Their overall grade point average after threesemesters determines their eligibility for an engineering major. Students may use the springsemester of their sophomore year to complete the four required entrance-to-major courses.Students who complete the four required courses with a “C,” or better and have grade pointaverages above the cut-off, as determined by each engineering department, are officially admittedinto an engineering major by the end of their sophomore year. Students with grade pointaverages below the cut-offs established by each department can remain at the university andchoose another major or leave the university to pursue an
. The introductory engineering coursein which this evaluation study took place includes students seeking degrees in electrical,mechanical, aerospace, civil, and wireless engineering fields. The two-hour course is deliveredin a lecture/lab format: students attend a fifty-minute lecture session early in the week in a largelecture theater, and later in the week, they attend a two-and-one-half-hour lab session. Each labsection has an enrollment between 14 and 20 students, allowing for a smaller-class setting thanthe lecture theater. Because students are in class more than three hours per week, courseactivities and assignments often take place in class.TU is a small, private, historically black college (HBCU) located in the southeastern UnitedStates

collecting data for this paper. Of those six, twowere second-year MS students, and four were first-year students that were just finishing their first semesterof their engineering Master’s program. Five participants were men and one was a woman. Three of theparticipants had previously attended Penn State for their undergraduate degree, and the others transitionedfor their graduate work from a variety of institutions. The disciplines of these students in who participatedin the interviews reported here included aerospace, nuclear, and electrical engineering.Data Collection and Analysis: Semi-structured interviews[23] were conducted via Zoom with the studyparticipants, recorded, and transcribed.

Practice and reflection II: Engineering dynamicsEngineering Dynamics is a challenging course undertaken by students majoring in MechanicalEngineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Geomatics Engineering, andvarious minors such as Aerospace and Mechatronics at our institute. Typically, this course isscheduled in the third semester, following the completion of Statics. The curriculum is dividedinto two main modules: Particle Dynamics, which is covered before the midterm, and RigidBody Dynamics, which follows the midterm examination. The assessment structure includeseight quizzes, one midterm, a makeup midterm, and a final exam.Traditionally, the

While PHYS 212 is amandatory course for all engineering majors, EE 210 is specifically required for studentsmajoring in electrical, computer, and multidisciplinary engineering. It also counts as a technicalelective for Computer Science and Aerospace Engineering majors.When the decision was made to co-teach the two courses, it was also agreed that students wouldreceive separate credits and grades for each course to fulfill their graduation requirements. Iftaught independently, students would have needed to attend 11 contact hours per week. However,given the

The two classes have 325 and 81 students enrolled,respectively. Both classes introduce probability and statistics notions to engineering students fromdiverse areas in Computer Science and Industrial and Systems Engineering, but include studentsfrom all other engineering disciplines (e.g., students from Electrical and Computer Engineering,Chemical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and others). The two courses were selected forour testing of these newly developed digital notes because of their position in the curricula as anintroductory point for probability and

actually at some value to them.” And so, from there on out I started maybe talking tothe bigger companies, I still didn’t talk to many of them because again, I was nervous. Nextyear, I’m not going to make that mistake, but it was awesome. But my shift came whenthey actually started showing interest in me and wanting to interview and stuff like that, sothat’s great.Another highlight of the conference was when one guy explained to me what he did everyday. I giggled audibly in front of him. It was very awkward, but I was just so excited at theprospect of doing what he did working with aerospace. I was introduced to so many morethings that I didn’t know that I could do which was an incredible opportunity, and I wouldtell every single women engineer
