Furthermore,greater use of a student-centered strategy was inversely related to perception of cost – with lowuse associated with perception of greater cost. IntroductionThis study began with a team of researchers wanting to assess the effect of a National ScienceFoundation funded professional development program for engineering faculty. Beyond typicalevaluation, a goal was to delve into faculty member mindsets about particular classroomstrategies that were intended to be conveyed from professional development to the classrooms.While there exists no shortage of instruments for measuring faculty attitudes and self-reportedclassroom practices, the intent here

Therefore, the laboratoryexercises conducted during the nuclear reactor design course at West Point revolved around measuringand calculating the flux at different positions in a given geometry. The neutron flux is the number ofneutrons per unit area per unit time. Because the neutron density is higher within proximity to a fissionsource, it follows that the flux will be the highest near the center of the source and decrease with distancefrom the source.Later in the course

Yet, real-world problems are complicated and dynamic. How, then, can we pushthe boundaries of successful capstone design programs to encapsulate an experience that more directlymimics the complexities and diversities that exist in professional practice? We propose a model forcapstone design that more closely approximates professional engineering practice with students workingon multiple projects, each on a distinct timeline and each with a different team of participants.

In research labs, students can extend and apply content they learn inclass and pursue independent lines of inquiry. We ask whether engaging in research experiencescan therefore support and promote students’ curiosity. Eight undergraduate engineering studentsworking in research labs participated in a semi-structured interview about their research andclass experiences. These interviews were coded for themes related to uncertainty and curiosity.This paper specifically investigates causes of students’ curiosity and their responses touncertainty.

A microcontroller is the brain of an embedded systemand can be programmed with code to perform a particular function. The combination of analog,digital, and microcontroller devices create an embedded system.
