translate theacademic paper into a handout that would be appealing for the public and practitioners while alsotranslating my handouts into both english and spanish. My reflection also touches on how I’venoticed that the virtual notebook affords unique, individual contributions while also creating acollaborative product. Some additional themes in my reflection are about the class pace, the needto connect theory to practice, and the utility of this activity for my academic career.***This week I made the title of my reflection "Design IRL" because although I continue to learnabout how important being a peer reviewer is, what it takes to get a publication, and aiming forrejections to get published more, this week felt more grounded about how I can
the E4 Project, which examines the impact of two engineeringcurricula on students’ learning about engineering and science, as well as their interests in andattitudes towards careers in science and engineering. One of the two curricula is EiE, and is thefocus of the present study; the present study does not include data from the other curriculum. TheE4 Project is currently in its second of two data collection years, with data pertinent to thepresent study collected during and after the completion of the first year (2013 - 2014). E4 Project recruitment began by disseminating project flyers through state, district, andschool level channels within the Massachusetts, Maryland and North Carolina regions.

Paper ID #15270Using a Real-Options Analysis Tutorial in Teaching Undergraduate StudentsDr. John A. White Jr., University of Arkansas John A. White, Distinguished Professor of Industrial Engineering and Chancellor Emeritus, received his BSIE degree from the University of Arkansas, his MSIE degree from Virginia Tech, and his PhD from The Ohio State University. He is the recipient of honorary doctorates from Katholieke Universitiet of Leuven in Belgium and George Washington University. Since beginning his teaching career as a tenure-track instructor at Virginia Tech in 1963, he has taught more than 4,000 engineering

Designreviews may take place opportunistically at a student’s desk or at scheduled
hypotheses represent the very beginnings of a multi-year study in whichstudents’ and teachers’ responses to and reflections on design failures in the classroom areinvestigated as part of the aforementioned E4 Project.Study Context & Participants The E4 Project examines the impact of two engineering curricula on children’sengineering learning, science learning, interest in and attitudes towards careers in science and Page 24.980.10engineering. Also investigated within this larger study are teachers’ conceptions aboutengineering and science instruction, and their fidelity of implementation of assigned curricula. This larger study is in
