half the distance of its dimpled counterpart. Students will study the effectof dimples on the drag coefficient of a golf ball. The objectives of this module are as follows: (1) Perform background research todetermine the velocity of a golf ball upon impact and estimate the Reynolds number. (2)Develop an experiment using the 0-100 MPH wind tunnel to measure the drag coefficient vs.Reynolds number of a golf ball. (3) Repeat the experiment on a smooth, golf ball sized sphere.(4) Make a plot of drag coefficient vs. Re number for both experiments and interpret the resultsin terms their impact on the game of golf.

Through in-depth readings, class discussions and projects, students will 1) study and analyze different forms of responsibility in engineering and resiliency in complex communities like ASGM communities; 2) critically explore strengths and limitations of dominant methods in engineering problem solving, design, and research for working with these communities; 3) develop understandings of effective forms of responsible

Cooperative learning hasreceived significant attention both in practice and in the research, and is best understood when Proceedings of the2005 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright 2005, American Society for Engineering Educationcompared with two alternate modes of learning, competitive and individualistic. It is importantto note that cooperative learning is not simply putting students together in a group to worktogether. Specific characteristics of the group work must be present for it to be successful:positive interdependence of the group members; promotion of face-to

academic institutions, engineering employers, researchers, and ABET’sEngineering Criteria 2000, which requires that engineering programs demonstrate that theirgraduates have an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (Bekir, Cable,Hashimoto, & Katz, 2001; Herkert, 2000; Hissey, 2000; Passino, 1998; Stephan, 2002; Stern, &Pimmel, 2002). The importance of incorporating ethical education in engineering programs lieson the need of properly preparing engineering graduates for their careers. As Stern and Pimmel(2002) stated, An engineer’s work can have significant impact on society; therefore the practice of engineering carries certain obligations and responsibilities. Engineers need to assess both positive

Page 26.655.8In order to assess the utility or immediate impact of each workshop, five content-based or“knowledge-based” tests of simple recall and understanding were developed for each workshoppresentation addressing major concepts delivered by the workshop’s presenters. A pre-test and apost-test research design were implemented to assess the amount of information acquired by theworkshops’ participants. Evaluators are keenly aware of the potential for inflated gain scoresdue to practice effects by participants but the results are still valuable to ascertain students’ability to maintain their attention on what is

A mentor is useful in helpingthem come up with a plan to either alter their course or to disengage and return, while validating theirworth (Byars-Winston et al, 2015). Some mentees report talking to family, going for a walk, or seeking ahigher power. All these can help them to center themselves without internalizing the issues, while stillachieving their goals. Other research suggests that though having a mentee of the same race and genderdoesn’t necessarily predict positive academic outcome, students of color and women reported feelingmore supported by a mentor of the

show that in2003, 68.3% of engineering degrees were awarded to Caucasians, 14% to Asian Americans,5.1% to African Americans, 5.4% to Hispanic students and 7.2% to others. It is important to notethat since 1999 there has been a declining trend in the number of Hispanic and African Americanstudents among all engineering graduates.
