As a consequence, thecreation of the engineering programs could be accomplished through additional classes inmathematics, expansion of use of this new material in existing classes, increase in designexperiences in the curriculum, and the expansion of the capstone project experience. The need toadd significant additional new content as new classes was limited to the areas of Design forManufacture and Assembly and Machine Design.

The Intervention sections showedincreased PSVT:R scores over the Control section for the all students in the section with p=0.0019, and higher benefits for students who enter with low and mid level Pre-PSVT:R scores.There were significantly higher gains in PSVT:R for female students who entered with Low Pre-PSVT:R scores with an increase in 16% compared to 4% in the Control section, p = 0.0073.

The Project Procedure and Method The full version of the shaft design assignment statement is available in Appendix A. Theclass was almost entirely composed of senior students with advanced footing in engineeringmechanics and materials. For our comparative analysis, we first asked the machine design classto develop a MATLAB code capable of taking user inputs such as mean torque (Tm), alternatingtorque (Ta), mean bending moment (Mm), alternating bending moment (Ma), choice of material,and safety factor (n) (Appendix B). The program was expected to return estimated shaftdimensions for selected material. Figure 1 provides a

The Founding Chair andone of the founding faculty had experience with project-based engineering courses and movedquickly in identifying stakeholders that could make the projects authentic. In the first year, thefounding team co-designed and co-taught two engineering courses that culminated to (a) 5unique

We ask whetherthese relationships differ by gender and race, and consider how these relationships havesignificant consequence for gender and racial equality at this and similar companies. Ourfindings suggest that in our focal early-career cohort, White men have a reporting advantagerelative to all other race/gender groups over just a three-year span, especially in supportengineering and project management positions.As we consider our findings in context of sociological understandings of organizationalinequality, we look ahead to conversation with engineering faculty

Grand Challenges for Engineering,fourteen challenges facing modern society that reinforce the message that engineers use theircreative problem-solving skills to improve our world and shape the future. [17] [18] See Table 1for a list of the Grand Challenges. Each of these challenges impact people around the world andusing these challenges as framing for engineering projects and lessons can engage students whoare interested in having a career that helps others or solves problems they observe in theireveryday life.Most of the work evaluating the impact of the Grand Challenges has focused on undergraduateengineering majors and their perceptions of lessons based on Grand Challenges.

He had been actively involved in planning, designing, supervising, and constructing many civil engineering projects, such as roads, storm drain systems, a $70 million water supply scheme which is comprised of treatment works, hydraulic mains, access roads, and auxiliary civil works. He had developed and opti- mized many highway design schemes and models. For example, his portfolio includes a cost-effective pavement design procedure based on a mechanistic approach, in contrast to popular empirical procedures. In addition, he had been equally engaged in the study of capacity loss and maintenance implications of local and state

. What themes emerge from studies’ findings about the impact of outreach on undergraduates?Method The first steps were to develop inclusion and exclusion criteria for the review. Criteria forincluding the papers were fourfold: (1) describe programmatic outreach efforts from one or morecolleges of engineering to K-12 audiences, (2) include undergraduate engineering students asambassadors or mentors, (3) take place within the continental United States, and (4) includeevidence of impacts on the undergraduate students. In other words, papers were excluded if they(1) described undergraduate involvement in service learning, affinity group, or communityengagement projects, (2) included undergraduates simply as chaperones or creators of

learning). The social, behavioral and cognitive theoriesthat underpin cooperative learning support students to share their motivation and work towards acommon goal, and structure new knowledge by linking to existing knowledge. Another exampleis project-based learning, defined as self-directed and collaborative work to apply knowledge to alegitimate problem [12]. Problem based learning is commonly used as the model in capstonedesign courses for engineering majors, where students apply their previously gained knowledgeto a final year project [13], and work in small groups to solve a problem in a self-directedmanner [14].2.2 – Models of expertise sharingDistributed expertise within an educational setting, with its roots in Lave’s situated
to increase students’ technical skills as related to the design process, it also aims to buildconfidence and develop students’ abilities to work not only with their peers but also withinstructors and local clinicians. During the students’ senior years, they are required to take SeniorDesign 1 during the fall semester and Senior Design 2 during the spring semester. As aprerequisite to Senior Design, the Clinical Observations and Needs Finding course is intended tointroduce students to the design process. Projects that are initially developed in ClinicalObservations are intended to be carried to Senior Design, where prototype creation occurs. Thiscourse fits logically into the undergraduate biomedical engineering curriculum, but the
