students and faculty in a variety ofscience and engineering fields. The paper focuses on engineering at colleges and universitiesbecause of the role which these institutions have in inspiring both women and men to chooseengineering as a field, and their potential to change the composition and size of the futureworkforce. Findings include that for fields dominated by men in the 1960s 1) those fields withthe highest (or lowest) proportions of women students in the 60’s still have the highest (orlowest) proportions of women students today, and 2) the proportion of women students is highlycorrelated with the proportion of women faculty in a field. This may suggest that increasing thenumber of women faculty may be a strategy for more rapidly attracting
StudyFigure 1 depicts a schematic of the simulated system. An object with mass, m, is locatedon a flat surface. One edge of the surface is lifted up to form an angle, α, with the ground.The static friction coefficient, µ s, is given. The purpose of this test is to determine theangle of inclination when the object starts the motion by using a digital simulation tool. m = 100 kg µ s = 0.6 Fw = mg α Figure 1.

retrieval from a T-s chart. Following the lecture, a group activity wasconducted to assess student comfort with paper-based property charts for property retrieval.When surveyed, student opinion was highly favorable towards the use of videos for instruction,review, and the visual approach. The direct outcome of the control and treatment activitiesshowed statistically significant advantage (p-value 0.038) of this approach. Students displayedadequate competence in solving water property problems using property charts. The results alsoshowed how the use of property charts reinforces the thermodynamic fundamentals, as opposedto the use of online databases or the steam tables. The implementation yielded a marked decreasein lecture time dedicated to

In this work, students learn AM processes by comparinginexpensive 3D printers, three DLP (FlashForge Hunter, MoonRay S, and Phoenix Touch ProTranslating) and one FFF (MakerBot Replicator 2) 3D printer. These students’ explorations of new3D printing technologies exemplify “expansion,” the fifth stage of the students’ 3D printingexpertise evolution [33].Curricular ContextEven though 3D printers are used in many courses, the 3D printing lab/lecture modules areformally introduced in detail in a required one-semester, three credit-hours senior-level Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) course in two engineering programs: Bachelor of Science inEngineering with specialization in Mechatronics (BSE-Mechatronics) and Industrial Engineering(IE

Optimization patterns vary between teamsand show some relation to teams’ final design(s) performance.IntroductionReal world engineering is typically a complex process requiring a high degree of collaboration.To prepare students for such an environment many faculty members embed team based designwork in their courses. In fact, engineering design and teamwork are both required components

In addition, we found itwas not only the engineering classes, clubs, and teams that seemed to affect the sense ofbelonging, but also where the participants lived. Our preliminary results indicate that students’making experiences, especially in the context of project teams, influence how they feel asengineers.

In their research,they found that the N400 component modulated depending on whether the stimulus wasperceived as common (low novelty, high appropriateness), creative (high novelty, highappropriateness), or nonsense (high novelty, low
