Participants went back to their schools withmany ideas and educational materials developed in the institutes. Based on these materials,teachers developed more than forty teaching units which were posted on Blackboard forreference. Many of the participants had shared their learning experience with their colleaguesand played a leadership role in developing new approaches and curriculum in their schooldistricts. In an assessment conducted by a team of educators, we concluded that the instituteshad a positive impact on students, teachers, and schools.REFERENCES1

Theytested the drug release effectiveness by sonicating robot samples for various time intervals andobserving the robot behavior and release dynamics. In order to assess the ultrasonic power andeffective causes of release, students had to employ research and analysis methods to characterizethe results of their experimentation. They used spectrophotometry techniques and a selectedchromogenic substrate, Tetramethylbenzadine (TMB), to quantitatively measure the amount ofreleased drug with respect to ultrasound exposure time. This gave students the opportunity toapply common engineering instrumentation methods to discover and report the success

Leonardo daVinci is widely recognized to be one of the first practitioners of this scientific art. He spentmany years in his makeshift laboratory and in the field observing the movements of water andair. During his research, he maintained detailed notes and drawings to record his observations. Asketch from Leonardo’s notebooks of a free water jet issuing from a square hole into a poolrepresents perhaps the world’s first use of visualization as a scientific tool to study turbulentflow.As the quintessential “Renaissance man,” Leonardo would likely

Threatening behavior isresponded to via logging, reporting or some action on the part of the IDS or related systems.The value of an IDS system lies in its ability to accurately determine if an action is a result of an intrusionor normal behavior. Intrusion detection systems fall into two broad categories. The first approach isStatistical Anomaly Detection. The underlying premise of this approach is that an intruder’s activity willdiffer from that of a legitimate user. Legitimate user behavior is derived by analyzing past activity.Aberrations

The study took place during theregularly scheduled discussion sections, and because of time-constraints, we assessed onlylearning gains related to the construction of free body diagrams; we did not consider gainsfor equilibrium equations. To measure learning gains, we examined performance on pre-and posttests. We also conducted a survey of student’s opinions of the usability andinstructional usefulness of the system.The next section places this work in the context of related work. This is followed by anoverview of the Newton’s Pen II system, and then details of the system’s design. Finally,results of the user study are presented and discussed.Related WorkAs described above

The speed with which a computer executes its instructions can have a profound effect on an observer’s perception of the machine’s capability.Having answered the first two of our three questions, we sought a pedagogical approach toaccomplish these goals quickly. Given the assessment data showing the efficacy of activelearning techniques1 we decided to take an active learning approach. Most of these approaches(e.g., problem based learning) would require more time than was available in the seminar, so wedecided to use a game to teach the required concepts. Lepper and Malone2 found

These simulations can be used for teachingpurposes. The code is provided to the students so that they can focus on the results.
