Many publications [1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 15, 18, 20, 21, 23, 24, and 25] report engineeringprojects in the same general area. Mathematical and physical aspects of model rocketry arereported in references 3, 6, 14, 16, 19, and 31. This paper describes a successfull implementationof PBL in an introduction class using the conversion of chemical energy into propulsion as itsfocus instead of the flight based focus found in earlier publications. Hence, this paper is the firstits kind in model rocket literature. The practical experience described in this paper is

University educators should be responsive to integrate this intothe content, organization, and delivery of high-level technical short courses.1. Introduction Much research has been undertaken to understand and enhance one primary mission ofthe University as an institution: the education of students. The bulk of this work has focused onan interaction where students go to the University in its own context, whether that be a physicalpresence on a campus or through distance learning programs. In each case, the tone of thisinteraction is largely set by the culture of the University, comprised of values, expectations, andstyles of communicating. This approach may benefit many students, who will grow and flourishin the University context; however

Forinstance, why does the committee choose to articulate that it is targeting “all structuralengineers”? The meaning behind this is alluding to the reported propensity of women andminorities leaving design and construction rated fields at a higher rate than average.[2] Inaddition, the phrase “pathway to success” can be a daunting one to understand by engineeringmanagers

increasing globalization, issues regarding international mobility of (often licensed)professionals in a host of disciplines have gained importance. Basic considerations of fairnessand economic efficiency prompt questions about restraint of trade, unnecessary barriers toprofessional practice, and policies that can facilitate domestic and international mobility oflicense holders in different occupations. Positions can be extreme. In the United States, achanging political climate has made libertarian ideas questioning the necessity of professionallicensure itself more prominent.1 Licensed professions in the United States, including engineering, have been concerned and,in some cases, felt threatened in the aftermath of the 2014 Supreme Court decision

Mastery Learning Experiences and Academic MotivationIntroduction The National Academy of Engineers present the advancement of personalized learning asone of fourteen grand engineering challenges. Personalized learning has the potential to optimizethe learning process by taking into account the unique learning fingerprint of each student. Everystudent will bring to a class different cultural outlooks, levels of motivation, interests in thematerial, and preferences for learning[1]. When students are properly supported, a greater degreeof learning can occur both within the classroom and during independent practice[1,2]. Onepromising method of personalized learning is mastery learning, a theory described by Dr.Benjamin Bloom

One of the student outcomes in the ABET criteriaincludes “an ability to function effectively on a team” and to “create a collaborative andinclusive environment” [3, p. 6]. Creating classroom cultures where students feel included andsupported is crucial for students’ sense of belonging, identities as scientists and engineers,learning, and persistence in STEM [4]–[9]. Through creating inclusive environments in ourclasses, we can help our students learn to engage in effective, respectful, and equitablecollaboration. Even further, we can empower students to examine who has access to, and isincluded in, the scientific community. To that end, we consider investigations of who doesphysics to be a part of physics

Thus,design on paper, computer modeling, and implementing the designs in the physical world arecrucial parts of learning.

The difference was even morepronounced when breaking the groups down by SAT score categories, with the SI groupoutperforming their counterparts in all categories. When polling students on aspects ofmetacognition, we discovered that both SI and no SI groups had similar rates of awareness anduse of “knowledge of cognition” strategies, yet SI groups had higher rates of awareness and useof “regulation of cognition” strategies.
