advancing technology,is increasing the necessity for astute critical thinking skills, yet many students arrive at the universitywith these skills underdeveloped. Such higher-level thinking involves analyzing, evaluating, andcreating (the topmost three levels of thinking in Bloom‟s Taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain revisedby Anderson in 2001). Several researchers in the late 1990s into the 2000s have shown thatprocessing new information using these thinking skills increases students‟ information retention. Inaddition, thinking critically helps prepare students to become successful global citizens because theycan make the decisions and solve the problems of modern life more astutely, having both theknowledge retained and the thinking skills developed

the time thatcan be devoted to this algebra practice. A simple method of partial fraction expansion, to check the studentswork or do the work for them, allows the students to learn more about how mathematical expressionsrepresent the circuits operation. In Matlab, the residue@,D) command provides a partial fraction expansion of a polynomial withnumerator, N, and denominator, D. For instance, consider a simple series RLC circuit with the output takenacross the capacitor. After transformation of this circuit into the Laplace domain and a few calculations,Equation [1] is found to represent the Laplace polynomial of the output of the circuit, where VO(S) is theoutput across the capacitor and VI(S) is the generalized input waveform.A common
in the rejected heat by a shaded and unshaded condenser isdue to solar flux received by the condenser face area. Thus, to investigate the effects of a shadedcondenser on the COP of the refrigeration cycle, solar flux was skipped for the correlatingequations and compared to the normal case when solar flux is available.The improvement in the COP of the cycle was defined as:𝐼 (1)where the subscripts “s” and “u” stand for shaded and unshaded cases, respectively.To evaluate the COP of each case, equations (2) and (3) were used for shaded and unshadedCOP, respectively.𝐶𝑂𝑃 (2) ,𝐶𝑂𝑃

However, in that animation, students observe theresults of a completed process and it is difficult for the novices among them to learn from thedetails that led to the final results they see on the animation. Our experience indicates that, afterstudents have plotted partial sums on their own, such an animation becomes a

This model provides a social psychological framework proved to be useful in explainingseveral types of behavior7,8. It suggests that someone‟s Behavioral Intention (BI) depends onAttitude (A) and Subjective Norm (SN). This framework will help predicting the intention forholding a doctoral degree in engineering.

the 1st generation, low income, urban and rural highschool student populations. As evidenced by their SAT Math achievement scores and high GPA’swhich prompted their admission, these students are smart. However, they received their STEMeducation in low performing urban and rural high schools and were raised in highly challengedunder-resourced neighborhoods. Research shows that these talented students succumb to theintensity of the 1st and 2nd year university math/science courses. The S-STEM BEATS projectbuilds upon prior NSF S-STEM and STEP projects lessons and practices which proved S-STEMscholars will thrive best when embedded and engaged in an academic innovation ecosystem whichallows students to benefit from the support talents and

bringing the entrepreneurial mindset to engineering education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 The rise of rapid prototyping in a biomedical engineering design sequenceIntroductionPrototyping has always played an important role in the design process as way to determineconceptual viability and iterate upon an idea. Over the last decade, the decreasing costs,improved accuracy, and wide-spread availability of rapid prototyping (RP) technology haslowered the barriers to early-stage prototyping. At universities, the result has been the rise ofmaker’s spaces, skill-based pop-up classes and rapid design challenges. In this paper, we explorethe history of rapid prototyping throughout the 1990’s and 2000
, which was verified with this data. Stage 3: In this stage, the orthogonal arrays (OA) and signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios are calculated and used to determine the most useful set of predictive variables. Larger S/N ratios are preferred and indicate a possible useful predictive variable. 3 Stage 4: The variables that were identified as significant due to a positive S/N are used to develop a forecasting model.

If this trend continues, what will happen to theeconomy? The authors recognize the need to increase overall enrollments in S&E fields, and theopportunity to increase enrollments by attracting and retaining students from underrepresenteddemographic population groups. Women represent over half the nation’s population and nearlyhalf of the undergraduate enrollment, yet are dramatically underrepresented in the technical andacademic community. Increasing participation of underrepresented groups in S&E will not onlyincrease the available technical workforce, but will also interject ideas and
