In the future, qualitative data will be collected from the joint capstonesequence to compare students’ experiences in the classroom as well as their career preparation.IntroductionA capstone course

During the deliberations identifying a project, cohortmembers often find that their final products require that they convey scientific and engineeringinformation to a range of different audiences, both within and outside of scientific communities. Students in the Cohort Challenges are often interested in having final projects that arehelpful in pursuing academic careers. Thus, many of the Cohort Challenges have producedmanuscripts for publications [15]–[17] and presentations at professional conferences, includingannual meetings of the Community Informatics Research Network and ASA-CSSA-SSSAInternational Conference[18], [19].

Women in EngineeringThe hands-on learning device of interest fosters a group learning environment while depictingdirect applications to the medical field, i.e., impacts on human health and well-being, which arecritical components of engaging women in STEM. In 2011, Brawner et al. created focus groupsfor junior- and senior-level women-identifying undergraduate students and conducted in-personinterviews to better understand why women choose chemical engineering as a major [4]. Fromtheir early work, flexibility in career options was highlighted as a key factor in choosing chemicalengineering for all 10 students interviewed. Additionally, 5 out of the 10 women noted they wereconsidering medical school, and chemical engineering provides strong

In addition to providingstudents a strong technical foundation, the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloohas taken a two-pronged approach to providing students this important training: mandatory co-operative work terms, which have been present since the University’s inception; and morerecently, using industry-driven design problems as a base to provide students with formativepractice of these skills in the Engineering Ideas Clinic, which will be the focus of this paper.Jonassen, in his typology of problems [5

In addition it is necessary to develop intuition and make judicious approximationsthat can help one predict the larger impact of circuit level parameters. Meeting these learningobjectives within a course can be challenging. A higher stress on analytical study of devices cannegatively impact intuition needed to make the right approximations in analyzing circuits withmany transistors. At the same time, adequate knowledge of fundamentals is needed to ensure thatanalysis has indeed yielded a solution that is correct. In this paper we present the changesintroduced in an

Unfortunately, only around 16% of high school seniors are bothproficient in math and interested in STEM fields [4]. Only 17% of bachelor’s degrees awarded toU.S. citizens are in STEM fields [5], and roughly 30% of chemistry and physics teachers in U.S.public high schools did not major in these fields and
