Vygotsky conceived socio-cultural theory23 in the early 1920’s. Itemphasizes the central role of social relationships and culturally constructed artifacts inorganizing thinking. It attempts to theorize and provide methodological tools for investigatinghigher cognitive processes by which social, cultural and historical factors shape humanfunctioning. Cole and Engstrom’s model provides several dimensions along which one can studythe classroom as an activity system. They identify factors
Teaching Practicum providesa competitive advantage to the mechanical engineering doctoral degree at Georgia Tech. Theconsensus opinion appears to be in retaining the current topics in the course. Considerationshould be given for adding a session(s) on obtaining research funding and preparing grantproposals. Also, since many graduates do not enter academia, more coverage could be spent onadditional topics from industry and other career paths.Bibliography1.

Inside of the control room during a competition (MSU students John Ritter, ChrisChing, and Jennifer Hane).In addition to the technical rules, all teams competing had to turn in a systems engineering paper,and an outreach report. Optional items could also be turned in including a presentation about thedesign process and a video showing the design progression. Each of these elements of thecompetition earned points toward an overall team score that was combined with the results of themining competition.

the event.Communication is critical with the volunteer group; everyone should be clear on details such asarrival and departure time, what the volunteers should bring (water, gloves, food, etc.), what thevolunteer coordinators will provide (e.g. food or tools), what the task(s) for the day will be, andhow many volunteers are going to show. Almost as critical as the list of tasks is expectations, asthey can make or break a day. Having a crew show up really hoping to weed a site, and thenasking them pick up litter can put a damper on the day. It is important to give the volunteers aclear sense of what they will be doing, if they will be working with other groups, and any otherrelevant pieces of information.As part of having clear communication
institutions recognize onlyScholarship of Discovery, teaching-based institutions have started to recognize the other areas ofscholarship as defined by the Boyer’s Model.Scholarship at Gannon University is broadly recognized by three attributes: professional,communicated and peer-reviewed. Each of these attributes may be found at different levels, suchas University, regional, national or international (recognition, review, publication, etc.).Scholarship activity may be stronger in one of the three attributes; but, the body of a colleague'sscholarship should demonstrate all three to some degree.1. Professional — demonstrably pertinent to the discipline(s) of the individual faculty member.2. Communicated — evidence that the work has been made known

within eachcohort.The cohort each year is defined as the first-time, full-time freshmen officially enrolled for the fallsemester in the College of Engineering. A student is considered retained for a year if s/he is stillenrolled in the College of Engineering in subsequent fall semesters at the time of the census(typically 21 days into the fall semester). For example, the number of first-year students stillenrolled at the time of the census of the second year would measure first year retention, and thenumber of second year students still enrolled at the time of the census of the third year wouldmeasure second year retention.The data consisted of 10 cohorts entering the university between 2000 and 2009.

Someinteresting topics they have selected include: portable podium design, design of a bottleopener that can work for twisting off caps and popping off caps, improving design ofvegetable slicer, and redesign school bus seats.Peer reviewing will be used to evaluate their projects. Each presentation will be evaluatedby both instructor and peer groups. By the end of the semester, each student will submit aself-evaluation and s/he will also be evaluated her/his teammates.Evaluation Plan: The evaluation plan, designed to address progress
