I meet with them on a regular basis who challenge me to deepdive into amazing, fun rabbit holes of learning.The popular television program, Young Sheldon, highlights the struggles and the triumphsassociated with academically accelerated students who tackle more challenging course loads,well before their classmates. I am one of those accelerated students, albeit more socially skilledas I feel collaboration is very important.

These classactivities have also been adapted for use as a recruiting tool. They are effective at engagingstudent interest when used with presentations to prospective students.BackgroundWhile attempting to move a manufacturing engineering technology program to the hyflexdelivery mode, a grant was received to explore the conversion of traditional in-lab experiences toat-home options. The goal was to use inexpensive, readily available parts and materials tosimulate the in-lab experience

In the complexity measure, the degrees of freedom quantity refers to the totalnumber of unique ways a curriculum can be rearranged term-by-term while keeping logicalprerequisite structures [14]. This measure provides insight into how much flexibility studentshave in designing their plans of study, such as delaying a certain course to a later semester thatthey deem to require more attention or allowing space to retake courses they failed.

Because initial results indicated that therewere no statistically significant differences between students regardless of the level of exposureto the PLI, the end phases of the project evolved to include focus group research with studentswho had participated in the PLI program. Among the recurring themes were concerns withcontent, delivery mechanisms, and lack of interactivity in the PLI sessions. 27 Comments fromthe 2010 focus groups included: “Just sitting and listening in a PLI seminar does not promote learning.” “More field
