For the example shown above (the sequence of numbers) the patterngeneralization and abstraction step comprises taking the sequence and converting it into arecurrence relation. The formula that abstracts the sequence can be written as S(i) = S(i-1) + 3 *i where i is a positive integer and S(0) = 1.D.

We can use pathways of reflection to delineate combinations of theseelements. In this section, we unpack the elements of this framing (i.e., experience, lens, meaning, Page 24.776.2action, intentional, and dialectical) of reflection and then illustrate the ideas through a

://web.umr.edu/~saygin/AbstractSince 1980’s, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) has dramatically changed the way ofmanufacturing in all industries as well as the way manufacturing courses are taught. Amongmany worldwide CIM programs offered at various universities, some are more applicationoriented, some focus more on the business aspects, and some put more emphasis on theinformation technology behind the CIM concept. Over the last decade, CIM had evolved into anewer concept, namely Computer Integrated Enterprise (CIE), due to the advancements in thearea of information technology and its applications in e-business. Nevertheless, there is still agap between the shop floor and the upper level functions, such as enterprise resource planning.This paper

Wealso discuss and point out the valiant efforts that some are making for the tearing down of thewall of economic isolation and silence that currently divides the “haves” from the “have-nots”.1.

In the case of the Honors Physics class, this involved theapplication of constraint graphs to problems concerning energy, work, and momentum. Theequations I = F × t , p = m × v , W = F × s , and KE = 0.5 × m × v ^ 2 were formed into aconstraint network with which problems were solved. Afterwards, the students were asked toaugment the problem by linking another equation, s = v × t , to solve for distance. Throughoutthe process, we noticed that students seemed to enjoy the graphical representation as it wasextremely novel and somewhat

Most 50-minutelecture periods involve a set of PowerPoint lecture slides that run on average about 15 minutes,and then the instructor solves two or three example problems for the remainder of the period.Additionally, many classes use models and physical demonstrations to aid students in visualizingconcepts. These demonstrations are usually five minutes or less in duration. Students areassigned simple homework problems that are similar to the in-class examples, and theseproblems are turned in by the students at the beginning of the next class period for credit.Quizzes are given weekly to gauge learning and reinforce the most important learning outcomes.Upon grading of the quizzes the instructors note and record the specific mistake(s) made by
