After a presentation and facilitated discussion, the eleven summer REU students were askedto “write a paragraph about how you are uniquely well-suited for success in materials science. Itcan be about your skills, interest, experience, perspective, values, or anything else.” Individualinterviews followed the subsequent week, between the developmental, research preparation andconceptualization period and the latter half of the summer, focused on execution.

Students picked one past class that they particularly enjoyed and interviewed the facultymember to ask about how they prepared for the class and about their strategies for supportingstudents’ learning.

The students have likelyalready been discussing their design projects extensively and may be submitting relativelysimilar designs, so peer review may not generate much of a surprise. A competitor designprepared by the instructor or a teaching assistant can incorporate differences from the students’design that are intended to surprise the students. The next sections describe the assignment, thecompetitor’s design, and the common questions generated by the competitor’s design.Adding Oral Communication to a

Students preferred to meet once a week for the entire year because they missed the interaction in spring and felt there wasn’t enough content to sustain meeting twice a week. 3. When asked about cohorting the course with math and assigning peer mentors to each section, students were indifferent. They made it very clear that study sessions and other out of class events should be completely optional. (It is interesting to note that many of the students participating in the focus

Faculty are not only expected to teachand conduct research but also to write proposals, consult, network, engage in administrative duties, andthe list continues. The relative importance and time allocated to these different functions vary accordingto the nature and focus of the institution and the interests of the faculty. However, engineering graduatestudents aspiring to careers in academe are not usually trained in the multiple facets of the profession. Asa result, when they become faculty members they often struggle to find ways to balance the parallel andmany times competing demands of these functions.This paper examines the professional development plans of six engineering

The BSTAM software can do this by writing the same constraint twice, first goal forpenalizing below the target and a second goal for penalizing above the target. These twoformulations are essentially similar since penalizing team levels above or below a target valuewill tend to bring the teams close to the average or target value essentially accomplishing thesame objective.Current techniques for solving binary variables and a quadratic objective function create difficultproblems in optimization, as pointed out in the literature (Bhadury et al., 2000)5.
