pedagogical research interests in improving engineering physics curriculum and seeking solutions to gender bias. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 An International Study of Foucault’s Pendulum Abstract Léon Foucault proved the rotation of the Earth with Foucault's Pendulum experimentusing a pendulum with 67 meters in length. A Foucault’s Pendulum refers to a heavy massswinging about a relatively high pivot point, where the inertial plane of the pendulum’s swingrotates over time. This rotation of the plane is called precession. Due to the Earth’s rotation, theprecession is clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the

-degree-of-freedomsystems and of a two-dimensional array of coupled oscillators. These projects are based on theidea of educating our students in the STEM disciplines ‒ essentially in physics, mathematicsand computer programming ‒ in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than onlyteaching the mentioned disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, our student researchprojects integrate them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications[5].The course Information Systems and Programming in the second semester of our AutomotiveEngineering bachelor's degree program forms the basis of the kind of undergraduate researchprojects our students are working on. In this course the programming language C# isintroduced, an

possessed, or MS Excel to a lesser extent. 3We began by examining the curriculum for the BME110 Introduction to Engineering course todetermine what concepts the students would be introduced to throughout the course and howvarious concepts could be naturally expanded upon within a discussion on advancedmanufacturing by the use of UAVs. A pretest was presented prior to any discussion pertaining toadvanced manufacturing and the construction or analysis of the UAVs.Since Phase I involved an introductory course, students were beginning to understand keyconcepts of engineering and some were simultaneously enrolled in the materials course. Wefocused on the fundamentals of design, structure, and analysis of

curriculum that is responsive and respectful [41]. One aimof the writing examples to be described is to do just that.The sections that follow will help to connect the dots between the use of writing activities in twodifferent introductory physics classes and their use in enhancing their respective learningcommunities. First, an overview of the two introductory courses and the student populationsthey serve will be shared. Some additional techniques used at the beginning of the term in eachclass will also be shared as they help to set the stage for the writing activities; and, to help createa respectful and inclusive learning community starting on the very first day of class.Overview of Physics Classes and Their Student Clientele Pre-CovidTwo
