learning strategy, called PeerInstruction, in an undergraduate electric circuit analysis course offered at a large publicuniversity in Colombia. Peer Instruction is an instructional approach that fosters students’collaboration to increase conceptual understanding. Data was collected from three sectionsof the course mentioned above. In two sections, students attended a traditional class format(51 students) while another section (15 students) implemented the Peer Instructionmethodology. The research question driving this project was whether Peer Instructionwould produce significantly higher learning gains than the traditional blackboard and chalkapproach. A difference was determined using a quasi-experimental study comparing thelearning gains of the

The other thoughtexperiments that Mermin subsequently developed are more appropriate for an advancedaudience; the devices he describes do not require perfectly correlated particles. The concept ofentanglement is fundamental to quantum mechanics and was first introduced by Schrödinger in1935. However, as Schroeder [9] points out, the word has been virtually absent from publicationuntil the 1980’s. Various aspects of quantum computation are revisited throughout the course asMATLAB projects. These projects escalate in complexity and are used to reinforce the value

The thermo-fluids lab course (ME 342W) has a pre-requisite, Heat Transfer, which hasits own pre-requisites including Fluid Mechanics. The lab course that typically precedes ME342W by a year is a Mechanical Engineering Materials and Laboratory course (ME 213W). Thetypical structure of ME 342W is that there is a lecture each week and a lab each week, with eachgroup performing a lab experiment once every two weeks, and having the remainder of the twoweeks to produce a completed lab report

To assume equality among humans leaves out and ignores important dimensions of human existence….Inequality gives rise to unequal relationships of authority, and to domination and subordination….The moral precept of responsiveness requires that we remain alert to the possibilities for abuse that arise with vulnerability [5].It is crucial for engineers to recognize that they act and communicate with considerable authorityin society, and that there is potential for abuse of this authority over more vulnerable people.Many engineering projects, from large public works projects such as the Dakota

Authors believe that it ishigh time that the discussed surface parameters, tools, filters and mathematical modeling ofmethods be included in all design, manufacturing and capstone project courses (freshmenthrough senior year). A better educated workforce would be able to contribute significantlyhigher to quality tools and advanced metrology. It is an evolutionary process, i.e., standards keepconstantly changing; however, it must transition smoothly into the curriculum. It is imperativethat course instructors keep up to date with the latest standards, and implement them as shortinteractive modules.

The developmentof the analytical model follows the work of [2] and [3] who, in turn, implement the minimalBergman model, developed by Richard Bergman and colleagues [4].The first step to developing the model is understanding the physiology. The body regulates bloodglucose concentration via pancreatic secretions called endocrines (or hormones). Low bloodglucose concentration causes the pancreas to produce glucagon and high blood glucoseconcentration causes the production of insulin. In patients with diabetes (both type 1 and

Building on that prior work, our objective here is to prove the effectiveness of the hybrid formatintroduced in the course. To that end, two feedback tools were implemented: (1) a pre-coursesurvey was used to gauge the students’ self-reported knowledge on key element of the course. Thesame survey questions were added to the end of semester survey, thus enabling us to quantify theprogress that was made.

As you can see, we generally followed a chronologicalorder (to also tie in the contributor’s work to the history of computing) and attempted torepresent contributors from a wide variety of backgrounds. Because the last two weeks of thecourse were devoted to final projects (with no lecture period), we did not present any computingcontributors during this time.
