course activities change the abilities of engineering students to engage in reflective thinking?While this question is quantitative in nature and we focus here on Likert-type survey data toaddress it, note that this is only a fraction of the data we are collecting and analyzing as part ofthe larger mixed-methods study with additional research questions. Other data sources forongoing and future analysis include responses to pre- and post-course essay questions (writtenjust prior to completing these Likert-type surveys, e.g., see Campbell et al., 2018), interviews ofstudent participants (e.g., see Kim et al., 2020), and various student essays and other coursework(e.g., see Kim, Campbell, et al., 2019; Taraban et al., forthcoming).Description

, which was structured to provide a unique period of time to prepare for the launch of theacademic year of 2019-20, when it officially opened its doors to its first graduating class of 113students.There are currently 15 faculty members with backgrounds across the disciplines, for a student-faculty ratio of roughly 7.5:1. In the next few years going forward, the university aims to recruitan additional 130 students each year, with plans to grow the faculty as well, while a permanentcampus is being built. It ultimately aspires to reach a steady state of roughly 3000 students intotal after 10 years.The students come from a variety of backgrounds. Many students have recently graduated highschool; some even turned down scholarships to study in the

To reducebending stress on the wires connecting the boards, we added large radii to each end of the housing.These radii also increased the overall strength of the housing over a rectangular design (Figure 6).Figure 6.

The printing of the prototype was done on a Stratasys DimensionSST 1200ES [17] using GrabCad Print [18] dedicated slicing software to get estimate print times andmaterial usage to check against actual print time and material usage.

authors propose a similar analysis of engineering writing from outside of theacademic arena: government reports, patent filings, and internal corporate documents likely all have“dialects” distinct from those analyzed here. It will only be after an analysis of the variation in writingbetween the disciplines, and within the communities of each discipline (corporate, government, academic)that writing center personnel will be best equipped to assist engineering faculty members and theirstudents in their quest for better writing.References:[1] Clippinger, David C., Jernquist, Kathleen S., Nozaki, Stephen, “Improving Undergraduate STEMWriting through Common Language as Tool to Teach Engineering Dialects,” Paper & presentation,ASEE Annual Conference

Specifically, this paper focuses on Ed+gineering’s implementation intwo education courses and two engineering courses during Spring 2019: Collaboration 1, duringPSTs’ and UESs’ first courses in education and engineering, respectively, and Collaboration 2,during an elementary science methods course and a fluid mechanics course near the end ofeducation and engineering students’ respective programs.Research Questions 1. How did PSTs’ Ed+gineering experiences influence their engineering and science knowledge? 2. How did PSTs’ and UESs’ Ed+gineering experiences influence
