2019 ASEE Annual ConferenceIntroduction:To invite high school students into a college setting to learn about engineering design, and 3Dprinting to spark interest in STEM related programs, thirteen high school students (10th and 11thgrade) were invited to participate in a two-week summer camp at North Carolina A&T StateUniversity (NCAT) campus. The team that conducted the workshop is composed of two NCATfaculty members, one undergraduate student and a high school teacher. The workshop took placebetween July 9 and 20th, and started at 9 AM, and ended at 5 PM. The lunch break was at 12 noon(lunch was provided). The main objective of the workshop was to prepare a pipeline of students inthe area of advanced manufacturing and 3D-printing.In

Students of non-engineering majors often select the course to learn more about theengineering profession and to find out how well it may fit their personal interests. The coursecontent varies among higher education institutions, but they all place a significant emphasis on thedelivery methods and the course outcomes. An online research of the latest posted offerings andcatalogs shows the topics covered by the course and the credit hours dedicated to it

American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 ENHANCING UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTSABSTRACTUncertainty is involved in all engineering measurements, and it must be taken into accountbefore making any critical engineering decision. It is essential to draw the attention ofengineering students to uncertainty analysis. The law of propagation of uncertainty isconventionally taught in undergraduate engineering programs. However, many students find itcumbersome and intimidating for complex performance functions. In this paper, two alternativemethods, Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) and Sequential Perturbation (SP) are discussed, andtheir effectiveness in understanding and applying the notion of

Education, 2019 Sustainable Design Experience: The Race to Zero CompetitionAbstractThe architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry has become more complex,requiring changes in both design and construction processes and demanding more collaborationamong all the stakeholders. Enhancing collaboration in the AEC industry highly depends onchanges in the education of AEC professionals to provide an educational venue for students toexperience collaborative learning and develop the required professional culture and skills. Byusing the Purdue Team’s experience in the 2018 RTZ competition as a case study, this paperprovides insight into the interdisciplinary collaboration experience of designing a zero-energybuilding (ZEB) and
