IntroductionScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields are essential to America'seconomic growth and global competitiveness. However, there is a mismatch between the supplyand growing demand for STEM-skilled workers. According to the 2016 White House Report [1],there were over a million unfilled jobs in information technology across all sectors of theeconomy. The STEM workforce has grown

The goal of this research effort was to extend the pedagogy of hands-on learninginto the ME and AE curricula, tackling mechanical and thermal applications. This paper gives anoverview on those activities as well as efforts to assess the effectiveness of the learningenhancements. Furthermore, because the hands-on experiments are often used in a collaborativeway in student teams, the research has also studied the role of gender and ethnicity in the studentteams, developing best practices for building effective teams formed from diverse students.1.

Under this model, undergraduate students receive a stipend or course credit toserve as facilitators of student thinking for a course they have already taken. When interactingwith students during class sessions, learning assistants (LAs) typically focus on asking open-ended questions to prompt sense-making [4], [5]. They focus on supporting the learning processrather than on tasks typically associated with traditional teaching assistants, such as providinghomework solutions or grading exams. LAs are trained in student-centered pedagogy through aweekly “pedagogy seminar” offered specifically for them and led by an instructor with expertisein science or engineering education [6].Empirical studies

To this end, many engineering students recognize their disciplines may have asignificant impact on society [2] and report being moderately motivated by social good to enterengineering [3]. However, previous research has also shown that many students enterengineering majors for reasons other than the social good, including flexibility of major andcareer opportunities [4], interest in math and science, desire to build things [3], inherentenjoyment [3], and financial benefits [3].

For example, the National Science Foundation hasreported that women’s involvement in engineering academic programs and professions hasdecreased, or has increased at disproportionately slow rates, since 1990 [2]. Furthermore, of thenearly 2 million students who completed the American College Test (ACT) in 2006, just onepercent of women expressed a measured interest in engineering [1].

More specifically, we leveraged recent theoretical advances in the field of Coevolutionary Computation to study student vs. practice problems interactions. The term Coevolutionary-Aided Teaching (CAT) was coined to ¯ describe this research agenda. At its core lies the study and application of coevolutionary dynamics to an educational problem-domain.

as well as in industry [1][5][6]. The reasons for success and failure of projects are well-documented: 57% of projects in the industry fail due to “breakdown in communications”; 39% ofthem fail due to lack of planning, resources, and activities; and 33% of projects fail because of alack of involvement from senior management [12]. Just like in industry, we have seen severalsenior design projects fail due to similar project management related issues. Poor time planning,a dominant team member, one or more team-member not performing, poor communicationwithin the team or with the instructor/sponsor/client/customer, poorly executed project plans (allserial and insufficient parallel activities), and poorly understood critical paths which reduce

. Background on VAWTsAccording to the Minnesota Department of Commerce, “wind is an increasingly significantsource of energy in Minnesota” [1]. The majority of growth in wind energy has beenaccomplished with horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs), typically in large arrays or “windfarms” that produce utility scale amounts of power. However, small-scale systems have also seenlarge growth, 35% in 2012, with particular attractiveness for rural and agricultural areas [2]. TheNational Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) suggests that greater use of small wind turbinesin the built environment can positively affect the public perception of wind energy [3].An alternative to the HAWT design is the vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). A VAWT spinsaround a vertical

, the feedback comes more quickly. An author canusually see the feedback as soon as the reviewer provides it, rather than having to wait until theinstructor or TA is finished grading all the students. Finally, peer assessment forces students towrite in a way that their peers can understand. They can’t use shorthand that the instructor, withhis/her superior knowledge, is expected to decipher. They learn to write for an audience of theirpeers, which is exactly the skill they need for later in their careers.
