Their high pacedupbringing, shuttled from one activity to the next, and packed with instant feedback web access requires acompensatory education. It was decided that the Motorsports program needed to provide continuousfeedback in concert with classroom lectures. In order to fully develop the program, UNC at Charlotte hasinvested not only in supporting a large collection of race teams but has also supplemented them with acomplete race shop

both Masters ofScience and PhD students.Lastly, we separate out programs as being student-focused or teacher-focused. Oneargument for the importance of running student focused programs is to providemore opportunities for the individual students. However, sustainability of conductingoutreach programs is a significant challenge when this work is performed on top ofother duties, that receive more weight for promotion -- for example, ‘scholarlyscientific research’, which I’ll address later, and contributing to the department’score teaching mission (BS, MS/PhD).On the other hand, the teacher-focused program listed here, CalTeach, is a programthat invites K12 teachers to spend their summer working in a laboratory to learnabout new scientific

He was the first Ph.D. graduate from USC Information Science Institute in 1975, where some of the initial work on Arpanet was done. His research specialty at the time was in Knowledge Representation. In 1984, he left USC for almost 20 years to be an entrepreneur. Most of his work was in manufacturing, both in Detroit and Japan. During that time, he worked on programming real-time systems using an Agent methodology, which he now teach in his CSCI 201 class. He returned to USC in 2002 to teach full time.

Likewise, the learning materials and activities that an instructormight generally utilize with success, such as projected presentation materials, handouts of lecturenotes, hands-on demonstrations or laboratory experiments, and assigned readings of textbookchapters, can be less meaningful for students who exhibit a monomodal preference for Auditorylearning.When faced with an increased proportion of students who exhibit a preference for Auditorylearning, instructors may find increased success in their teaching by ensuring that main conceptsfrom the course are specifically described verbally in detail
