To attend the summer program, students simply need to be fluent inspoken and written English, and enrolled in an undergraduate engineering program in their homecountry: there are no set requirements for academic level or achievement. Additionally, admittedstudents are eligible to take any set of short courses, regardless of their engineering specialty. Asa result, our robotics short course had to be accessible to students who had never worked withembedded systems before while at the same time it needed to engage and challenge thosestudents who already had robotics project experience.The second major challenge we faced is that all of the presented material had to be

Its percentage of representationin the U.S. population is projected to increase to 29% by 2050 (Passel & Cohn, 2008). Inengineering, Latinxs continue to be underrepresented and while interventions and programmaticefforts have helped to increase the number of Latinx engineers in the United States, the increaseof this population in the United States is not proportionate with the current representation ofLatinxs in the field. Many research papers have been published on the efforts to addressrecruitment and retention of Latinx students in engineering, yet there still remains a lack ofunderstanding

A study of lecture capture of a first-year engineering course showedclass attendance was not affected and uploaded material was accessed by students as a mechanismof preparing for examinations (Bazylak, McCahan, and Weiss 2012). There is also a growing areaof research examining how homework behaviors in high school affect performance in highereducation. A two-part study found a positive correlation between homework completion rates inhigh school and first semester performance of engineering

This research project aims to address this gap by developing anddisseminating a model of disciplinary literacy in engineering. This model will draw uponexperiences and literacy practices performed by engineers in the engineering workplace.Engineering literacy practices include how engineers read, evaluate, interpret, synthesize, andcommunicate information within their

It provides society with new ideas, innovations, andchallenges. Undergraduate research is a project-based learning experience with little structure orguidelines. It can be overwhelming and intimidating to a student. Typical classroom workconsists of textbook-based homework assignments or projects with rubrics, guidelines, andstraight forward
to the principles ofoperation and electrical behavior of a number of electronic devices (principally the p-n junctiondiode, the MOSFET, and the BJT). An understanding of the I-V characteristics of these devicesis indispensable to understanding their use in circuits exploiting them as either linear or nonlineardevices. While simulation is valuable, it is arguably not a replacement of the demonstration ofthe I-V characteristics of real devices. A brief survey of ASEE literature on educational use ofcurve tracers is summarized below.Shwehdi et al [1] described a senior design project to build an instrument for measurement of thecurrent gain of NPN BJTs. This was not a curve tracer per se.Beams [2] described curve tracers that used an ad hoc
