for the company to get involved with the engineering program. The connection wasinitiated immediately after its relocation in 2007. However, one critical factor for the sustainedpartnership is due to the commitment of the company’s technology leader, Dr. Sun, who was anengineering faculty and who believes that it is mutually beneficial to have a strong academia-industry collaborative program.Starting with Dr. Sun, several people from Turbocor’s leadership team got involved with theschool serving in advisory councils at university, college and department-levels. While servingas a MEAC member, Dr. Sun began to sponsor senior design projects immediately after therelocation. Since 2007 until this year, the company has sponsored a total of nine
projects. These projects include roadways, utilities, bridges and buildings; including two LEED building projects, a library and fire station. Dr. Mosier’s areas of academic interests include heavy highway estimating and structural design. Her research interest has been the cost of sustainable construction to owners, specifically Oklahoma City. Additional work is on-going in area of sustainability in construction. Other research interests include technology in the classroom. Dr. Mosier is an active member of the American Public Works Associations, National Council of Struc- tural Engineers Associations, and is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and Chi Epil- son. c
. With the evolving technology and engineering principles, modern turbines are designedwith larger, more aerodynamic blades to maximize power production. These blades take the formof airfoils, much like the wings of an airplane, which helps them efficiently convert wind energyinto rotational motion. Importantly, these blades are not flat but instead include a twist along theirlength, optimizing their performance and ensuring they can adapt to varying wind conditions.One remarkable feature of wind turbines is their ability to adjust the angle of their blades. Thismovement is known as blade pitch, and it’s a critical factor in optimizing energy capture. Bychanging the blade pitch, turbines can respond to changes in wind speed and direction

University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Examining the Computing Identity of High-Achieving Underserved Computing Students on the Basis of Gender, Field, and Year in SchoolABSTRACTAs technology increases in the global arena and the necessity for a more diverse group ofindividuals to fulfill engineering and computing roles increases, it is important to engage morestudents in computing majors and roles. Identity has proven to be an important lens throughwhich researchers can better understand how to engage students in these fields. In particular, ourframing for computing identity includes students’ self-perceptions about recognition, interest,and performance/competence. Using survey

even graduate students in STEM. First, mostengineering graduate students are funded, and most are funded for their research. Further,time to degree completion for engineering doctoral students is low—on average about 5years—since engineering research is typically funded on grants or industry sponsorship thatencourages results and publication. The culture of engineering departments, even thoughcultures vary between departments and institutions, is different than those of other science,technology, and math departments, which often have different structures for research groups,mentorship, and expectations of graduate students. Therefore, we posit that we must studyengineering graduate students separately from students in other disciplines, though

the secondsemester after taking Mechanics. Particularly, as some departments (e.g., Biological andAgricultural Engineering and Engineering Technology) guided the course to be taken in the firstor second semester of sophomore, relatively fewer number of students achieved the coursecredits. While on average, about 72% of FTIC students and about 28% of FTT students achievedcredits on the courses by taking the courses at the institution. In contrast, about 7% of FTICstudents and about 62% of FTT students achieved the transfer credits on the common courses.
