Paper ID #30130Enhancing Undergraduate Research across Disciplinaries: Integration of3-D Printing and Advanced Materials to Engage StudentsMr. Blake Herren, University of Oklahoma I am a first year Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering at the University of Oklahoma. I graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering in May 2018 from OU. I currently work as a TA and RA in a new additive manufacturing lab lead by my advisor, Dr. Yingtao Liu. As I start my career in research, I hope to enhance my creativity and learn to identify and solve problems within my field.Mr. Ryan CowdreyMr. Weston Scott

meet challenges and successfully complete tasks[10]. It is important to studyself-efficacy in engineering as it has consistently been found to predict academic performance[11], [12] and career choice [13], [14]. Self-efficacy has been studied as both a task-specific setof beliefs (e.g., academic self-efficacy) [12], [15]–[19] or as a task-general set of beliefs (e.g.,generalized self-efficacy) [10], [20]. In this study, we chose to use Sherer et al’s generalized self-efficacy scale due to the open-ended nature of the mental health assignment used in the study.Additionally, some researchers suggest that improving generalized self-efficacy will alsoincrease task-specific self-efficacy [10], [21].According to Sherer et al, generalized self

that student appreciation formaterials science will be enhanced when working on an independent project that is intimatelyrelated to their broader career interest. In addition, the value of different mentoring approaches(peer-peer, expert-student) to the learning outcomes of the project will be examined. The courseis a 106-student course that is offered to all engineering majors, and is generally composed ofstudents from bioengineering, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, chemicalengineering and is the first course for materials science and engineering students. Students wereasked to select a topic related to their professional interest. A Wiki-style article was assigned thatasked students to deconstruct the life cycle of the

paper, we will be focusing on three resource categories: (i)real-world inspired case studies, (ii) the Five Step Method for advanced design problems, andour newest resource, (iii) Introductory Materials Science Teaching Packages. These resourceshave been designed with increased student engagement in mind.Case Studies are among one of the resources categories that we have developed. These resourcesallow students to see what goes into the design and assessment of real-world products. This real-world connection is critical; it connects to previous understanding for improved learningpotential and can motivate learning of technical concepts (such as mathematics [24]) by showingtheir practical use, relevant to students’ careers. To address this need

Her areas of interest are in student inclusion programs and creating faculty development that ultimately boost engagement and per- formance in students from lower SES backgrounds. Prior to her role as project manager, Sarah worked as the SEI Coordinator for a local high school and has also developed an inclusion program for Migrant and Immigrant students that utilized co-teaching and active learning as keystones of the program. She began her educational career as a high school teacher, teaching courses in English, math, and science. c
