HOMER™ brings together economics, engineering,and political value concepts into the design of a renewable energy system to meet the energyneeds of a residential home. Working together, students prioritize their imaginary residence‘senergy needs and then try to meet those needs using site-appropriate renewable energytechnology.

Introduction:II. A. Overview: Seventeen ninth grade students worked in teams to build their own low costrobots, program them, and use them to draw various geometric shapes on a canvas of 6’ x 6’, allduring a regular semester long course. The course was designed to enhance their interest inengineering and math, while providing a social context of empowerment, competition and Page 23.1050.2cooperation.

an extremely thin shell arch or vault.One project focused on the constructability of a spiral staircase using this laminated vaultingtechnique. The second project looked at the constructability of arches and three-dimensionalhyperbolic paraboloids. A third project modeled the laminated spiral staircase structures usingthe finite element method. A fourth project used the arch building technique as the basis for anoutreach program to 6th grade students interested in engineering. As can be seen from the fourprojects described here, student creativity was allowed to flourish, yet the mentor kept theprojects manageable because they were all interconnected. Such careful “reigning in” ofundergraduate research projects has been recommended

-relatedawards, with awards in the “Engineering” discipline receiving the largest funding. After reviewing andanalyzing a statistical sample of abstracts, two observations emerged. First, the representation ofcyberlearning awards varies across disciplines. Secondly, while learning management systems (e.g.,Blackboard) are used most often, cyberlearning is rarely used to support learning in a real-world contextor to provide a personalized learning experience. Furthermore, qualitative analysis of the responses from18 interviews with NSF Program Officers led to interesting insights. A taxonomy of cyberlearning wasdeveloped to show that it occurs on macro-, meso-, and micro-scales (where each scale indicates thenumber of learners and accessible resources

Reduction in RF exposures can be accomplished through the implementation ofappropriate administrative, work practice, and engineering controls. These various controls arethe elements of an RF Protection Program, and should be a part of an employer's comprehensivesafety and health program. In complex environments, an audit of RF generators and susceptiblepopulations and devices is very important. A variety of RF measurements and/or computermodeling simulations are frequently necessary for an effective RF Protection Program. Forexample, OSHA’s website on

IntroductionIn today’s world, tests and exams are given in an environment that is increasingly artificial.Most technical work is done with computers. Few people would attempt to write acomputer program, analyze forces on a building, or even write a piece of prose, without theaid of a computer. But that’s just the kind of environment we place our students in whenthey take an exam.All of the leading learning-management systems and textbook publishers have online testingmodules that can be used to deliver quizzes or exams. However, few instructors havecompletely done away with paper exams. Online exams preclude certain types of questions
