Important advances include Christopher Dede’sapplication of visualization hardware to general scientific concepts [5] and the teaching ofelectromagnetics in particular with the well-known MaxwellWorld [6]. Other applicationsinclude education of elementary school students in basic zoological concepts at Georgia Tech [7,8], the NICE project for elementary education at the University of Illinois at Chicago [9]-[11],and engineering education research at East Carolina University [12].

It gives a newperspective to the exhibit materials for the purpose of accreditation.Introduction In most of the classroom education, the instructor delivers a brilliant lecture tohis/her satisfaction. However, an effective teacher would like to know how much of theknowledge has been absorbed or learned by the students from the lecture. While learningis proportional to instruction, the essential link between them is assessment. The processof instruction involves continuous decision making by an instructor. The instructordecides what to teach, how to teach, how much to teach, how long to teach, what toreview, what to ask in the test, and how to evaluate the test. These

source, and on-board storage of data (often done using amemory card.) Channel count and sample rates are some important characteristics of dataloggers.The teaching of data acquisition principles in undergraduate engineering is important becausecomputer-based data acquisition and control is ubiquitous in industrial and laboratory contexts.Data measurements are taken to characterize and analyze performance of a device or system;validate analytical models; further understanding of physical phenomena; monitor and controlperformance of manufacturing, automation, or processes; and monitor equipment. Data-acquisition education can be tied to principles of signal processing and electrical engineering,and reinforce graphing skills and presentation.Ray1,2

Thesesimulations have the advantage of being direct (if often simplified and miniaturized) models ofthe systems in question, allowing tactile learning from manipulating the simulation elements, andfostering face-to-face teamwork by the participating students. The idea of implementing suchsimulations in virtual environments seems promising. Theoretically, these implementationsshould be cheap, easy to implement, and universally available

This initial study will focus onVygotsky's sociocultural theory in order to explore how if we open the classroom up to socialinteraction on difficult topics, we can promote internalized individual reflection of socialbehaviors. It is the development of this praxis that has the aim of preventing depression ascaused by loneliness in our increasingly fractionated society.Authenticity in relationships and loneliness play a large factor in depression. The initial scope ofthe study is to identify elements of our curriculum that may be affecting authenticity andcategorizing them to form an assay with regard to types of activity our students are engaged in
