students experience work in diverse teams. Concurrent with the 2016presidential election and during the collection of interview data as a part of this larger study, ashift occurred in the national discourse around diversity. As such, we sought to understand howthis shift in the national discourse did or did not influence engineering students in STEMclassrooms. As a part of acknowledging the changing sociopolitical discourse occuring on anational scale in our own research, we included additional interview questions related to studentsattitudes about recent national events while conducting our planned research on students’attitudes about diversity. We felt that this shift in the research plan was warranted to capture howstudent attitudes may be

In ourcomparison, the China program provided more cultural intensity, but both programs seem tohave provided research intensity (i.e., opportunities to be challenged and develop). However, thecultural experience may have outshone the research challenges for the China participants, as theycertainly focused more on those topics during their interviews.Both IRES programs have several more years remaining, and we plan to continue collecting datafrom both programs. As we build up a larger pool of participants across years, we will alsoexplore the results of the pre/post surveys for cultural intelligence that we have administered. Weare curious to see

The positive impact of these advisors was brought up on five uniqueoccasions throughout the three focus groups. The students described that the advisors werehelpful for staying on track for course and university requirements. UC Davis departmentadvisors work with only one to three majors, and therefore have the knowledge to suggest coursesequences and help plan degree requirements.

As explained above, previous efforts assumedthat all project instruction was done informally by advisors and that classroom sessions were foradministrative usage. Starting in Fall 2015, the department approved a plan to use classroomsessions for a mix of instruction, project work, and reporting of results by all teams. To furtherconnect the classroom sessions with the projects, all faculty advisors agreed to participate inclassroom sessions.

Of course the RSS fluctuation can occur in this case as well, but the distance between the smartphones carried by the same student is very short. Hence the RSS values tend to be stable and high. Fig. 14 depicts the RSS values between two smartphones located less than 1m distance. The RSS values are quite higher than those of the previous measurements, and thus the attendance cheating can be detected. We plan to substantiate this idea as future work. Figure 15.

more than others, hands-on experience is an essential element of learning. Inengineering, many concepts simply cannot be fully taught in a lecture hall or out of a textbook.The teaching of these concepts requires the development of a supplement to the textbook, whichdemonstrates the interplay between basic electromagnetic theory and engineering practice.5 Inthe long term, the plan is to create a laboratory component for EE 330 in which the students willspend two hours every week complementing what they have learned in lecture and practiced inhomework problems with hands-on experience using current tools and technology to solve real-world problems. In the short term, two new hands-on laboratory activities have been created tocompliment the four

The subjects stated two reasons for these change in plans. First that for thecareer field they had chosen to enter, an advanced degree was not necessary and/or was notparticularly useful. The added fear that turning down a job offer to instead attend graduate schoolwould account for a lost opportunity with that employer in the future was cited as an additionalreason for a change in academic and career plans.Not surprisingly, full-time subjects all agreed that their previous co-op experiences specificallyhelped eased the transition to full-time employment as an engineer

This smaller-scale, less-intense design exercise combines elements of design crea-tivity, decision making, engineering and cost assessments, project planning, and technical (oral)communication. A habitat-like structure is to be designed by arranging a variety of hexagonalprisms - differing in weight and functional characteristics - upon a site map of hexagonal spaces.The overall goal is to design a buoyant structure that is aesthetically appealing, cost competitiveand functionally sound, with adequate anchorage. Our H-O-H (or H2O, for short) designexercise was modeled after the ‘Delta Design’ project of MIT3, with appropriate adaptations tothe marine
