In 2011 women’s employment in STEM was 27% (downfrom 34% in 1990) with women most underrepresented in engineering at 13% (this number roseto 15% by 2013).16,27Compared to white men, women faculty are less likely to work at prestigious universities orresearch universities, and more likely to hold assistant-professor, associate professor, and non-tenure track positions.14,30 In fact, in 2011 only 9% of full professors in engineering werewomen.17 In regards to academic commercialization this is especially

In so doing the amount ofscience and mathematics required was increased. This meant that they began to close theirdoors to those who pursued Chartered Engineer (C.

Further, it provides students the opportunity to work on a project where they can bothaddress both technical requirements and learn how to manage projects.5 Prior

, it is necessary to have 4 1-bit Full Adders.The Cn+1 bit from the previous adder is fed into the Cn input of the next adder. This supplies theproper carry from the previous bit addition. The first carry bit is tied to 0, since in performingaddition there is no previous carry. Performing subtraction between two binary numbers can be accomplished through the useof Full Adders. Since binary numbers can only be added together, it is necessary to invert theincoming Bn bits. By inverting these bits, 1’s Complement addition occurs. However, in orderfor the 1’s Complement addition to work correctly, it is necessary to let Cn = 1. For example
school students participated in a week-long summer camp thatfocused on electrical and computer engineering (ECE) concepts and practices. The five-daysummer camp consisted of hands-on activities, tours of different laboratories in ECE disciplines,and a group project that spanned the whole week where students built circuits using theSparkFun Inventor’s kit. During the group activity, the students were organized into eightgroups, and each group was mentored by an undergraduate mentor who facilitated thecollaborative hands-on activities. The middle school students completed validated and reliablepre and post-surveys adapted from the Student Attitudes Toward STEM (S-STEM) Survey andthe Group Work Skills Questionnaire Manual. The S-STEM survey is

We argue that a student‟s level of non-academicinvolvement is related to the importance she ascribes to professional and interpersonal skills inengineering. Implications for engineering educators and suggestions for further research arediscussed.IntroductionFindings from the recent Academic Pathways Study (APS) sponsored by the Center forAdvancement of Engineering Education (CAEE) have shown that intrinsic psychologicalmotivation to study engineering and confidence in professional and interpersonal skills are keypredictors of engineering seniors‟ future plans1.

- Objectives of the Experiment and the ProjectThe following major objectives were set at the inception of the project:1. To develop an experiment and project for a complete review and a better understanding of thestatistical parameters that may heavily influence the engineering/design decision making process.2. To create an opportunity for collaborative research and design efforts between undergraduateengineering student(s) and faculty.3. To design, produce, test, and optimize a cost-effective, reproducible apparatus withoutstanding features.4. To make all information necessary for fabrication of the apparatus and conducting theexperiment and the project available to engineering programs nationwide

mentoring. Positive mentoringbehaviors can take the form of a psychosocial factor and an instrumental factor [15], [32], [33],[34]. The psychosocial dimension of mentoring centers on the personal connection betweenmentor and mentee, incorporating elements such as encouragement, guidance, and constructivefeedback. The instrumental dimension focuses on professional socialization and skill acquisition,often tailored to a specific discipline or research methodology, and considered to be a taskfocused mentoring [31], [34]. Conversely, negative mentoring occurs when mentors engage inpractices that undermine the mentoring bond [31], [32]. In Robnett et al.'s [31] study, bothstudents and their mentors agreed that their mentoring relationships were marked

A few recommendations to enhance teamwork for project-based learning are: (i)The project report may be submitted in multiple stages based on the progress; (ii) Team-mateevaluation could be implanted to ensure the involvement of the all-group members; (iii)Accountability could be achieved by dividing the work among the members and by providingnecessary materials on project management.AcknowledgmentsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1700640.

In this landscape, creativity, design, and engineering are making their way to the forefront of educational considerations, as tools such as 3D printers, robotics, and 3D modeling web-based applications become accessible to more people.

development was studied using the Tuckman model, first popularized in the 1960's forworkplace teams and later updated [5], [6]. This model consists of four stages: Forming,Storming, Norming and Performing. Tuckman demonstrated that team members tend to act asindividuals during the first two stages, and then realize that, as contributors to a team, morecould be accomplished with the team than individually. This realization leads team memberperformance toward the Norming and Performing stages. A summary of each of the stagesand their key characteristics is given in Table 1 below [1], [5]–[7]. This table was adaptedfrom a prior study using similar methods with introductory engineering transfer student teams:Table 1: Team Development Stages and Key
needed to wait for students to log into the online class before starting the practice.Author 3 noted that being able to move the time of the mediation to better fit in the coursematerial for the day was advantageous. Additionally, Author 3 noticed that different classsections had different preferences. For example, Author 3’s morning class section liked havingthe practice early during class (e.g., at the beginning), while the afternoon class section liked thepractices later in the class session, especially on Friday (e.g., at the end of class). Lastly, it is ofnote that Author 2 thought a five-minute practice might be too long for an online course,especially when done daily, but the same duration worked well for the in-person course,according to
