She received her B.S. in biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and her Ph.D. in Bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Mapping Writing Concepts Across an Undergraduate Physics Curriculum Abstract Technical communication is essential for a career in physics, but communication skills are often not explicitly taught in physics undergraduate curricula. As a starting point for curricular integration, we investigated where and how writing is currently occurring in the core undergraduate physics courses at

as polytechnicinstitutions. Engineering has not, however, been broadly embraced by liberal arts institutions,often being seen as being overly career-focused and not sufficiently broad in its educationalapproach. Liberal arts institutions also tend to be much smaller in size, which can make itchallenging to furnish an engineering program with the specialized facilities and equipment itrequires. Furthermore, liberal arts institutions typically have comparatively larger core curricula,which can make it challenging to design a robust engineering curriculum that is completable infour years.A few small engineering colleges exist (e.g. Harvey Mudd, Rose-Hulman, and Olin College)whose enrollment ranges from a few hundred to a couple thousand

intricate problems that maybe challenging for typical algorithms in the traditional engineering curriculum. With theexplosive proliferation of embedded systems, and the IoT, controlling complex actuators andsensors in real time is increasingly feasible. Many engineering applications generate vastamounts of data, and deep learning algorithms are effective at recognizing patterns andextracting meaningful insights from these large datasets [5]. Thus, an appreciation of deeplearning methods will contribute to better engineering decision-making processes [6]. Inaddition, deep learning enables better automation, optimization, and control [7]. From designoptimization to production planning, engineers can leverage deep learning to streamlineworkflows and

curriculum design framework to develop creative, hands-on activities geared at girls in grades 11-12 in a weekend outreach STEM event called “Reachingthe Sky”. The curriculum wanted to relate to the girls daily lives and show social relevance. Theprogram used an all-female team of both higher education educators and science, engineering,and mathematics undergraduate students to create and implement a variety of activities. Thestudy found that after the outreach program participants left with additional knowledge of STEMfields and were more likely to pursue a STEM career based on questionnaires that theparticipants took upon completion of the weekend event. By focusing on a primary context anddeveloping the curriculum around it the study was

one breath) and FEV1 (forced expiratory volume – the total amount of air exhaled in one second)which are the two indicators of breathing/lung issues. To do this, we will code the calculationsdescribed below:Starting with raw data values in volts: 1. Convert to meters/second. This process is described with the sensor’s specifications. 2. Multiply wind velocity (m/s) x area of tube that air is flowing through (m2) = volume of air flowing past a point per second (m3/s). 3. For volume of air exhaled in one breath: total volume from beginning of change in wind flow to end (m3) calculated with an integral. 4. For volume of air exhaled in one second: total volume of air exhaled in one breath (m3)/ /total time (s
