American universities, Academic freedom and tenure are two sides of thesame coin. The current view of tenure was established in 1940 when the American Associationof University Professors (AAUP) and American Association of Colleges (AAC) officiallysanctioned it for purpose of preserving faculty` s right to academic freedom. Legally, it assuresfaculty the right to pursue any line of inquiry in the course of their teaching or researchwithout being censored, penalized or fired by university administrators. In 1973, theCommission on Academic Tenure in Higher Education (jointly sponsored by the AAUP andAAC) recommended that ‘adequate cause in faculty dismissal proceedings should be restrictedto (a) demonstrated incompetence and dishonesty in teaching
to biomedical engineering education. This process includes – • Identifying a major learning objective(s) for the course (ie, what should student be able to do at the end of the course • Define specific learning objectives necessary to achieve the major objective(s) • Identify challenges that target these learning objectives • Use STAR Legacy to organize learning activities (including assessment events) to systematically explore the problem space of a challenge. • Define a sequence of pre-class, in-class and post-class learning activities. This process will result in creating a modular unit that can be shared with others.If portions of the module do not suit the needs
Session 3268 Design Projects for Mechanics Courses Nicholas J. Salamon and Renata S. Engel The Pennsylvania State UniversityAbstractIn teaching undergraduate mechanics, it is important to regularly relate the theory to applicationsin a meaningful manner. We believe mechanical design is the most important and convenientapplication to employ for the following reasons: (1) it closely follows the mechanics theory, (2) itrequires an understanding of the theory, (3) it introduces markets and mechanical technology tostudents, (4) it connects students with information
Session 2002-109section of Introduction to Systems Engineering (a Freshman introductory course).13, 14This course was similar in form to that offered by U. S. Coast Guard’s program. 4 FiveUALR students and one Hendrix student participated in this course. Although the coursemet with limited success, it illustrated many of the pit-falls associated with connecting anintroductory course with FIRST.We assumed that the pre-college students on successful FIRST teams were performingsome useful role in the design process. Therefore, Freshmen engineering students shouldbe able to participate. In reality, most corporate teams assign a large engineering staff toperform the design and allow their pre-college students to “shadow” the engineers. Theyounger

Then the destination and origins of inputsand outputs with respect to the subfunctions are identified to show functional transformationsand relationships. To help students complete the diagrams, students are told that miracles(function boxes with outputs and no input(s)) and black holes (functions with inputs and nooutput(s)) can not occur.

classroom engagement and its effect on student performance.The emergence of Web 2.0 and SNT as a dominant force for communication and interactionamong various groups of people has led to discussion among the academic community regardingwhether or not these technologies are actually effective within the classroom setting. Whileeffectiveness in regards to classroom performance has not been successfully determined and stillexists as a gap in the academic community’s knowledge of Web 2.0’s effect on higher education,there are parallels that exist between using online courses and Web 2.0. Several studies7, 8, 10have been conducted to determine if there are any significant differences between students whohave chosen an online course of study versus a
