We focused on instructing and equipping chemicalengineering faculty rather than students to scale our efforts to reach the target student audiencefor the overall goal of
Paper ID #38017Experiential Learning in Virtual RealitiesProf. Hugh L. McManus, Northeastern University Hugh McManus is an Associate Teaching Professor at Northeastern University. He uses active and simulation-based learning techniques to teach complex and context-dependent subjects such as quality and process improvement, and co-supervises the Industrial Engineering Capstone Program. He is also Adjunct Faculty in the Loyola Marymount Healthcare Systems Engineering program, and a Member of the Faculty at Kaiser Permanente School of Medicine, where he teaches lean for healthcare processes. He creates and distributes lean
, University of Idaho Dr. Beyerlein has taught at the University of Idaho for the last 35 years. His scholarly interests include design pedagogy, program assessment, engine testing, and industrial energy conservation. He was the Mechanical Engineering department chair from 2015 to 2020. He is now retired, but remains involved in the freshman introduction to engineering and multi-disciplinary capstone design programs.Dr. John Crepeau, University of Idaho Professor John Crepeau received his BS degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Califor- nia, Berkeley, and his MS and PhD degrees from the University of Utah. After serving as an NSF-NATO Postdoctoral Research Fellow, he began teaching at th
the program names contribute to some of these challenges,leading to questions about whether rebranding to a different name might be beneficial. Otherstudies have explored renaming motivations and results in geography [13], agronomy [14],writing programs [15], vocational education [16], and institutions [17], [18]. There is a generalconsensus that names are powerful, and changes often reveal tensions with the health and/oridentity of programs. Frazier et al. [13, p. 13] notes: “Do name changes reflect an expandedmission… or other goals such as addressing low enrollment, shifting student interests, or thedesire to project a fresh identity or realign with a new academic emphasis?” There may also beconcern about name recognition or conveying the
Paper ID #37969Toy Adaptation in a Laboratory Course: An Examination of LaboratoryInterests and Career MotivationsDr. Alyssa Catherine Taylor, University of California, San Diego Dr. Alyssa Taylor is an Associate Teaching Professor in the Shu Chien-Gene Lay Department of Bioengi- neering at the University of California San Diego. Dr. Taylor has twelve years of experience teaching across bioengineering laboratory, introductory, and capstone design classes. Through work such as toy adaptation described in this paper, Dr. Taylor seeks to prepare students to engage in Universal Design and consider accessibility in their
Paper ID #38851Literature Exploration of Graduate Student Well-Being as Related toAdvisingDr. Liesl Klein, Villanova University Liesl Krause-Klein is a assistant teaching professor at Villanova University in their electrical and computer engineering department. She graduated from Purdue University’s Polytechnic institute in 2022. Her research focused on student well-being. She is currently in charge of curriculum for capstone projects within her department.Dr. Greg J. Strimel, Purdue University at West Lafayette (PPI) Greg J. Strimel, Ph.D., is an associate professor of Technology Leadership and Innovation and program
engineers, students will be comforted to know they can achieve success inengineering and be prepared for the issues they will face in the field. By including social contextfor engineering design, the next generation of engineers will create socially conscious designs andfight for equity in their future careers. This inclusion of social context should be in the forms ofcase studies, debates, or role play, capstone projects rather than just historical examples, whichwill teach students how to critically think about such issues and consider ways in which largersocial structures serve to empower or disenfranchise people. Furthermore, education shouldinclude inclusivity training to discuss issues of equality and inclusion, including gender equity inthe
University of Colorado Boulder. Her teaching focuses on fate and transport of contaminants, capstone design and aqueous chemistry. Dr. Bolhari is passionate about broad- ening participation in engineering through community-based participatory action research. Her research interests explore the boundaries of engineering and social science to understand evolution of resilience capacity at family and community level to sustainable practices utilizing quantitative and qualitative re- search methods.Dr. Daniel Ivan Castaneda, James Madison University Daniel I. Castaneda is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering at James Madison Univer- sity. Daniel earned his PhD in 2016 and his Master’s in 2010, both in civil
facilitate learning elements of programming in the context of thelaboratory experiment.Integration of scientific inquiry. The physics tasks consisted of hands-on activities usingPASCO equipment and PASCO Capstone software, which are aligned with the three principlesdefined by course textbook (i.e., linear momentum, energy, and angular momentum principles),along with guided activities in Python programming.Students engaged in two ED challenges throughout the laboratory sessions. This study focusedon the first ED challenges that worked as an introduction to design experience for the students.The next section describes in detail this first design challenge.Engineering Design ChallengeStudents completed the first design challenge in labs 0 through 5
