analog optical communication link and a color organ. Our goal is to engage students inbuilding and hacking simple circuits that give immediate satisfaction, then use those circuits toillustrate a rule-of-thumb approach to the theory behind them. Our expectation is that, havingengaged the students in electronics, some of them will be motivated to enroll in more advancedcourses to learn how to use circuit theory to develop their circuit design skills.Rationale and GoalsThis subject was inspired by the recognition that high-school students with little formal trainingin electronic circuit theory can (and do) build fairly sophisticated electronic circuits1. They do sothrough simple models of how devices operate and rule-of-thumb design practices

With theirprofessor’s instructions and examples, the students gradually and effectively developed thenecessary knowledge for implementing their research. This new knowledge includes deeperunderstanding of SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS, MATLAB, and machining techniques, giving thestudents real-world skills that will be used in their future engineering endeavors.A particular example of the dynamic learning environment created by this project may be seen inthe expansion of the students’ knowledge of SOLIDWORKS.

ConferenceCooperative LearningWhile cooperative, sometimes referred to as collaborative or group, learning is related toteamwork, they are distinct from each other. Cooperative learning is where students worktogether in the pursuit of knowledge. It may be considered a subset of teamwork thatencompasses more than just learning. Gauvain (2018) also called cooperative learning “sociallearning” [17]. Cooperative problem solving (CPS) is gaining attention because of theincreasingly more complex problems in the modern world [18]. Cohen (1996) wrote of the manypotential benefits of cooperative learning including learning gains, development of higher-orderthinking, prosocial behavior, interracial acceptance, and improved management of academicheterogeneity in

One of their ideas was to give students “a task targeted to aspecific audience, for example, a CEO needs X”, and the lab reports were to “fulfill the task astargeted to the audience.” An emerging pedagogical trend is the transition from demonstration-type labs to hands-on activities, from using step-by-step lab manuals to task-driven, project-based learning (PBL) approaches [7].This trend is consistent with our overall Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering curriculum atCSU Chico as it has evolved over recent years.

! (Equation 6)where Ci is the concentration of specie i, t is time, and ri is the rate of formation of specie i. If thematerial is a reactant, then ri is negative. The overall rate of formation of a specie takes intoaccount all formation and loss reactions in a mechanism. To begin the exercise, students needed to first identify which reactions formed anddestroyed each specie in the overall mechanism. After doing so, a material balance on that speciecould be developed. As an example, ozone (O3) was formed in reaction 2 with rate r2 anddestroyed in reaction 3 with rate r3. Thus, the net rate of O3 formation was r2- r3, and the materialbalance for O3 was determined to be

. Overview of the LiteratureCultural anthropologists agree that shared knowledge is socially generated, disseminated andactively constructed. In the past three decades, anthropologists have eloquently critiquedessentialized portrayals of culture, portrayals that present culture as “homogeneous” and“static”.7, 8 Cognitive anthropologists are especially interested in exploring variations, bothbetween and within groups (“inter- and intra-cultural variation”) to measure the extent to whichinformation is shared. They conceptualize knowledge as an “information pool”, with differentgroup members sharing differing ideas based on both individual differences and social contexts.9A methodology developed by quantitative anthropologists may be used to rigorously
