Background and Relevant LiteratureDesign for the Environment is a class of approximately 30 undergraduate engineering studentsand is comprised of juniors and seniors from all disciplines. The class size is maintained at amaximum of 30, in part so the school’s maker spaces can be utilized for in-class activities andprototyping. The course covers fundamental concepts, including sustainability designframeworks, the design process and the role of innovation, life cycle assessment, and toxicityand risk, as well as focused case studies on topics such as energy, water, agriculture

seek to gather data from large sample sizes that provide strong evidence for possible trends.We recognize that our current methodology is not feasible for a larger-scale study implementedby course instructors nationwide, as it requires work on the part of the instructor. We aredeveloping standardized problems and an accompanying questionnaire that can be easilyintegrated as a homework problem in the appropriate course(s). We will use online datacollection, and point-of-collection consent, to minimize any work for the course instructor.To further support standardization, we will not be using previous simulation tools such asGMAT but rather are developing simulation tools that can be run on software commonly used byengineering students, such as

toengineering education because of the link between identity formation, critical for entry andretention into a discipline, and the lack of diversity in United States engineering: “undergraduateengineering education is dominated by [w]hite males. The majority of all bachelor degreesawarded in engineering are to [w]hite males”[4],[5]. Thinking about students’ meaningful writingexperiences as related to enagement may be a way to further examine engagement as a “precursorto persistence”[6].Defining meaningful writing is important to understand its distinction. In the Meaningful WritingProject, Eodice, Geller, & Lerner [3] define meaningful writing as  Agentive: develop[s] a sense of agency about [students] as writers, learners, and thinkers

Theoretically, the ADS-B Out device broadcasts a data frame once per second,which contains the basic flight parameters, such as aircraft identity, surface position data,airborne position data, airborne velocity, and other operational data [12]. The ADS-B receiverremains operational constantly to intercept the ADS-B Out messages for data

document any conflict of interest.Forming a CompanyThere are several types of companies (LLC, C-Corp, S-Corp, etc.) and your SBDC probably hasresources to help explain the differences. An LLC is quick and easy to form either through yourSBDC, online via sites like LegalZoom.com, or through a startup-friendly lawyer, and can beconverted to a C-Corp later. However, if you plan to take on venture capital early, you may wantto start with a C-Corp. Some incubator and accelerator programs facilitate this process, and otheruseful startup sites have templates to help with the paperwork [12].If you are a solo founder at this point, the paperwork is straightforward. However, if you haveco-founders, you will likely want to set up an operating agreement early

This theoretical paper draws from our own experiencesin working with culturally diverse youth, as well as methodological literature on qualitativeinquiry writ large, to expand Walther et al.’s framework by making it account more robustly forlinguistic and culturalism pluralism, and specifically for linguistic and cultural differencesamong researchers and participants in engineering education.In this paper, we use Walther, Sochacka, and Kellam’s framework as a starting point foridentifying strategies for ensuring quality in qualitative research

Out of a total of 134 students (40 in the CURE section, 94 in the traditional lecturesection), only two changed sections after the first day of class, and this was for schedulingreasons. We note that for this pilot semester, the CURE section started with 110 available seats,and the traditional section had 100 available seats. We think the large difference in studentsregistered was a function of schedules for the S’18 semester.Pilot Program: Research Activities & AssignmentsIn the CURE section of IE271, there are now four research experiences involving the followingtopics: time study and line balancing, ergonomic risk and

leak-free or airtight systems such as in plastic(micro) fluidic systems, e.g., for point-of-care lab-on-a-chip systems.An ultrasonic weld is made by bringing the working surface of a horn (sonotrode) connected toan ultrasonic transducer in close contact with two workpieces that have been positioned andaligned. The vibrating horn pressed onto the surface of the workpiece(s) creates ultrasonic(10,000 to 30,000 Hz) waves that travel through the workpiece. The ultrasonic waves incombination with applied force, create a vibration-induced frictional heating at the matingsurfaces of the parts, leading to surface melting and subsequent fusion.Ultrasonic welding is a relatively fast (1 sec per weld), clean process that does not requireadhesives

results in lower performance averages by students compared to PSVT:R problems forthis population. It is expected, based on Reusch et al.’s results [22], that there is a higherdifficulty level on the MCT problems used. This, in turn, may have been reflected by themoderate increase in EDA when we consider dividing this value by the time expended on theMCT problem-set as can be estimated from the two Figure 3 graphs (e.g., 0.05microSiemens/minute for MCT). The preliminary results of this pilot study corroborate thesefindings by suggesting a higher normalized arousal (or mean range-corrected EDA/timed event)found in these types of problems compared to PSVT:R (0.13 microSiemens/minute) and Staticsproblems (0.01 microSiemens/minute) (Figure 3).Parallel
