investigated in the subsequent FEA-based vibration analysis. In general,student feedback on integrating the two vibration projects in the course is positive.1. Introduction Vibration is destructive in most mechanical systems and structures. Unbalance-inducedblade vibration causes fatigue in turbines and can eventually lead to failure. Machining vibrationin cutting tools can lead to a poor surface finish and reduce the life of cutting tools. Theannoying oscillation as a car ride over a bumpy road conveys an impression of poor quality tothe customers and the structure-borne cabin noise creates a nuisance to passengers. It is acceptedthat vibration in many cases is a limiting factor in machine designs and manufacturers setperformance standards for

To address thisgap, pre-college engineering programs play an important role by recruiting, encouraging, andmaintaining female students' interests in STEM. Research has identified some effective practicesto recruit girls in secondary schools into STEM majors, such as summer programs with genderparity (50% girls) [6]. However, such practice may only be effective when the programs alsoraise awareness of gender stereotypes and perceived gender roles that have an impact on STEMmotivation and engagement [2

IntroductionA common theme across university-level engineering courses is the overlooking of strategiesstudents use to learn material in favor of technical material coverage [1], [2], [3]. Causes for thisimbalance include educators’ beliefs that there is limited class time to teach an abundance ofnecessary information and that reflection, as an example of a learning strategy that engineeringeducators could develop, is better suited for humanities courses, not engineering [3].

This preliminary work is intended toseek feedback that will be helpful for expanding this work to a more extensive survey of facultythat fit this category. The most obvious challenge is the adjustment to teaching rather thanworking in an engineering production, design, or consulting environment for industry. However,the information presented here includes a myriad of challenges beyond teaching, includingdeveloping an academic research program through direction of graduate work, and satisfying thevarious professional development, service, and research requirements expected of universityprofessors [1, 2].The three
