As the heart contracts and relaxes, the heart valvesopen and close to ensure the correct flow of blood in the heart. Heart valves are extremelyimportant as they ensure the correct volume and pressure of blood is being released with eachcontraction of the heart.Heart valve disease occurs if one or more of the heart’s four valves: the tricuspid, pulmonary,mitral, and aortic valves do not work well, or function poorly.12 It is typically caused by heartconditions and disorders, age-related changes, rheumatic fever or infections.12 There are two maintypes of heart valve disease: regurgitation and stenosis.13 Regurgitation occurs when the valve(s) 2018 ASEE Mid

Pedagogy AbstractThe purpose of this work-in-progress (WIP) paper is to report on an ongoing study that used Chiand Wylie (2014)’s Interactive, Constructive, Active, and Passive (ICAP) framework (I > C > A> P) to survey the degree to which LC-DLMs foster cognitive engagement as students learn abouta venturi meter in a fluid mechanics and heat transfer course. Fredricks, Blumenfeld, and Paris(2004) define cognitive engagement as the effort students invest in understanding what they arelearning. Indeed, cognitive engagement is critical for effective teaching and learning inengineering. Although there is research evidence showing that students learn better with hands-onapproaches than traditional

Recruitment, Mentoring and Retention through the Aerospace and Industrial Engineering (ASPIRE) Scholarship Program1. IntroductionThe overarching goal of the Aerospace and Industrial Engineering (ASPIRE) Scholarshipprogram is to improve recruitment and retention of aerospace engineering (AE) and industrial(IE) engineering students. With support from the NSF S-STEM program, the ASPIRE programprovides scholarships to academically talented, full-time AE and IE students with demonstratedfinancial need. The ASPIRE program enhances the educational experience of ASPIRE studentsthrough mentoring and networking events. The objectives of the ASPIRE program are to: • Prepare students for the workforce. • Provide educational
engagement of industry mentors with the students has increased the number ofinternships with the region. The interaction of students in competitions motivates the students totake on more challenging projects in STEM areas than they would engage in with traditionalcourses. Finally, having students carry out lessons and activities builds self-confidence andspeaking skills.References1.

STEM transfer students exist. Programs such as summer bridge programs, mentoring,tutoring, learning communities, and other activities are fairly common at the undergraduate levelin STEM fields, and many of these programs have historically been funded by NSF STEP and S-STEM programs. Few systematic studies of interventions have been conducted, however. Localassessment data, typically published in conference papers and reports, support the efficacy of theseinterventions; however, no systematic reviews of the considerable literature have been found. Tosignificantly and positively impact representation of Hispanic scientists and engineers, we need acomprehensive synthesis to (a) develop patterns of successes and failures of Hispanic STEMtransfer

More recent studies indicate that persons with disabilities may move through aprocess of seven types of identities: isolated affirmation, apathy, resignation, situationalidentification, affirmation, crusadership, and normalization [2]. Studies also indicate that the arts,including the visual arts, can be a tool to aid transition through these identities to enhance
