Power-On Indicator LEDs3. Function generator We used Analog Discovery 2 (AD2) [9] units as our function generator to supply power to our boards. The “Supplies Mode” is set to the positive supply voltage of 5V and then AD2’s Positive Supply Channel jumpers are connected to the bus strip of the test-board. The AD2 units were readily available to students in our program, as these units were ordered and used in the pre-requisite course Electric Circuits Lab. These units are loaned to students and are returned to school upon completion of the course. In the absence of AD2 units, and in cases where the cost is prohibitive, interested individuals can use 9V batteries together with an inexpensive voltage regulator to create a 5V

questions on a specific ‘exemplary’ course(s); i.e.,one that explicitly embedded content on engineering ethics. For example, “Was learning aboutethics and/or societal impacts in this course helpful to you in your work? If so, please explain.”The survey then asked about the importance of ethics/societal issues in engineering/computingwork, courses and co-curricular activities in college that impacted their ethical reasoning, andrating the level to which they felt adequately prepared to face ethical issues in their work (1 to 10scale). The survey concluded with the frequency they had encountered various ethical issues intheir work and demographic items (e.g., year they took exemplar course, year graduated with BSdegree, undergraduate major, graduate

Patrick Quin describes Aquinas’Super de Trin.2.4 “that theological truth is best transmitted to the faithful in parabolic form… itmight, he thinks, confuse the uneducated who would misunderstand it and be ridiculed byunbelievers who detest it anyway” [10]. Aquinas states: “…it is said in Luke 8:10, ‘To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables.’ Therefore one ought by obscurity in speech conceal the sacred truths from the multitude” (Pars 1 q. 2 a. 4 s. c. 3). “…the words of a teacher ought
].One of the conclusions from Deardorff (2006)’s study is that intercultural scholars and highereducation administrators did not define intercultural competence in relation to specificcomponents. Instead, both groups preferred definitions that were broader in nature [15].However, there was an 80% agreement on these skills. Using the items on which 80% or more ofboth the intercultural scholars and administrators agreed, Deardorff (2006) organized these itemsinto two visual ways of defining intercultural competence that could be used as a framework byadministrators and others in their work in developing and accessing intercultural competence[15].

Carefully construct a storyline — The constructed storyline can begin from students’ prior ideas and evolve into sophisticated ideas of how student understanding, especially, the DCIs, SEPs, and CCCs, may develop over time. 10. Ask the following question, “How do the lesson(s) help students move towards an understanding of the PEs?’’ — After completing the lesson development process, it is important to review the developed lesson plan and reconfirm that it can build students’ knowledge and comprehension of the PEs. Here, it is vital to unpack the development of lesson level PEs
Franklin D. Roosevelt criticized engineeringschools for not doing more to train engineering students in social and professional skills.56 Anumber of leading engineering schools including Carnegie, Cornell, MIT, Purdue, and Yale didrevise their programs to include more non-technical courses.In the late 1920s, SPEE began organizing summer schools in an effort to improve teaching andencourage curriculum development. The 1932 Summer School, which was held at Ohio StateUniversity and the Stevens Institute of Technology, focused on English instruction. One of thesessions was devoted to “Teaching Literature in Engineering Colleges.” The instructors includedH. S. Leach, a librarian from Lehigh University.57In 1933, Columbia University began requiring its
and the environment (i.e. STSE), inteaching undergraduate engineering students? The use of STSE as a theoretical framework wasinspired by two motivating factors: first, STSE is a framework used primarily in the K-12 realm,and so there’s a novelty to integrating the two, often distinct realms of K-12 STEM and post-secondary engineering education; and secondly, STSE represents a broad range of perspectivesand instructional tools that connect science and technology with society and the environment,offering opportunities for rich and diverse responses and participation from the instructors in thestudy.Background LiteratureSTSE gained prominence as a result of the social movements of the 1960’s and 1970’s thatcalled for a change in science to

The most prominentones are: the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI),(17) the Felder-Silverman Learning StyleModel,(18) and the Dun and Dun Learning Style Model.(19)The MBTI, based on Jung’s theory, has been popular in explaining differences in learning fornormal people. The dimension of most interest for learning is sensing(S) versus intuitive (N)type.(20) The sensing person prefers a straightforward, logical, step-by-step approach to learning.The sensing person often learns by solving problems, and tends to find theory difficult. Theintuitive individual, on the other hand, will skip steps and follow hunches. He/she learns
had no problems had the system used a PS/2 mouse. We found thatthe Jornada 820’s synchronization software had to be set to use the serial port COM 1 at a baudrate of 19200. We then set the modem to use COM 3 and the serial mouse to use COM 2. Oncethe serial port settings were in place, the synchronization using the Windows CE Servicesworked fine.A minor problem that bears mentioning is the occasional freeze or hanging of communicationbetween the Jornada 820 and the desktop computer at the initialization of synchronization.When this occurred, simply removing the serial cable from the Jornada 820 momentarily andthen reseating it was enough to reset the connection. This could be done while Windows CEServices was attempting to communicate with

In 1998, Cates surveyed allstudents in Materials Science and Engineering and Industrial Engineering to get theirperceptions.

They were then asked to attribute the development of each ability on apercentage basis to xx % Classroom, yy % Co-op and zz % Other (please specify) to total 100%.A second, and more comprehensive survey, was administered by Cates to the graduating Class of1999 for the University of

This program consists of a rigorousintegrated four-year curriculum, designed to prepare graduates for technical careers on the“engineering team.” The program currently enrolled about 375 students at the time of this study.At Cal Poly Pomona, two courses participated in this study during fall quarter 2000. These were: ETE 310 Applied Network Analysis/Lab (3/1). This was an upper-division math-intensive technical course for juniors that included Laplace transforms, transfer functions, the s-plane, stability, and time/frequency response of
