during the comment period that questioned “theviability of single-sex programs such as an educational science program targeted at youngwomen and designed to encourage their interest in a profession in which they areunderrepresented,” these agencies did agree that “[s]uch courses may, under appropriatecircumstances, be permissible as part of a remedial or affirmative action program.”24Unfortunately, these agencies did not provide an explanation of what such “appropriatecircumstances” might be. Nevertheless, an educational institution that can clearly articulate asound rationale for offering an engineering outreach program for only young women can proceedwith some confidence that such a program likely will survive scrutiny under Title IX.Separate

learning.Out of a total of 40 students in the course, 33 consented to provide their information for the studyand also completed both the pre- and post-course surveys (an 82.5% completion rate). Changesin the self-efficacy scores were evaluated relative to student gender, ethnicity, and ACTcomposite score. These data were obtained with student consent from the office of the Registrar.A total of 17 female and 16 male students were surveyed. Ethnicities were divided into threesub-categories: (1) White (any students with White as their only race, N = 21), (2) Asian (anystudents with Asian or Asian and White listed as their race(s), N = 7), and (3) UnderrepresentedMinorities (URM, any students listed as Hispanic, Native American, Black, or Pacific Islander

He is a Co-Director of the NYS STEP Program, IMPETUS which provides economically disadvantaged students the opportunity to pursue their interest in math and science though educational summer camps, workshops, school-year tutoring and mentoring programs. He has helped provide numerous students and teachers with the opportunity to integrate STEM disciplines using real-world problem solving strategies through teacher/coach training institutes and contest coordination. He is the Adirondack Regional Science Olympiad Coordinator.Robert Prout Jaspersohn, Clarkson University Robert Jaspersohn is a PhD candidate in Physics at Clarkson

back of the chapter homework problems. Students use the equations they learned in classto a hypothetical problem to get an answer by inserting numbers into the equation. One such question fromFundamentals of Aerodynamics book by John Anderson [5] (which is adopted by most instructors as arequired textbook for aerodynamics course) is given below:Consider a NACA 2412 airfoil. The airfoil is flying at a velocity of 60 m/s at a standard altitude of 3 km.The chord length of the airfoil is 2m. Calculate the lift per unit span when the angle of attack is 4°.In this problem, students have to employ the equation of lift per unit span 𝐿′ 1 𝐿′ = 𝜌𝑉 2

staying compatible with current ABET accreditation criteria. This effort resulted ina total of thirteen program outcomes, which cover the breadth of the principles included in theBOK2.In 2011 two external forces have resulted in changes to the BSCE program. The University ofArkansas is strictly enforcing the statewide ‘core curriculum’ for Arkansas institutions of highereducation. Formerly, the engineering programs at the University of Arkansas enjoyed anexception to the state core requirements by specifying humanities and social science (H&S)courses based on an interpretation of ABET EC2000 criteria. This allowed advanced-level H&Scourses in the curriculum. With the enforcement of the statewide core, all H&S courses arelimited to
feedback on issues like aesthetics,ergonomics, and theme, as well as for marketing research and cost analysis. Prototyping is usedby engineers to provide manufacturing and assembly data, to investigate system integrationissues and to develop analysis and testing strategies. In some cases, prototyping is also used inthe concept generation phase of the design process to assist designers to either expand or contractthe set of possible concepts. Clearly prototyping is an important part of most design processes.We define the prototyping strategy as the set of decisions that dictate what actions will be takento accomplish the development of the prototype(s). Prototyping strategies include a variety ofdifferent options. In the broadest sense, prototypes
Page 22.1629.10 The curriculum requires a proficient if not advanced knowledge of certain buildingsimulation strategies to execute the analysis approaches central to the proposed course’sconcepts. There are many software packages and pathways and each have certain strengths andweaknesses when it comes to building performance modeling. This section focuses on thecriteria upon which to select the appropriate tools for the curriculum. The students will need some previous knowledge of a few different performancemodeling software applications. Primarily, they will need proficiency with software(s) capable ofreliable yearly thermodynamic modeling for multiple zone buildings. It is critical that thesoftware be able to compute the load
Student Responses for Q1For Q1 - “Who is the client?”, students are required to identify the direct client. This is theperson(s) who will utilize the written procedure or solution developed by the team. Descriptionsof the types of clients identified by students and sample student responses are shown in Tables 1-3. For each MEA, the types of clients are divided into four categories: 1) the direct client, 2) theindirect client, 3) non-clients, and 4) multiple clients - a combination of 1-3. For MEA 1 (Table1), the direct client is the technical installation team of TLP (a security system company) whowill install the security laser system and ultimately use the written procedure developed by theteam. The indirect clients include the CEO of TLP and

focused on K-12 CS education in which girls are participants in the studies?. We chose to use an existing, publicly-available dataset of 800+ articles and examined studies in which only girls were participants (n=51), then examined each of the 51 articles to determine which key CAPE component(s) each covers. Our pilot results show that CSER among girls covers areas related to Experience (92%) and Capacity (59%), but little to no coverage in the areas of Access (0%) and Participation (2%) of girls. To answer the primary research question and determine the feasibility of using CAPE for analyzing the entire corpus of 800+ articles (which is the next step in our research plan), we evaluated feasibility
