properties with respect to their ability toextract solutes from complex matrices [Hawthorne and Miller, 1987]. The basis for predicting the volubility of a solute in a supercritical fluid solvent is the equivalence of fugacitiesfor the particular solute in each phase: (1)where the superscript s represents the solid phase and f the supercritical fluid phase. If the volubility of thesupercritical fluid in the solid phase is assumed negligible, then the fugacity of the solute in the solid phase, ~is, isequal to the fugacity of the pure solute, ~,s. The fugacity of the pure solute in the solute phase is evaluated using[Modell and Reid, 1983

The compact size of the readers (the size of a text book),affordability of the tags (less than $1 each), and usability of the reader software makes this anideal technology for use in the teaching laboratory. Introducing RFID into the ECET curriculumserves two purposes: it teaches modern tools of the industry, and it gives a practical way to teachimportant radio frequency concepts.How RFID worksThere are four main components in an RFIDsystem: the interrogator or reader, the antenna(s)connected to interrogator, a computer interface,and the tag. (See Figure 1) The interrogator,antenna, and interface will all be part of aninstallation or a handheld system, while the tagwill be attached in

Thus, analysis included working recursively through the data, literature, and examplesto develop operational definitions of each variable.

understanding of empathy has also been pursued in the fields ofengineering and technology for purposes relating to the ability of robotic technologies to imitatehuman abilities [8]–[10]. In our study, we focus on the aspect of empathy research concernedwith the ability of people to consider how their decisions affect others.Service learning (S-L) is a well-studied approach to teaching and learning [11]–[16]. It is one ofseveral pedagogies for engaging students in learning. In this study, by service learning we meana learning environment where students are taking a course for credit, serving a community aspart of the course and reflecting on their experience also as a component of the course [12], [17].S-L has been identified as a helpful pedagogy for

thatacademic preparation is typically not one of the main reasons for attrition 4,5. In other words, moststudents who leave academia choose to leave because of their own personal decision, not becausethey failed qualifying exams or are doing poorly in their courses 5–7. Indeed, Barnes et al.’s 8,9studies of graduate attrition showed that the attributions that professors give for their students thatleave are different than the rationale that the corresponding non-completing students give forleaving. The misalignment, misunderstanding, or attribution bias that may exist (from both parties)is worthy of study and is likely due to the issues that have arisen with sampling a sensitivepopulation.Further, most attrition literature takes a sociological view of

responsibilities for the design challengeInstructional Design Agents RoleWhat is the role of an instructional design agent? The instructional design agent’s role can bedefined as the set of responsibilities and activities that fall within an agent’s intended purpose,which when viewed holistically, demarcate its position or part to play within the designchallenge.In light of this definition, we turn to three points of consideration needed to develop this role:what design intelligence will the agent(s) embody, what specific types of roles will the designagent(s) assume and how many design agents should be employed.We discuss the design intelligence agents embody first, as this has implications for the

It is noted that the engineering students’ performances in MOM in the previousstudy was measured by using the MOM concept inventory [22], a survey consisting of 23conceptual understanding questions, not the final course grades as

This multi-partner project allows us toexpand and strengthen the experience, conduct research on the impact of the program, andconduct research on how such outreach programs might grow in sustainable manners. Our posterwill present a summary of the large-scale data collection that occurred during the summer of2018 at all 16 sites located across the US. We administered a variety of instruments to identifychanges in the children's STEM-related outcomes over the course of the SEEK experience.

thesedistinctions, we can transition students back to traditional representations after their conceptualknowledge is robust enough to guide them. Our themes of perceptually similar concepts,perceptually obscure concepts, and informationally incomplete representations suggest clearavenues for investigating what types of perceptual cues may hinder students’ ability to developor use appropriate conceptual knowledge. As engineers, we can use this knowledge to potentiallydesign new notations or new pedagogical techniques that can help students recognize andovercome the ways our notation may currently be failing to help students learn.References [1] S.

“yes” responsesorH0: p = 0.5 vs. Ha: p < 0.5 when the claim was that there was a majority of “no” responsesIn this case, p represents the overall proportion of “yes” responses when the results for all threesections were combined.In other cases where the response was a 1-5 Likert scale rating, the proportion of selected ratings(often 4’s and 5’s or 1’s) were compared for the three sections. In many instances, thedistribution of ratings for two sections were very similar (typically for the traditional lecture andhybrid sections) so the proportions were pooled and compared to the other section.
