students discussed the fact that their high schools didnot have information technology or computer-based classes in it, they did not know anyone whoworked in the field, and they had never tried programming before. In these cases, the studentsdiscovered the field of computer science by accident, typically by taking a class required for adifferent major. For example: Personally, I came to [university] to be an electrical engineer, because I'm really good at abstraction. I took Intro to Media Computation just for fun, and then I really liked it, but then I thought I couldn't get a job in computer science. I talked to my advisor, and she's like, ‘Yeah, there's actually like a field you can get a job in,’ and it blew my mind

My students haveindicated to me that they appreciate my concern regarding their learning and understanding of thephysics concepts. I feel that because I take the time to provide my students with writtenfeedback, they take the activity very seriously and most turn in rather high quality work.Although not required, I have had several students who take the time to respond to the feedbackthat I have provided them with. Other students ask to resubmit their responses, if their thinkingwas particularly flawed where the physics is concerned.

Having found similar projects, the students then needed to make the case that their project was differentiated from them, say by offering enhancements.

By choosing Fs properly, aliasing places the signal spectrum wherewe want it, yet avoids the overlapping of spectral replicas that would render the signal useless.7, 8A bandpass signal is one where the energy is constrained to lie only between a lower frequency of fL andan upper frequency of fU . Thus the bandwidth of this signal is B = fU − fL . One useful form of

When people think aboutthe medical field, their mind immediately goes to classes such as biology, chemistry, anatomyand physiology. However, when looking at the prerequisite courses for medical school or testedMCAT content, there seems to be one subject that doesn’t fit in with the rest: physics. For years,pre-health students have joked that physics is much less applicable to their future careers than theother courses. The goal of this research paper is to tackle the general student assumption thatunderstanding physics will not help them in their respective fields by providing real

An increase ininformation security events within the academia may lead to federal and state legislative efforts thatwould ultimately add upon the requirements in handling private information within the academic world.Unlike other entities, academic institutions however have to strike a delicate balance between the freecirculation of ideas and the need for protection of personal information. With that in mind we havepursued to investigate two different aspects of the computers security within the academic realm. In thefirst phase, in the next section we are providing a statistical overview of the academic world securityincidents and reaction to them.
