cases, faculty workingin the incubator become overloaded in their roles and reprioritize their commitments, causing them totemporarily or permanently abandon their SOTL projects. In these situations, we are often tempted topick up where the faculty member(s) left off and continue developing the grant proposal or publication.However, doing so would conflict with one of Meadows’ principles: Go for the good of the whole.Continuing to advance the project in absence of the faculty member(s) takes away from time we couldbe spending to help other faculty members develop, ultimately detracting from our efforts as a whole.Accordingly, we have developed skills in self-reflection to recognize when our interests conflict withthose of faculty, and in self

molecule, or a feedstock formany useful products. Molecular Synthesis of Plant-based Chemicals is a significantly moresustainable means to produce pharmaceuticals, industrial molecules, but there is a need to educateand train young minds in the methods, practices, and processes of MSPC. Clary sage, Salviasclarea, is an MSPC success story and a cautionary tale of the need to be aware of scientific trends.Clary sage oil contains the diterpene sclareol that is used to produce ambroxide that is areplacement for ambergris, an expensive and rare perfume ingredient. Around 120 family farms inNorth Carolina depend on Clary sage production, a success story that can be traced back toattempts to commercialize its production in the 1950’s in Washington state

). Students use knowledge of MATLAB taught in the lectureportion of the course to design a game. Students choose one or more games from a provided listto design or invent their own. Each game carried a point value and students could exceed thepoint requirements for extra credit. Students then conducted two user interviews to determinerequirements for the game and created a team working agreement. Before coding began, studentscreated a flowchart, algorithm, or pseudocode draft. Students then coded their chosen game(s).Additionally, students created a project notebook including a project schedule, business plan,advertisement, and project pitch video. Software documentation was also prepared including auser manual. Students were given multiple class
level of learningin the field of electrical circuits and digital electronics and to develop essential employability skills.By giving students more opportunities to improve their employability skills, they will be betterprepared to enter the competitive work force and to compete with graduates from other prestigiousuniversities.

In the past decade, significantefforts have been directed towards developing standard worldwide 3D parameters, the result ofwhich is a set of standard “S Parameters” in four general categories: amplitude, spatial, hybridand functional. Similar to 2D Parameters discussed earlier in this paper, the 3D parameterscommonly used now are,Amplitude ParametersBased on overall heights, (1) Root Mean Square Deviation, Sq- RMS of height distribution (2) Skewness, Ssk- the degree of asymmetry of a surface height distribution (3) Kurtosis, Sku – the degree of peakedness of a surface height distribution (4) Average Height, Sz – average of ten highest and lowest points.Spatial
peers who completed the step-by-step version (p<0.05, d=0.32). Students who are generally weaker on this material, as judged bytheir eventual overall score in this course, tended to be helped more by the open-ended version ofthe lab than students who are generally stronger on this material. This outcome suggests thathaving to design their own experimental protocol may make students more likely to understandor remember all steps involved in particular data reduction tasks. When possible, instructorsshould avoid giving students unnecessarily detailed instructions.References[1] J. S. Bruner, “The Art of Discovery,” Harvard Educational Review 31 (1961): 21–32[2] W. S.

It was emphasized to look for direct causes only at this point– not solutions and not indirect or root causes (Figure 4). b. 5-Whys: After completing the Ishikawa diagram, each team picked their top three to five causes and used the 5-Whys method to drill down to the potential root cause(s). From the Ishikawa diagram, the team identified three direct causes that could be contributing to the inconsistency in the distance. Using the 5-whys, the root causes were identified (Table 2).
