engineering comprise one thread of currentresearch. Originating from Mead and Metraux’s 1957 study of high school student images ofscientists [10], more recent research has focused on comparing K-12 student drawings ofscientists and engineers [11-14].The Fralick et al.’s 2009 [13] study is of interest to our work in progress because it developed arobust taxonomy for comparing drawings of scientists (DAS) and engineers (DAE) by middleschool level students (see Appendix A). They developed three general categories: species;objects; and inferred actions. We employ the Fralick et al. taxonomy to identify intersectionsbetween the descriptions of engineers and engineering we collected from our citizen scienceparticipants and images produce by K-12

elastic modulus. On a morefundamental level the elastic modulus is proportional to the change in free energy G ofdeformation. Hence, Young’s Modulus ~ (dG/dl) = (dH/dl) – T(dS/dl)where l denotes the length of the sample, T is the (absolute) temperature and H and S refer toenthalpy and entropy, respectively [5]. If Young’s modulus is determined by the cohesive energydensity of materials then the effect of entropic forces can be neglected and thus Young’s Modulus~ (dH/dl). Metals and ceramics are thus also called ‘enthalpy elastic’.Rubbers, defined as weakly crosslinked amorphous polymers above the glass transitiontemperature, defy this trend. Rubbers are an important class of polymer materials that are widelyused for their

EducationAbstractHigher education, especially in the engineering milieu, is a complex activity. Many differenttasks need to be performed well to achieve high quality student learning. Significant learningexperiences require specific (and optimal) course design, and inculcation of relevant skills.The more common approach for course design is the ‘content-centered’ one. A list of topicsis decided (using well-established textbook/s), together with time slots and a testing scheme(number of quizzes, tests, etc). Though relatively easy, this methodology pays scant attentionto student learning outside of content knowledge. The more time and effort intensive‘learning-centered’ approach is more systematic and rewarding. Course design is based ondeciding what students can

“outside” columns and working inward – for each criterion, first establish thehighest standard level, then the lowest standard level, and then fill in the middle level(s). Thisstyle of rubric can become more cumbersome to construct as the number of standards increases.It has been suggested to design rubrics with an even number of standards to avoid a “middle”option during evaluation.We have developed the rubrics for our Engineering 101 course by focusing only on two columnswithin the rubric, describing only the highest quality level (which earns full credit, an A grade)and the minimum acceptable quality level (which earns credit roughly equivalent to a C or C-grade). The other columns in the rubric are effectively left blank, but with a deliberate

., 2018). This scheme has several categories in common with thecategories in the coding scheme for the present work, including Remembering and Improvement.Carberry et al. also used three categories to code definitions of reflection that align with Schon’sand Rose’s theories of reflection, namely “reflection on action,” “reflection in action,” or“reflection then action” (Carberry et al., 2018; Csavina et al., 2017). In Carberry et al.’s study,the majority of student responses (79%) identified reflection as a means of looking back on aprevious event (i.e., reflection on action), and 21% of the responses indicated that reflection wasa means to impact the future by directing future choices (reflection then action) (Carberry et al.,2018).

Googleuses LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and Tesla uses an array of cameras for computervision. The autonomous cars can be fully autonomous without a need for a driver or can bedriver-managed autopilot-enabled. Google SDC is an example of an autonomous car without adriver and Tesla Model S is an example of the second type.The area of autonomous vehicle design has been gaining a tremendous growth in recent years.

Inan effort to better compare student performance based on predictors of preparedness for college,all enrolled students in the class were divided into three groups, each with a 100 point range ofSAT scores and then analyzed for course GPA between no
