David Foster Wallace's communal middle ground

Creator:: Randlemon, Daniel E.
Abstract:: Throughout the course of this thesis, I argue that the prose of David Foster Wallace, specifically his posthumously published novel The Pale King, inhabits a middle ground between universal sincerity and the particularized authenticity of postmodern irony. I examine Lionel Trilling's definitions of sincerity and authenticity before moving toward an...

An historical review of Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory

Creator:: Hickcox, Leslie K. (Leslie Kay), 1951-
Abstract:: The central purposes of this study were to review the historical sources of David Kolb's formulation of experiential learning theory, and to determine the effect and application of Kolb's theory and Learning Style Inventory as reflected in the literature between 1971 and 1990. It was found that Kolb based his...

Student Engagement : Exploring How and Why Students Engage In- and Out-of-Class

Creator:: Pascoe, Jason J.
Abstract:: Student engagement in a course plays a vital role in a student’s ability to process and construct knowledge. Student engagement research has investigated how students engage in and out of the classroom on a macro scale, through observation and survey data collection of large student populations, which lack focus on...

Modeling the impact of logging debris on the dissolved oxygen balance of small mountain streams

Creator:: Berry, John David
Abstract:: Previous research has indicated that considerable amounts of finely divided slash accumulate in small mountain streams following timber harvesting. The subsequent biological decomposition of this organic matter can result i.n the reduction of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration to levels as low as 0.6 ppm. These DO levels are lethal to...

Evaluation of Adoptability : The Iterative Development of an Energy Production Device for the Middle School Classroom

Creator:: Heck, Samuel T.
Abstract:: This study conducts follow up research to my Mechanical Engineering Senior Project that was completed in March 2015. It follows the Student Powered Hydro and Entertainment Device (SPHED) as it is used in various middle school and high school classrooms. SPHED has three modules: a power generation module, a hydropower...

The effects of water withdrawals on the emergence timing, adult body mass, and total emerging biomass of aquatic insects from two northeast Oregon rivers

Creator:: Brown, Phil D.
Abstract:: Small low-head diversion dams are capable of removing much of the flow of a river, often resulting in increased water temperatures and habitat loss. Warmer temperatures have been shown to accelerate aquatic invertebrate growth and development, and discharge reductions can reduce instream habitat, suggesting that water withdrawals may alter both...

A configuration-interaction calculation of wave functions for certain states of lithium

Creator:: Brown, Bert Elwood
Abstract:: A configuration-interaction determination of wave functions has been made for the ²S and ²P states of lithium, and for the ¹S and ³S states of the lithium ion. Two 1s, one 2s, one 3s, and two 2p functions served as starting functions for all four states. Results of the total...

Problem Solving Personas of Civil Engineering Practitioners using Eye Tracking Techniques

Creator:: Gestson, Sean L.
Abstract:: Engineering practitioners solve problems in various ways; it is plausible that they often rely on graphs, figures, formulas and other representations to reach a solution. How and why engineering practitioners use representations to solve problems can characterize certain problem-solving behaviors, which can be used to determine particular types of problem...

Understanding Instructors Curriculum Planning Process for the Refinement and Dissemination of a Digital Platform to Share Transportation Education Materials

Creator:: Peters, Allie
Abstract:: Background The National Science Foundation (NSF) has funded multiple research projects dedicated to the development of research and evidence based instructional strategies in an effort to improve the state of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education in the US. These efforts have led to an abundance of research based...

A State of Practice of Safety and Big Data in Transportation Engineering Curricula and in Transportation Design : How is it Used and How can Academic Offerings Better Represent Industry Practices?

Creator:: Castro, Edgar D.
Abstract:: Improving safety education could contribute to the preparation of better professional engineers. Safety topics are not holistically embedded in transportation course curricula. This thesis explores the current state in which safety is being incorporated in transportation course curricula in terms of design and compares the uses of safety data in...
