Context reflects thegeneral scope of the relationship, including both its focus and the dynamic between mentor andmentor. Formation represents the way in which the relationship was initiated, and in someinstances how it was maintained. Finally, tone reflects the general attitude of the mentor thatformed the basis of the student

Examination revealed that students having more difficulty (and getting more wronganswers) played the game much longer than those doing well. Moreover, the average percentagecorrect tended to stagnate or even decrease as students moved from the easier levels into harderlevels, which does not reflect the improvement we would like to see as they gain experience (seeFig. 5). If the students were truly mastering the ideas, we would hope to see a reduction inwrong answers as students gain experience and go the higher levels, or at least fewer overall.(The laboratory trial did show very substantial learning gains from doing

academic challenges. These programs have significantly reduced the time studentsspend in remedial English and mathematics courses and have increased the first-year retentionrates. Nevertheless, these first-year improvements do not often reflect on the overall retentionand graduation rates. In fact, contrary to what might be assumed, strong first-year supportprograms, which have received the bulk of the attention in the literature, can degrade sophomoreperformance for a variety of reasons1,2. These observations have led to the suggestion thatsophomore-specific programs are necessary to support rising students3. In many cases, thevanishing effect of first-year programs on later years has been attributed to the fact that studentstransition from a

The major components of the solar furnace are a heliostat, louvers, concentrator,reactor table, and associated controls and instrumentation. The heliostat, which holds 36 m2 ofsolar mirrors, is located in front of the main building. It rotates on two axes to track the sun,reflecting sunlight into the building which houses the remaining furnace components. Note thatthe glass door, shown extended in Fig. 1, is lifted out of the path of the reflected beam duringfurnace operation.

Brown40 noted the infrequency of visualizationsintegrated into classroom instruction. He attributed this infrequency to the lack of sufficientteaching tools. Without exposure to them, students could not experience the benefits of usefulCSA tools.

While many traditionalteaching methods entail a punitive aspect, often without providing the student with any feedbackin the form of corrections, game-based learning provides instantaneous feedback so that studentscan persist until they achieve the correct answer, learning and improving from each failure2.Since games allow students to repeatedly try without repercussions, they encourage reflection onwhat mistakes were made and how to avoid these issues in the next attempt at the problem14.This reflection allows the students to make their own connections between previous and currentclassroom content, and how to best apply it.

One of the many examples ofexperience-based learning is that of education abroad programs. According to Kolb’sexperiential learning theory, experiential learning is "the process whereby knowledge is createdthrough the transformation of experience16.” There are four steps in the learning cycle: 1)Concrete Experience 2) Reflective Observation 3) Abstract Conceptualization 4) ActiveExperimentation.

A long coaxial cable was utilized to allow the voltage ringing,which is due to the low oscilloscope bandwidth, to die out and reach steady state in betweenroundtrips of a transient. Figure 2a shows the oscilloscope capture of a transient on an open-circuit load ( RL   ). An input voltage divider is apparent (2.5V transient launched on thecable), and the cable is shown to have a roundtrip delay of approximately 200ns, after which thereflected wave reaches the source and changes the input conditions.

Felder and Silverman4 argue that though students allhave different learning styles, and a small number of techniques can meet the needs of moststudents. They recommend using material that emphasizes practical problem solving andfundamental understanding. They also discuss the importance of reflective learning (along withactive learning).

choices; so when we see students whoare not motivated to learn, a reasonable first hypothesis is that their task value motivation is low.This is a hypothesis shared by much of the engineering community. A very commonpresumption regarding students’ low learning motivation is that they simply don’t know thatengineers have use for writing skills, that “real” engineers write; and if only they did, surely theywould apply themselves in their writing classes. We can see some fleeting evidence of this kindof unmotivated student in qualitative data. For example, in case studies and interviewsengineering students have reported that they don’t see writing as important 1, or they viewwriting as incidental to the real work of engineering, reflecting cultural
