. Thus theycould make changes and re-teach the activity.As part of the MSTP project, we had researched student performance data and found that percent,measurement, area, and perimeter were concepts students did not demonstrate understanding ofon standardized examinations. In part the difficulty arose from instruction too frequentlyoccurring at too low a level. For instance, in asking math teachers how they taught percents,most gave formulaic answers that failed to teach depth of understanding. When discussing area,the approach was the memorization of an equation with a mnemonic.In this three-and-one-half week professional development experience, the first week was spent inintroducing teachers to current middle-school mathematics content and

An example of the test procedure for a simpleLED toggle project is shown in Figure 2. An example of the complete test circuit document forLab 3 is provided in the appendix. The automated tester circuit is particularly useful for testingthe quick-reaction game implementation, as it allows us to generate inputs at precise timings toverify all boundary conditions in the lab implementation.

The organization is using modernizedteaching methods that are “research-proven, state-of-the-art teaching methods that are different,fun, challenging and more effective.” This gateway class attempts to integrate nearly all facets ofthe measurement lab into the learn-by-doing activities to provide a fun, unparalleled experiencefor the first-time students. Activities in the class include micrometer calibration using gaugeblocks, a study of springs using a height gauge and mass standards, pressure and forcemeasurements of footballs, load-displacement

On-the-job-training, however, was not providing the depth of knowledge employers were looking for—especially as people with many years of experience were leaving through retirement. Underthese conditions, it made sense to have a pool of potential employees who had a good foundationand the option to go further with their schooling.From the student perspective, by offering a level-1 certificate that has a strong potential to leadto work, it lowers the initial threshold of challenge—a 1-year program sounds very do-able,whereas a 2-year program may not seem within reach.

With the advent of IoT, a large number of devices are now being connected tothe web for data collection, management, and control [1, 2, 3, 4]. As a subset of IoT, remotelaboratories allow to access laboratory equipment over the web to perform experiments. Atraditional remote laboratory system involves a full-scale computer system along withassociated interfacing and web hosting technologies, but sometimes there is significantoverhead for the initial commission and subsequent maintenance of a remote laboratorysystem [5, 6].

This, together with the welldocumented performance of the 555 timer, and the customer-specified maximum oscillatoroutput frequency when the probe is dry, allowed the teams to compare various geometry designsfor their probes. A dielectric constant of 2.1 was assumed for the mineral oil test fluid for allcalculations.8Due to the symmetry of the probe construction, the capacitance varies linearly with the depth ofthe fluid, h, to be measured with an initial offset of the dry probe (air dielectric

enrollment grows it also becomes increasinglydifficult to connect with students and evaluate learning in the traditional lecture format. Thecurrent effort to adopt research based strategies was precipitated by this loss of individual contactwith students (coming from class sizes of typically less than 20 students) and the support of VCPprogram. The availability of model POGIL activities from the Douglas text2, significantlyreduced initial preparation time. In addition, it provides an evidence based model (POGIL) forthe continued development of instructional modules where premade content is lacking. Basedinitial experiences, the development of additional POGIL modules can be significantly less timeconsuming than preparing traditional lecture
