ofcognitive ideation. Instead, human designers must generate new objective spaces for AI to exploreand discover logical relationships between parameters that achieve the objectives. In this way, GDrequires inverse thinking from the objective space to the parameter space, while in TD, designersare required to cognitively explore the parameter space to optimize towards the objective(s).Aims and SignificanceDesign paradigms (e.g., TD / PD / GD) each require the human to carry out a unique set of tasks[1], [3], [6], [7], [9] which in turn define design thinking [8], [10], [11]. Thus, each paradigm isaccompanied by a unique design thinking concept. TD requires a designer to engage in traditionaldesign thinking (TDT), PD activates parametric design

NationalCenter for Education Statistics (NCES), many university students in the United States are non-traditional. Despite these challenges, non-traditional students excel because they understand thevalue of a college degree in today's job market, particularly for certain engineering disciplineswhere a degree is required. Hispanic/Latino(a) students are often non-traditional and face unique challenges andobstacles in their pursuit of their degree. Hispanics/Latino(a)s are more likely than otherdemographic groups to work while attending college [2]. The high rate of labor forceparticipation among Hispanic/Latino(a) students can be seen as an example of intersectionality[3], as it is influenced by multiple factors, including their race, ethnicity

The tensions on either side of the pulley are not equal because the angular accelerationof the pulley is affected by the torque. The initial parameter values are: 10-kg incline-mass, 50-kg hanging-mass, pulley moment of inertia 20-kg-m-sq, pulley radius 0.3-m, coefficient of kineticfriction 0.2, and 35-degree slope angle. The system acceleration value was calculated as 1.47m/s/s. Changing the hanging-mass values or the incline-mass values would yield variousacceleration values using Newton’s law of motion. Adding random values would simulate labdata with

Informed by our pilot study, Grigg et al.’s [7] problem solving rubric, and our own experiences,we redesigned the ill-structured problem assignment used in spring 2017 and assigned it to 130 first-yearengineering students as a replacement for a 20-point exam question. The assignment required students toidentify and analyze a physical phenomenon using physics principles from the course. The module thatthis was assigned during focused on Newtown’s Laws, forces, circular motion, drag, terminal velocity,Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation, and weightlessness. Students were given two weeks tocomplete the assignment and

women to engineering, with specific attention to theofferings at the University of Louisville J.B. Speed School of Engineering.IntroductionWomen and minorities have been underrepresented by alarming proportions ininstitutions of higher education in general and in science and engineering (S&E)programs in particular over the last quarter century. Although more female and minorityhigh school students have at least heard of engineering, relatively few of them have hadthe opportunity to become familiar with engineers and the work they perform. As notedin Figure 1, Bachelor's degrees awarded in S&E and non-S&E fields by sex for the yearsof 1966–2004, nationally, women earn substantially more bachelor's degrees in non-S&Efields than
. The professor that wishes to treat such areas will be most successful in a laboratoryenvironment that includes computer monitor projection capabilities, as well as individual workstations. Inexamining the expanded utilization possibilities of engineering computer laboratories, though, other issues mustbe addressed before a strategy of implementation can be advocated. To explore the role of informationtechnology in the college classroom, we must more clearly define its missions in both the educationenvironment and the engineering workplace. We can then identify key areas that information technology andservices (IT&S), and specifically engineering computer laboratories, can assist in achieving these goals,supported by examples from the

universities.Whereas the nation has developed an excellent system of graduate education for basic researchduring the 1960’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s, it has not placed an equal emphasis on professionallyoriented graduate education to continue the professional development of our nation’s engineeringgraduates who enter engineering practice in industry. As a consequence, America’s primaryengineering resource for creative technological development and innovation in industry has notbeen fully developed to its potential during the last three decades.If we are to develop professionally oriented curriculum that is more aligned to the needs of theU.S. engineering workforce in industry, in order to ensure the nation’s competitiveness forworld-class technology development

Machine and compare the results with unwelded specimens.ProcedureTwo 6061 aluminum alloy plates (6x4x ¼ in) were welded together using the FSW process. Theweld was performed using tool rotational speed of 1200 rpm, the transverse speed of 4.5 mm/s,and plunging force of 5000 N. The welded plate was cut perpendicular to the welded line toproduce four rectangular strips. The strips were machined using CNC mill to make identicalspecimens for the tensile tests. The five steps of the welded specimens’ preparation and thegeometric characteristics of the test specimen are shown in Figure 3.
