Researchers created a friendly and professional atmosphere to generate an opendialogue during the interview. All participants signed a consent form and accepted the interviewbeing recorded. At the end of the interview, the interviewee was thanked for participating [19-20].Field notes were taken from the interviews, and the recordings were transcribed digitally into text.The interviews were coordinated through email and phone calls.

Apartfrom psychology, VR is used in medicine, in which VR can provide an effective a repeatabletraining to trainees at a low cost. Also, VR has been known to be a workspace to test and buildnew technologies9. In order to incorporate solar energy technology learning in the educationsystem, VR can be the best tool in order to give a more practical understanding of design anddevelopment of the solar energy technology.

One approach that may prove promising forincreasing STEM education and employment opportunities for IwD is spatial visualization skillsinstruction, and some research suggests such an approach may also be beneficial for IwD. Thisresearch team implemented two pilot studies to explore: 1) how a curriculum designed forimproving the spatial skills of first-year engineering students contributes to the development ofspatial skills for IwD; 2) what modifications are needed to make the curriculum more accessiblefor IwD; 3) what are the limitations or benefits of virtual versus in-person teaching for thisparticular population; and 4) what are the perceptions of IwD regarding the curriculum and theircapacity for success in STEM.

. Thus,for Andre, identification with engineering, race, and social justice were all related. The findingsof this study may have implications for how institutions leverage students’ social justiceresources that they bring into engineering, integrate issues of social justice into engineeringeducation, and broaden perspectives of engineering such that the field might appeal to a widervariety of students. Results highlight the value and utility of integrating issues of socialinequality into engineering education for potentially increasing interest, persistence, andrepresentation in the field of engineering.Introduction A significant amount of research has focused on engineering identity [1], demonstratinghow engineering identity contributes

engineering students be taught in their college programs? This is aquestion raised by many, and which can lead to spirited debates. To provide some guidance,ABET provides some general guidance from professional engineering societies through theirrequired “Student Outcomes” [1]. To be educated to be a practicing engineer, students mustlearn the technical details of subjects important in their discipline. But ABET also recognizesthe need for students to learn non-technical subjects, as graduates should be able to so suchthings as include non-technical components such as cultural factors in their designs, and makeengineering judgements based on societal contexts. Various authors have also discussed theimportance of bringing more non-technical subjects
Instituteof Technology (RIT), Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), Iowa State University,California State Polytechnic University, and the University of Texas at Dallas Clarkson. Thesecourses informed our approach, but we noted that these courses were varied in their coverage andperspective of security. That is, each expressed a different opinion on what perspective securityshould be covered for software engineering students.This led to an effort to define what an appropriate software engineering perspective courseshould include, and how it should fit in the design and student experience in a softwareengineering program. This effort, described below, resulted in a new junior-level undergraduatecourse. Next, we map resources we researched to curate
, especially the aerospace industry, which has lead theadoption of AM for critical end use parts. In academia, AM has also received great deal of interestas a vehicle to improve design and manufacturing education and facilitate student innovation. Theobjective of this effort is to improve the readiness and diversity of the engineering workforce inthe aerospace industry, which is experiencing critical scarcity in talent. We engaged amultidisciplinary team of minority engineering students in the design and manufacture of amodular quadcopter drone driven by AM. The modular drone focus provides a suitable context forthe implementation of experiential learning, which is proven to support the development ofpractical student research and engineering design
as the foundation of this research. Schar et al. [5] also found strong andsignificant correlation between ISE.5, the Innovation Interests (INI) scale, and the Career Goals:Innovative Work (CGIW) scale. Assessing students in each of these scales can provide evenfurther insight into innovative self-efficacy’s impact on student goals.There is a gap in the literature regarding the inherent innovation benefits to teachers themselvesthrough the design and development of lesson plans for students. While it is common knowledgethat the best way to learn is to teach, this generally refers to improving understanding of specificmaterial as opposed to improving self-efficacy and competence in questioning, observing,experimenting, idea networking, and

Since the lessons were optional, the inverted classroom was not used in thissemester but rather a traditional lecture setting. Therefore, this semester has been included in thetraditional lecture results. Also, it can be seen in many of the results below that the data from thespring 2018 semester falls between the old (traditional lecture) and new (inverted classroom)averages, indicating that the addition of the online adaptive homework had an impact on theresults, but not as much as the full courseware package or inverted classroom experience.

In this paper, we present acurriculum design for teaching technology across a CEM curriculum and evaluate theeffectiveness of this curriculum both in terms of knowledge transfer and learning.Literature ReviewIn recent years studies such as [7], determined the technical and personal abilities required ofyoung professionals by today’s construction industry: today’s CEM graduates need to havestrong collaboration and teamwork skills; they need to have a broader perspective of the issuesthat concern their profession such as social, environmental, and economic; and finally, they needto know how to apply fundamental engineering science and computer skills in practice. Thispaper focuses primarily on this

They weighed the prototypes, measured the max deflection at failure,and recorded the maximum weight their prototype held before failing to calculate the design’sactual factor of safety. This project satisfied the institutional outcome for physical prototypingand allowed the students to put in practice all the design principles that were presentedthroughout the course. Since there was not a third mid-term exam, this project also helped assessthe lesson outcomes after the second mid-term exam, including flexural stress, second momentof area, beam deflection, downselection, and modeling and prototyping.For the
Mechanics CourseAbstract This evidence-based practice paper will assess the impact of reflecting on student learninglevels as compared to typical assessments of understanding (quizzes) in a fluid mechanics course. Problem solving skills are critical to becoming an effective engineer. With minimalapplication opportunities for upper-level course material in the typical engineering curriculum,students are often not sufficiently prepared to accomplish rigorous design projects in industryimmediately following graduation. Having the requisite knowledge is only one part of the task;being able to effectively utilize and apply prior knowledge requires more advanced learningoutcomes. Fluid mechanics is a lecture-based course in which deep
