, heinbr@gmail.com c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Learning Physics in the Millennial AgeAbstractPhysics is a subject area that, like many others, requires a specific and rather well-definedskillset. This skillset includes the ability to solve problems which involve, at minimum, anunderstanding of basic algebra. The level of mathematics required often depends upon thepopulation of students a particular physics class is geared for. Non-majors studying physicstypically need to have a working knowledge of basic algebra, while science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors need to have some basic calculus under their belts.To promote deeper learning in physics

performance computing (HPC) is necessary toscience and engineering disciplines to answer the most basic research questions and to solvetechnical problems of national need. In July of 2016 the White House released a report called theNational Strategic Computing Initiative​2​ which is a call to “maximize the benefits of highperformance computing (HPC) research, development, and deployment.” These reports andothers indicate the need for increased computational power and technological training for scienceand engineering research and innovation and for national security. The increased use of HPC willrequire training more scientists and engineers to appropriately use HPC in their work and moregenerally in deploying and using cyberinfrastructure (CI

laboratory development, antennas, wireless communications, sig- nal processing, and instrumentation.Shane P. Corbett, USCGA Shane Corbett is currently a senior electrical engineering student at the US Coast Guard Academy. At an early age Shane found himself tinkering with electronics more than he would like to admit. His parents feared buying him new pieces of technology because inevitably they would end in pieces on a work bench next to a kid with a smile on. Once accepted to the USCGA Shane took his curiosity to the classroom and began his studies within the EE major. After an antennas course his junior year he found himself perplexed at the intricacies of this field of study. He then pursued an internship at MIT
