The first step was to improve our retention of the youngpeople arriving to begin the journey to become engineers. This step was critical to demonstrateto the administration that engineering was worthy of additional resources being used to growengineering at The Citadel.

fit for an active learning redesign, as several of the keyconcepts introduced in an undergraduate materials class can be explored using hands-onactivities, and exposure to such actives enhances student engagement and understanding [4]. Thebenefits of a lab component in an introductory materials course have been observed directly atUSC, as the aerospace engineering version of the class (AME 231L: Mechanical Behavior ofMaterials) incorporates a materials testing lab. AME 231L is a smaller course, capped at 30students, and taught once per year. The small class size, and the availability of lab space andequipment, enable a hands-on learning experience for students. Anecdotal evidence frominstructors suggest that students in AME 231L develop a

Here, we chose a direct skills test in which studentsconsider a design problem using ethical awareness, and introduce computational text analysis tospeed and reduce bias in the analysis of their responses.Participants According to the pre-data collection survey, a total of 34 undergraduate students participatedin this study, 20 males and 14 females, ranging in age from 18 to 25 years, with one participantolder than 26.

The exam questions were adapted from Cengel and Boles’ Thermodynamics: An Engineer-ing Approach, 7th edition, textbook, widely used in the undergraduate aerospace and mechanicalengineering curricula. Problems were chosen by different levels of difficulty, based on the textbookclassification of basic, average, and advanced questions. A one-sample t-test was conducted on the students’ problem score to evaluate whether theirscore was significantly different from 5, the median of possible scores for a problem performance.For example, the sample mean of 8.4 on a question related to Laws of Thermodynamics (SD =2.00) was significantly different from 5, t(22) = 8.20, p = .000.

Black men and women and Asian men are more likely to choose electrical engineering atthe beginning of college. In general, Black students and Asian and Hispanic men are also morelikely to enroll in computer engineering relative to other engineering disciplines, although atlower rates than electrical engineering [27].

using VR in learning and specifically how it gives the user a sense of “beingthere” [2]. VR also allows students to have ‘hands-on experiences’ with real-world engineeringsituations, and provides the student with a first-person approach, this allows natural affordancesfor interacting with the environment in a realistic manner.VR application has spanned the healthcare, aerospace, physics and other domain areas. Forexample, a pilot study, to evaluate the usefulness of VR in education, was performed using fifty-nine students, in a summer day camp. Results indicated that VR is beneficial to students in alearning environment [3].

In conjunctionwith the new facilities, the college’s strategic plan stipulated that, by 2022, 40% of graduateswould have an interdisciplinary design experience.As the overarching conceptual platform and physical space in the college are established forinterdisciplinary collaboration, departments and faculty are developing ideas for morecollaborative interactive learning. The faculty in the ISD course needs to determine the mosteffective framework to realize this pedagogical shift.
