(STEM) has become a majorconcern in the United States in recent years21,22. It is widely accepted that the United States’leadership position in the world relies largely on its scientific and technical expertise. In thistechnological era, as the demand for the workforce in the STEM fields continues to grow, moreinvestments must be made in STEM education to prepare enough scientists and engineers whowill create the innovations vital for the success of the U.S. economy. However, the currentoutput from the U. S. educational system is struggling to meet this exponentially increasingdemand for scientists and engineers25. The impending wave of retiring baby boomer STEMprofessionals will worsen the situation in the next few years44. The shortage in

He also has developed a novel model to predict the nickel coarsening in high temperature SOFCs based on electro-migration. His current research is related to computational modeling of liquid atomization, drag coefficient of complex geometries, combustion, fire dynamics and heat transfer mechanisms of 3D direct laser metal sintering.Dr. Chip W Ferguson, Western Carolina University Chip Ferguson is the Associate Dean of the College of Engineering and Technology and

First, the range estimation of standard deviation is an approximation and issometimes inefficient. Second, it is sometimes desirable to obtain confidence intervals on thesources of measurement variation5, and that is not easily accomplished with the Tabular Method.Third, a gage capability study is truly a designed experiment so the principles of goodexperimental analysis should be applied. It is noteworthy the D.

In other words, if a team originally chooses a route and/or sensor(s) that requireshigher levels of programming and they continue to fail, shifting to a different and possibly easiernavigational route can happen.Before students arrived, teams were randomly formed (two teams of five and three teams of sixstudents), lab facilitators and helpers assigned, and team packets prepared with event resources,such as team member role cards. PMTM 2.0 allowed each team member to choose their rolefrom the options shown in Table 1, and the mission recorder role from 2015 was removed andthe role of data engineer added.
