students making up theaudience appreciate this change as well. However, regardless of any increase in personalenjoyment it is important that assigning the AE format in an effort to liven up presentationsessions does not negatively impact students’ improvement in their presentation skills; therealistic possibility of a failed teaching experiment is a concern held by the author anytime whenintroducing new pedagogical method(s) to a course.This work describes the incorporation of oral presentation assignments using the AE model intodifferent sections of a senior ChE Unit Operation laboratory course. The objectives of this workare to: 1) determine if student presentation skills development is altered by assigning the AEmodel – in particular, if
paper is on engineering economy courses rather than the smallernumber of current texts, we have chosen not to develop a table with details of today’s texts. Wewill note however that White, Case, and Pratt (2012)’s third chapter is on borrowing, lending,and investing. The personal finance material in the 12th edition of Newnan’s text is similar to the1st edition. The only significant content additions were brief sections on student loans andretirement accounts. However, the 13th edition by Newnan, Eschenbach, Lavelle, and Lewis(2017) has been heavily influenced by our work on this topic. Other current texts are similar tomost texts in Table 1—personal finance focuses on the time value of money for saving, loanpayments, and retirement
part of the Florida Department of Education, Florida has created as Statewide CourseNumbering System (SCNS). This system articulates a common courses numbering system to beused by the colleges and universities in the state. The SCNS specifies the level at which thecourse is taught and the topics covered in each course with the same number. Courses with thesame number are guaranteed to transfer to institutions offering a course with the same coursenumber. According to their website, the SCNS was created in the 1960’s and “is a keycomponent of Florida's K-20 seamless system of articulation. The system provides a database ofpost-secondary courses at public vocational-technical centers, community colleges, universities,and participating nonpublic

BackgroundGaming has become one of the most popular pastimes in world. In 2016, the EntertainmentSoftware Association surveyed over 4,000 U.S. households and found that 63% of householdshave at least one person who plays video games for at least 3 hours a week [5]. This amount is anincrease from the same study done in 2015 which found 42% of households had a gamer [7].Furthermore, Granic found that 97% of American children and adolescents play games for atleast one hour per day in the United States [9]. Since the first video games were released in the1950’s [10], games have improved on the visuals, storyline, and

The cure for the problem is for the repair technicianto replace the sensor or use the code or codes to troubleshoot the problem and narrow the causeof the problem down to a specific part or system and to replace that part or system (i.e. swap outthe bad part(s)). Unfortunately, if the problem is intermittent or possibly caused by a faultywiring harness or by an evolving mechanical defect, solving the mystery of what is causing theproblem can become extremely vexing.

measureable benefits. These benefits include increased confidence andinterest in science and engineering pursuits. Students also acquire a meaningful understanding ofthe engineering design process, and particularly its iterative nature. The communitycontextualization has been observed to provide further benefits by making the relevance ofSTEM a central feature of the student engagement. Further study is needed to determine if thisalso facilitates communication between students, families, and community members, positioningthese students as STEM ambassadors able to relate the value of engineering to their community.References1Kosovich,J.

Good operationaldefinitions are needed to ensure consistent measurement and evaluation over time. Whileincluded in the Engineering Student Outcomes, ABET does not define multidisciplinary teams(d), contemporary issues (h), life-long learning (i), or modern engineering tools (k). Since ABETdoes not define these terms, it is up to the program to define them in the context of their uniquePEOs and identify indicator(s) appropriately for consistent decision-making (otherwise risk TypeI or Type II errors). Care should also be taken not to combine assessment data from differentlevels of maturation of student knowledge, skills and abilities. “Scores” for

The study also concluded thatgirls, although not limited in their ability, need positive mentor or instructor support to overcomeingrained stereotypes (Stoeger et al., 2013). The gender gap in this study may have been closeddue to the STEM focused school culture, various kinds of activities at school in addition to theSTEM extracurricular clubs.Table 3: The impact of gender on STEM perception based on STEM club enrollment p<0.05 Gender Sig.

The YSP is a 6-week summer program that offersfuture scientists and engineers a unique opportunity for a hands-on research experience whilestill in high school. The program is open to local applicants who have completed their junior yearof high school (i.e. rising seniors). Over the summer of 2016, two rising seniors were assignedto work under the guidance of the PI(s) on a research project related to water reuse.

The evaluator askedparticipants to share their opinions on the conference sessions by indicating the name of aspecific session or sessions(s) in which they gained important new knowledge, insight, orunderstanding of research and/or practice in broadening participation in engineering (Woodruff &Li, 2017). As Figure 5 indicates, the largest percentage of participants felt that the culminatingsessions, Data Analysis and Concept Mapping, contributed to their new knowledge.
