. Nordoes it give a statistical description of large populations.ConclusionInformal leaders on student teams have to manage the task and relationships. Successful informalleaders manage the task component by a) taking time to understand the task, b) being technicallycompetent, c) maintaining quality through questioning and informal assessment, d) keeping thegroup focused on the task.The observed informal leaders also managed team relationships, although they were lesseffective at it. At times other team members assisted in managing the relational component.Managing the relational aspect of teamwork involves a) creating and maintaining a collaborativeenvironment, b) exhibiting fairness and humility toward teammates, and c) using creativity
which they recovered successfullyand one in which they recovered unsuccessfully. Failure is thus defined in terms of how thestudent views it, similar to what they view as successful and unsuccessful. This section iscomposed of two sets of seven open-response questions, one for an unsuccessful recovery andone for a successful recovery respectively. They are as follows: a. Approximately, how long ago did this incident occur? b. Briefly describe the incident. c. How did you react to this failure? Please elaborate. d. Describe, if applicable, any immediate effect on your behavior or actions you took in response to the failure. e. Why do you consider your recovery successful/unsuccessful? Please elaborate. f.

(b) is there any threshold at which the informationdissemination becomes a global cascade? (c) what is the rate and extent at which the informationdisseminates? The answer to these questions can be found in many empirical studies of real worldsystems, such as, disease transmission [7, 8]; transmission of computer viruses [9, 10]; collapse infinancial systems [11], failures of power grid

Only 10 students (out of 19) responded to thesurvey from the smaller section (Section B). Since the survey was part of the end-of-semesterStudent Assessment of Instruction (SAI), an Institutional Review Board (IRB) request forHuman Subjects Research was not necessary. The survey was conducted in the electronic formatonly and students had access to the survey during the last four weeks of the semester. Studentswere asked to respond to the following statements in the survey: 1. The instructor explains the subject matter clearly. 2. The instructor answers questions appropriately. 3.

The activitiesin the cross-curricular program included: a) learning about portfolios in general, b) evaluatingother portfolios, c) writing a professional statement, d) finding artifacts, e) deciding whichartifacts to include in the portfolio, f) writing annotations for the artifacts, g) getting peer andprofessional feedback, and h) presenting the portfolio to others. The interaction amongst peersand the teaching faculty member provided ample opportunity to deeply explore the issuesstudents faced, the component activities, and how those issues and activities interacted during theportfolio creation.Six students participated in this study.

Researchers should equip themselves with two types of knowledge: (a) knowledge on data science and machine learning, which is a driver of the fourth Industrial Revolution; and (b) knowledge specific to the types of student experiences (i.e., curricular and co-curricular) of their research interest. These two bodies of knowledge appear to be increasingly important to the interdisciplinary field of engineering education. Researchers also need to keep an open mind and explore a wider range of

value is not the goal, so they needto think of some means besides an equation to reach this goal. And in the latter case thestudent may simply think they can use the heuristic of process of elimination to rank thechoices on the basis of one of the parameters given.Ranking tasks can also be used to help students better understand equations as models—representations—of physical systems and how common sense ideas they have affect howthey try to apply equations. For example, the ranking task shown in Figure 4 was givenas a homework task in a general physics course enrolling engineering technology majorsafter Newton’s second law had been introduced. Two thirds of the students (19/29)produced a ranking of E first, A and D tied for second, C fourth, B
