and was great review. - I enjoy the team quizzes. I do like that we get to pick our own groups. I did enjoy doing the team quiz more than taking an actually mid term as it's less stressful and also it can be a little fun depending on who the team members are. It does help a little with the team work as one of us is like the leader and kinda assign each member a task they would like to do. I learn more with the Team Quiz then with a Midterm test. ll i f l h h i i b l l f b ildiOverall, both the quantitative and qualitative results show the following: - Students feel that the team quiz activity helped their learning. - Students found the team-quiz exercise to be less

inworkshops attended by the EAs.During the first two years of the program, more than 300 middle and high school students tookpart in the lesson plans taught by the Engineering Ambassadors. At the end of each lessonpresentation, students were asked to complete a survey (see Table 1 and Appendix B) on thepresentation made by the EAs. The surveys included three parts: 1) questions on the lesson planworkshop with Likert-scale responses; 2) a checklist suggesting ways to make the lesson planworkshop better; and 3) open-ended question to make additional suggestions for enhancing thelesson plan workshop.Table 1.

to boilers’ efficiencies. For this purpose, the objective of this capstoneproject was to investigate improvement in heating performance for copper pipes when usinginternal, straight, longitudinal fins. This will give an indication whether internally finned pipescould increase the heat transfer in boilers.Research Questions and MethodologyThe project problem was basically divided into two parts: (a) unfinned pipe and (b) finned pipe.The project objective was to investigate whether finned pipes can enhance the heat transfermechanism to the water flowing inside the pipe. This enhancement would be based on anincrease in water temperature differences between the pipe outlet and inlet locations. Anotherimportant factor that associates with the

midterm. Similar trends are seen in the final examand final course score. While spatial visualization ability seems to have the largest influence ontest scores and the class performance as a whole, it appears that gender modifies the effect ofspatial visualization, such that male and female students with the same visualization ability maynot have the same experience on exams.a) b)Figure 2.

suggested the possibility of three higher order factors: (a) Logical thinking skills (e.g., develop a statistical model of an engineering process, analyze data with a modeling and simulation software); (b) Communication skills (e.g., effectively communicate and document to wider audience progress through the engineering design process ); and (c) Problem Solving skills (e.g., work well with hands, think practically to find a solution to an engineering problem). As an example of a Likert-scale question about students’ self-efficacy regarding their problem- solving skills, students were asked the following question: I can transform an analytical model into a working code to run on simulation software

science education for elementary education majors. As a former elementary teacher, her research and teaching interests are centered around improv- ing elementary students’ science and engineering learning and increasing teachers’ use of effective STEM instruction in the elementary grades. With the increased emphasis on improved teaching and learning of STEM disciplines in K-12 classrooms, Tank examines how to better support and prepare pre-service and in-service teachers to meet the challenge of integrating STEM disciplines in a manner that supports teach- ing and learning across multiple disciplines. More recently, her research has focused on using literacy to support scientific inquiry, engineering design, and STEM

the quality of education provided by the KPU. Regrettably, KPU was misused as a centre of politics rather than a centre for knowledge at that time. Such colleagues at KPU are still making some resistance to changes in the curriculum.IV. Admittedly, the quality of education provided by the KPU and other Afghan universities is not of the highest standard because of the following reasons: a) The sudden increase in the number of students entering the higher education system in the country. b) Many of the junior academics and lecturers, particularly lecturers in provincial universities, graduated from the national universities with bachelor degrees and do not have
