with the local NAACPsuccessfully completed a two week in-house Residential Pre-Collegiate Summer Camp. Thecamp’s objectives were to increase the students’ awareness of STEM fields by exposing them toreal-world math and its application in related career fields. In order to meet these goals, acommittee consisting of individuals from various backgrounds including; academia, business,and community outreach was formed. In addition, a curriculum that incorporated math, a hands-on projects involving STEM, and an opportunity to develop relationships with STEMprofessionals was designed.The summer program was designed as a rigorous problem/project-based educational opportunitygeared toward motivated and academically able students who showed interest in

To aid in meshing the part, ten partitions were created onthe model in Abaqus as shown in Figure 1(b). The partitions help in creating a finer mesh aroundthe hole and in the vicinity of the fillet where the stress concentrations occur. The meshed model ofthe part is provided in Figure 1(c) showing the axial stress contour exerted on the plate. A CPS8Rtype element (An 8-node biquadratic plane stress quadrilateral, reduced integration element) wasused in the analysis to produce the displayed results.

Acquisition of manipulative skillsis only possible through the use of real instruments and real experimental data. Therefore, toenhance student learning, the technology curriculum must integrate the effective characteristicsof both computer simulations and hands-on lab activities.

Despite this, few universities count computer science (CS) classestoward the core curriculum. Recently, our university, a Hispanic- and minority-serving, researchintensive university located in the American Southwest began counting CS towards fulfilling thelaboratory science requirement in the undergraduate core curriculum. That our university servesa population overwhelmingly underrepresented in CS provided us with an opportunity toinvestigate the characteristics and perceptions of students who enroll in a course like this.Literature

undergraduates tends to include an understanding of transistors as digitalswitches, transistors organized into logic gates, and structuring logic gates into more complexfunctions such as arithmetic units, memories, and finite state machines. There are a number oftopics in this process including optimization for speed, area, power, and ease of design. The lastof these leads us to exploring schematic design versus HDL design (and possibly high-levelsynthesis techniques). These topics can be spread out over three to four courses, but can also havebeen taught in one to two courses depending on a universities resources and curriculum. Finally,most courses in this domain are accompanied with practical lab design, normally, throughsimulation in software such

There was no correlationwith ENGR or STEM GPA. It is also interesting to note that compared to questions 1 and 2,relatively few students got question 3 correct, and of those only a couple had the correctreasoning. In both classes, the third question was an “extra stretch” question, students had tocalculate multiple extra things or integrate several concepts to get the correct answer.
