economic development, the peak demand of the gridwill reach about 17512 MW by 2013 and will exceed its Dependable Capacity by 2007. Due to this, therewill b e a need for more power plants to supply the grid. Electric supply comes from a number of powerplants operated by the National Power Corporation and Private Independent Power Producers in theisland.Proposed Power PlantPresently, the Luzon Power Grid has enough power supply to energize its customers, one of which isQuezon City. The proposal to create a municipal Solid Waste power plant within the area of the city isnot intended to make the city independent in its power needs. Rather, the construction of the plant hopesto put more power on the grid as older power plants are retired with the

, participants were asked to provide comments on the most usefulaspects of the day’s workshop sessions and on what sessions could be modified or improved.Finally, participants were asked to rate the overall workshop from several perspectives. Theseincluded the extent to which the workshop facilitated (a) sharing of ideas, materials, andmethods, (b) developing learning objectives in SE, (c) networking with others interested in SE,(d) clarifying understanding of the field of SE, and (e) expanding teaching in SE. The ratingcategories were “A Great Deal,” “Some,” “A Little,” and “Not At All,” with scores of 4, 3, 2,and 1, respectively.At the time of this writing, scores have been summarized only for the 2007 workshops.

Waller 6 suggesteddeveloping procedures to elicit immediate feedback from students on lecture clarity. Sheindicated that there appears to be value added to the learning process by briefly reviewing pointsand assessing current understanding. Additionally, student input can provide guidance for initialinformation to be explored in the next lecture. Turns, et al. 7, detailed the need for instructors tobe able to generate robust, valid and informative descriptions of what students know.This research hypothesized that an entire class of students would benefit from increasedinteraction with the lecture and laboratory

We also may control for instructor by evaluating projects underpre-intervention conditions with the second instructor.

the stated goal of the REU program to help attract and retain students in STEM,including careers in teaching and education research, these programs can help students achieve awide variety of learning outcomes. Some of these learning outcomes clearly map to the ABETcriterion C “A-K” outcomes; such as b “the ability to design and conduct experiments, andanalyze and interpret data”.10 Other outcomes may also be achieved to varying degreesdepending on the structure and activities associated with a particular REU site. For example, theClarkson REU likely improved students’ knowledge of sustainability9, which is a desiredoutcome in both the Environmental Engineering Body of Knowledge11 and the Civil EngineeringBody of Knowledge12.Kardash13 found
