) research. One promising approach toincrease diversity of undergraduates in STEM disciplines focuses on communicating culturallyvalued outcomes of the research being conducted (Estrada et al., 2016). We aim to develop abetter understanding of how to support communication of the broader impacts and societalbenefits of research conducted within an National Science Foundation (NSF) funded engineeringresearch project. The main impact of this work is intended to be an increase in representationaldiversity in STEM through imparting the meaningfulness of research to URM students.

Consequently, students must: o write formal documentation on engineering projects, and o give oral presentations to professionals. • Understand engineering solutions in a broader societal context.

in the paper. The rationale for the tiger team was the observation overmany years of a capstone class that as projects are functionally decomposed and subsystemsassigned to individual students, a not insignificant fraction of students become “stuck” at somepoint in time – the concept of “stuckness” is further derived in the full paper. The result is that ifdelays accumulate on critical parts of the project, teams often struggle to get the project back ontrack and end up with a cascading series of missed deadlines. The rationale for the tiger team isto help teams identify when parts of the project are getting behind schedule and to haveadditional, short-term help available.In the initial implementation described here, the tiger team was two

IntroductionIn construction planning, a project is broken into identifiable work packages to build alogical network among these packages. The process of building the logical networkrequires reading drawings, visualizing structures in mind, finding relationship betweenactivities, and estimating the duration required to complete each activity. Therepresentation of the logical network has long been made by a CPM network or a bar chart.However, students often find it difficult to intuit construction schedule by reading two-dimension (2D

This process includes an entire steel buildingdesign, from building code research through preliminary and final design of a steel structure toproduction of construction documents for the project.Historically this course has centered around a steel building design project in which studentteams where responsible for the design and documentation of the steel structure. Based on thatcourse model, problems became apparent in subsequent structural design courses and in thecomprehensive design studio. These problems included the fact that a large percentage of thestudents were not aware of the structural design process necessary to complete a buildingdesign. A

This survey was also used tosolicit comments on certification on a broad-spectrum.

Harvesting Control PanelAbstractReducing high energy consumption and costs is imperative and significant to our daily life. Inthis paper, we describe a capstone senior design project that develops an efficient energy-savingsolution. The solution is called the GreenLite system and consists of two components: a self-adjustable solar tracker panel and a light harvesting control panel.The solar tracker panel tends to maximize the absorption of solar power. Specifically, the solartracker panel can adjust itself automatically to the direction where the panel is directly facing theSun. To achieve this, the component employs photo-sensors to measure the irradiance of the Sunand to provide the feedback signal on the current position of the panel. The

Ladder logic programs are designed and downloadedthrough the Internet to their PLC. The projects include digital logic, timers, counters, integermath, real math, PID control, and table look-ups. PLC modules used include digital I/O, analogI/O, high-speed counter, thermocouple, remote I/O, and PID control of a DC motor/tachometerarrangement. Their final weeklong project
