My undergraduate engineering experience enhanced my sense of logic and persistence to solve the seemingly unsolvable. My entrepreneurial instincts led me to engineer medicine and become an inside navigator of the healthcare system so that I can eventually affect change and promote progress with my unique perspectives as a practicing physician. Lastly, my compassion for just patient care and desire to find root cause, sustainable fixes versus a reliance on ”band aid” pills has led me to the primary care side of medicine and innovation

Students’ Views of New Teaching Techniques Change Over TimeAbstractMany new faculty are eager to try new teaching techniques in their classrooms, but students areoften resistant to change and convince new faculty to abandon their ideas for a more traditionalstyle that students are more familiar with. This study looks at the change in attitude of studentstowards a flipped classroom format and the concept of assessment corrections during thesemester. A subset of the students voluntarily completed an anonymous survey approximatelyfive weeks into the course and again at the end of the course.Students were enrolled in a junior-level dynamics course.

Calculus Without Limits – Abstract – Work in progress Andrew Grossfield, PhD., PE Vaughn CollegeIn our society the currently prevailing view is that calculus is extremely difficult and it takes themind of a super genius to comprehend any idea what it is about. This societal attitude must bechanged. The concepts of calculus are simple.This view of calculus prevails only because the way calculus is introduced in classrooms andtextbooks makes it appear incomprehensible and hard to learn. Calculations, which beforecomputers were difficult to do by hand quickly and precisely, can now be done with calculatorsand computers. The teaching of calculus is a

Video Self-Explanations of Emergent Electromagnetic Concepts Brianna Derr and R. Alan Cheville Bucknell UniversityThis paper discusses the use of student-produced videos to self-explain concepts in the requisitejunior electromagnetics class. It is well documented that students have more difficultydeveloping and understanding emergent schemas in comparison to direct-causal schemas orconcepts. One way to help students understand such difficult concepts is to elicit self-explanations (c.f. Chi et. al. Cogn. Sci., 18, p. 439, 1994). To support self-explanation studentswere required to produce two to three videos that explained a basic concept in electromagnetics.For each

The RFI process can occur multiple times on any given projectand for many different reasons. These requests have the potential to hinder construction and,therefore, need to be resolved promptly in order to minimize the impact they could have onthe flow of production. One option of expediting the RFI process time would be to create asubmission process that incorporates the use of instant technology through the internet, suchas the implementation of an RFI discussion forum. Having this avenue of immediatecommunication could have many benefits including increased project transparency
