Staying Consistent: Discipline-Specific Language Used in Introductory CS Curricula

Creator:: Weber, Jason
Abstract:: The understanding of Discipline-Specific Language is an important competency for students of any field to begin mastering early in their studies, since it serves as a prerequisite for both the analysis of expert text and precise communication. Therefore, an introductory curriculum should pay careful attention to how it incorporates, defines,...

Field-use electrochemical sensors for detection of carbamazepine in saliva and water

Creator:: Minzlaff, Jade
Abstract:: The anticonvulsant drug carbamazepine (CBZ) is a commonly prescribed drug that is used to treat patients with neurological disorders including epilepsy and bi-polar disorder. CBZ has a narrow range of efficacy: Below the therapeutic dose, seizures and other conditions are not controlled, and above the recommended window, patients experience side...

Addressing the Risks of Nanoscale Polymers: Exposure, Behavior, and Toxicity

Creator:: Stine, Jared
Abstract:: Nanoscale polymers (including nanoplastics) are widely present through commerce and make their way into the environment. As the improper disposal of plastic waste leads to continued accumulation and degradation of plastic pollution, the presence of plastic particles less than 1 micron (μm) in size (nanoplastics) will increase. Heightened concern over...

Evaluation of a Pedestrian Call Extension and Cancelation System at a Midblock Trail Crossing

Creator:: Milacek, McKenna
Abstract:: Signalized intersections often provide pushbuttons to call for pedestrian service to minimize conflicting movements between road users. Signalized midblock crossings typically increase safety for pedestrians in locations with high traffic volumes and multiple lanes in each direction. However, unnecessary vehicular delay occurs from “ghost” pedestrian intervals when someone activates the...

Development of Microfluidic Assays and Flow Control Tools on Porous Materials: Towards a Wound-Health Monitoring Device

Creator:: Downs, Corey J.
Abstract:: Remote health monitoring tools have significant potential to revolutionize the current healthcare paradigm. Such tools could improve efficiencies in healthcare by alerting patients and doctors to abnormal health conditions in real time, shortening the time to diagnose and treat ailments. To meet these needs, we pursue the development of fabric-based...

Conceptual Representations within the Social and Material Contexts of an Engineering Workplace and Academic Environments

Creator:: Barner, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Situated cognition theory emphasizes the role that social and material contexts have on learning and knowledge application. Several studies of engineering workplace environments have noted differences between the social and material contexts of the workplace and those of undergraduate engineering education. No existing research has studied the social and material...

Assessment of Decentralized Wastewater Treatment System- Potential Impact on Water Quality

Creator:: Chavan, Padmaja Ramesh
Abstract:: Watershed analysis is a method used to collectively characterize ecosystem elements present within a watershed. Wastewater flow and pollutant content help to define the appropriate wastewater treatment system necessary to treat the wastewater within the watershed. Watershed monitoring aids to investigate the potential contamination through analysis of surface waterbodies. Major...

Optimizing Methods to Assess Nanoparticle Biodistribution in Embryonic Zebrafish

Creator:: Pfarr, Shaylin H.
Abstract:: As nanoparticle (NP) research and development expands, the significance of NP biodistribution effects on toxicity increases. A reliable method for measuring NP biodistribution is critical. Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) is capable of accurately quantitating NP biodistribution within embryonic zebrafish with incredibly high precision. Before HSI processing, the embryo must be sectioned...

Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) in a Studio Learning Environment: Practices, Epistemologies, and Pedagogical Development

Creator:: Smith, Christina
Abstract:: Providing transformational learning opportunities for undergraduate students demands changes to teaching practices. In large-enrollment introductory courses, graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) play an important role in facilitating student learning in small group environments. However GTAs are not provided the pedagogical development necessary to support them to be effective in their teaching...

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...
