% preferred to use both an onlineresource and calculator. Page 26.1614.9The majority of the responses for the choice(s) of technology was due to (1) ease of access; (2)simple usage; (3) not knowing other technologies. The interview responses regarding to thegraphing problem indicated the following outcomes for the majority of the participants:• Lack of ability to use the programming languages they learned (such as C, C++, Java, Excel) during their high school years for solving a graphing problem in mathematics;• Those who learned how to use a calculator in high school continued using it during their

Figure 3 shows a typical experimental graph of dynamic viscosity versustemperature showing that the relationship between viscosity and temperature is not linear, but thetrend is comparable for all three fluids.

, or in a subset of domains in the database.4.1 Polysemy Tool OverviewThe polysemy tool interface looks a lot like the clustering survey application used previously: itshows a term and its concepts in semantic clusters that can be changed via a threshold slider. Inaddition, the polysemy tool adds utilization of all terms and concepts in the database, and alsoprovides the ability to filter results by domain(s). The figure below shows the new tool divisionon the Termediator web app and the view of a single term in the polysemy tool. Figure 5. Polysemy web tool interface.The polysemy tool allows you to search for a single term, or automatically generate the mostdissonant terms in a set of domains.Findings from the

Observe the approximate distance between you.Describe your thoughts and feelings as you moved closer and closer to your partner. Ask yourpartner to express what s/he experienced as you approached. Make note of your experience aswell as your partner’s. There are a number of incrementally additive instructions that build uponthis. The exercises conclude with the addition of information sharing and listening. Students aregiven this set of instructions: Place two chairs in a position and at the angle that is reasonablycomfortable for both you and your partner. Some compromise may be necessary.

The existing STEM workforce is aging, with many individuals nearing retirement. Women and minorities are underrepresented in most S&E educational pursuits at a time when they constitute the majority of college students and therefore the majority of the future workforce. The market for STEM-educated U.S. citizens is becoming much more competitive
, and solder onto the PCB using figure 36 as reference. Ensure that the motor leads do not cause any shorts 2 . Note: Figure 36 is mirrored from what is seen looking down on the board and the red wire of the vibration motor should be connected to terminal labeled + and the blue wire to - shown in figure 36. This wiring assumes that the vibration motor will rotate in the clockwise direction with normal polarity (blue lead to ground). The left motor, M2, is connected with normal polarity and the right motor, M1, is reversed. This is why M1’s postive lead is acctually connected to ground.

Examples of such responses are: The trash collected is not an accurate account of an individual[’]s waste. For instance I cook with a lot of fresh meat and vegetables, I had to leave out almost all of my trash (fat from steak trimmings, the base from lettuce heads, lots of egg shells, pineapple...). The only trash I was able to bring in was trash I would of put into the recycling if I didn't have this assignment. Maybe the

MT’s smallsize, some departments only offer courses once a year; if a student falls out of sequence for anyreason, s/he must wait an entire year to make up lost credits.At MT, as at Coleman, fundamental courses were often seen by students as something to getthrough before they could begin to engage in their “real work” as engineering students. The tworequired semesters of physics, an ethics and technical writing class, and an earth science classwere widely described as something to be survived before students could get to the Holy Grail:courses in their majors. Nevertheless, as with Coleman, required courses also introducedstudents to non-engineering majors and faculty. This was particularly the case among studentswho had been considering a
these programs have been far-reaching.Multiple studies have proven that a country’s gross domestic product can be directly tied to thelevel of sophistication of its infrastructure. The IRF, through its education and training activitieshas allowed countries around the world to expand the sophistication of their infrastructures usingstate-of-the-art technologies, and it continues to do so today. While the original focus of theorganization in the 1940’s was to help rebuild Europe after the war, today it is focusing itstechnology transfer efforts on emerging countries in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East andAfrica. These countries want to grow, and they understand that with better roads the citizens willenjoy better lives. The study of roadway

All participants, the teachers, parents and collaborative partners,were tasked to develop an understanding of the importance of working together for a Page 13.441.7common vision of science and mathematics excellence within each learning community.• Objective 1: Participants will define what “critical thinking” is and how it should be implemented in each learning environment.• Objective 2: Participants will understand the importance of working with students to develop a workable, fair and consistent assessment rubric.
