during the semester1. Setup: Identify the (1) assumed sample distribution, (2) the exact type of test being run, (3) the number of the ‘tails’ of that test, (4) the formula for your test statistic, (5) the statistical distribution we assume that the test statistic follows, and (6) the null and alternative hypothesis. Calculation: Calculate (1) the test statistic(s), (2) the p value(s), and (3) the effect size(s) or power(s) as appropriate. Interpretation: (1) state the formal result of your test using your hypotheses. (2) explain the result of your test in terms of what it means in the question context – and reference either the effect size or the power as appropriate. Figure 3 Example problem framing for a
Theysuggested alternative, non-linear models whose chief merit would be the opportunity to regaincontrol over assigning meaning and value to one’s career, on one’s own terms, not theorganization’s.21 The question emerges, then, of what career socialization looks like given theincreased personal agency advocated by Buzzanell and Goldzwig in the face of the broadchanges identified by Sullivan and others.16One avenue for answering this question is to explore the discourses surrounding mentoring. Inher review of the literature, Jacobi defined mentoring as a personal, reciprocal relationshipbetween a protégé and someone of greater experience or accomplishment who helps the protégétoward some achievement(s) by providing psychological/emotional support

As Alan Wolf, member of the NRC-Committee on ComparativeInnovation Policy points out, China’s drive toward innovation has been an unmistakable messageof its top leaders for several years: “In today’s world, the core of each country’s competitive strength is intellectual innovation, technological innovation and high-tech industrialization.” [Jiang Zemin] “[We should give] priority to independent innovation in S&T [Science and Technology] work, take efforts to enhance S&T innovation capability, increase core competitiveness and [strive to make] S&T innovation with Chinese characteristics a reality … …We must aim to be at the forefront

A signed copy of this document is submitted to the teaching staff as a reference forthe duration of the program. (iii) Research Background Presentation. Two weeks after teams are formed and students haveample time to meet with their mentors to discuss the background and project details, they providea 5 minute presentation to the class. This presentation provides background information on theresearch project, details for what they intend to accomplish during the semester, and a briefoverview of their research plan.

Opposition to the observatories has existed since the 1960’s when thegovernor and legislature, enthusiastic about development, set aside land for construction.Protests, demonstrations and litigation challenging previous and proposed construction of newtelescopes in Hawai‘i have focused on environmental protection and the sites selected as beingsacred to natives. For example, controversy over choosing Maunakea for the site location of anew Thirty Meter Telescope emphasizes that this is considered the most sacred mountain of theNative Hawai‘ian religion and culture.

breadboards are not acceptable for the final device, so they must have adesigned PCB or solder board instead of it. For some of the parts they can make use ofcomponents with breakout boards. The students are also required to design a solution fulfillingfive of the following constraints: utilize a communication protocol, operate with the use ofbatteries, use wireless communication, teleoperation (wired connection possible), integrate arelative or absolute positioning system, interact with the other team(s) devices, use more thanone microcontroller, self-charging, include text display or multiple copies of function blocks.Students use TM4C123G LaunchPad Tiva board as its primary microcontroller which has aCortex M4-ARM 32-bit microprocessor (80- 120

coverage of these important broader considerations, andthus to provide opportunities for broader ways of thinking in engineering education. Commonapproaches to teaching engineering design incorporate some of these ways through project-basedlearning, which finds instantiation in senior capstone design projects [6, 7], first-year cornerstonedesign projects [7], and service learning [7, 8]. Closely related, the Aalborg problem-based learning(PBL) model also focuses on contextualizing learning and problem-solving [9]. Litzinger et al.’s[10] discussion of expertise and engineering education emphasizes the importance of the “context-rich, multifaceted problems” commonly embedded in all of these approaches.Empirical research on engineering design
response tothose changes. In the presence of ever increasing competition and intense business pressures,corporations discovered that a crucial factor to remaining competitive and to having productsthat are successful in the market place was to substantially improve their PD practices andprocesses. Something became obvious: companies win or lose, lead or follow, succeed or failbased on the competitive strength of their new product development process. In the early 1980’s most companies employed a functional organization to support alltheir product development endeavors. Under that framework, a strong emphasis was placed onthe technical competence of an individual in his/her particular area of expertise. In the specificcase of a product

The last group, freelancers, is a composite of part-unknowners, part-mooners, and homeworkers.Demographics of Part-time FacultyThe National Center for Education Statistics, U. S.

Data collected from more than26,100 faculty and instructional staff with regard to the population of

the co-created design and thedesigners’ implicit mental models.13,14,15,16,17,18 In the design communities of practice, mentalmodel(s) lead to mathematical, narrative, and graphical model(s), which lead to the final product– the design and its physical embodiment. In 2005, the Design Council19 conducted a large-scalestudy of the design process in eleven different companies and created a general description of theprocess. Furthermore, the design process was demonstrated by IDEO, a design and innovationconsulting firm, for the ABC news show Nightline in a story that aired on July 13, 1999. Thedesign process shown in the IDEO story, called The Deep Dive20, represents best practices indesign and is used to elicit participants’ mental models

level accreditation isachieved by convincing ABET (represented in an on-site visit by a trained volunteer program evaluatorwith follow-on review) that the degree program has documented their compliance with the criteria andthey have implemented effective processes to maintain the quality of their program.Stepping back from the history and processes of ABET specifically, as discussed previously the shift tothe current, evaluation-based criteria stemmed from the wide adoption of Continual Quality Management(CQM) principles in American businesses in the decades of and adjacent to the 1980’s. CQM is alsoknown as Continual Quality Improvement (CQI) or Total Quality Management (TQM) and instantiatedthrough frameworks such as ISO 9001 [12], Six Sigma
