The intent ofthe survey was to gather the student’s opinions on the value of the course(s) to them and theorganization, both short and long-term; whether they believed the course(s) helped improve theircommunication and leadership skills and professionalism; whether their problem solving skillsimproved; and whether the course improved their ability to generate creative ideas and solutions.The survey was sent to a sampling of former students – those that completed the CertificateProgram and those that did not – as well as some HQUSACE employees that did not take any ofthe offered courses. Non-students were included in the survey to better understand theirreluctance to take any of the offered courses.The survey was emailed to

training of new Ph.D.’s is toonarrow intellectually, too campus-centered, and too long” [3].Educational reform at the national level occurred with the advent of the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) university-led Engineering Research Centers (ERCs). ERCs and similar typesof programs typically offer different engineering Ph.D. student research experiences thantraditional basic research experiences, requiring more applied research projects, greaterinteraction with industry and government sponsors, and different student skill sets [10, 11]. Oneof the original goals of ERCs was “to improve engineering research so that U.S. engineers willbe better prepared to contribute to engineering practice” [6]. To accomplish this goal, ERCsincorporated a focus on
demographic characteristics and college experiences across varying levels of parental educational attainment and family income level.A set of mutually exclusive groups was created based on respondents’ answers to questions aboutparental educational attainment. • No College – students for whom parent(s) did not finish high school or graduated high school, but did not attend college or complete any degrees. • Less than Associate’s Degree – students for whom at least one parent attended college, but did not complete a degree. • Less than Bachelor’s Degree – students for whom at least one parent completed an Associate’s degree, but did not complete a Bachelor’s degree. • Bachelor’s or Higher – students for whom at

Consider two orthonormalcoordinate bases, S and S , which differ by an arbitrary proper, rigid rotation, as shown inFigure 1(a). If a is the value of a certain scalar (such as your pen’s mass) in S, and a is the valueof the same scalar in S , then a = a.

Century skills survey. The engineering design portfolio assessment(EDPA) includes an electronic log to document students’ progress through the stages of theengineering design process. The survey is designed to measure critical thinking, leadership,communication, and collaboration, and teamwork.Background: The Maker Movement and High School Technology EducationThe ‘maker movement’ is defined by Adweek as the umbrella term for independent inventors,designers, and tinkerers 4, and is viewed by Time magazine as a driver for innovation 5. Thismovement, which started in the 1990’s, embodies a reversion from the theoretical to thepractical, using one’s hands to physically make and build things for the purpose of solving newproblems, solving old problems

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

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

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. Proponents of makerspaces for education highlight the benefit of engaging learners in creative, higher-order problem solving through hands-on design, construction, and iteration.
