readily observe their effectiveness anecdotally inthe classroom, evaluating their effectiveness more rigorously remains a challenge. As a firststep, we attempted to discern concrete differences between the concept maps students made inthe initial (conceptual) design stage and those they produced during the final exam, looking foran increased sense of “connectedness” and “causality” from one to the other. In particular, weexamined the maps in terms of the numbers of nodes and links, any causality representedbetween nodes, and the students’ choice(s) of “top” node, among other general qualities.As expected, the “causality” demonstrated by the students certainly matured (on average)between their initial and final concept maps, but it was difficult

Administration buildings are responsible for 48% ofgreenhouse gas emissions annually and 76% of all electricity generated by U.S. power plants. [5]Passive House Construction offers a solution to these problems, but while popular in Europe, it isnot yet widespread in our country. According to Germany’s Passivhaus Institute, "A passivehouse is a building in which a comfortable interior climate can be maintained without activeheating and cooling systems. The house heats and cools itself." The forerunner to the passivehouse was the "super-insulated" houses of North America built in the 1970’s.[6] Passive Housingstarted in May 1988 by Professor Bo Adamson and physicist Dr. Wolfgang Feist during aresearch stay (in the field of building construction) at the

In addition to digital resources available to the studentsthrough Blackboard, I have placed several textbooks on reserve at the library.Student responses so far have been mixed. In addition to midterm and end-of-term surveysrelated to the effectiveness of this approach, I am tracking student usage of the digitalresources.

This is likelydue to the fact that few students earn all A’s and A+’s in previous coursework, so very few havea GPA higher than 4.0. This prediction, therefore, fails to predict that students will score an A+in a future course. 100% 95% 90% Actual Performance (in CE300) 85% 80% 75

This is a green alternative to traditional methods of cellulose-basedmaterials production, which require the use of harsh solvents. This technology can also be fed byrecycled organic materials since bacterial cellulose can be produced by Acetobacter xylinumfrom a number of simple carbohydrate sources - which can be obtained cheaply from farm andfruit wastes.
