Seven of the students were male and five were female; 9 were Blackand 3 were white.Sample and Procedure for Coding AssessmentsWe collected assessments from grades 3-5 students in 274 classes from 129 schools. In eachclass, teachers had just finished implementing one or more engineering units. Schools werelocated in three states on the east coast, one in New England, one in the Mid-Atlantic region, andone in the South. Half the students were male and half female.

The twoassessment methods were randomly assigned to students, resulting in half of the samplecompleting each assessment method. The assessments were given on the first day of class.All of these 148 students were assigned the design project on the first day of class, too. Theyworked on self-formed teams, performing nearly all of the work outside of class. Between 2012and 2015, a total of 25 teams completed the

All students came exclusively froma mechanical engineering background and were enrolled in this capstone design project as acourse requirement for graduation within their major. These students were given the option toenroll in one of forty-one projects, with this particular project having an enrollment limit of tenstudents. Of the ten student team members, eight agreed to be interviewed. Of the studentparticipants, there were seven males and one female with experience ranging from courseworkonly, to several years in industry. Amongst these students were three active

Manufacturing Engineering technology (MET). The effortsdescribed in this paper were directed from the MET program point of view addressing its futuredirection from the perspectives of student recruitment and community outreach. In this section,we discuss the reasons for our decision to proactively seek new ways of interacting with areamiddle and high schools.The Northern and Northeastern Illinois region have historically served as an industrial base forthis country. In particular, manufacturing plays a significant role in the region's economy. Thetwo large cities of Chicago and Rockford provide a home for some of the largest and better -known manufacturers in the nation. It is not surprising that several universities located in andaround the region
to work at a Navycenter for two years upon their graduation.The late official notification (mid-fall of 2004) of these awards to the winning universitiesresulted in some difficulty on the part of the university PIs in recruiting the promised number ofstudents. Because of this, at the time of this writing only three student slots of the thirteenpossible openings have been filled. It is expected that all of the remaining slots will be filledduring the spring of 2005.As these students move through their programs they will be tracked and evaluated, and theoverall program will be assessed. The information on student progress and program operationwill be evaluated by appropriate NSF and ONR personnel. With this information in hand,recommendations

Finally we will include the benefits and costsfrom the faculty and curriculum perspective. This will allow us to make suggestions forapplying this technique to environmental engineering design courses and to other engineeringdisciplines.Materials and MethodsDescription of Design CourseThe study took place at a large, mid-Atlantic research-oriented university. Sixteen students, allseniors in Civil Engineering, were enrolled in the environmental engineering design courseduring Fall 2013.

Memorial University is also the province’s sole university and therefore the onlyoption for studying engineering and physical sciences at the post-secondary level within theprovince. The questionnaire for this study (PSEF-Engineering versus Physical Sciences) was self-developed for our research questions and target population, but was based on past surveys onrelated research questions.

Education, 2017 Benefits and Challenges of Transitioning to Community Service Multidisciplinary Capstone ProjectsAbstractSignificant research has shown the positive benefit of service and community-based learning onstudent diversity, engagement, and retention. Elements of service-learning have beenincorporated across disciplines into traditional classes as well as capstone experiences. Whileproviding significant benefits, challenges also exist in managing relationships with externalclients, finding administrative support for these experiences, and engaging students in moreopen-ended projects.Recognizing these benefits, new capstone projects have been introduced at our mid-sized mid-Atlantic college over the last two
theimpact of PFX on students’ prototyping awareness. In this study, students at a large Mid-Atlantic university were taught three prototyping lensesbased on the PFX methodology: (1) Prototyping for Viability, (2) Prototyping for Feasibility, and(3) Prototyping for Desirability. This paper presents preliminary findings on the relationshipbetween these three prototyping lenses and students’ prototyping awareness, which we define asstudents’ ability to identify their mental models during the prototyping process. We useprototyping awareness as a proxy to measure adoption and implementation of PFX methods. ThePrototyping AWareness Scale, or PAWS was created for this study, and we discuss its internalconsistency and future iterations. Data were

Contact lists were generated from the course rosters for each section. The pretestyielded 95 complete, usable responses with 48 in the experimental group and 47 in the controlgroup.

‘minority’ made them more attuned toexclusionary course experiences for other minority identities.Study ObjectivesThe National Science Foundation’s Revolutionizing Engineering and computer scienceDepartments (RED) grant was awarded to the Civil and Environmental Engineering Departmentat midsized mid-Atlantic university in 2016. The RED grant has worked to broaden access andimprove the climate of inclusion for underrepresented and underserved engineering students. In2016 and 2018, the RED research team distributed climate surveys to all engineering students.While extensive research has been done on gender and sexual minority students’ perceptions ofbelongingness in engineering, fewer studies have examined their perceptions of the

The course had3 main learning objectives: (1) Identify and analyze the interdependencies of gender, diversity,culture, and engineering, using a variety of methods; (2) Connect issues relating to gender,diversity, and culture to students' experiences in college and future workplace experiences; and(3) Envision new engineering processes, practices, and cultures that reflect expandedperspectives on gender, diversity, and intersectional identities [10].This course was developed over a multi-year period and first launched at Stanford in the 2015-16academic year, in partnership with Aachen University in Germany. The first course was taughtsynchronously at both sites and students worked on cross-Atlantic project teams. A total of 20Stanford students
test instruments havebeen considered and it was determined that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)was the most appropriate. A brief discussion of the MBTI is given in Section 3 of thispaper.A number of results describing the role of MBTI in engineering education have beenreported. For example, the use of MBTI in curriculum analysis and design was discussedin [1]. In [2] experimental confirmation of the relationship between MBTI, variouspsychometric factors, and categories of cognitive activities was obtained. MBTI wasalso used as a part of a profile analysis to predict student performance in a first yearchemical engineering course [3] . In [4] the use of MBTI for team formation wasdiscussed.In [5] a group problem-solving model, based on
