The length of the poster session is dependent uponthe number of capstone projects, but enough time is allotted so that the judges may spend at least20 minutes with each project.

Motivation and Vision:Introductory courses tend to be required for lower-division students and these courses act asprerequisites for upper-division courses that tend to be more discipline-specific and thus, may bemore engaging for students. Introductory courses provide fundamental information andknowledge needed for upper-division courses. This framework continues throughout anacademic course map, forming a linear advancement.

To reach these goals, it was necessary that the workshopprovide a general introduction to standards and provide a forum to allow interaction betweenfaculty, students, staff and standards personnel. In order to represent the extensive impact thattechnical standards have on a wide range of industries, it was necessary that a variety of differentstandards bodies and faculty from various disciplines be represented. This wide representationwas necessary to maximize the reach to students of different engineering disciplines.Consequently, the workshop was organized as two panels sessions, each including time forquestions and

Although alignedtextbook readings are also noted for those that prefer that method of preparation, the vastmajority of students self-report that they only watch the videos to prepare for lecture. For thefirst 5-10 min of each 65 min class period, the students are quizzed, first, individually and, then,in groups on their ability to remember and understand of the content of the videos.

In this study, we investigated the effect of thesupervised homework sessions on students’ homework and exam scores. We found that thesupervised homework sessions had the most influence on the homework scores of the studentswith low native ability. Also, as the byproduct of the study, we investigated the effect of theScholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)-Math scores on students’ academic performance.

By operational definition wemean that students are describing a process, or operation, to give meaning to technical terms. Forexample we can give an operational meaning to “derivative”, by describing the followingoperation: drawing tangent lines on a position versus time graph at regular intervals of time,examine the slope of each tangent line segment and ask if it is positive or negative, and large orsmall, plot the value of the slopes of the tangent lines and generate a velocity versus
