Tanyel & Adams, On the Aesthetics of Computer Aided Tools for Signal Processing, p. 9 of 10LabVIEW. We have simply given an argument as to why one professor finds working with LabVIEWmore rewarding.Students also appreciate the exposure to LabVIEW. We have noted that almost all the senior designprojects have incorporated LabVIEW in one way or another this year. In fact, one of the seniordesign project teams has combined the strengths of both LabVIEW and MATLAB, using theLabVIEW interface to call MATLAB scripts. As Tanyel notes in [12]: “Part of the enthusiasm isdue to the aesthetics of LabVIEW virtual instruments.

Teamwork, project management, report writing, and oral presentations were the mainparts of this program.Recently, in their research, Smith et al. focused on classroom-based pedagogy of engagement1.The authors recognized the active and collaborative learning as better ways for students to learnby being intensely involved in the educational process. These learning methods can further beimplemented by encouraging the students to apply their knowledge in many situations.

[7] is effective butcumbersome. We propose a singular value decomposition of the stoichiometric matrix as a viablesolution strategy, because of its lean and straightforward implementation. The algorithm startswith identifying the effective number of constraints as the codimension of the nullspace of A(N(A)), which is, as a consequence, mapped by the right singular vectors corresponding to zerosingular values.

Reading assessment quizzes are then administered toindividuals and teams to assess their level of preparedness as well as to identify areas ofconfusion (similar to Readiness Assessment Testing (RAT)). In practice, these quizzes areweighted relatively heavily to further encourage students to actually read and prepare. Followingthe preparation period, a cyclical application period is used to provide in-depth materialcoverage. Individual assignments (homework or projects) are completed by the students outsideof class, while in-class time is divided between lecture and team exercises. The team exercisesare gauged to present increasingly complex ideas and challenging exercises as the moduleprogresses

The teachers enjoyedthe hands-on experimentation, rated the workshop as a great learning experience and invitedseveral of the professors from the U of A for follow-up visits to their classrooms. While thesummer institute gave the teachers eight hands-on experiments for use in their classrooms (notbad for last minute work due to late funding of the project), the teachers did not actually usemany of the experiments in their classrooms because they did not feel comfortable with

Thisallows the teacher to use high quality graphics in the lecture, which is especially helpful whenexplaining the three dimensional problems, and other problems where it is difficult to draw agood picture by hand.Homework, quizzes and exams for the classes are traditional. Students are assigned to workproblems out of the textbook for homework, and work similar problems for quizzes and examsduring class. The goal is to use the distance technology to help the students perform better onthe traditional homework, quizzes and exams. The primary

They also provide a clear statement as to what is considered important and worthlearning (evaluation criteria), even before learning has occurred. The use of rubrics is now embedded inthe education sector student assessment and learning practices (Brookhart & Chen, 2015).Why use rubrics in evaluation? Evaluation has been defined as the systematic determination of thequality, value, or importance of something (Scriven, 1991). Rubrics are powerful tools for assessing theseaspects and help stakeholders draw evaluative conclusions about performance. When evaluation criteriaand rubrics are established at the start of a project and its evaluation, it is clear to
