Her current research is focused on concept generation, accessibility in 3D printing, and effectively teaching first-year engineering with hands-on design projects. Dr. de Vries was recently named Erie 40 Under 40: Class of 2020 and received a 2017 Marshall Space Flight Faculty Fellowship at NASA in which she worked in Huntsville, AL for a summer assisting NASA engineers (specifically members of the Environmental Controls and Life Support Systems) in concept generation.

Users canexamine the dependence of frictional losses on flow rate and Reynolds in real-time from outsidethe laboratory building and with little supervision. So far, the project has been pilot tested withstudents performing a lab for extra credit in the Fluid Mechanics class in Fall 2021.

Through experience, studentslearn new skills, struggle through challenging moments or complicated ideas, and developfacility manipulating concepts and working through processes. Active, project-based, inquiry andsensemaking activities also provide students opportunities for teamwork and help create a senseof accomplishment and interest.There are many engineering practices, and many ways to engage students in such practices.These need to vary

Scholars would pursue a project to advanceDEI efforts in MEAM, and would become full members of the MEAM DEI Task Force.However, there were so many applicants (19 in total) and good ideas, that another stage wasadded to help narrow down the applicant pool (see Appendix B for follow-up communication).Again, the Task Force was faced with several strong applications that could be roughly sortedinto three themes: 1) Mentoring programs, 2) A DEI minor, and 3) Recruiting & communitybuilding. The Task Force decided to award three $2,500 scholarships to the three strongestapplicants (DEI Scholars) but also chose to award smaller grants of $250 each to one or more“DEI Associates” whose proposals fell in the same general thematic area as the DEI

Engineering students mustundergo a substantial and comprehensive curriculum during their undergraduate years—aspects ofthe curriculum are often described as being stressful. Progression through the engineeringcurriculum can be stressful because the students are expected to perform well with a significantworkload in the form of projects and other required homework. Consequently, to meet suchdemands, students may not be able to enjoy their campus life [4]. Excessive

Students observe andexperience the behavior of this unconventional type of antenna. It is expected that this projectwill further their interest in conventional and unconventional antenna types. While the antennasetup does not achieve the best performance, the project has removed the “mystery surroundingthe plasma antenna”, demonstrated that a conductive gas can indeed radiate RF signals, and waslow cost (<100$ excluding RF source).With respect to pedagogy, there are more questions to be answered.
