During this time his primary teaching and course develop- ment responsibilities were wide-ranging, but included running the Unit Operations laboratory, introducing Aspen Plus software to the curriculum, and developing a course for a new M.S. program on Renewable Energy (EUREC). In conjunction with his teaching appointment, he supervised dozens of internships (a part of the curriculum at the Hanze), and a number of undergraduate research projects with the Energy Knowledge Center (EKC) as well as a master’s thesis. In 2016, Dr. Barankin returned to the US to teach at the Colorado School of Mines. His primary teaching and course

This belief is supported by Dauer and StGermain’s (2006) assertion that traditionalapproaches to radiological training may not be enough to facilitate deep learning. Theywarn that adherence to traditional educational approaches may result in workers withknowledge and skills deficits. They encourage the exploration and evaluation ofalternative learning philosophies that use such learning strategies as: inductivediscussion, self assessments, case studies, demonstrations, projects, prompting andcoaching, interactive lectures, and guided reflection.

though the objects discussed in the course (e.g. gear or linkage Mechanisms) are very concrete. Especially the symbolic representation of mechanisms is meaningless to most students if they cannot establish the mapping relation between abstract symbols and realistic mechanisms in mind.(2) There is no close relation between the individual course contents. It is not necessary, for example, the chapter “Cam Mechanisms” and “Gear Mechanisms” in a given order to teach. As a result, the students are not capable of integrating the diverse knowledge from the course to solve practical kinematic problems later by their project or capstone design.(3) Only by the chapter “Cam Mechanisms”, the students can acquire design ability

Daniel was proactive in starting and joining study groups: Because most of them were engineers, we just started studying together. So, I just met people in my dorm that were like exceptionally good in certain subjects. One guy literally sat down for two hours to teach me a concept that like I was really struggling with. So having a friend group to fall back on if I don’t understand something has been big for me.When study participants entered “in their major,” they reported
