By theirvery nature, elementary students are observant and curious about the world around them andwant to know how everything works and fits together — a perfect match for engineering.Malinda refined her prior experiences with teaching and writing to create curricular units onmotion (mechanical engineering), energy and environmental engineering. Each unit adhered tostate and national science and math standards, and included hands-on student activities. Meetingthe educational content standards, and providing clear curricular documentation was important ifteachers were going to find her engineering lessons useful enough to implement in future classes.Students were immersed in intriguing

. Results suggest that these approaches are successful, resulting in higherretention and higher grade point averages. The attractiveness of this approach with regards tomaterials engineering has been noted in a report from the National Science Foundation,9 whichconcludes that "the attractiveness of chemistry and physics…could be enhanced by greateremphasis on materials-related topics which would help students better relate their studies to the'real world'."With this in mind, we have developed a new course, titled Materials Chemistry. The goal of thiscourse is to provide engineering applications of basic chemistry concepts at the freshman level.This paper describes the role of this course within the engineering curriculum at the Universityof Florida

My parents thought I’d chosen engineering because I’d always been a bit of a tomboy.

starts before expanding outward to methods and theories, and theirapplications in engineering disciplines.PerspectiveLearning does not take place when the student is exposed to new information by reading notesand books or listening to lectures. Rather, learning takes place when the student internalizes thatinformation—when the mind constructs meaning from the information and retains it byassociating it with existing knowledge.Even during the process of learning it is all too common for students to construct inaccurateand/or incomplete meaning from the information presented to them. Therefore, for meaningfullearning to take place, it is important that misconceptions and inaccuracies are identified andremedied while the student is actively engaged
Engineering EducationThe first week activity also must be completed within 60-90 minutes, and not require extensiveknowledge of materials engineering concepts. Setting the correct mind frame to the course wasaccomplished by introducing some of the concepts of materials that would be encountered laterin the lab (and lectures). This activity serves as a positive prologue to materials engineering, andthe objectives are listed in Table 1.Laboratory ActivitySimilar to visiting foreign countries, the venture (or introduction) into the Materials Worldnecessitates exploration and documentation with a travelogue that includes pictures.

The engineeringgoals of this project are: • to explore bioseparation techniques • to expose students to bioprocess design principles • to study the performance of bioseparation processes using engineering principles • to evaluate factors influencing the performance of bioseparation processesTo date, work has focused on two chromatographic separation techniques. Learning modules onthese two techniques will be presented.IntroductionAdvances in biology

In this work-in-progress paper, we describe our ongoing work studying theimpacts of a large set of NCA factors on student performance and student thriving. Our past workshowed that most students can be grouped into one of four clusters, with each cluster having asimilar NCA profile or set of factor scores. These cluster assignments have a strong and lastinginfluence on student performance as measured by the grade point average (GPA). This studybuilds on the previous work through a longitudinal study of a subset of this sample and finds thatfive NCA factors change
