It may include adding extra background information,completely revising the scope of the literature review, and, in general “reposition[ing] theresearch in an international context

. Thepresentation should focus less on note taking strategies and more on ways to transforminformation, with supplemental readings attached. The addition of the “supplement” part of theStudy Cycle appeared to be extremely valuable as students self-reported use of campusresources, peers, TA’s, and professors as a result of this section and could use more time.References1.

, andsupersaturation is possible. However, in the right graph there is no solid region where oneelement could be soluble in the other in the solid state. With no solid solubility, a supersaturatedsolid solution cannot be created. So the underlying reason(s) for difficulty in understanding thefirst explanation could lie in poor chart reading ability, vocabulary, or in the meaning ofsolubility limit or all. The response addresses all issues with the two graphs, but could have beenimproved with better labeling on the diagrams.Fig. 3.

In fact, smartphones have already been leveragedin educational settings to sense parameters of physical systems such as the rotational energy of apendulum by attaching the smartphone to a bicycle wheel and measuring the angular velocitythrough the embedded gyroscope.5 Even as this application of rigidly mounting the smartphoneto the system exploits the embedded sensing capability of these devices

Buildings are highly technical and critical systems that are engineered to performance levelsthat allow buildings to function for 100’s of years.

This tool (seeFigure 1) can be used in an exercise of self-reflection around one’s own beliefs about therelationship between intelligence and smartness.An understanding of how intelligence and smartness are constructed as well as active reflection onour own view(s) of the relationship between these two constructs can help us better understandhow we are active participants in processes that either validate or invalidate students’ abilities, inour own practice as educators. This is of vital importance because of the implications that theexclusionary nature of smartness and intelligence can have for students

As students learned these engineering skills, the engineering design instructor lectured them about the ways in which their newly acquired skills would aid them in designing and creating their search and rescue assistants (S.A.R.A.’s). The students synthesized these skills in the engineering design process and when physically creating their final S.A.R.A.’s in their engineering design class.Figure 3: Updated Conjecture Map with Integrated Engineering Design and Spatial Visualization Figure 3 illustrates the updated conjecture map

At thereceiver side, reverse operations of the transmitter are performed. The RF signal is first down-converted to baseband for processing. Then, the signal is low pass filtered, converted to digitalsignal using an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, and down sampled. The serial stream ofsampled time signal is converted into parallel streams by the serial-to-parallel (S/P) converterand the cyclic prefix is discarded from the received composite signal.
