and quickformative assessments of student understanding? In the Nigerian context, particularly as observedin this study, there was a huge reliance on visual and auditory stimuli as forms of formativeassessment by all the observed instructors.Although blatantly subjective, this cue was particularly effective in helping teachers navigatethrough the courses they taught. It became a matter of discussion during the follow-up interviews.I was particularly interested in understanding how instructors initiated them, how they interpretedthese visual and auditory cues, and how they learned to move on after the verification orelaboration had concluded. One instructor suggested that it was not ideal, because it was not anobjective test of understanding

What similarities and differences do returning students perceive between themselves and direct-pathway students?The data from this study are useful in beginning to answer these questions, and in informingfuture studies. Furthermore, with such data, universities will be able to more effectively advisereturning students. This will allow the university to gain from the strengths returners bring, aswell as better equip returners to earn their graduate degrees.BackgroundA significant number of graduate students have not followed a direct pathway from theirundergraduate education to graduate school.

specimen with girders embedded was initiated, but completed soon afterthe REU site ended. As a result, the effect of embedding girders in the diaphragm could not becompletely evaluated during the project duration, but initial assessment of performance wasreported. Prestressed concrete bridge girders are fabricated by stretching steel cable strands to atension of approximately 200 ksi. Concrete is then poured around the stressed strands and whenthe concrete reaches the specified strength, the steel cable strands are cut at each end of thegirder. The strands inside the girder acts like a rubber band and attempt to snap. However, sincethe strands are bonded to the concrete, the concrete prevents the strand from snapping back to itsfull

They go on to suggest that theumbrella term, leadership learning, is made up of three discrete elements: leadership training,leadership education, and leadership development. Leadership training involves activitiesdesigned to improve the performance of individuals in specific managerial roles; leadershipeducation aims to improve individuals’ leadership competencies beyond their current roles; andleadership development involves a “continuous, systemic process designed to expand thecapacities and awareness of individuals

Because it was closed-source, there was no possibility that theycould be fabricated by a third party. A market search was done to look for other platforms thatconnected with Scratch, but few existed, some were too expensive, and others were no longeravailable for sale. These problems led the authors of this article to design and develop a newplatform that interacted with the latest version of Scratch® that could be used for future trainingprograms. We included actuators, which were not included in the original platform, and moresensors to improve the students’ learning of hardware-software interaction.In this article, we

those in the Louisiana state code. One big difference in thesociety codes and the state board codes is in the effect upon the individual engineer who violates it. Aviolation of a society code can result in the society dismissing an engineer as a member and publicizingsuch dismissal. A violation of the state board code can result in a loss of license as well as significantpenalty fees.Since they are more binding on the engineer, it would be ideal for us to analyze a registration code ofconduct. However, there is no national registration of engineering in the United States. Therefore, inorder to be relevant to as many engineers as possible, we will analyze the code of the National Societyof Professional Engineers (N.S.P.E.). This organization

The results show a delay of less than 1second between the transition from the fuel cell power to battery power. Additionally, it was foundthat both fuel cell and battery supplied battery at the same time, but the latter was almost negligible.However, the battery effectively supplied the drone with almost the same amount of power as thefuel cell when hydrogen was exhausted. Finally, it was found that the battery system plays animportant role when the fuel cell is being turned on or off.Keywords Fuel Cell, Student Paper, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane, Light Detection and Ranging,and Lithium-Polymer Batteries
