implementation is easier to implement because there is noadditional cabling required beyond power to the access points, but the distribution system mustbe configured manually by the administrator.In order to replicate similar course modules, the instructor(s) must obtain the proper hardwareand make it available for student use. Access points must support some kind of similar meshprotocol, as well as wireless distribution system protocols that can work in conjunction with802.11 standards. Ideally, wireless access points utilized for this course module should supporttwo separate radios. One radio should support 802.11a while the other supports 802.11b/gstandards. In this manner, the distribution system can be separated from the client-accessdomain. A

The unintended results of focusing the summer Page 14.993.15workshops on models as part of scientific inquiry were teachers’ uncertainty of thesource(s) of the inquiry questions and less emphasis on formulating hypothesis.However, we believe that the advances that our teachers made during the workshopoutweighed the unintended results

revitalize our college through the energizing pedagogy of service-learning. The thesis is that service-learning spread throughout the core curriculum is more effective than one intensive course, which is more effective than none at all, that a mixture of required and elective service-learning (s-l) is more effective than either one or the other, and that service-learning will result in less coursework time than traditional programs satisfying ABET 2000 criteria.They define service-learning as a hands-on learning approach in which students achieveacademic objectives in a credit-bearing course by meeting real community needs. Theyhave integrated service-learning into many kinds of courses. They include designcourses

This view of teaching and learning was investigated to see if some facultysee teaching as transmitting information and students' learning as receiving this information[17],without much focus on how the information really functions. Hendersen, et al.'s work used aphysics problem to focus an investigation into faculty perceptions of teaching and learningproblem solving. The problem required an average student to use exploratory decision makingas opposed to an algorithmic or "plug and chug" approach. Many faculty were oriented towardsthe algorithmic approach instead of focusing on problem solving; "Much of the material inprerequisite courses prior to the beginning of core engineering courses is oriented greatlytowards

The test averages were essentially identical for this group: test #1 -41.6, test #2 -41.1 and test #3 -41.4. Although the test averages for the four courses being studied were higherthan the averages for the control group, the difference(s) can probably be attributed to factors other than testadministration methodology. However, one factor which should be studied further is the effect of allowing thestudents a short preview period prior to studying for the examinations.
