The SCALE-UP (Student-Centered Active-Learning Environment with Upside-DownPedagogies) project has paved the way for active learning classrooms and is the basis for the"flipped" classroom model, where the majority of content is delivered outside the classroom, andclassroom time is used for active-learning activities, and often, group work. The SCALE-UPmodel has been shown to result in increased academic performance and student satisfaction(Beichner and Saul 2003).The School of Engineering (SOE) has placed a high priority on supporting pedagogical shifts tostudent-centered, evidence-based practices across its undergraduate curricula through itsEngaged Learning Initiative (ELI).

This system is able to respond withthe speed and accuracy needed to complete all the objectives of this competition safely and effectively. The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the initial architecture and design of the NJITautonomous vehicle. In addition, this project presents a number of education and management relatedproblems such as administration of a large student-centered project, interaction of diverse andmultidisciplinary subgroups, recruitment and supervision of team members, and relationship-buildingwith sponsor companies.

The projected forecast is a new decline in enrollment for the next couple of years as aconsequence of factors including the dominant industry, job offer and demand, and a processcontrol-related oscillatory response influenced by graduation times, complex curricula, andsalary reward[2].Additionally, ChE freshmen matriculation has declined due to students leaving their major toother perceived “less pollutant” engineering disciplines such as those of civil, biomedical, andenvironmental.

Research on responses to success likewisesuggests positive emotions in response to success on work projects, such as pride, satisfaction,and happiness. In educational contexts, emotional responses to academic work have been foundto be quite similar [1]. We use a portion of the Control-Value Theory of achievement emotionsby Pekrun and colleagues to explain the range of emotions we observed after receiving examscores. Whereas the cognitive and behavioral responses in educational contexts may more likelytake the form of using better or worse study strategies such as
