To address these shortcomings, a low-cost solar water heaterdesign project was developed and integrated concurrently between a mechanical engineeringheat transfer course and a thermal systems laboratory course. The low-cost constraint reinforcedphysical understanding of heat transfer concepts and ensured messy, non-ideal designs to whichtheoretical modeling could not be neatly applied. A heat transfer concept inventory to assessstudent learning showed minimal gains in student understanding while a self-report attitudesurvey administered to the students demonstrated that they

The primary elements of this curriculum development activityare supporting faculty development and interest, developing infrastructure and facilities, andcollaborating with industry in order to integrate elements of intelligent, embedded computingsystems across the curriculum. This involves striking a balance between fundamental concepts,algorithm development, hardware, and applications; and this is accomplished by threading theseconcepts throughout the curriculum.

The presented approach is an initial effort targeted at increasing theengineering knowledge of prospective K-6 teachers. This step involves developing a course titledEngineering Literacy, taken by those undergraduates who typically plan to enter the credentialprogram for elementary teaching (i.e., Liberal Studies majors). Engineering Literacy is a three-unit combined laboratory and lecture course. Hands-on activities are coupled with lectures onengineering topics. Expected outcomes of Engineering Literacy are aligned with the generalbody-of-knowledge in both engineering and liberal studies

the analysis of the applicationsusing them. This approach is used in many different areas of electrical engineering and withsuccess in engineering science programs. However, many of the engineering technologyprograms would not be able to implement this approach easily due to the limitations on extracourse credits available, and the time needed to complete prerequisite courses in math andphysics as well as the higher levels of math and physics required compared to engineeringscience programs. Another obstacle to a practical teaching approach is a lack of properlyequipped laboratories because of the prohibitively higher prices of the equipment used in RFengineering compared to other areas in electrical engineering [2].Curriculum Design

However, the technique is absent inthe mechanical engineering Capstone literature; presumably because it is not used elsewhere tosupport ME senior design. Some casting examples do exist in ME manufacturing laboratoryclasses [ii,iii], but predominantly simulation is used in leu of the physical casting process to aidstudent learning and understanding of underlying phenomena.

As a result, researchers have attempted to profile female students thatchoose these majors and to explain why others do not. Several studies suggest that maledomination of classrooms and laboratories and the lack of female role models contributeto the disparity. At Texas Woman’s University, a majority of faculty members arefemale, as are over 90% of students.

forms of interdependence. These views of how expertise operates in team5settings treat expertise as something that is both easily identifiable within individuals and roles,and something that can be applied discretely to a particular task or problem. Indeed, over timedisciplines, professions and roles become affiliated with particular forms of expertise and assertjurisdiction over particular tasks and work roles (Abbott, 1988). However, these frameworks regarding the utilization of expertise in group settings relyupon assumptions about the practice of expert work that may not match how individuals operatein STEM laboratory settings. These perspectives start from a common fundamental assumptionthat experts know and/or have the tacit
