Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Improving STEM Education by Analyzing the Design of a BottleAbstractSTEM education for students is an essential aspect of today’s education since it leads to greaterdevelopment in the modern world and more technological achievements. Achieving this sort ofeducation can be done by performing an engineering analysis to determine the volume content ofa wine bottle. The project conducted here was to determine the volume of a wine bottle bymeasuring it at various points and using mathematics to perform this real-world analysis. Itsobjective is not only to reflect on what was done but to introduce it as a STEM-related project toencourage new growth within the STEM fields. There was also extended reasoning

IntroductionThe digital universe (the data we create and copy annually) is doubling every two years and willreach 44 zettabytes (44 trillion gigabytes) in 2020 [1]. The stored digital data volume has grownexponentially over the past few years [2, 3]. In 1986, only three exabytes of data existed and in2011 it went up to 300 exabytes [3], and at the end of 2020 it might

name is Berrak Seren Tekalp, I am from Turkey, and I am a junior in Industrial Engineering at Quin- nipiac University. I have a mathematics and a general business minor. Beginning in my sophomore year, I’ve done many academic types of research with my professors. In these projects, I have used advanced features within the IBM SPSS Statistics and Excel programs. I am a hard and reliable worker. I have been able to expand my communication skills, and through my time as an active member of multiple student organizations and engineering groups at Quinnipiac. I’ve led numerous meetings and club projects. I am comfortable with working in teams. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020

complete picture of students’learning/proficiency, so assessment method will include, at a minimum, individual and groupquizzes/tests, authentic performance tasks, portfolios (and possibly projects), observations andinterviews. The most relevant types of assessment in this case are formative (multiple timesduring the instruction process), summative (to be focused on student’s comprehension), andinterim assessments. The idea of explaining STEM material in visual and intuitive ways is not new. Forexample, Tyler DeWitt [1] taught high school students the topic of isotopes. He explained thatisotopes are basically the same atom using an analogy involving similar cars with minor changes.There are a few calculus textbooks that include visual

In this paper wedescribe a course on deep learning taught four times in a mathematics department to a total ofover 100 students, 93% of whom were undergraduates. The goals of the course are to: • use the mathematics background of STEM majors to develop, from first principles, the key concepts used in deep learning. • expose students to empirical modeling. • expose students to the advantages of machine learning over machine programming. • inspire students to use deep learning in their future work.Organizing PrinciplesCourses can be organized either from a top-down

ready for Calculus the following fallwithout the need for a summer course or delaying their studies unnecessarily.This Integrated Precalculus I course was offered as a pilot program in 2017 and has now beenoffered for three consecutive years. Only students in the STEM majors of engineering,economics, chemistry, computer science, kinesiology, and mathematics are currently allowed totake the course as they all require some sequence of mathematics that involves courses that areonly offered once a year. This is an ongoing project as we are still evaluating the course throughstudent success in subsequent mathematics courses, retention in the major and at the university,and time to complete the mathematics sequence. We are in phase one of conducting
