to presenttheir social problem and solution with an additional five minutes allocated at the end of thepresentation for Q&A. Each group was also tasked with producing a marketing poster for theirproject to highlight their problem and solution. The students were given freedom as to thespecific content and layout of the poster, so long as it effectively advertised their solution. Theposters were hung throughout the engineering building so the general student population couldperuse what their peers had come up with and the students in the class could be proud of theirachievements. Three projects were presented during each section, and the students in the sectionvoted on the top project from each session. From this, 13 projects plus two

available only in the “gray”literature of think tanks, where validity is often assessed through critical readings by peers afterpublication, with responses issued from other think tanks. Compounding this difficulty is the factthat Louisiana carefully controlled the data from charter schools, releasing it only to a smallnumber of favored researchers, in violation of public records laws. The courts only sorted thisout in fall 2014.33Those who had privileged access to data touted success of charter schools: increasedstandardized test scores, increased graduation rates, and increased diversity (interpreted as ahigher number of white students enrolled).34,35 However, critics have pointed out methodologicalflaws in these studies, to the point where one

the class results of previous classes completing thecourse without the role play indicates that this special didactical element helped the student todevelop arguments in their final papers which show some strategic empathy. In the finalassignment students had the task to write a paper and to discuss two aspects. First, they had todevelop reasons and arguments about ordinary customers and their environmental behavior anddecision making. This prepared for developing the second aspect: “Please devise political meansfor changing the habits and taken-for-granted normalcy of customers.” In comparison to previousclasses, the students of the 2014 and 2015 classes were better prepared on average to think aboutthe reasons and motives of customers.

A University of Alabama dissertation researchexamined “first generation to attend college” students and found no significant difference in fearof failure, procrastination and self-efficacy when compared to their non-first generation peers(Stuart, 2013). However, when the population was sorted by gender, female students from bothfirst generation college attendance and non first generation showed significantly more fear offailure. Ironically, in this same study female students from both groups received higher firstsemester GPAs than their male counterparts.2.5 External versus Internal: Examining Environmental FactorsPerceived

Thestudents were perhaps uncomfortable with uncertainty and the lack of clear, correct answers; oruncomfortable sharing their personal opinions when they were uncertain if their peers agreed ordisagreed. Some students voiced open skepticism, wondering why we were even looking at amap of residency disaggregated by race and in reference to sea level in New Orleans.In-class Discussion: Social JusticeA full class

Manufacturing an orifice plate and itsparaphernalia is not part of this course in FEM.They are required to report their results as an “extended abstract” as per ASME conferenceguidelines. Most students have not experience writing scientific articles at this juncture in theircareer and the organized nature and conciseness of the “ASME extend abstract” format is a goodfoil for them to practice their scientific communication skills. To recount, the multi-fold nature ofthe project is as follows: • Use of Hypermesh to preprocess/set-up the problem, its boundary conditions, loading conditions, solution and post-processing of results. • Solution (with the use of

Unfortunately, inDecember 2015 the University issued a press release touting the health benefits of Fifth QuarterFresh on high school football players recovering from concussions without the study resultspassing through peer review.21 As several news stories highlighted, the press release timingcoincided with the debut of a major motion picture in the United
