, Technology, Engineering,and Mathematics (STEM) programs at all levels does not meet the need of the industry. This needis more urgent at the graduate, specifically, the master’s level (NSF, NSB, 2022).Our goal has been to create and institutionalize best practices for the recruitment, retention, andtimely graduation of master’s students to create a sustainable pipeline to address this need at thegraduate level. Hence, we attempted to expand this pipeline by creating an environment thatattracts, supports, and retains historically or traditionally marginalized or minoritized and diversepopulations. According to the literature, there are a series of activities that are proven for therecruitment and retention of low-income and academically talented, and
and integrate engineering sci-ence and design wherever possible in all courses and laboratories.Along with philosophical changes, the availability of new tools to support design (e.g. personal computers, micro-processors and simulation tools such as Spice, MATLAB® and LabView®) have changed the curriculum and thestudents’ ability to engage in and complete more difficult and realistic projects. The 1980s saw the first integrationof computers into senior design projects and the advent of projects based on robotics and microprocessors. Besidesthe obvious benefits of these tools in enhancing the capabilities of students to successfully attack “real-world”problems, these technological advances also promote interdisciplinary projects.BackgroundThe
to explore engineering challenges in the classroom.Much of teaching is focused on the knowledge and comprehension levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy.When the focus changes from teaching to learning then the outcome expected is raised to theapplication, analysis, synthesis and evaluation levels of Bloom’s taxonomy. Reality learningenables and challenges students to work on higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy. The goal ofreality learning is to engage students’ minds using tools and processes including generatinginformation that they may combine in new ways to produce new output.Blackboard software is used to free up class time. Much of the knowledge and comprehensionareas are done using technology. This frees class time for reality learning. Students
Session 1668 Inclusion of Hands-on Interactive Programs for Teaching Statics G.V. Narayanan University of Toledo nara@utoledo.eduThe Statics course is the first course in mechanics that is offered to the sophomore/juniormechanical engineering technology student. It is always a challenge to the student interms of good understanding of the subject. Of course, the instructor plays an importantpart for his better understanding of the subject, even if the textbook is very good. Theinstructor knows the consequences of giving too many homework problems
hadtrouble correctly identifying failure modes, because this was probably their first attempt at failureanalysis, but the experience was motivational because it involved real-life components andcreative writing.IntroductionA reverse case study was used in the sophomore-level Materials Testing course at MissouriUniversity of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) during the spring semester of 2012. Thisone-credit-hour laboratory course accompanies the mechanics of materials course required ofmany engineering majors. The inspiration for this unique type of case study came from DeborahA.

These programsmost often select the top undergraduate students to perform research at prestigious universities.The REU that is the topic of this paper takes another approach in order to broaden theparticipation of community college students in STEM majors and careers. The NanotechnologyREU with a Focus on Community Colleges brings the top students from local two year campusesto a top-tier university for a 10-week research internship. Students traditionally underrepresentedin STEM fields including minorities, females, first generation to attend college, andeconomically disadvantaged are targeted for participation in this REU program.

personally painful. So far our students(both on-campus and remote) are very appreciative of this resource. All agree, though, that novirtual experience can fully replace hands-on learning: it must be retained. We also recognize thevalue of occasional face-to-face interaction for effective problem solving and clarification ofmisunderstandings on the material, etc. The key idea is that we can retain these clearly desirableelements as per a traditional class while at the same time leveraging the resources offered by thetechnology to ease the burden on the student without sacrificing quality.Since we are still new to the technology that enables the VSC, there will likely be otherunforeseen applications that will benefit engineering education.

Participating students work as part of an engineering design team under theguidance of a faculty advisor and alongside a dedicated workplace mentor to solve a “real-world” problem identified and provided by NASA. Over the course of one or two semesters,each team simultaneously secures funding for their individual project and satisfies course creditrequired for graduation.The opportunity to engage in substantive student research is the hallmark of the program’s effortto encourage and prolong student interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)related academic studies and careers.

variouspositions, we found that student staff use the makerspace not just because of external factors,such as coursework, but also because of the assets they bring to the space.What is a makerspace?Makerspaces are prevalent in institutions across the world and especially prevalent inundergraduate engineering programs. Makerspaces are informal, opt-in STEM (science,technology, engineering, mathematics) spaces and are increasingly recognized for their potentialto increase student access to and engagement with STEM [5], [6], [7]. Over the past two decades,research has highlighted the benefits of makerspaces, including engineering specific skills, suchas prototyping, supporting student design projects, entrepreneurship, and innovation, [8], [9],[10].
