was not the goal of the group work in this class.ResultsIn Fall of 2011, the new course design was taught for the first time. Section A was taught withthe partially-flipped design while sections B and C were taught in the traditional lecture format.Students met Mondays and Wednesdays for 50 minutes in section A and for 50 minutesMondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for sections B and C. Students received a daily schedule onthe first day so they knew when each assignment was due.Section A students were required to watch a video lecture before each class meeting. A short on-line quiz (through Blackboard) after each video lesson tested student understanding of theconcepts covered in the lesson. During this pilot, the two videos were made available

Faculty Development WorkshopAbstract: A central mission in the educational research community is to improve learning. Thepurpose of this project was to identify key factors that mediate in learning in the context of a fac-ulty development workshop focused on assessment. Data were collected by a six personresearch-participant team using multiple approaches: direct observations, pre-workshop surveys;semi-structured interviews; a post-workshop prioritization survey; and a workshop e-journal.Analysis and triangulation of data revealed the five most significant factors impacting learning:(a) put the learners in the role of performer and provide assessment that helps the learners im-prove their performance, (b) concept attainment (especially

The accuracy of the borings critically affects the design recommendations for his report. The report is due in six days.”Students were given a minute to read the story and then were presented with followingoptions about what Florin should do: a) Boring logs from nearby sites are probably okay to use since soil conditions in the area do not vary significantly. b) Florin should call the geologist and get proof that the existing data came from borings at the site. If proof is unavailable, the boring crew should be fired. c) Florin should tell the client his concerns and

The design shown in Figure 1 shows a comparison between (a) the existing fourbar version and (b) the offset, polymeric version designed.

Absent other design criteria, this assumption willnormally allow for close to optimal output amplitude. Therefore:VRD = VDD - 0.5 * VDD = 0.5 * VDDso b) RD = 0.5 * VDD / IDqThe transconductance of a MOSFET can be found by taking the derivative of the transferfunction for

inputbus and an 8-bit output bus. Input was assumed to be twelve 8-bit values comprising a matrix,A, and the computed output are the nine values comprising a matrix B where B=ATA . Whilethis seems fairly simple computationally, students were given performance specifications thatincluded an initiation rate of 15 clock cycles and a latency of 23 clock cycles. This means thatevery 15 clock cycles, a new set of matrix A values is present and that after 23 clock cycles fromthe beginning of the input matrix A values, the output values must be produced. Clearly, there isnot enough time to load all twelve input values, then perform the computation, followed byoutputting the resultant nine values; thus students must use overlapped computation.Furthermore a

(b) As the object rolls tothe left, the net force becomes unbalanced and tilts to the right. (c) The net force can be split intonormal and rolling resistance components. Although rolling resistance is not strictly a friction force, it behaves like friction from ananalysis standpoint: ● The force of rolling resistance (frr) is drawn on the FBD opposing the direction of motion of the vehicle at the surface (similar to how fk is drawn for a crate sliding on a surface). ● It is calculated by multiplying the normal force (N) by the coefficient of rolling resistance (μrr): frr = μrrN ● The coefficient of rolling
