Due to limitations with survey completion (e.g., not all studentscompleted pre and post and not all survey items were included), instructor plans to conduct alarger more comprehensive study in spring 2020. In addition, given the focus on a maker-inspired pedagogy, there is a need to provide students with engaging low-stake opportunities tocreate and share projects early on to better develop their technical confidence. 11References

Development of Veteran Friendly, Military Technology and Instrumentation Mechanical Engineering CourseAbstractThe University of North Carolina at Charlotte developed a veteran friendly, military technologyand instrumentation course as part of their ongoing efforts to recruit and retrain members of themilitary community and to expand the military science and technology workforce. The largerproject included four interrelated initiatives (e.g., systematic veteran recruitment activities,specialized mentoring support for student veterans) and institutional data analysis on veteranrecruitment and graduation. ENGR3999 (pseudonym) was originally planned to link priormilitary experience of veterans to what they learn in academic courses and to

a more basic level. Forexample, it is less likely in an introductory Physics course for an instructor to assume studentsalready know what a gravitational force is and how it acts on a body, whereas in Statics it isoften assumed to be known. It may be true, then, that students who are taking Physics as acorequisite with Statics may struggle in Statics with concepts that are not explained in Physicsuntil a later time. Table 2 below provides information on the planned topics for a ten-weekcourse in Statics and Physics I to provide a basis for comparison. Table 2.

machine design presented in this paper willbenefit technicians, electricians, and manufacturing workers by providing a user- friendly and low-cost efficient device that will accurately and efficiently cut one wire. The automated industrialwire cutting machine also decreases manual labor; as a result, it increases productivity.There are cost-effective ways to improve this prototype that can increase productivity even moresignificantly. Even though the machine prototype was only able to cut and strip one wire at a time,it is more accurate and efficient than most machines in the market at a fraction of the price. Asmentioned in the future work section there is a plan to make it a 4-wire machine that will beat anycompetitor in the market. It is hoped

plan for the Fluid Mechanics coursewas developed considering the objectives and clear outline for student learning. The survey used16 questions with a five-point Likert scale and the overall responses were analyzed to determinethe effectiveness of the integration. The results of the survey are summarized below: • There was a consensus in the support of our use of the software • The support is readily available from the students to integrate CFD, EFD, and AFD with the general theoretical lectures and coursework in Fluid Mechanics. • The results indicate that students will not only benefit their learning and improve their general overall understanding but can impact the student’s potential job opportunity

The average satisfaction of the teamsgenerated “by-hand” was 13.11, whereas the average satisfaction from junto was 13.05. Theseare very similar numbers, however junto would have saved the instructor over 5 hours of work.The instructor is currently gathering data for this one-year course (surveys, reports, and studentperformance) and has plans to use junto next year.Conclusionsjunto sought out to introduce an accessible, portable, quick, and efficient tool for the capstoneteam formation

DIVERSE MINDSAbstract:The use of course management systems have resulted in a growing trend among faculty to provide studentswith course materials to augment lectures. This can include lecture notes, example problems orsupplementary reading. In engineering courses, instructor-provided notes are often handwritten -- even inonline courses. There is an assumption that handwritten notes are preferred by students and have apedagogical benefit over typed notes.Access to course materials for students with disabilities is also improving due to advancements in bothtechnology and awareness. Students with disabilities often receive custom accommodation plans for coursework when the original class format does not adequately support their learning. In courses

Both prior programming experience and lab enrollmentprovide additional practice to students, which in turn increases ability in programming andperformance in the course overall.7. RecommendationsThe student’s ability to choose to take their programming course with or without lab grants thestudent more options when planning their college experience, allowing for a more effectivecourse load. For example, we find that students with prior programming experience who alsoenrolled in the lab did not perform much better than those with experience who did not enroll inlab. Therefore, if a student has prior knowledge in programming, they can be advised that the

Inorder to keep students as engaged as possible, the labs are designed to only take ~ 1.5 – 2 hours,with efficiency increased by using prelab assignments to ensure that appropriate planning hasbeen completed prior to attending. In addition, a lab notebook is required to document allexercises with an emphasis on data integrity, and ethics of recording and presentation. Althoughanalysis associated with most lab exercises is done within the lab group, the analysis from fourexercises is done individually. Combined with individual effort from the lecture portion of thecourse, 50% of the grade is individual while 50% is team based. This helps to ensure thatstudents are not simply carried by their teammates.1
