On average the lab managers were travelling three days per week and on eachtrip they could cover anywhere from 100 to 500 miles. For entry-level courses, such as CircuitModeling I, traveling support staff can be used to assess proper usage of lab equipment and toevaluate the construction and performance of simple circuits. Since they cover locationsthroughout the state, the two lab managers usually create a biweekly site schedule which bothstudents and faculty can plan around. They work with engineering faculty to ensure that theremote students have a lab experience equivalent to those on main campus. For upper

Because this is a within design study where half of the studentsget lecture and the other half an activity for one topic and the groups are switched for the anothertopic, we will have a head-to-head comparison between lecture and DLM activity for the samegroups of students taught in the two modes. We also plan for post DLM activity interviews thatwill be compared with those from the previous year to ascertain whether conceptual difficultiesshown to persist from a previous implementation with a lecture/ demonstration mode ofinstruction are substantially reduced. Based on the findings of this study, future work includesfurther development of DLM cartridge activities and

His current research interests include on the education side development of simulations and cases for active learning, and on the model- ing side supply chains and logistics management, and production systems planning and optimization, and applications in different industries.

experienced, full-time, tenure-track faculty and student enrollment is typically limited to about twenty students per class. Thecourse instructor is also the initial academic advisor for the students. The Preceptorial Programshould9: 1. Introduce the student to the intellectual resources of the University 2. Encourage the student to develop the inquiring habit of mind that is fundamental to higher education 3. Assist the student in planning a cohesive and productive program of study 4. Provide for early and continuing communication between the student and the advisor.The laboratory component of the course is based on the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXTsystem. Students work on a variety of design challenges, including a rubber band powered racer,a
strain gauges on the bars, implementing National Instrument PXI data acquisition system and Labview software for data collection.8- The student had a chance to successfully test and validate the performance of the prototype fabricated.9- The student conducted high speed deformation experiments and collected valid experimental data.10- The student improved his oral communication skill by making weekly presentation to the audience of the senior design class and a faculty advisor.11- The student improved his written communication skill by documenting the design, design verification, prototype fabrication, testing and validation.12- The student had a chance to improve his project management skills by setting up project plan, time

A key specification of the design and development of the videos wasthat they must be made available online, with plans for ubiquitous availability across classes,instructors, and sites. Each video lecture represented key components of content and contextknowledge. The videos were designed to meet the needs of students through multiple methods ofinstruction, including those with limited access, repeated access, sequenced access, and generalavailability. Initial evaluations of pilot use in the classroom, conducted in Fall 2010, Spring2011, and Fall 2011, provided formative feedback on students
engineering faculty provided support, HBCU and HSIstudents‘ responses varied. HBCU students were more likely to report that their facultyprovided support through career preparation and planning, often suggesting that studentsprepare for graduate school, internships, cooperative experiences and other opportunitiesoutside of the classroom. ―I think the faculty provides support because they're the ones that have allthe information about… the different graduate schools. And a lot of them havebeen to certain graduate schools. That can really help me out in the future, like if Iwant to know, like, „hey, you've been here, how was your experience,‟ do you thinkthat would be a nice place for me to go, and different things like that.” – Russell,HBCU-1

Thiscommercially available product acts as a shareable repository for contact information, contactlogs, “to do” lists, and document files the team has sent. The team’s plans for expanding the E2R2P effort involve recruiting and paying undergraduateengineering students to use contact lists provided by the alumni association, the career center,and other mailing list providers to place calls to practicing engineers in the workplace to collectdata.

suggests that similar gains as those seen in client-basedservice-learning can be acquired by completing projects that are thematically similar orrepresentative of an actual community issue.6 This study proposes that a theoretical client can beused to take the place of a community client and hypothesizes that students respond similarlybetween situations where a class project is client-specific and situations are not client-based, yettheoretically could help someone. Although this research finds that theoretical clients are asuccessful way to eliminate logistical difficulties in coordinating client-based projects,Northeastern University still plans to expand the number of client-based service-learning projectsoffered.6 The recommended continued

the cost of professional-level high-speed video equipment typicallybeing greater than $10,000, the low cost approach outlined here may be the only option forcapturing moderately high-speed events for illustration purposes for many instructors inengineering classes. Future work is planned using this basic approach for illustrating concepts invarious courses, with improvements implemented based on lessons learned to date.Some lessons learned are: - A loss of resolution and reduced viewable area for higher frame rates must be considered for any specific application. - Particular attention to lighting and background contrast is important for most videos, but these issues are very important when using a camera such as the one
:“Participants set forth their ideas and negotiate a fit between personal ideas and ideas of others,using contrasts to spark and sustain knowledge advancement rather than depending on others tochart that course for them. They deal with problems of goals, motivation, evaluation, and long-range planning that are normally left to teachers or managers.” We found that although such adescription clearly indicates a reduced and different type of role for the instructor, there were stillnumerous opportunities for the instructor to scaffold, share, redirect, and otherwise influencestudent collaborative discourse.KB TalkWith the problem of understanding formulated and initial theories developed, students began aten-week period of knowledge building that took

If students are thinking about becoming a lawyer, we inform themthat again engineering is an excellent undergraduate degree for law school. We also point outthat an engineering degree is required for patent law, which is a very good paying career. Wealso caution the students about doing any major that has a “pre” in front of it, such as pre-law,pre-medicine, or pre-business, since if they change their mind or are unable to get into medicalschool, a “pre” degree does not have a lot of value in the marketplace and emphasizes that thestudent was not able to carry through with their intent.

Kapoor & Gardener-McCune [11] found that computingstudents with lower socioeconomic backgrounds found it difficult to pursue industry internshipdue to family and other circumstances. Krenz et al. [16] indicated that lower-income computingstudents had difficulty pursuing graduate school full-time due to familial and economicresponsibilities. To better support lower-income students in computing to broaden theirparticipation in computing careers, it is critical to understand these students’ viewpoints on jobfactors associated with different career pathways for their post-graduation plans.3.
