accreditation through the Applied and NaturalScience Accreditation Commission (ANSAC) and Engineering Accreditation Commission(EAC), respectively. These programs follow an “Introduce, Reinforce, Master” curriculum mapas part of the assessment plan where each student learning outcome (SLO) is assessed in at leastthree courses of different levels, so that each SLO is assessed at each of the three levels(introduced, reinforced, and mastered). We seek to effectively assess, at the introductory level,the proposed ANSAC SLO (2) and the new EAC SLO (2) with a single project and rubric in ourintroductory physics courses. The primary difference between the SLO (2) from the twocommissions is that the EAC is more specific in that students must apply “engineering

students inthe concepts needed for the study of living systems, have energized efforts to redesign thelaboratory course.10This paper outlines a project that integrates the undergraduate research goals of the BUILD grantwithin a framework that promotes the curricular redesign of the introductory physics for lifescience (IPLS) laboratory courses. We briefly discuss the literature on the importance of thegoals, design and assessment of student research projects followed by a description of ourphysics REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) model. We present data and analysisfrom a biologically-relevant interdisciplinary research project that involves Newton’s Law ofCooling. The research was conducted by a BUILD scholar who is currently a junior

people. The prototype generatoris based on the minuscule hydropower generator and will take advantage of water flow from faucets.This study explores the practicality of converting water flow energy into electrical energy with a minigenerator design using simple physics concepts. Effectively harnessing water flow could recover asignificant amount of usable electrical energy from simple, everyday actions with minimal impact to dailyoperation. This design shows promise for the future of off-grid energy generation. The skills learned fromthis fluid physics based project were invaluable, as research, design, trial and error, as well as technicalwriting are all important experiences within engineering education. This generator not only

undergraduate courses in Mathematics, graduate courses in Education, and is a thesis advisor on the master and doctoral programs on education at the Tecnologico de Monterrey. Her main research areas are: models and modeling, use of technology to improve teaching and learning, gender issues in STEM education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 STEM-oriented students’ perception of the relevance of physicsAbstractWe present initial findings from an ongoing project regarding the factors that influencesecondary and high school students to pursue a professional engineering career. In this article,we offer data from the analysis of a questionnaire administered to high school students

physicistsand engineers through primary source materials including oral histories and diaries of alumni whohave taken physics at the institution since the 1800s.The circuits block discusses mechanical computers created to defeat Enigma in the US and UK,the invention of the integrated circuit, and the Manhattan Project. Students are shown the DaytonCodebreakers website (http://daytoncodebreakers.org) and the Nobel Prize Speech of Jack Kilbyin which he mentioned that the “turning point” for the transistor “came from two highly visiblemilitary programs in the 1960s – the Apollo moon mission and the Minuteman missile.” Studentsare shown the Einstein-Szilard letter posted at Atomic Heritage.org. In the waves block, studentsare shown an interview with Bill

comments and responses on thewebsite, and often adapt substantial aspects of the course based on student feedback. In this way,students have a voice in shaping the class. Additionally, students vote on topics to cover for thelast few weeks of the semester; this community process allows them to further exercise controlover their own learning. Students also have agency over their learning at the end of the coursewhen they can complete an optional final project. The projects typically consist of writing apaper about a topic we did not cover in depth in the course, and can replace part of an examgrade. In addition to having agency over their learning, the final project option also providesopportunity for students to define what is interesting and

, students’ perception, educationalinnovation, higher educationIntroductionTo understand gender and socioeconomic differences in scientific and technological areas,studies that deepen the understanding of each culture or region are necessary. This papercontributes to the understanding of high-school students’ perceptions about physics by genderand different socioeconomic statuses in Mexico.This study was conducted in Mexico within a larger project in which the objective was toidentify the actors and factors that influence ninth-grade students’ perceptions of their academicor future professional work activities in the STEM areas of science and technology. We focusedour study on students in Nuevo Leon in the northern part of the country and Chiapas in
