The selection criteria for the participants are asfollows: a) Females students from 9th to 12th grades b) Students with grade point average of B or above c) Students who show interests in STEM disciplines d) Students who are traditionally underrepresented e) Students with recommendation for the gOWEST camp from teachers f) Students are required to submit an essay why they should be chosen g) Students undergo personal interview
, long-term understanding of the material by constructing 3-D objects. This method was implemented ina thermodynamics course over two consecutive semesters at University of Illinois at Chicago.Overall, the observations suggest that the proposed method can yield a significant improvementin student learning of the subject.IntroductionThe current mechanical engineering curriculum at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)includes introductory and intermediate thermodynamics courses. In the introductory course,instructors primarily use traditional lecturing method, supplemented by an in-class display of aplastic mold of the p-v-T surface – the first examples of which were constructed by JamesThomson1 in 1871 and James Maxwell2 in 1874. Despite the
Artificial Intelligence Case Studies in a Thermodynamics CourseIntroductionWith the explosion of ChatGPT in the past year, it seems that Artificial Intelligence (AI) iseverywhere, but engineering students may not realize its application beyond writing papers. Theaim of this study was to build an AI teaching module that could be implemented into existingMechanical Engineering Curriculum. Rather than teach students how to build neural networksor large language models, the module focused on how AI is utilized in Nuclear Power Plants.The module was then implemented into a Thermodynamics II course, directly following a uniton vapor power plants. The full course outline can be found in Appendix A, Table A1. Sevencase studies from AI and Nuclear Energy

While the present audience forthis course is composed of working adults, it is highly suitable as an elective in theundergraduate curriculum of any engineering program.1.0 IntroductionEngineers are trained to solve problems and get results. In today’s world of fast paced innovationand change, those results must often be very different from anything that currently exists. Thispaper describes a course that focuses on moving beyond the normal ways of thinking and doing,into the world of different thinking for different results. The course centers on the in

Student teams will work on design activities during that time frame. • Projects should require teams to prepare proposals, final written reports and presentations to wide range of audiences. • Influence of having an actual client on students’ motivation and interest level in engineering will be investigated more in detail. Some students commented that they would prefer to interact with the costumer more often. In the future, customer will be invited to more design classes to provide feedback to students.REFERENCES [1] S. Anwar, T. Batzel, and E.

an array of active learning approaches that pique their interest and spark excitement about the possible outcomes for their students. After initial exposure to new activities, contextual questions naturally arise for educators, and a clear understanding of the essential features for successfully implementing a teaching strategy becomes necessary. Reflection activities represent one approach for active learning that educators reasonably have questions about before adopting the approach. Reflection is a topic that can have various meanings. For this project, reflection was conceptualized with the following definition: looking back on the past experience(s), to interpret and make meaning of those experiences in order to plan for the future [1

We do not require a formalanalysis of experimental uncertainty since this is covered later in our curriculum, however, we dostrongly believe that it is important for students to begin developing an understanding ofexperimental uncertainty and ask them to comment on uncertainty in every lab write-up. Thesources of uncertainty in this lab include the accuracy of the spring scales, the accuracy of thelinear measurements, and the fact that we are ignoring the mass of the spring scales and chain.

development of the course was an internal process. While this isthe most direct path for development, the course would be improved by seeking input from theindustrial advisory board and from alumni on course content. This would ensure that the topicscovered fit the goal of teaching skills that students need to have prior to employment.Now that the course has been developed, more needs to be done to integrate this course withother courses in the curriculum. Currently, many students are not taking this course until theirsenior year. Ideally, they should be taking the course in the junior year, and applying tools fromthis course in other classes.The problems solved in the course are textbook problems focused on specific areas of the coursecontent.

As an integratorof real-life STEM issues, engineering can also improve adolescents’ cognitive and problem-solving abilities (Burley et al., 2016; Bryan & Guzey, 2020), foster 21st-century skills (Bybee,2018), and facilitate positive STEM experiences that support their pursuit of future STEMcareers (McDonald, 2016; Yeter et al., 2016). More recent international studies (e.g., Van denBogaard et al., 2021) suggest that attributes like students’ STEM attitudes, interest, and exposureto STEM curriculum prior to entering higher education are important indicators (Savelsbergh etal., 2016). Given the importance of engineering to Singapore’s economy, the inclusion ofengineering in Singapore’s national educational system
. Semantic “dissonance”, in the forms of synonymy and polysemy, is frequentlyencountered between participants in related meetings and discussions.Unfortunately the topic of semantic miscommunication is usually not broached until it causes aproject meltdown. This laissez-faire approach can be compared to an information securitymanager ignoring potential virus threats until a machine is already infected.Taking a more practical stance towards the problem, we developed the Termediator software topre-emptively identify potential term dissonance. Termediator has evolved since 2010 from asimple term browser to a multifaceted tool; in its current state it integrates similarity measures insynonymy with topic modeling and clustering in polysemy.The

interconnected technical andorganizational processes. This complexity often makes it difficult to assign causal responsibilityto actions of specific individuals when ethical, technical, or legal failures arise [8], [9]. While wemaintain that individual actors in organizations have agency and thus may be deemedresponsible for their actions, the chain of decision-making within an organization suggests thatmultiple individuals within that organization ultimately share responsibility [8], [10].In addition, engineers cannot predict all possible uses and associated consequences oftechnologies when integrated in the real-world. It may be particularly challenging to assignblame and hold individual engineers responsible when users utilize their technologies

The goals of the project are to give students more control of the learningprocess; to better educate students in vibrations and experimental mechanics; to encourage life-long self-learning and an appreciation for experimentation; and to create a stronger and moredirect link between industrial partners and the classroom.

In particular, the level of abstraction will be significantly less than typically found in Calculus I.This approach stands in contrast to traditional calculus which is more abstract, more devoted to aformally rigorous foundation based on limits and continuity, and lightly dusted with applications.Thematically the revised Calculus I class is focused on three outcomes: - Develop geometric and physical intuition for derivatives and integrals
