Withthe extension of the cultural identity of particular songs and the association of genres withbehaviors,24 the links between personality, values, and grouping behavior related to musicalpreference suggest that there may be a relationship between musical preference and majorchoice. The perceived cultural differences between engineering disciplines25 and the factors ofpersonal interest and social pressures on engineering discipline choice26 may also extend thisrelationship towards the choice of an engineering discipline. Therefore, we explore whether apreference for a particular musical genre(s) correlates with the selection of a particularengineering

Additionally, the principal of the high school that is involved with this program has agreedto provide SAT/ACT scores and future graduation data (e.g., college major) of the participants aswell as of non-participant classes. This information will be used to measure the effectiveness ofthe program as well as the improvement year-to-year and the improvement cohort-to-cohort.References1 H. E. Dudeney and M. H.

engineering education-related awards, and type(s) of contributions to the field.Ultimately, 47 people were interviewed, with an emphasis on pioneers who were near retirementor had already retired. Resources limited the number of pioneers who could be interviewed andprofiled. Further, not all invited pioneers were interested or able to participate. We acknowledgethat this is just a sample of the many people who have substantially contributed to engineeringeducation and hope that this work can be expanded to include more of them.Data analysisAll 47 interviews were audio recorded and transcribed. Using qualitative analysis software(ATLAS.ti), the transcripts were coded for the contributions and impacts reported by thepioneers, drawing primarily on
greater impact in the continuous improvement efforts.References[1] Sirinterlikci, A., & Kerzmann, T. L.

Incremental and continual improvement: Each of the five pilots in his/her class section wasgiven the opportunity to fly the drone for at least two trials. The pilots increased their flyingspeed average from 4.3 ft/s to 4.7 ft/s from the first to the second trial. Furthermore, the standarddeviation of the time recorded decreased from 2.4 seconds to 1.2 seconds, showing incrementalimprovement of accuracy. This can be attributed to both a refinement of piloting skills and betteraccuracy of time data collection by paying closer attention to starting and stopping the watch.Those who observed the experiment and sought out error sources continually improved byidentifying patterns
solid model initially provided by the OEM (which wasmade purposefully deficient to illustrate the effect of poor modeling) and incorrectly predicted thefailed component(s). The next instructional phase was in experimental setup, nondestructivemeasurement techniques, data acquisition systems, and analysis of experimental data. This led tostudents running destructive experiments on real OEM assemblies in the lab, and discovering thattheir predictions did not match reality. We took advantage of the teaching opportunity to illustratethe effect of problem setup in meshing the solid models; students corrected and optimized theirmodel and were able to correctly predict the failed component. This exactly mirrors what happensin the OEM’s own labs.The

Students in theFall 2013 course participated in the traditional version of the course while those in the Fall 2014and Spring 2015 courses participated in the flipped version. There were no differences in GPA,age, or gender between students in the traditional versus flipped courses. However, students inthe flipped sections had slightly more International students.Quantitative resultsAnalyses were run to test whether differences existed between a traditional versus flipped courseon student performance, course

Rapid changes in the nature of work, education, technology, workforce demographics, and international competition have led to the National Science Board (NSB, Board) to conclude that our competiveness, security, and research enterprise require this critical, but often overlooked segment of our STEM-capable workforce.

lack of participants understanding other points of view and a lack ofconnectedness with other participants. In prior years, this lack of connection led to studentsstruggling with at least two components of the engineering design process: 1. students werereluctant to collaborate with their peers, as they were often “stuck” on using their own ideas and2. students had difficulty defining the purpose for their designs, or in other words, difficultyexplaining the problem(s) they were trying to solve [13]. These findings were a springboard forconsidering how to effectively integrate empathy and engineering as the thread which weaves theprogram together. Program designers intentionally wove empathy connections with people’sreal-life stories into the

they relied on for their sense of recognition as scientists. In theirstudy, all the women saw themselves as science people; that is, they identified as scientists. Theirinternalized recognition, coupled with the recognition by meaningful others, further reinforcedwomen’s identities as scientists. As such, external recognition played a critical role in validatingtheir competence as knowledgeable science people. All of the women in Carlone and Johnson’s[21] study were professionals or working towards a terminal degree, thus maintaining a steadfastinterest in their career pursuits.

Using a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, WGS 250 investigates how STEM fields both shape and are shaped by ideas and assumptions about gender and identity. Topics include feminist critiques of science, intersections of gender with technology design/use, gender and the built environment, and links between gender and “doing” STEM. Learning Outcomes: ● Demonstrate an understanding of core critical concepts in the field(s) of feminist STEM studies, particularly critiques of objectivity, neutrality, and evidence. ● Identify and articulate the mutually constitutive intersections of social categories
