The projectwill focus on educating students about the function of the data center in their everyday lives andthe energy consumption issues that are central to the design of next-generation data centers.Throughout this learning process students will be asked to research and develop new andinnovative ways of addressing the issue. Student teams will present their responses to theessential question in progressively more detailed methods to garner feedback for reflection,revision, and further study. The culminating submission will be a video documentary developed,filmed, and edited by the team. These presentations will be included in a grade-wide live andonline showcase of

. Engineering Camp is institutionally supported and instructedprimarily by faculty from the College of Engineering at Bucknell.This program provides the opportunity to deliver more than an expanded and enhanced versionof the typical one-day outreach program; it affords more time for student-instructor interactionand gives students time to reflect on their on-campus experiences and what they have learned.Currently, few high school programs are properly equipped to conduct educational laboratoriesthat introduce students to topics in engineering and technology. Because Engineering Camp is adynamic program with annual topical changes, students can (and are expected to) repeat theexperience. Also, because the topical sessions are targeted to the audience

rated thediscussion as shown in Table 2. Both sets of feedback reflect positively on the session.One of the results of this panel discussion was to point out that while the cultural perception ofthe different fields are often quite diverse in practice there are similarities to build upon. Theparticipants discussed related concepts such as determining the need for new projects to benefithumanity versus developing the design of such projects. While clearly related, the differencesbetween the knowledge, skill sets, and problem solving approaches of the two sides pointed outthat serious communication issues can develop. It is possible that while working toward thesame goal, the different paradigms of the two sides could lead them to

around the question: Do students’ perceptions of theflipped classroom reflect coherence in the course?Theoretical BackgroundFlipped Classroom: Though implementation of the flipped classroom varies from instructorto instructor, the model moves lecture content to be work done at home as preparation forclass while class time is used for problem solving. Typically, instructors accomplish the“flip” by using instructional technology to deliver lectures or learning modules out-of-classthrough lecture capture videos, online quizzes, educational videos (i.e. TED talks), and otheronline resources. Instructional difficulties may arise from this model: a failure to addressstudent misconceptions, poorly designed activities that require only recall

There are many reasons why the United States’ largest racial minority group (i.e.,Hispanics) is significantly underrepresented in postgraduate education; however limited racialand cultural support may influence this incongruence15. This potential contributor is reflected byminority student experiences at Predominately White Institutions (PWIs) where minoritystudents are often confronted with limited cultural diversity and racial minority presence2. Thelack of representation at the faculty level, for Hispanics in particular, may be due to the numberof students aspiring to earn graduate degrees.

havebeen lumped together as the dependent variable. This probably has resulted in a predictiveefficacy of the model which is not very high. This factor should be taken into account forfuture studies.Cooling degree days were also assumed to have a direct relationship with energyconsumption in this study. But surprisingly, the results of the study did not indicate anysuch correlation. One of the reasons maybe the lack of discrimination between weather-related and base energy consumption. The presence of LOCATION as an independentvariable may also have affected the outcome; cooling degree days for the different climaticzones may not have quantitatively reflected the zone locations. This factor is also requiredto be investigated in future research

Theseinfluences may include: academic isolation, social isolation, cultural isolation, negativestereotypes associated with ethnic identity, motivational vulnerability, financial insecurity, anddiscrimination [1, 2, 3, 4]. The academic, social and cultural isolation experienced by URMstudents reflects ineffective transition.
