This application, which addressed Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET)’s Criterion 3 and Criterion 5c, was implemented in a four-credit hour(ch) senior-level applied fluid mechanics course, with a 3ch lecture and 1ch laboratorycomponent. The course is the second in fluid mechanics’ sequence and covers topics likepipeline systems design, pump selection, flow of air in ducts, lift and drag, etc. The originalinstructional design used a blend of traditional in-class lectures and problem-based learningfocused on project-based and other laboratory exercises.To further improve the students

Thisis important as finding a way to identify at-risk students at the beginning of the semester, such thatthey can be pointed towards resources that will improve their chances of academic success beforethey begin to encounter issues and other academic setbacks will ultimately lead to more successfulengineering students, graduates, and productive careers. We therefore succeed in finding attributesthat identify which students need more attention from professors and academic advisors.References [1] K. L. Lewis, J. G. Stout, N. D. Finkelstein, S. J.

They define ideological convergence as the “the narrowing ofthe field of ideological stances that are salient and seen as useful as individuals participating in ajoint activity”, and ideological divergence as the corresponding expanding of ideological stances.They note ideological convergence is not

understand who girlsselected as role models and how they perceived their OEs. Therefore, we began by asking girlsabout role models in a general sense. Specifically, we asked them “Do you have a role model?”,and if so, we asked them to identify their role model(s) and to explain why they chose thatperson (or people) as a role model (or role models). We then shifted our questioning to focusmore specifically on perceptions of the OEs by asking girls, “Would any of your OEs be a rolemodel for you?” We followed this up the next semester by asking, “Could any of your OEs be arole model for you?” Next, we directly asked girls, “Are any of your OEs a role model for you?”and asked them to explain why or why not.
