Students put various loads on the 3beam (50g, 100g, 200g, 500g) and record the corresponding strain values. They calculate stressbased on beam bending theory (s=Mc/I) and compare that with the experimentally determinedvalue from the strain measurements (s=Ee).Be able to

This includes doing further research on atopic in order to support an argument being made against another student’s post or exploringother research because a student’s attention was brought to another aspect of the topic byanother student’s initial post. The final phase is the most important and is when a studentintegrates what s/he learned from discussion with other students (Wang & Chen, 2008). Thiswould typically be seen in a post later in the discussion after there has been enough discussionfor students to process the new perspectives and assimilate them to their understanding.

The key point is thatengineering students should develop these skills while pursuing engineering curriculum.However, it is important that they should also have a belief (self-efficacy) that they can use theseskills under various circumstances7.Purpose of the StudyWe introduce an approach for measuring personal perception of students' self-efficacy inengineering modeling and design courses. An instrument is proposed that can be used byeducators in engineering modeling and design courses to assess student perception of self-efficacy. Bandura, A. , " Self-efficacy", In V. S.

concept has grown since the late 1950’s. Krupczak andBlake (Blake & Krupczak Jr., 2014) have charted development of the concept, lookingparticularly at the intersection of technological literacy with engineering literacy. It shouldbe noted that the term “technological literacy” is more commonly used in the United Statesthan other nations. A sense of how technological literacy has become more prevalent inconversations on education can be seen by looking at the word frequency of the term usingthe Ngram viewing tool (Google, 2010). While this tool has significant biases and limitations(Pechenick, Danforth, & Dodds, 2015) the relatively high representation of scientific andtechnical literature in the corpus and the fact that “technological

University makerspaces serve as a central location for students topractice knowledge learned in the classroom, and hone their design skills.Antonucci-Durgan, et. al (2014), Dukart (2016), and Whitmer (2014) acknowledge academicmakerspaces as spaces where experiential education occurs. Two examples of experientiallearning opportunities are internships and cooperative learning (co-op) programs. Whileinternships and co-op programs are encouraged in engineering education settings, there are fewestablished opportunities of such opportunities at university makerspaces.

STEMstudents, to the right of Figure 1, have an ‘I’ shaped ability profile (i.e. M > S > V), incontrast to the ‘V’ shaped profile (i.e. M ≥ V > S) of the HSS students. Clearly, the ‘I’shaped profile, developed by high school, was a predictor of a STEM education path anddistance travelled on this path. Given that this predictor contains not just math ability butspatial ability also, STEM educators have reason to treat spatial ability in the same way asmath ability: assess incoming students for the ability and provide resources to address anyshortcomings in it. While it is now common to find math learning support centers co-existingbeside engineering schools

Integration of the instruction in design methods orprocesses could also occur in the one or two semester capstone experience [28]. Although manycurriculums have some small design content inserted into their early major’s courses, thecapstone experience may be the first time that students have been exposed to a formal, completedesign process.If the capstone project is the students’ first experience with implementation of the formal designprocess, students are likely to have difficulty understanding the motivation behind the designprocess [17

Internet accessibility outside of the classroom and in dormitories, etc.soon followed. Today, access to WiFi is something college campuses must have as theyare “graded on” it in many cases: the more Internet availability and better student access,the better the grades.2,3 Given the expansion of Internet accessibility and usage ofelectronic wireless devices, the natural progression is the use of such technology in theenhancement of education over those same decades.In the

In fact, some argue that deeplearning is simply a re-branding of neural networks, a technology that has been through several“hype-cycles 3 .” Neural networks date to as far back as the 1940’s and 1950’s. In 1957, FrankRosenblatt introduced the Perceptron, the forerunner of today’s modern neural networks.

that shading can not only inhibit the performance of the array, butcan cause power to be absorbed into shaded panels from non-shaded panels. The phenomenontermed hot-spot can occur when an imperfection in materials, flaws in fabrication, partial shadingor some form of damage to the panel(s) has occurred (Pandian, 2016).An important factor in the absorption of irradiance by PV panels is the state in which the solarfaced glass surface is maintained. Regular cleaning intervals are recommended and are usuallydetermined by both physical and geographic location of the array. Partial shading of PV panelsby foliage may exacerbate poorer performance due to organic material adhering to the glass suchas leaf debris, sap, or pollen. Airborne contaminants
