This system has the capability to access water qualityand quantity data in a real-time from an on-campus stream. The advantages of using a real-timeremote monitoring system over traditional sampling is discussed in10. Furthermore, using real-time monitoring technology is becoming increasingly important for evaluating water quality11.From a broader perspective, using an on-campus creek as
ElectronicsII. The longer semester in China did permit inclusion of some topics from Electronics II in thiscourse specifically feedback, active filters, and frequency response of transistors. Electronics Icovers diodes, OpAmps, transistors, transistor amplifiers, and multiple transistor circuitsincuding amplifiers, current sources, and differential amplifiers.The grading was done using the U.S. instructor‟s method of including homework (15%), twomidterm exams (20% each), a final exam (35%), and the laboratory (10%). In this university, thefinal exam supposed to be at least 60% of the final grade, there is only one midterm, andhomework counts for little. In the U.S., this laboratory is a part of the course and is usuallytaught by the same instructor. In

schools with the goals of exposing students to theSTEM fields [7]. A 40 year history of demographics and student attitudes charted in The Higher EducationResearch Institute snapshot of entering freshman classes shows a rising tide of interest in serviceduring college. In 1990 the survey found that 16.9% of students thought there was a very goodchance s/he would participate in community service or volunteer work. In 2006, this proportion Page 21.5.3grew to 26.8% and in 2011, 33.9% [8, 9]. It is clear that the orientation towards service is beingrapidly embraced by all students. Service may also be a link to attracting more students

After the coding, we summed all the “1”s and “0”s for both groups of participants andconducted a nonparametric two independent samples test between the experimental and controlgroups because a nonparametric test makes minimal assumptions about the underlyingdistribution of the data. 9 The following section presents qualitative results.Diffusion Qualitative Results Based on the 22 verbal explanation questions on diffusion, the overall mean for theexperimental group (17.03) was much larger than that (2.97) of the control
functionality of the differentfourbar classes and inversions. In addition, the design project required the use of fourbars, whichthe students designed and modeled in SolidWorks®. The students assembled critical functionprototypes of their fourbar designs as part of a lab exercise, and then manufactured fourbars on awaterjet cutter for their competition robots. Lastly, two of 28 Excel® problems were related tofourbars: one in which the students analyzed S + L ? P + Q to determine the Grashof condition,and one that applied Excel®’s Solver function to solve for the output angle if the input angle andlink lengths are known.In the old ME 1000, students saw fourbars in one lecture (including synthesis examples), wererequired to use fourbars in the design
-campus labs. The frequency of the voltage can becontrolled with the help of frequency control. This control is analogous using the field control onthe DC motor to vary rotor speed in the on-campus lab. Synchronous indicator and breakercontrols can also be seen in Figure 1. The synchronous indicator produces the output of thebright and dim lamp method used in the on-campus lab for synchronization. The breaker controlsallow the off-campus students to close the breakers when the synchronous indicator generatesstable 0’s on all three of the indicators. This is analogous to closing the breakers when all thelights go dark in the on-campus lab.All the on-campus experiments need voltmeters and ammeters to measure RMS voltage andcurrents in all the three
. Multipleresponses are listed as (x 2), which means that this response was given by multiplestudents. Examination of these comments suggests that most students enjoyed the hands-on activities, agree that they are a good use of class time, and feel they add to theireducational experience. They also believe timing could be better and that perhaps someactivities could be replaced. There was no agreement on which one(s) should be replaced.Results from exam scores for the two years of this project (2003 and 2004) are presentedwith the two prior years (2001 and 2002) in appendix 3. All scores are normalized to 0 –100 scale. Comparison shows no statistically significant difference between scores on theindividual tests.As the course instructor, I observed several

who participate in service-learning during their undergraduate careers makenotable social and academic gains6. Specifically, community involvement has been associatedwith enhancing students’ appreciation of the people and organizations with whom theyworked7,8, feelings of social responsibility9,10, and development of factual knowledge related totheir field(s)11. Students who enroll in service-learning courses are characterized as beingintrinsically motivated to assist others and having a desire to seek personal growth and self-actualization12. Collectively, empirical evidence suggests that service-learning promotesstudents’ awareness of the broad issues that face society. Service-learning is believed to promote academic and personal

You can plot allvelocity values versus time, but it is more instructive to plot them versus distance, with time as aparameter. (This isn’t required, though.) Naturally, you need to verify that your right-hand sideis correct. Since this is a linear problem, this is one case where you could compare yournumerical solution to the analytical one, Eq.

defined the direction and scope ofsubsequent education policy and research in terms of gender equity. In 1964, Congress passedthe Civil Rights Act, which, among other things, prohibited racial discrimination in education.As a part of this Act, Congress also commissioned a national study to determine the extent ofracial inequality in terms of access to educational opportunity. With the passage of Title IX, in1972, discrimination on the basis of sex in educational institutions and programs was alsoprohibited, but, unlike the 1964 Civil Rights Act, no research to examine sex discrimination wasincluded in the legislation. In the early 1980’s, national concern about the growing shortage ofscientists and engineers gave rise to policy initiatives

The central construct of this formula is an understanding of the various factors thatcan positively
of the freshmanprograms, a summary of changes accomplished, and the retention statistics for the College ofEngineering.IntroductionIn 1988, at The Ohio State University the retention of engineering students to the junior yearranged between 40 and 50 percent. See Figure 1. This followed the national norms. In the early1990’s the Ohio State College of Engineering became part of the NSF funded GatewayEngineering Education Coalition. The other members of the Coalition were Drexel University,Columbia University, Cooper Union, New Jersey Institute of Technology, University ofPennsylvania, University of South Carolina, and Florida International University.

The student is encouraged to “think aloud” on the board..· The student first tries to answer the question alone. Modest hints may be given by the instructor, and limited dialogue between the student and instructor may take place.· If the student is stumped s/he can “ask the audience”, whereby the audience votes but does not comment on which answer they prefer. The votes are recorded by the instructor on the blackboard. The student is then asked to provide their “FINAL ANSWER.”· If the student did not “ask the audience”, then a poll is taken after the student has submitted their answer, to gage the class’ response
