process, the ISE-2 project team will compare student reports of engagement and classroom climate in classrooms taught by ISE-2 faculty versus comparison classes. A survey for junior students was also administered in Spring 2017 and will be administered in the Spring semesters of subsequent years. This survey broadly examines student engagement and classroom climate in the College of Engineering. The goal is to determine if there are changes in juniors’ experiences pre-/post-implementation of ISE-2. Student engagement in the classroom is measured by the Student Experience in the Research University Survey (SERU-S)2. Classroom climate is measured by the Critical Incidents Questionnaire (CIQ)3, items from the Diversity
Recruitment, Mentoring and Retention through the Aerospace and Industrial Engineering (ASPIRE) Scholarship Program1. IntroductionThe overarching goal of the Aerospace and Industrial Engineering (ASPIRE) Scholarshipprogram is to improve recruitment and retention of aerospace engineering (AE) and industrial(IE) engineering students. With support from the NSF S-STEM program, the ASPIRE programprovides scholarships to academically talented, full-time AE and IE students with demonstratedfinancial need. The ASPIRE program enhances the educational experience of ASPIRE studentsthrough mentoring and networking events. The objectives of the ASPIRE program are to: • Prepare students for the workforce. • Provide educational
engagement of industry mentors with the students has increased the number ofinternships with the region. The interaction of students in competitions motivates the students totake on more challenging projects in STEM areas than they would engage in with traditionalcourses. Finally, having students carry out lessons and activities builds self-confidence andspeaking skills.References1.

This allowsAlgae City to have a greater audience and get a wider variety of people interested in algae andengineering. Future work involves testing this game with subject groups of various ages rangingfrom 5th to 8th grade, gathering feedback, and then making any necessary changes to the gamebased off that feedback. In the end, Algae City aims to challenge, excite, and educate the playerwith the overarching goal of promoting STEM education.References[1]. T. S.

a 5-point rubric yielding total scores between 0 and 16for each. Cohen’s d (effect size) was calculated ([3]: (µ1-µ2)/s), and average post-quiz scoreswere compared by paired t-test or repeated-measures ANOVA. Students’ self-recorded videoswere coded for the quality of their interactions as described by [1]. Two factors were varied: (1) the scaffolding (instructions) given to the students and (2)whether students watched a dialogue video or monologue video. Statistical analyses of thenumber of interactive episodes for each group are performed (by coding interactions observed inthe students’ self-recorded videos) to test the hypothesis that students watching dialogue videoshave more interactive episodes and higher learning gains than

More recent studies indicate that persons with disabilities may move through aprocess of seven types of identities: isolated affirmation, apathy, resignation, situationalidentification, affirmation, crusadership, and normalization [2]. Studies also indicate that the arts,including the visual arts, can be a tool to aid transition through these identities to enhance

“maybe” want to be engineers, 22% answered "No," while 29%answered "Yes” to the same question. It should be noted that 2016 was the first year an attemptwas made to collect feedback from the participating students. In the 2016’s survey, the question“do you want to be an engineer?” had only two possible answers, “yes or no." We have receivedseveral suggestions to add a third choice of "maybe/I do not know” to the answers. The attendeeswere hesitant to give an explicit answer of "Yes" or "No” to this question. Almost half of thestudents (47%) expressed interest in Engineering compared to 29% in 2017. While this resultdoes not conclude that the students’ interest declined in 2017, it certainly implies that studentspreferred to answer “No” than “Yes

Nelson wasquoted saying that the central problem in management and in leadership is failure to understandinformation in variation.This paper presents an educational tool that demonstrate the effects of process tampering onvariation. It shows that reacting to common causes of variation as if they were special causesonly leads to increase in variation and the likelihood of producing unacceptable output. To do so,an experiment was conducted by students (volunteers) in three stages. The first is the “control”stage, where the process operated as is. In the second stage, students were asked to make neededadjustments to achieve established target. The third

Another approach that holds great potential to enhancelaboratory experience for online education is the use of computer-based modeling and simulation(M&S) tools. Simulation based virtual laboratories emulate lab equipment and configurations inhighly realistic 3D environments and can deliver highly effective learning experiences.Computer-based modeling and simulation has been effectively used to model and simulate awide range of problems in a variety of fields, with particular success in science and engineering.For example, medical students and practitioners can safely perform surgeries on virtual patientsin a simulated environment to enhance their
