Following lectures, participants did hands-on AI case-studies. In additionto the week-long group case studies, the mid-week project was a large collective case study on AI’s uses for theprediction of antibiotic resistance conducted by Concordia University. At the end of the week-long program, therewere group presentations and roundtable discussions. This allowed for a variety of perspectives to emerge ondifferent topics, time for questions, and inspiration for post-program plans.Participants have generally deemed the program delivery to have been strong and the

improvement in student learning, however it had itsown issues, the most troubling being the long waits that the students tended to encounter whentrying to get their pre-labs checked. The following is the Reflection section from the FCAR: What worked well: Needing to get the pre-labs 100% correct helped the students understand the concepts better and certainly made the post-labs drastically better. I felt that the students learned more and fewer were just going through the motions when doing the experiments. My post-lab grading time was cut to almost nothing. The field trip was great. What didn’t work as well: I spent A LOT of time checking and re-checking pre-labs and helping students. The lines were long

Due toscheduling complications, only three students completed all phases of the data collection process.The participants were selected at random after they filled out an interest and consent form. Theirdata has been de-identified as part of the analysis process and pseudonyms were assigned to thestudents (Alex, Bradley, and Charlie). These students were all male, senior-level chemicalengineering students.

 sin The freshmen can experimentally test their model in lab by lifting different weights (Fload) andcomparing the calculated deltoid force, Fdeltoid, with an estimate based on the cross-sectional areaof their deltoid muscle. Although there is some variation in published values, a reasonable valueof maximum muscle force per unit area is 30-40N/cm2. A cross-sectional picture of the armthrough the deltoid, something many of the students get to see in an imaging lab, can provide anestimate of the cross-sectional area of the deltoid, and consequently maximum deltoid force [15].The arm model demonstrates that based on the free-body diagram, the deltoid muscle force issignificantly greater than the load that can be lifted.

For instance, one study found that studentsspent more time engaged in mathematical and graphical modeling than physical modeling, incontrast to previous research findings, but seldom used mathematical modeling to inform theirdesigns, echoing findings in the previous section about the challenges to integrating engineeringand mathematics content successfully [72]. In a study of high school students who hadcompleted engineering courses, student design process was compared to expert design process,finding that the students spent significantly less time gathering information, making decisions,and evaluating the

And, I’m not saying, I have worked with guys in my group that do want tohold it to a higher standard, but this might just be because there’s been more men in my groupthan women. But as much as the men are like being lazy or won’t show up to groups or thingslike that, but the women are always, there always trying to do the best work, always takingover the other sections that people forget about.”In interpreting peer microaggressions some Black students noted that for many students in theCollege, they served as their one “Black friend.” One student stated: “… a lot of our peers haven’t been exposed to black people throughout their

Three have a year-longcapstone design program and one has a four-semester design sequence that spans the junior andsenior years. All focus heavily on industry-sponsored projects; three also include faculty-sponsored and national-competition projects. All emphasize

of technologists downstream from the designer. (Further relevant aspects,primarily trade-offs, of this are discussed in the section on concurrent development.)Perseverance, likewise, is also an essential characteristic of engineers as well as artists. Forartists, the very process of nurturing a vision from conception to execution is often a matter ofperseverance. Obstacles include the financial difficulty of obtaining materials. This may rangefrom the metal sculptor’s purchase of raw materials and tools to the musician’s purchase ofappropriate gear or rental of studio space. Once those resources are present, for the lone artist,there is the challenge of mastering all the techniques and tools necessary to realize a vision, andfor the artist

TechnologyDr. Eric J. AlmDr. Alison F Takemura, US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute Alison loves wading into a good science story. Her first was her MIT doctoral thesis project, unlocking the gastronomical genome of a Vibrio bacterium. For some of the Vibrio’s meals, she collected seaweed from the rocky, Atlantic coastline at low tide. (Occasionally, its waves swept her off her feet.) During grad school, Alison was also a fellow in MIT’s Biological Engineering Communication Lab. Helping students share their science with their instructors and peers, she began to crave the ability to tell the stories of other scientists, and the marvels they discover, to a broader audience.
