spentseveral weeks discussing the meaning of “equitable and sustainable STEM education.” Thegroup found that developing empathy for other communities is an important and recurring themeamong curricula that are designed with equity in mind [4-6], and hands-on activities arewidespread [6-8]. In addition, STEM literacy and the integration of multiple STEM areas werecommon themes [9-13]. Among all of the articles reviewed, the team found Jackson et al.’s“Equity-Oriented Conceptual Framework for K-12 STEM Literacy” [4] to be especially relevantand helpful in guiding the development of the lesson activities. Overarching themes thatappeared repeatedly in the team’s literature review and guided the subsequent work on theproject include the following

The objective ofthis project was to design a smart wireless sprinkler system to be used in residential and smallbusinesses. A wireless sensor network was designed and used throughout a lawn that tookperiodic moisture measurements and sent the data to the sprinkler control system, so that the unitcan make informed decision about what areas of a lawn need to be watered. The system that wasdesigned can be easily retrofitted into any existing sprinkler system. The top-level view of thesystem for their design is shown in Figure 1.

The breakdown of eachfactor can be found in the tables below. s part of the exploratory factor analysis, we named the factors to determine underlying themesAin grouping the survey items. Factor 1 included survey items related to limited growth, lack of flexibility, and discouraged creativity, so we called this factor “Limited Innovation and Growth.” Factor 2 included survey items related to slow work, unproductive work, and isolation, so we called this factor

decided that cold air wouldbe a better option to be noticeable in all conditions and clothing types. To achieve this, a vortextube is used to convert the compressed air into cold air. For the air to be noticeable from at least 6feet away, the ideal velocity out of the nozzle needs to be 1.5-2 m/s. Because of this, a 100 SCFMEXAIR vortex tube was used for this design. The breech simulation already uses an air compressorfor the other operations, so a branch hose will be taken off the compressor to provide air for thevortex tube.With the original visual recoil system already finished, the team decided that for not only ease ofuse but also ease of manufacturing, the ring would be modified to fit the vortex tube and compo-nents needed

Underrepresented Minorities in Aerospace EngineeringAbstractTraditionally, aerospace engineering disciplines are substantially underrepresented by AfricanAmerican, Hispanic, and female students. For example, Black and Hispanic American studentscollectively earn only 10.6%, 8.4%, and 6.4% of the BS, MS, and Ph.D.’s in aerospaceengineering, respectively. They are among the lowest percentages of all major engineeringdisciplines, leading to underutilization of the talent pool in the aerospace industry. 1 To tackle thisconcern, a multi-institution coalition sponsored by NASA is established to engageunderrepresented minorities in coordinated educational and professional development activities,including senior design projects, undergraduate research experiences
