Whenyou're a kid it ha[s] a great influence on you, because ... your dad just looked like an Einstein.”For Sean, being a good son was tied up in being a good teacher and a good engineer, as successin one indicates success in the others. He also drew on his experiences and identity as a non-native speaker when talking about his work teaching engineering, as demonstrated in thefollowing quote: “One of my students asked me, ‘Oh my god. I got a minus work, a negative work.’ ... Don't feel bad about the negative work…. This negative means that this is work out of your system, not into your system. For example, the pump work, and the rankine cycle is positive

“professional knowledge” as a type ofknowledge arising from engagement in reflection activities is in alignment with Stevens et al.’s(2008) notion of accountable disciplinary knowledge. In other words, reflection activities canhelp students gain or advance their knowledge in relation to course learning objectives,knowledge and skills required for accreditation, etc. In talking with students to explore whetherthe reflection activity did result in professional knowledge, we might be interested in statementsfrom students such as: “I learned something relevant to the course objectives,” “I learnedsomething relevant to my degree,” and “I learned something related to getting a universitydegree.”Factor 2: Personal knowledgeReflection activities have the

efficiency of transaction processing. Mobility refers tothe capability of mobile payment transactions to be carried out at any time and in any place. Easeof use is the ease with which transactions can be performed using mobile payment methods.Mobile payments are completed in a relatively short time when compared to other forms ofpayment, hence the speed attribution, and the security of mobile payments is also a benefit thatmakes mobile payments adoption particularly advantageous [1][4][5]. The ease-of-use, speed,and efficiency of transaction processing are factors that boost merchant adoption as well [2].“The acceptance of mobile payment method[s] by merchant[s] especially small and mid-sizedbusiness[es] (SMBs) has risen tremendously…[to] 21% of

The experience students gain with CAD, CAM, FEA, and CNC machining during thisproject, both through their successes and failures along the way, prepares them for a betterchance at success while working on other projects in this course and in their capstone designprojects, and, of course, after graduation and throughout their careers as engineers.References[1] Perez, D., J.

This is above and beyond the weekly journal and StudentEvaluation form. The format and topic(s) of the final report is left up to the student with theapproval of the research supervisor. The intent of the report is to prepare a scholarly workdocument to be submitted (acceptance is not a requirement) in the form of a conference,scientific and trade journal paper, technical meeting or conference presentation.A seminar will be scheduled at the end of the term.

spring of 2017. The Historical Society director wanted to show the shift from flour milling topaper milling on the Fox River that occurred at that time. So, the class was ‘hired’ to makeinteractive exhibits that demonstrated how an 1870’s flour mill worked.It was a unique opportunity for the class, because they were able to interact with a client,including touring the space, creating prototypes, having the client request design changes, andfinally building the exhibit. Partnering with the students also helped the Historical Societyreceive two local community grants to support the exhibit. At the end of the semester, thedirector of the Historical Society reviewed the student projects and accepted 4 of the 5 projectsfor inclusion in the exhibit

However, students have the option to take a break(s) during the e-Lesson; break points are suggested. • Participation: Exercises are included during the workshop class to encourage students to begin their problem solving. Complete solutions are provided. • Quiz: A digitally-mediated quiz containing numerous short-answer (true-false, multiple choice) questions is provided after the new material has been presented in each e-Lesson. This quiz is not graded, and solutions are given for all responses. This approach is
segmented using a conversation analysis coding system thatdistinguishes turns-at-talk between two individuals.33 Conversation Analysis (CA) is aqualitative method derived from ethnomethodology and discourse analysis and established in the1960’s by social scientists Harvey Sacks, Emanuel Schegloff and Gail Jefferson to distinguishsocial interaction during discourse. It allows researchers to describe, analyze and understand talkthrough a series of organizational structure and linguistic notation.33 Specific notation for CAtranscripts were developed by Gail Jefferson to show linguistic emphasis. Additional focusincludes the use of adjacency pairs that delineate conditional relevance (e.g., first turn-at-talk ofadjacency pair makes the later turn

deciding who to ask for recommendations, and detailed advice is given on how toprepare background information that will assist letter writers in highlighting the range ofapplicants' skills and abilities.IntroductionRecommendation letters are typically one component of a larger application package, which mayalso include transcripts, test scores, statements of purpose, and a resume. Before asking forrecommendation letters, you should consider the purpose and scope of the opportunity, anddetermine what types of recommendations would be most appropriate and helpful in convincingthe reviewer that you are the best fit for this opportunity.For instance, typical graduate school applications require the following elements: Statement(s) of Purpose: an
