included the items twice to askabout their perceptions of being an “engineering person” and a “science person.” Each constructcomprises three or more items where students are asked to rate their agreement with eachstatement on a five-point scale of Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree.Commitment to Major: To measure students’ commitment to their major field of study, weadapted an existing measure of intent to persist in college for this measure [15]. Short of beingable to directly observe commitment to their major, this item helps assess how likely a student isto change their major. The theory of planned behavior then asserts that actions are typicallypreceded by intentions to act [16], meaning an intent to change majors is a likely indicator of
. Thedimensions for the A370 specimen can be seen in Figure 4. Students were trained to use the 3Dprinter, the vertical test stand, and the Charpy impact tester. A few test prints were completed tomake sure the printers were running correctly. Then an Excel file was created to plan out theprints for the tensile specimens. Part of the excel file can be seen on Table 1. Each specimen hasa different orientation, material, shell, and face. These were the independent variables chosen forthe test specimens. As these variables change, the test results will also change, and a conclusionfrom that data can be made. Figure 3 ASTM D638 type IV tensile testing specimen. Figure 4 ASTM A370 Charpy Impact Test

Oncethe YIRE was announced, we were able to recruit 11 people to engage with the Pillar. We hadmonthly meetings during the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 semester, brainstormed severalinitiatives, and have had discussions on how to engage the ASEE community with importantsocializers in P-12 education (e.g., teachers, parents and guardians).One of our strengths is having members in the Pillar who are very active in the American Societyfor Engineering Education (ASEE) Pre-College Engineering Education (PCEE) Division and theASEE Commission on P-12

future, it is planned to have the students submit intermediate reports whichdemonstrate their preliminary ideas and early progress toward completion of the project. Thiswill allow for more opportunities to interject and give feedback to steer them towards moreappropriate projects and experimental procedures. It is also planned to develop a more detailedassignment sheet with more specific information on what is required, with a breakdown of howthe project grades will be determined. Coordination with the College of Education is alsoplanned to see if they might provide some incentive for some of their students to collaborate withengineering students on these projects.

This way,when a student misses a class or needs to review something that he or she didn’t fullyunderstand, they can watch the back-up video(s).2) The author is considering having students do the video tutorials as homework prior to classand then doing the independent portions of the homework in the classroom. The benefits of thisflipped classroom approach would be to have more interaction time with students during theirportion of the homework that is less structured and

to develop an approach at Northeastern University that would allow students to design acontrol system and evaluate its performance, a component of the students’ Capstone design projectin their Capstone course was originally required to contain a process control system. Studentswere taking both Capstone and Process Control in their final semester of their senior year, so theconcepts lined up well for students to be able to apply their understanding from one course toanother. This plan became complicated by several factors, both structural and conceptual. First,an increase in enrollment, including a number of students with advanced credit, drove a need forProcess Control to be taught in all semesters for students in both their junior and
online was to give students theopportunity to build and test something; to have the experience of trying something, seeing how it goes,and then trying again. To make this happen, we decided to operate the projects in two phases: in phase 1students were to individually ideate, build, and test a low fidelity prototype; beginning phase 2, teamswere asked to collaboratively analyze the phase 1 outcomes and select a design for refined modeling (bothphysical and computer-aided) and additional testing. Typical major deliverables of the project included ateam contract, an individual design, a phase 1 summary memo, a phase 2 design proposal, a testing andvalidation plan, and a final project report and presentation. Instructors had the latitude to adjust
experiences to teach theirstudents through distance learning. One of the participating teachers highlighted the importance ofmodeling: I remember during the online [workshop] that we had this past summer, I remember that they showed us how to do engineering activities through, through distance learning. So they were modeling - so this is something that you can do, this information can be relevant.

All demographic data was self-reported and collected anonymouslywithout any identifiers.FindingsA mixed method of qualitative and quantitative metrics was utilized to gather survey data. Todetermine STEM preparedness, the students were asked “Which math and science courses haveyou taken, including those you plan to take before high school graduation?” (Figures 1A and1B). A total of 66 women and 42 men participated in the survey (1 student did not disclose theirgender).The P-value for each of the math classes (Figure 1A) is a range of .263 to .981. Consequently,the P-value shows that there is no difference between the math classes taken by men and women.The P-value range of .454 to .748 for science classes (Figure 1B) indicates

succeeded in developing and testing an interactive virtual environment to aid instudent understanding of aircraft coordinate systems and their angular relationships. The resultsof this paper show that the use of VR as a teaching aid can have positive effects on studentunderstanding of aircraft coordinate systems and should be investigated further. The VR environment investigated in this paper only used the Earth-body Euler anglesand aerodynamic angles. It did not include the transformation from the wind-centered frame tothe body-frame. Apart from addressing general comments left by participants, the plan for thefuture of this VR environment is to include the remaining coordinate system, introduce thevisualization of translational motion

Also assume elastic materialbehavior.In response to the assigned projects, students self-assembled into nominal groups of four(without intervention from the instructor to influence the composition of groups). A total of 7groups were thus formed. Before putting together their projects, student groups met with theinstructor at least once to discuss their project plans. They were alerted to small details that theymay have not been thinking about, or they were at least challenged to think about anyassumptions that they were planning to make and verify such assumptions if possible. Thishelped the students avoid pitfalls in their work down the road and hence reduced harm to theireventual project

. This data comprised of two primary categories, non-Acromegaly patients (this set willcomprise the images of Acromegaly patients before they have the disease) and Acromegalypatients (the patients after they have been diagnosed with the disease). I then trained a CNNmodel on this data (Kong et al. [6], Kong et al. [7]). After developing my model, I plan to pushthe model to a cloud server. I will then build a mobile application, designed in React Native andJava, which will allow researchers to be able to upload images of test patients, and the modelwill then be trained on those images and give a decision that will help researchers determine thelikelihood of Acromegaly in a patient. Because Acromegaly is a slowly occurring disease, theresearchers
