April 27-28, 2012 CONCLUSIONScience educators are facing increased challenges with mounting accountability for raising science achievementamong their students. As the demands for more effective teaching and a more coherent focus on science skills grow,an expanding body of research points to four major teaching practices that improve a student’s grasp of sciencecontent and process skills: namely a design-based inquiry approach to teaching, explicit scaffolding of instruction,the use of technology, and collaborative learning. Despite the overwhelming evidence, these methods have failed togain traction in science classrooms because teachers perceive them as difficult to implement [11].The InterLACE

identity and create afeeling of authenticity in the field.Introduction and Literature ReviewThe benefits of engineering internships to students have been well established in literature [6],[7]. Internships provide opportunities for professional development (such as the improvement oftechnical and communication skills) as well as a look into what a career in engineering entails[8], [9], [10]. Literature has also established the positive influence of quality mentorship onstudents and how these relationships can help retain students in their respective fields [11], [12].It has also been found that internships can impact the persistence of underrepresented groups inengineering [13], [14]. Engineering workplace cultures are frequently male dominated

The same ruleshould apply whether students are using local clusters or the Cloud. However, using actualdistributed servers in the cloud can improve students’ understandings for issues related to thedistributed system, thus improving the learning outcomes.Numerous parallel models exist today in a parallel programming course.

Following the approval of the final design, fans, motors, andother necessary materials were ordered to assemble the tunnel.The first year team studied and compared the closed and open-circuit wind-tunnels. The closeddesign was selected for its compact size and relatively low noise level, as the tunnel will beinstalled in a small room. The team made its design based on the size of the test section. No flowsimulation of the closed or open-circuit wind tunnel was conducted. To accelerate their progress,the motor and fan for the wind
