For individual projects,there is the added problem of an unpredictably wide variety of choices. This paper reports theresults of progressively encouraging student participation in both of these areas.The paper is based upon over thirty years of teaching undergraduate and graduate field researchcourses.IntroductionThe focus of this paper is one of many teaching techniques, the use of field projects, and aparticular type of project, applying the methodology of field research to testing an a priorihypothesis concerning

This is significantly higher than thenational average for physical science applicants to medical school, and for all matriculants inmedical schools.Accurate numbers on the rate of matriculation into medical school are difficult to obtain, for avariety of reasons. The principal reason is that many students take one or more years betweenundergraduate and medical school study to work, volunteer, or attend graduate school. In fact,the national

The study was motivatedby the reality that many steel structures are exposed to public spaces and the protection of thesestructures against close-range blast effects is a major concern to engineers and facility owners,while no building code requirements or procedures are present at the moment. The blast analysisinvolves both highly non-linear finite element analysis based on solid mechanics andcomputational fluid dynamics. The theoretical backgrounds of the analysis are mathematicallyintense and require knowledges from several graduate level courses.To engage undergraduate students in a highly technical and theoretical research project, a newpedagogy is needed; a guided learning component shall be more utilized than an

However,the so-called "strong" not only means an advantage in quantity, but also requires an increase invalue [1]. China's engineering ethics education started relatively later. The "Engineering EthicsResearch" conducted by Southwest Jiaotong University in 1998 represented the first attentionpaid by Chinese universities to engineering ethics, and the research results were ultimatelytransformed into China's first engineering ethics characteristic textbook.

Most institutions require research activity which is documented through grant proposalsubmissions and peer-reviewed publications. Before embarking on these time-consumingactivities, one must first choose a suitable research project. For junior faculty members freshfrom their Ph.D. work, this selection process can be discouraging, especially if the researchinvolves experimental studies.

The concept of a course “ecosystem”A conventional way to look at a course is as a piece of a curriculum. It has certain learningobjectives, and if students have achieved them by the end of the academic term, then the coursecan be considered a success. However, there is another, more active, way to view a course: acourse is an opportunity to direct students in their learning. This is a more powerful perspective,because it suggests that students learn by doing, not necessarily following the same path as otherstudents. Also, by following different paths, students can make their own contribution to theinstructor’s

State funding models vary widely, and while manyundergraduate programs at public universities receive state funding, most public universities donot receive formula funding for graduate studies [12]. Where graduate programs are funded, theyoften receive a higher funding level per student than undergraduate programs due to their highercost per student.
