This grading method has been used in 11 different courses withover 700 students (see Table 1). Theses courses are mostly delivered using a flipped classroomwhere the lectures are available on video before class, and class time is used for activities andgroup work to deepen understanding.

In this work we present cases that highlight how the CloudComputing framework, including PaaS, IaaS, and web technologies were used to directly supportlearning objectives in five courses.1. IntroductionAccording to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Cloud Computing is,“a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurablecomputing resources.” These resources are designed to be managed quickly and easily withminimal effort by either the provider or by the user. Such an approach to computing is broadly ofinterest, but while the potential application in education is exciting, it does provide some causefor concern. If change is implemented

A laboratory setup is developed to testperformance of the hydraulic system components. Experimental analysis of component behaviorof a functional prototype of the hydraulic system is performed. The analysis result is used to selectcomponents for optimum performance of the system in its desired operational conditions. Themethodology can be utilized in design of similar systems where energy efficiency is a primarydesign objective.1.

We argue that these findings demonstrates that women still needmore support and acceptance than men to choose engineering as a career and they need this inaddition to their own intrinsic interest in the field. Implications of these findings for practice willbe discussed.IntroductionDespite the preponderance of women in bioscience, chemistry and medicine, engineering isstagnant or losing ground in the proportion of women majors.1 According to the NSF, Bachelor’sdegrees awarded by sex and field were flat at approximately 50% women for all of science &engineering from 2002-2012 but

This level of ostracism to non-prototypical members, or guest members, can severely inhibit future contributions by decreasingmember’s sense of belongingness and motivation22. If no superordinate identity can be foundbetween guest members and core members then evidence shows core members are unlikely toaccept the guest members contributions23 thus limiting successful behavioural integration.
