andimplementation of practices and initiatives for increasing diversity of the student and faculty inthe mechanical engineering discipline must be a focus. Additionally, we believe that having awelcoming, inclusive environment is a precursor to improving diversity and thus should be animportant consideration in mechanical engineering education. We propose that introducing a fewcarefully designed practices that require very few resources and cause minimum disruption couldresult in a more welcoming and inclusive environment.Bringing about change for a more inclusive environment can be challenging, namely in that itcan be disruptive and require resources, but careful planning and strategic use of resources canhelp alleviate these challenges.

Monitoring and advising. Their approach to achievethese objectives consists of five-step plan: 1) recruiting a substantial pool of high-achievingminority students with interests in math and science who are most likely to be retained in thescientific pipeline; 2) offering merit-based financial support; 3) providing an orientation programfor incoming freshmen; 4) recruiting the most active research faculty to work with the students(it takes a scientist to train a scientist); and 5) involving the students in scientific researchprojects as early as possible, so that they can be engaged through the excitement of discovery [3–5]. The similarities between the two programs suggest the importance of their objectives andapproach in the design and

interaction with a customer with well (or sometimes poorly) defined specifications andconstraints. To fill this need, and to help build community relationships, one of this past year’ssenior design projects sought to design and build a bike rental system. The product will connectthe college campus to the downtown York business district. Two representatives fromcompanies in the business district were the customers who helped the students developspecifications, participated in planning meetings, and attended design reviews of the bike rentalsystem. We and our business partners hope that the bike rental system will increase the numberof students frequenting downtown York and its businesses.In the first stage of this project, in the 2014-15 academic year

orderto do so, the School of Engineering developed a zero-credit course that was given at the end ofthe sophomore year. This course was originally developed in response to the ABET 2000Criteria, and has been modified over the years to meet changes in protocol, curriculum, andtechnology8. During this course, the students go through an individual interview with theinstructor and take an exam based on the courses from the first two years of the curriculum. Thisinformation is then used during the department’s internal assessment process.This paper gives an overview of this exam, as well as how it is used to help in our internalassessment process and outlines recent plans to use the exam to aid students in their upperdivisional years as well.

Softwarepackages were chosen and coordinated for use in the curriculum to minimize the students havingto learn more software packages than needed. For the two-credit class, 13 weeks of materialswere created that cover safety training and writing instruction, data acquisition, reverseengineering of a consumer product and manufacturing techniques, tension and bending testing

compromising theusefulness of a cross-institutional project.Scheduling and Schedule RequirementsThe curricular changes that the instructor experienced in the transformed course are primarilyembodied by the schedule and scheduling requirements, with key touchpoints being topiccoverage and order. In our analysis, we see the imposition of this schedule quickly give rise to afeeling described consistently as “treading water”. There is a constant pressure to plan classesand learn content which is amplified by the instructor’s preference for having course contentplanned far in advance. Statements like “I feel like I am treading water because most days I amonly one step ahead of the students” (Week 9) and “I am currently only one step or less ahead ofthe

This issue requires a careful design of questions in the form of aquiz or as part of the final exam of the course to gauge whether the understanding of the materialhas improved as a result of implementing this project. The author plans to take that intoconsideration in the future. It is, however, the opinion of the author that this kind of project hassome significant contribution to the students’ understanding of some key issues in heat transferapplications. First, the students are forced to do research or even come up with a model ofevaluating the thermophysical properties of materials

This requirement provideda clear guideline for students and established competition travel as a reward instead of anexpectation.The largest changes made were philosophical shifts. As explained above, previous efforts assumedthat all project instruction was done informally by advisors and that classroom sessions were foradministrative usage. Starting in Fall 2015, the department approved a plan to use classroomsessions for a mix of instruction, project work, and reporting of results by all teams. To furtherconnect the classroom sessions with the projects, all faculty advisors agreed to participate inclassroom sessions. Practically, this has implications for teaching load and may not be feasible forall readers. At Lawrence

Students worked ina group to plan, design, fabricate, and test the prototype. Group size varied from two to fourstudents. Each project includes sensing, processing, and actuating to control anelectromechanical device, typically a motor. The objective of the project is to demonstrate asystem level application of mechatronics. Upon the approval from the instructor, students weregiven full responsibility to select components, create a test bench, prove concept(s), developinterface circuitry, and integrate all sub-systems.

A study is planned for next year using more traditional learning techniques toallow comparisons of student performance on the material and the student’s ratings of disruption.It is possible that the disruptive class environment could outweigh the positive gains in activelearning with respect to retention of diverse students.
