The two teachers did not know each other prior tothe program and were randomly assigned to work as a team together.Michael had started his teaching career as a mathematics teacher. Through Math for America hetook a course in Arduinos that sparked his interest in robotics and later he started to teach andcoach robotics clubs in his school. In his current school, the school administration was seeking todevelop and implement a new curriculum for robotics and Michael had been assigned to developthe curriculum. For him, attending this robotics workshop was an opportunity to learn more aboutrobotics and to get advice about the curriculum that he was

solve problems, using the technicalknowledge developed in their professional career, it has been considered that these skills make iteasier for them to reach results that involve the solution of mathematical problems, or those relatedto science, through the use of technical skills, research or analysis and synthesis. In this sense, theacademia seems to have placed the emphasis on hard and technical skills, while, non-technical ones,have been left in a secondary stage in the case of engineers, ignoring their role on their professionaldevelopment. This project proposes a model that will bring together more than 180 engineeringstudents and 4 university professors, by involving them in a real challenge that they might solve bymeans of their

One statistical model showed that, even given exponential growth in the pool of Ph.D.graduates from URM groups, the composition of faculty would remain stagnant even through theyear 2080 [16]! Those truly invested in repairing the ‘leaky pipeline’ should question solutionswhich deflect the burden of underrepresentation onto persons from underrepresented groupsthemselves. We must instead shift attention to understanding why institutions are failing toattract and retain talent that already exists. In other words, we must question why URM Ph.D.graduates are pursuing careers outside of academia, in some cases leaving the professoriate to doso [18]. Are

session and photographs. This could be easilychanged for next year’s conference by adding full sessions that are more interactive and focusedon connecting students in a professional conference, thus allowing students who wanted moretime to add that to their schedules. Students clearly highly value and want to engage with thecommunity. This indicated that students might want more networking not only out of a desire toadvance their own careers, but also to help each other. By adding more time for it, it would alsohopefully help students feel like others rely on them, which on a higher level ties them morestrongly to community. Also, we note that although the main portion of the conference washighly structured and there were several evening

8 ISSUE 2ADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATIONA Visual Approach to Teaching Properties of Waterin Engineering Thermodynamicsgases behave. However, when switching the fluid to water, the property values are emphasizedover the relationships due to the complex relationships hidden behind the steam tables. Therelationships between the various properties is not obvious with the presence of phase change(e.g. boiling) occurring within typical engineering conditions. As a result, students often fail todevelop an intuitive understanding of water property relations. Later in engineering careers,the intuitive deficiency can manifest itself through an over reliance on the computer generatedmodels. Therefore, there is a need to emphasize property relations
logic before introducingstudents to the ‘higher-level’ topics of microprocessors and the Internet Of Things (IOT). Analternative and potentially more motivating approach is to reverse this sequence. This paperdescribes the design of a new hardware kit and sequence of laboratory exercises which aim togive students hands-on experience with Embedded systems and IOT at an early stage in theiracademic careers. The kit is based on a low-cost, wireless-networked, 32-bit ARMmicrocontroller with integrated Cloud support. The sequence of lab exercises which buildincrementally on one another is described in detail, and the experience gained running them forthe first time is reported.

As at other universities, if an engineering student (or any STEM student)is not prepared to start in Calculus their first semester, he/she must begin in the appropriate lowermathematics course according to their ACT or SAT math score. Even though a more formalmathematics placement mechanism would be preferable, Methodist University does not have theresources to implement a placement mechanism at this time. Thus, ACT or SAT math scoreshave been used. Furthermore, as a small, private
