A chi-square test found a statistically significantdifference between groups of students who had participated for an entire year in the LMP andstudents who had not participated at all. An independent samples t-test found an observable, butnot statistically significant, positive association between LMP participation and GPAs.Emergent themes resulting from a preliminary coding of student interviews pointed to atransition in student behavior and identify as they progressed through the LMP. The researchersconclude by proposing a systemic understanding of mentorship programs as a means to providedynamic supports that relate to students’ dynamic STEM identities.IntroductionA multi-institutional NSF S-STEM Project is in its second

Education, 2021 Remotely Designed and Performed Biomaterials LabBailey, JenniferRochester Institute of Technology“Did they design for it?” is the title for the final project of the sophomore Biomechanics andBiomaterials lab. The learning objectives include designing, executing, and analyzing anappropriate experiment to address a question with specific limitations of time and resources. Theaim is to test a student-chosen, relevant variable on hydrogel-based consumer products. In thespring of 2020, this experience demonstrated that learning objectives of designing and executingappropriate experimentation were able to be performed in a remote setting.The required sophomore-level course is a two-credit, writing intensive lab with one
cooling load. Thisproject demonstrates the technical viability of absorption chillers. The project economics weredominated by the capital cost of the absorption chiller and the solar collector array which, todate, are still very expensive. A conventional vapor compression cycle has lower capital costs thatcan be offset by the lower operating costs of an absorption chiller installation. Advances inabsorption chiller technology and higher electricity prices would make solar absorption chillersmore economically viable.Running chillers and boilers off peak and storing hot or cold water in thermal energy storage canproduce savings if the utility offers discounted off peak electrical rates. This practice also helpsthe utility to run efficiently by
instructional practice andstudent outcomes. The use of developmental evaluation in this frame enables cycles ofiterative question asking and answering in service to student learning. Looking forward,this toolset is being developed with a mind toward programmatic evaluation, on adepartmental level, even as initial efforts are focused on an introductory engineeringdesign course.MethodsContext and ParticipantsThis design course is taken by students during their first or second year and is typicallytheir first exposure to engineering. This course situates teams as engineers contracted towork on a project provided by an external client.

Twogoals of our research include: 1) to increase self-efficacy of undergraduate BME students byproviding project-based learning experiences throughout the curriculum; and 2) to identify ifbiomedical engineering student self-efficacy differences correlate with student ability toeffectively translate fundamental knowledge toward engineering design.Since we bring disciplinary expertise, our choice of mentors parallels the engineering educationresearch topics required to successfully approach our study’s research goals.

interfaces betweenlegacy robotic devices and the environment or the other machinery in work area. Wireless sensorplatforms that can sense the changes in work environment share their sensor observations withthe robot control system by storing the information over the cloud. A replacement for the robotcontrol system that has networking capability can read the sensor’s data from the cloud andcontrols the motion of the robot, accordingly.This in-progress project was implemented in four phases that will be discussed throughout themanuscript. These phases are i) planning for the required sensing and communication, ii) designapproach for data storage and visible cognitive computation, iii) using an industrial hardwareplatform with networking facilities

many papers written on team formation. Some of these papers focuson team formation for senior design [2, 3], while others focus on comparing different teamformation strategies, such as comparing self-selected teams versus instructor-selected teams [2-5]. In Ref. [2], the teams were half self-selected and the other half were assigned by theinstructor using the Jung Typology Test, which is based on Carl Jung and Isabel Myers-Briggs’typological approach to personality. Ref. [3] considered different approaches for assigningteams in a capstone design course. One approach had faculty forming teams based on studentsurveys of project interests, skills, time availability, and team preferences. The alternativemethod enabled students to form their own

, PublicSpeaking for Technical Professionals, or Technical Communication. In addition to standard laband project reports, during the senior year, students are required to take the mechanicalengineering seminar class and write a half-page summary discussing what they gained fromlistening to presenters from industry. Each week a presenter shares his or her professionalexperience with the seminar class and talks about career paths, ethics, continuing education, andthe “dos” and “don’ts” of a professional. The summaries are read for both content and proper useof grammar and sentence structure, and points are deducted for improper use of grammar andmisspelled words. The seminar class is the last opportunity to assess our students’ writtencommunication skills
