I decided to attend theUniversity of San Diego, a wealthy, private, Catholic institution which I thought would besomewhat similar to my high school. However, leaving the islands and going to a predominantlyWhite institution in California had a culture shock that separated my racial and academicidentities. The courses, especially those in engineering, were almost entirely filled with whitestudents that had more engineering experience in their pasts through camps and programs. Ialways felt out of place being picked last for group projects, sometimes used as the tokenminority by some professors, and feeling that my cultural identity was useless in the engineeringdiscipline
project focuses on increasing coordination with industry and career-readiness of engineering students with ASD. Quality preparation during the job search processcontributes to the success of students with ASD to find meaningful employment. In the future,EASE aims to promote the engineering community and local engineering companies byincreasing persistence and employment statistics for students with ASD.References[1] R.E.A.

However, the responses suggestthere is somewhat stronger support to continue this model of flipped classrooms amongstudents in the initial course than from students in the senior course. It is possible students inthe senior course experienced greater stress since they were learning about vapor powersystems which involve solving time-consuming problems and working on individual thermaldesign projects when the survey was administered.The final question “Lastly, I would like your opinion about the course format (you don’t need tolike thermodynamics).

governed by unknown oscillatory plant dynamics. Further, the paddlepositioning suffers from substantial steady-state error, making it difficult to hit the ball. The goalof the game is to design a control system that compensates for the unwieldy paddle dynamics andrestores normal functionality of the game. Using this game, students approach learningobjectives in an enjoyable way that promotes knowledge transfer. While we have yet toimplement this game in the classroom, the goal is to integrate the game throughout the durationof a semester as a series of interactive projects that we outline in this paper. This will form thebasis of a media comparison study assessing student outcomes in a traditional control systemscourse vs. a GBL

However,when students started bringing their rubber ducks to exams, positive reviews of the scavengerhunt from students, and previous students verified that the new first-years would be getting theirducks, the author realized this activity had greater impact.
