the first semester, the instructors encouraged students to use “DesignThinking” to guide their efforts in defining the elements in the exhibit (which correspond tostudent projects). The Design Thinking steps are: empathizing with the customer (i.e., theparticipant, in the case of the exhibit), defining the elements in the exhibit, ideating about how torealize the elements, and next to make and test low fidelity prototypes (that is, prototypes madewith a relatively small investment in time and energy and just good enough to be able to tell ifthe current approach is good). Design Thinking was developed in the late 1950’s through acollaboration of faculty from the departments of Mechanical Engineering and Art andArchitecture at Stanford

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

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
