tweets categorization show that most of the tweets were aboutpromoting different events, providing information to a resource through an external link, orportraying engineers. Many companies and educational institutes tweeted and posted photos ofemployees and students participating in different activities held to celebrate and promote theNational Engineers Week. The tweets portraying engineers were mostly from companies in whichthey highlighted the contributions of engineers at their respective companies. Majority of thesetweets also contained a photo of engineer(s) at the workplace. A number of tweets wereinspirational in nature targeting the general public. Many of the inspirational tweets specificallyfocused on students and women. Tweets about
aligned system in Figure 1, institutional programs and policies are not able to movemany individuals themselves. Their energy transfers to individuals via champion(s) and sage(s)who help groups of individuals work together to learn and to enact change. At DIT, this created asense of movement that has encouraged more and more individuals to get involved and toimplement changes. The process wherein individuals contemplate and adopt new behaviors isrepresented by the belt (which moves from left to right in this machine) as defined by Prochaska,Redding, and Evers (2002). With increasing personal involvement, the changes scaled-up andbecame more sustainable. This suggests triple loop learning, as described by Senge (1991), has atleast begun to occur
mostly as an archive and is useful when reflecting on the current state of the project or when planning the next stage of the project. In Scrum, these would be called "sprint retrospective" and “sprint planning” stages, respectively. 7. Journal: This is used to keep track of dates of meetings and decisions made. It helps the team and instructor(s) track their activity. There should be at least one in-person team meeting outside of the classroom (lecture or lab time). It can be done using online tools, e.g., Hangouts, Skype or similar.Depending on the details of a project, more columns can be added. However, having too manycolumns can make information more obscure so this should be used with care.2.4. Trello CardsOnce
mainprogrammatic components aimed at improving the engagement, retention, and graduation ofstudents underrepresented in engineering. These components include: “intrusive” academicadvising and support services, an intensive first-year academic curriculum, community-building(including pre-matriculation summer programs), career awareness and vision, facultymentorship, NSF S-STEM scholarships, and second-year support. Successful implementation ofthese activities is intended to produce two main long-term outcomes: a six-year graduation rateof 60%-75% for Redshirt students, and increased rates of enrollment and graduation of Pell-eligible, URM, and women students in engineering at participating universities. In the first yearof the grant (AY 16-17), SSPs

The daily, weekly, monthly and multi-annualaverage wind speeds were compiled and analyzed for several locations to accommodate the Gulf region,centered on Louisiana. The annual average wind speed these areas are ranging from 4m/s to 6.0 m/s, asshown in in Figure 3a. This is a good wind regime, with a potential of providing power to the WSN mostof the year. Solar radiation levels typically range from 3700 to 5700 Wh/m2/day. The solar radiation
taught by a peer. In thecourses, students are required to use ADS to finish a practical design of a microwave device for acourse project. The main purpose is to show students how to verify their paper designs throughsimulation and to introduce students to practical matters they may see in industry. This includesexploring the impact of microstrip bend and tee artifacts in order to make a practical deviceconform to specific ports on a fixture. Students can adjust their designs to re tune their deviceswhen these practical matters are added. Students also use ADS to explore concepts such asvariability in device dimensions or reverse engineering an existing layout given mask dimensionsand measured S parameters. The ADS projects are easily implemented
in STEM careers is because the culture ofSTEM, especially engineering and analytical areas, is a limiting culture devoid of what femalesseems to prefer, empathy and social caring [8]-[10].However, measuring constructs such as interest is complex because of the interactive anddynamic nature of constructs with one another, that the constructs are usually self-reported, andthat few standardized measurement terms exist [11]. STEM can be considered as one contentarea or four content areas. We often ask our students to describe STEM. They usually answer bystating the letters S, T, E, and M stand for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, butdo not state any concept of what “STEM” means. The term STEM is thought to originate withthe

Ad-hoc persona with scenario narrative.Reflect on ad-hoc pre-work. The goals of the ad-hoc pre-work were to (1) develop and pilot ourpersona/scenario development processes and to (2) reflect on our assumptions and potentialbiases about STEM students before constructing the data driven usage model. In reviewing ourad-hoc personas and scenarios, our obvious bias toward engineering students was evident.
