Ourapproach in implementing M&I was to make gradual changes in all these areas.M&I was first offered at Georgia Tech as a small, pilot section of about 40 students, taught by apost-doctoral fellow hired expressly for the purpose of assisting in implementing and teachingthe curriculum. As shown in Table 1, the number and size of lecture sections using the M&Icurriculum have expanded since then. By spring 2008, approximately 30 percent of students Page 13.707.3enrolled in the introductory physics sequence were in M&I-based sections. The number

Prior studies call formore research around increasing team members’ “role repertoires” or the number of different rolesan individual can take on based on what is needed by the team as a potential benefit to teamperformance [9].The connection between increasing diversity in STEM fields, student retention, and students’ability to practice different team roles during their undergraduate careers is worth investigating.According to the University of Colorado Boulder, since 2010 the number of female students inundergraduate engineering degrees has risen while their retention and graduation

unable to meet highexpectations. They tend to demand less academically and behaviorally, which translates intofewer opportunities to achieve and a decreased chance of graduating and going on to highereducation. As an example of this belief system, one teacher at a low-income school once said ofher students [6]: “We need to tell them, ‘You’re not all going to college.’ Some are not collegematerial and we should tell them that. They should set lower goals and follow them.” To combat this issue found in many underserved communities, we designed andimplemented a number of after school programs for at-risk elementary, middle, and high schoolstudents who have expressed or demonstrated interest in any aspect of science, technology,engineering and/or

A primarygoal in this course is the integrated presentation of all the thermal-fluid disciplines, as well asothers such as materials, mechanics and economics, in a project which requires a "systems"treatment. This invariably requires computer modeling of the system to permit parametric analysisand tradeoff studies, both technical and economic. This task is alien to most students at the juniorlevel and many struggle with it, while others relish the challenge. After becoming

Engineering programs, in general, andcapstone design programs, in particular, that seek innovative conceptual solutions to complexproblems would benefit from techniques to develop and assess student creativity. Therefore, astudy was performed to evaluate two such techniques. Over the first two years of the study,capstone design students in the United States Air Force Academy’s Department of EngineeringMechanics were each assigned to one of 14 teams which received various learning experiences(treatments) intended to enhance individual creativity and design project

One uses arithmeticaland algebraic principles to understand sentences as equations with the parts of speech asvariables. Level Two focuses on more complex applications of “sentence algebra” to helpengineering writers troubleshoot common sentence-level errors and develop a clear, discipline-specific style. Level Three uses flowcharts as algorithms to teach the rhetoric behind effectivedocument structures. The system’s quantitative approach and bottom-up paradigm make it user-friendly for engineering students by guiding their ascent toward writing mastery using anapproach already encountered in the studentsstudies of math, physics, chemistry, and otherSTEM disciplines. The author is encapsulating this new math-based approach for
