AbstractScience, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) teaching strategies that engage studentsand create an atmosphere of community are desperately needed to recruit, retain, and bestprepare students in STEM fields to address challenges facing the 21st Century. Research showsthat student performance and persistence in a STEM degree is associated primarily with threeaspects of their experience: intellectual engagement and

A cost-effective design is generated with three core principles: 1) Low Cost, 2) Low Maintenance, and 3)Concept Visualization. This is achieved through the following description of the apparatus. Theacrylic-plastic chamber has a square base with a designated height. At the bottom of the chamber,there is a rectangular section removed to act as an inlet to the chamber. A high powered

Such project-based learning opportunities are commonlyemployed in senior design courses as a culminating experience but are typically heldindependently within each discrete discipline or department. While this simplifies theadministration of the courses, it foregoes the opportunity for multidisciplinary collaboration.Upon graduation and gaining employment, students are likely to find themselves on a projectteam that integrates people of varied engineering disciplines and educational backgrounds.
