the effectiveness of the applied/active learning activities and to see ifthey correlate with an increase in later success in Engineering courses, we analyzed studentperformance in the Applied Mechanics I class. The current prerequisite to the AppliedMechanics I class is Physics for Engineers I. Before the redesign of Physics curriculum theprerequisite was PHYS 215, Engineering Physics I, which was a traditional Physics class. It washeavily oriented towards theory and the lab components were rather disjointed with thetheoretical learning activities. We compared the Applied Mechanics I class final grade pointaverage (which reflects all assignment grades, including homework, quizzes, and a total of threeexams) as a measure of the performance

study cited interest or skill in building or putting things togetheras reasons they could not become an engineer, suggesting that some students see engineering asfor builders or makers, but not for them. Other students said they could not become engineersbecause they were not creative or didn’t know how to ideate. Several students said they couldbecome engineers but would not because they planned to pursue another career of interest. It ispossible that all of these students might find engineering more appealing if they saw their ownskills and interests reflected in engineering. For example, we note that six girls and one boyplanned to become veterinarians; perhaps these students would be drawn toward engineering ifthey were aware of ways to

For example,Batya, an 18 year old African-American girl who came to the program from a large city,explained that she took the time to reflect and think whether and how participation in theprogram would be beneficial to her. She described having conversations with her design teacherand several women in her family. Batya described that making and building was something thatshe was used to doing alongside her brothers: “Growing up I have all brothers. So being aroundgirls and doing stuff that I would normally do with boys, it, kind of I guess, not changes myperspective, but widens it. So, I might be more comfortable personally just working doing thingsthat I wouldn't normally do with

A WSN may have one or multiple base-stationswhich collect data from all sensory devices. These base-stations serve as the interface throughwhich the WSN interacts with the outside world [2]. The basic premise of a WSN is to performnetworked sensing using many relatively rudimentary sensors instead of utilizing the moreconventional approach of developing a few expensive and sophisticated sensing modules [2].The potential advantage of networked sensing over the conventional approach, can besummarized as greater coverage, accuracy

Furthermore, this particular sentiment is mimicked by the strict and more moderndefining of the entrepreneurial mindset as being one that “reflects deep cognitive phenomena,” including“particularly deep beliefs and assumptions” (Krueger, 2015). This increased rigor in the definition ofentrepreneurial mindset coupled with an expansion of survey instruments designed to create dimensionsendemic to it is promising, but it is still too early to determine the future of this line of study.In the spirit of sharing our work, we have composed this brief work-in-progress as an addendum to
