It has been determined that you will be using nuclear activation analysis (NAA) todetermine the selenium level in a biological monitor. From the following choices, which doyou think is best suited to measure the selenium level in a biological monitor? A. Prompt Nuclear Activation Analysis (PGNAA) B.

B. Interactions Between Faculty, Students, and Lab TechniciansAlthough the objective is certainly to have the students work with minimal supervision, it isdefinitely necessary to keep track of the students' progress or lack thereof. Weekly written andoral progress reports are necessary, and the professor should not hesitate to take a more activerole in project direction if he/she sees that students are proceeding too slowly or haveencountered major obstacles. It may be necessary at certain times

Morganti Angie Dunn ASEE Annual Conference 2 Abstract The typical engineering degree plan has several important gaps when reviewed againstthe research lifecycle. These gaps are often filled in by students learning ad hoc, by overworkedfaculty over numerous mentoring sessions, or often by the engineering research librarians inworkshops and consultations. Purposeful incorporation of a curriculum that fills those gaps,though, can

for the needed preparation, aninterview can be conducted live or asynchronously, through video or face-to-face, and the subjectmatter can span any assessment topic the professor seeks to capture (see Appendix B for additionalcontent). In project-based learning courses, progress interviews can serve as a mechanism forstudents to make guided partial progress, reiterate their process to affirm correctness of theirapproach, solicit feedback in a low-stakes assignment and in advance of grading of the majorproject assignment, and request input from the professor. An ePortfolio is another element usefulin the hybrid project-based course as a tool to perform assessment, moderate progress, andencourage creative thinking. In some cases, very similar to
education has been widely noted. Thishas been driven by the need to develop a wide range of skills such as innovativeness, creativity,and problem-solving in engineering students to succeed in today’s technology-driven economy.Increasingly, graduates are expected to adapt their complex problem-solving skills to align withthe modern-day multidisciplinary practice of engineering [1], know how to integrate theirscience and technical training to enhance industrial practice [2], and successfully navigate futurechallenges through continued innovation [1].

They argued that good PBL problems should be(a) open-ended and ill-defined; (b) of challenging complexity, engaging, and adapted to priorlearning of students; and (c) realistic. Pedagogical introduction of problem-based learning is credited to the medicalcommunity (Savin-Baden & Howell, 2004), and has been recognized for “inducing revolutionaryundergraduate medical reform” (Maudsley, (1999). With a seemingly parallel objective over amulti-year period, the National Science Foundation has continued to appeal to researchers torevolutionize engineering education (National Science Foundation, 2014, 2018). As PBL has become more widespread, several changes have
created. Classroom Acurrently has 35 workstations for students and a teacher station connected to an isolated 1.0 GbpsLAN, while Classroom B is similarly equipped but with only 12 student workstations. In bothclassrooms, the desktop PCs are equipped with specialized software to allow synchronouscollaborative interactions between teacher-students and student-student for in-class projects, aswell as for receiving classroom instructions from experts located outside the campus viavideoconferencing technologies. Starting in Fall 20052, we incorporated the use of a Tablet PCby the teacher in developing hand-written materials that are best created during class time, suchas deriving computer algorithms interactively with student inputs, going over

Course ObjectivesOverview: The most important finding about the Course Objectives has been that most of thestudents agree that these objectives had been met in Sooner City courses. These major conceptsare at the heart of Sooner City and appear in some form in the questionnaires of all Sooner Citycourses. They reflect the goal of producing engineering graduates who: a. Have developed strong design skills through repeated practice, beginning in the freshman year b. Can perform critical thinking and know how to go about solving complex, open-ended

One could show how outfielderscatch a fly ball using the linear optical trajectory (LOT) model which received much nationalattention in 1995. This model uses equations to relate the motion of the fly ball to the motion of theoutfielder using a mathematical foundation. The LOT hypothesis determines “the strategy thefielder uses to catch a fly ball by following a path that will keep the optical trajectory projectionangle constant, this is equivalent to keeping the ratio (tan cx)/(tan B) constant.”23Merrimack
