As one student expressed in a focus group, “Well, I got to say, it's alot more design in seminar and a lot more seminar in design.” Although some students indicatedsome sense of ambivalence regarding this change, all students in the other group agreed with onestudent’s explanation: It kind of feels like they've blurred the lines between our design lab and seminar. It's actually kind of nice because it makes it harder to differentiate between the two. I kind of liked the classes have somewhat blurred together

The main difference will be that the studentsare required to produce scholarly works including conference papers and trade journal articles.Scholarly works of appropriate quality may also be submitted to scientific journals.

Cognitive style is a stable attitude or way ofthinking that reflects how a given individual prefers to interpret and respond to information.7Kirton’s Adaption–Innovation (A–I) theory posits that some individuals are more adaptive andprefer more structure, while others are more innovative and prefer less structure. Althoughindividuals may have a preferred problem solving approach, there are always different problemsituations or different times within a problem in which there could be a benefit to approachingthat problem in a non-preferred way.

Most simply, small (∼1 cm2) solar cells can be characterized by pointmeasurements such as open-circuit voltage, photocurrent, efficiency, and spectral response.However, solar cells, including large-area devices (∼ 100 cm2) and modules, can be analyzed inmuch more detail by scanning and probing the solar cell to map the localized electrical andoptical characteristics and performance in two dimensions. Here we describe the adaptation ofan inexpensive (∼$100) desktop laser engraver and a low-cost CCD camera for 2-D profiling ofsolar cells based on light-beam induced current, spectral response, surface roughness topography,grain structure and texture, and reflectivity.

Here, we reporton the field trial of this program, and examine the efficacy of the program for increasing youthmotivation and aspirations in STEM, enhancing their abilities to engage in engineering designpractices, and for developing their capacity to use UAVs to address scientific and engineeringproblems. We also report on the changes the program had on youth perceptions of UAV/Drones:from considering UAVs as “toys” to realizing they can be used as “tools” to support science

This model depicts an idealized, cyclical relationship between research andpractice: a scenario in which practical issues drive research questions and research insightsinfluence what happens in practice. Unfortunately, this is rarely what happens in reality—mostof what happens in practice is not informed by research, nor is it properly assessed for accuracyof meeting objectives [3].

For example, a score of (-11) on the ACT-REFdimension indicates a strong preference for active learning, while a score of (+11)suggests a deeply reflective learner. In this first phase of data analysis, we definemisalignment as the (student) – (instructor) ILS score across all four ILS dimensions.

The lack of focus on policy reflects a broader trend in the interviewswhereby participants externalize the problem of underrepresentation as located not inundergraduate education.In some ways the small amount of attention paid to policy related to students is understandable.To be fair, I also did not originally think to include policy questions in my interview protocol. Idid so only after one of the project’s advisory board members suggested it. On one hand, thismakes some sense. As the one participant stated, “You can’t have a policy in place to tellsomeone, ‘Don’t make her feel bad.’ That’s just a culture.” Certainly, it is true that “familyfriendly” policies

Usually, their responses only reflect what a client has already seen, known and becomecomfortable with or else the responses are hopelessly vague on the order of: “Give me somethingI’ve never seen before.”The obstacles for innovation in such situations should be obvious. This situation in softwaredesign has its direct analogue in architectural engineering design. The architect or engineerreceives a program with space sizes and relationships, perhaps as well a statement oforganizational goals, and then is expected to turn these parameters into a design concept. Thelarge gap between the demands of basic functionality and the evolution of an artistically unifieddesign response make the conceptual and schematic phases of the design process
