research plan that examines (a) potential changes instudents’ educational and career plans, (b) which elements of the APEX program most stronglyrelate to student outcomes, and (c) factors influencing instructor satisfaction with FLCs.The APEX program aims to deliver computing education to diverse community college students,better preparing them for today’s increasingly digital workplace. Continued expansion andassessment of the program will allow us to improve the experience of both students andinstructors, and to encourage nationwide adoption of embedding computing experiences intointroductory community college courses.References[1] R.

aligns with the loading test and falls within therange of reported laboratory tests as documented in the work of Yang et al12. Using theseparameters, the stability analysis indicates that the first mode of lateral buckling is produced with630 pounds, as shown in Figure 11-b. The lateral buckling from the laboratory test occurs with290 pounds, however the buckling shape is like the theory. The disparity between the predictedand observed loads is attributed to misalignment of the upper chord and other imperfectionsinherent in the construction process. 100 pounds a.

that teams affected with either situation were provided appropriate accommodations.o Prototyping v/s mass production: It was observed that students struggled with differentiating between a manufacturing plan for a functional prototype versus a manufacturing plan for mass production. This might have been because students’ knowledge of manufacturing processes grows during their time in ManP and they may be developing manufacturing plans without a full understanding of manufacturing.6. Conclusions and RecommendationsThis paper presented the design of a two-semester design-and-build interdisciplinary project.

such as fugacity and kinetics, onetechnique to make the theoretical challenges more approachable is to present the concepts morevisually, given the general preference of students in STEM for visual learning. As such, thisresearch study focuses on the creation, compilation, and analysis of chemical engineering comicsgeared towards K-12 students. Comics have become increasingly more prevalent as visual learningtools, with a long history of their educational potential dating back to the 1940’s, so they could beused to help guide more students into chemical engineering without the stigma of the field beingtoo complex.A series of comics was created displaying how chemical engineering is found in everyday commonapplications, including chocolate and

In agreement withthis, Saw and Agger [41] found that high schools in rural and small-town settings have less APmath and science class; have less math and science fairs; are less likely to sponsor after schoolprograms; and are less likely to inform students about extracurricular math and scienceprograms. Students attending rural high school, then, tend to have less opportunities to engage inSTEM-related activities, and therefore, lower STEM participation.Conceptual Framework We draw on Main et al.’s [42] conceptual framework on the factors associated withengineering major choice across life stages to inform this study.
