process, and familiarize theparticipants on the instrumentation and control aspects that have broad applications includingnuclear. The workshop featured carefully developed lectures, as well as lab/in-class demonstrationsand a hands-on project involving parts integration, coding, and testing. Thus, besides disseminatingthe fundamental knowledge on nuclear power, the workshop had appealing and meaningful elementsthat educators can use to encourage students towards STEM field in general. Following theworkshop, educators implemented the modular lessons into their curriculum, and reached out adiverse student population in North Texas at high, middle, and elementary school grades at theirinstitutions
1 Session XXXX An Interactive Approach to Teaching Moment Equilibrium Using Virtual Surgical Planning (Work in Progress) Anne-Marie Ginn-Hedman Department of Biomedical Engineering Texas A&M University AbstractIntroductory static mechanic courses traditionally have limited practical examples for biomedicalengineering students. We therefore created a virtual lab where students can apply classroomknowledge to solve clinical

engineering(Hispanics, African Americans, and women), are discouraged by being grouped with peers whohave coding experience or have otherwise been involved with computers before.Computer Science service classes will continue to encompass students from many diverse majors, asmore degree plans require a coding class. Coding does not always come easy for these students. Thispaper examines assignment choice in an undergraduate CS-1 course. Guided by the SelfDetermination Theory, the authors will implement assignment choice as a means for students to plana path to meet the course learning objectives. We will integrate the choices in the curriculum intoCanvas, the Learning Management System, and provide a course grade calculator to students.Students

for only the two online sections. This wasdone for two reasons. enrollment for the online sections (30 and 20 students) is considerably much largerthan that of the live section (13 students), and because the instructor felt that the micro-lessons wouldhave a larger impact on online students since they have less opportunities to interact with the instructor.Over the seven-week period in which the study was conducted, the instructor integrated five micro-lessons within the existing curriculum. The topics of these micro-lessons were: • Micro-lesson 1: chain corrections • Micro-lesson 2: profile leveling using Excel • Micro-lesson 3: bearing computations • Micro-lesson 4: balancing latitudes and departures • Micro-lesson
, an integrated “experiential learning” thatincludes all modes of learning is reported to be effective for knowledge acquisition [12-14].Experiential learning includes four processes: Concrete Experience (CE), Reflective Observation(RO), Abstract Conceptualization (AC), and Active Experiments (AE).

A T-shaped channel allows mounting various fixtures on the extrusion facilitating various statics and dynamics problems set up in 3D space.

-generation college students in the design contest, indicating that design contests can serve toincrease confidence and more fully develop the needed technical and professional skill sets for theseunderrepresented groups.Although experiential learning has historically been reserved for the senior year and more recentlyincorporated into many Freshman curricula, data from the WERC Environmental Design Contestindicate the value of filling the gap between the Freshman and Senior years with an engineeringdesign contest as an out-of-class instructional vehicle. IntroductionWorkforce development in the undergraduate engineering curriculum serves two primaryconstituents: students and their prospective employers. The
School of EngineeringEducation, Purdue University, USA. She also has an MS and MSc degree in computer science. Her researchprogram is to help develop students' understanding of conceptually challenging concepts in STEM courses andincludes 1) design of innovative (e.g., technology-mediated, integrated STEM) learning environments. 2) design,implement, and measure the effectiveness of emergent and inclusive curriculum units, courses, and programs. and 3)evaluate the effectiveness of instructional strategies. She was awarded the 2020 outstanding researcher award by theSchool of Engineering Education, Purdue University. Also, she is the recipient of the Apprentice Faculty GrantAward, 2022, by the ERM division. Recently her research was awarded NSTA
WorldHealth Organization, drowning has been overlooked by governments and research bodies as apublic health issue [4]. One in five drowning victims is a child under fourteen [5]. Over 50% ofAmericans do not know how to swim and 61% of American children cannot swim [6, 7].Improving and further integrating swimming safety with education is thus of vital importance.With the rising popularity of water resistant smartwatches, we hope to explore ways to improveswimming techniques and reduce the impact of poor swimming skills on drowning.Water competency is difficult to define, and its very definition has changed in recent years. Thismeans that creating a more unified curriculum for swimming education, particularly in children,has long been a complex
. Programming is an abstract thinking process that involves critical thinking andcomputational design. Without effective programming references, it is challenging for students tolearn programming, as well as for instructors to teach programming.To overcome these challenges, this paper proposed developing on-line personalized adaptive learning(PAL) tools through integrating state-of-the-art pedagogies with deep learning technologies toenhance programming skills of engineering students, especially at HBCUs. PAL is an emergingpedagogical approach enabled by smart learning environments. AI techniques such as machinelearning have been successfully applied to improve the recommendation satisfaction by identifyingPAL patterns in online education and
