In this design, real-time collaboration between severalstudents is enabled by using Microsoft ConferenceXP Client. Unlike the system designed atMTSU, lab routers are connected via their console lines to a terminal server (see subsection IV-B), and thus can be accessed even if their configuration is incorrect. However, the maindrawback in this design is that students can only work on predefined topologies and cannot builda network topology remotely.III.

The springs are to be usedin the design of the mechanisms to satisfy the required modes/configurations of the modulesduring their: a) transport, b) expansion, and c) the final intended geometry. For full details of thescenario and the activity, refer to Appendix “A”.If there are to be four (4) groups of students [comprised of three (3) or four (4) members] forconducting the experiment, each group will collect data on only one of the sample sets. Eachgroup will then share the results of their measurements with the other groups. In this process,each group has established an average “K” value for “each and all” of the 25 springs in oneassigned set. Since five

The main challenges that the students faced in the 2008 Project-based learningproject were: a) an AM transmitter or receiver design of their own, b) intensive study andresearch of AM modulators, oscillators, mixers, frequency multipliers and other RFcircuits, since electronic communication circuits are studied in detail a semester later in asecond electronic course and RF theory is introduced a year later in the Communicationcourse.Effects on student learning concerning the concepts and applications of the studiedelectronics components were measured during the semester

Engagement is productive tothe extent that conceptual or practical progress on a problem is made over time. Finally,engagement is disciplinary when students use the discourse and practices of a specific STEMdiscipline in their work together.If Engle and Conant’s conjecture is accurate, the STEM learning environments that we describein this paper should foster productive disciplinary engagement by supporting “(a) problematizingsubject matter, (b) giving students authority to address such problems, (c) holding studentsaccountable to others and to shared disciplinary norms, and (d) providing students with relevantresources.”6 The pull of

This challenge led us to develop an engineering-wide research course which exposes studentsto the research process in a structured, step-by-step manner. The main difference between thiscourse and a more traditional approach is that the research topic is initiated by the student withthe assistance of the class instructors. The student then performs each step of the researchprocess using their chosen topic. Because the student will have an inherent interest in theproblem they choose to solve, we anticipate the student will be exposed to

Metrology regulations form the basis for national andinternational trade—we trust that a gallon of gas sold at gas station A is the same quantity as agallon of gas obtained down the road at gas station B, mainly because we know that legalmetrological requirements have to be enforced by the state by law. The same applies tointernational trade. How else can we be sure that a volt measured with a voltmeter produced inthe United States is the same quantity measured by a voltmeter produced in Germany (takinginto account the two instruments’ specifications, of course)? The lack of such assurance wouldbe a large obstacle to global trade.The need for international agreements on measurement units and standards as the basis for
