Integrated Project Teams have beeninvestigated [1]. It was observed that teams with even gender breakdown performed better thanthe teams with a single female member. We have been looking into team performance in ourcourses ever since some core courses in the curriculum were paired up with problem laboratories.Problem laboratories presented us a challenge because students had to communicate and workwith one another in the absence of instruments or computers. Initially, we used the grades to formthe groups making sure that every group contained an A student while observing a uniformdistribution of women and minorities in the groups. At the end of the semester, course evaluationforms which contained additional questions to check the group performance

Despite recognition for the need to embrace "new media" courses thatdirectly address creativity and effective communication using such tools are not plentiful withinthe engineering curriculum. There are many competing interests that influence curriculum designthat will equip the next generation of engineers to be technically competent, competitive in theglobal economy, and effective as responsible citizens.

In addition the more experience a teacherhas with STOMP seems to impact the engineering subject matter knowledge and engineeringdesign pedagogical content knowledge they applied in their interviews and classrooms.IntroductionConcern over performance and participation in STEM (science, technology, engineering, andmathematics) fields in the United States has lead to greater integration and adoption ofengineering in K-12 curricula.

However, while the workshops did generatesignificant teacher interest in engineering, the students who devoted one week each summer todevelop, run and assist with the workshops were largely required to pay their own way. After theinitial enthusiasm of performing such an outreach wore off, it was determined that this model isfinancially unsustainable. Given the great desire on the part of the Dominican teachers to haveaccess to continuing education, it was determined that methods of bringing content to theteachers through online modules would be investigated, as it has a great potential to make a largeimpact without incurring considerable expenditures.Distance Education--Assessing the Scale and GoalsArger recites the promise of

It is used toaddress the challenges associated with modeling, analysis, design, implementation, testing andoptimization of multi-domain motion control systems2,3,4. The approach is generallyimplemented using an integrated software environment that is interfaced with the external worldthrough data-acquisition systems. In this project, Matlab and Simulink are used for modeling andsimulation of multi-domain systems, including electrical, mechanical, and many others, as wellas for signal processing, parameter estimation, control design, optimization, and real-timeembedded programming.

Due to the growing demand for ‘quantum-aware’ specialists, there is aneed for introductory-level QIST courses. In this paper, we describe a pair of introductorycourses in quantum computing for undergraduate students studying electrical engineering,physics, and computer science. By requiring a modest set of prerequisites, the courses will beaccessible to a broader range of STEM students. Our approach features an interdisciplinarylearning environment, which prepares students for modern work environments where engineersand scientists routinely work with other

Shape functions were introduced with the spring and truss elements, but the linear variation of displacements made them trivial in these cases. For the beam, the shape functions were important for integrating strain energy through the element and for predicting displacement, slope, moment and shear between the nodes. • Boundary conditions of slope, in addition to translational displacement, were incorporated.The simple beam illustrated in Figure 15 was used as an example problem. A staticallyindeterminate beam was chosen for the example, again to illustrate the point that the deflection-based solution works for statically determinate and
