You can benefit from extra points, and next semester’s class will benefit from better handouts. Page 15.372.7One third of the students participated in the extra credit assignment, and most of thesesubmissions were thoughtful, detailed, and thorough. Some students submitted recommendationsin sentence form. Here are some examples: The only change I would make is on page 5 under valve actuation: separate the mechanical vs. pilot vs. solenoid better. They run together and look like they are of the same group. It would be easier
-successful). The measure of satisfactory performance in eachcategory was the percentage of students scoring “1.” A benchmark of 70% was used to gage theoverall level of success. If 70% of the students were successful, then the presentations wereconsidered successful. Results from this rubric gave the instructor and students feedback, and theresults also provided a basis for monitoring improvements that occurred during the second halfof the semester.Table 5.

Students taking design and 3Dmodeling will also be introduced to program features allowing them to create, edit, analyze andplot 3D models.Manual Machining: Manual machining is referenced as learning the operation of conventionalmachine tools. This technology has not been changed since the 1950’s. Students learn basicskills and machining techniques required to operate the following machines; horizontal andvertical mills, engine lathe, drill press, surface and pedestal grinders. Students’ skills areenhanced through hands-on machine tool practices including precision measurements, blueprintreading and the

. Page 19.2.33.1 Detailed Schemes in the Research There are different and more numerous types of questions and answers betweenlearners and teaching staff in the distance learning environment. Fig.1 shows anexample of questions and answers (denoted Q/As) from learners (denoted S1 to S4) andteaching staff (denoted T), respectively. For instance, there may be a volley of answersfor Q3 if it is assumed to be of the highest priority at a certain time during the process oflectures/seminars. It is more effective to timely enhance dynamics between learners andteaching staff by making the usage of shared space mobile Q/A integration. It is alsopossible for any S to get an answer for each question uploaded if it can be found andmatched in the knowledge

This is performed by comparing the shape andmagnitude(s) of the diagram constructed by the learner, in each segment, with the correct ones.Incorrectly constructed segments of a diagram are highlighted, allowing the learner to requestcorrective feedback (see Figure 4).

Designers, Engineers, and Marketers are engaged in theact of persuasion. Ultimately, their hard work must persuade a consumer to purchase or use theproduct that they developed. During the process, each partner in the team is trying to persuadehis or her superiors and/or peers that their solution is the correct one.The three overarching components of Rhetoric (Kairos, Audience, and Decorum) clearly apply tothe product development process.

. Planned and managed changes 3. Unplanned revolutionary changesProbably the most famous step model of change is Rogers’ (2003) Diffusion of Innovation thatdescribes diffusion as the process by which (a) an innovation (b) is communicated throughcertain channels (c) over time (d) among the members of a social system. Rogers conceptualizesfive steps in this process: 1) knowledge, 2) persuasion, 3) decision, 4) implementation, and 5)confirmation. Rogers is famous for the S-curve relationship between time and the number ofadopters. Rogers writes that “The dominant viewpoint is that social change is caused by bothinvention (the process by which a new idea is discovered or created) and diffusion, which usuallyoccur sequentially.”Clearly, defining or

A DEVELOPMENT OF WIRELESS CLASSROOM FRAMEWORK FOR CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY COURSES Chul S. Kim, Laura Lucas Indiana University-Purdue University, IndianapolisIntroduction Many courses in the Construction Technology (CNT) Program in Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) are taught in traditional classrooms that are notequipped with computers. This is partially due to the lack of funding to provide enoughcomputer facilities; however, it is more because computers are not currently deemed integral inthe teaching and learning in these courses.
