As shown in Figure 3, theperformance of the final prototypes for both teams was tested using press test method and it wasobserved that both designs increase the weight-bearing limit of the patient as much as 12-15pounds.

engineering technology for elementary students Abstract Mentoring is being prevalently used in higher education. Traditionally, these programsare unidirectional that includes forward knowledge transfer. The internal mechanism of howto form an effective mentoring relationship between mentors and mentees is unclear. This pilotstudy focused on Person-Environment (P-E) fit perspective and zeroed in on how the mentor-mentee relationship affect mentees’ self-efficacy. We conducted semi-structured interviews withthree mentees to explore how P-E fit affected their self-efficacy. This qualitative study is a pilotstudy, future data collection and analysis will continue

were also investigated based on high school preparedness, path to CM as amajor, self-efficacy, institutional and curriculum satisfaction, and future career plans. Parentaleducational level (i.e., completed a bachelor’s) is used as a measure of first-generation college student.The measure of high school preparedness evaluates students’ math and science experience. For instance,students respond to semester of math in high school, math/science course completed, whether advancedplacement courses were offered, and perceived college math preparedness. Students indicated their pathstudents followed to CM major, institutional and curriculum, and future plans. Most of the measuresused multiple choice survey options while others, such as self-efficacy

The modelcombined “Making” with engineering concerns attendant to manufacturing at micro scales (tensto hundreds of parts) along with

Cronbach’s Alphas for Questionnaire #1 was 0.832,N=30, and for Questionnaire #2 was 0.794, N=29, respectively.Questionnaire #1 aligns with ABET Criterion 3, Outcome (1) “an ability to apply knowledge,techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology tosolve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline”. Questionnaire #2aligns with Criterion 3 Outcome (5) “an ability to function effectively as a member as well as aleader on technical teams”. The

Thecontent is generally more applied and practically focused. The types of program directlyinfluence interest in STEM careers and boost self-efficacy in STEM based content. [4]The classroom education system has a curriculum dictated by state and federal educationalstandards such as Common Core. This leaves less time and flexibility to teach subjects outside ofthe planned semester. While students learn STEM in the classroom

Such exposure and experienceimproved the self-efficacy of the selected scholars and their friends enrolled in the program. Theretention and timely graduation rate of these selected scholars are phenomenal. Their leadershipquality also influenced the mindsets of their friends, many of them are from non-traditional students’population, just like them. In summary, we feel our SETS project achieved its goal and positivelyenhanced scholars’ learning experience on campus and transformed our targeted programs.
