andskills” scale will be further explored by looking at how scale scores and subscale scorescorrelate with i) students’ confidence (or lack of confidence) in engineering related skills andother unrelated skill areas, ii) other measures of students attitudes and abilities, iii) theirexposure to people in the engineering field and other measures identified as relevant.Bibliography1.

In this study, we bring attention to the literature that has quantitively assessed a student’srecognition through two primary questions. These studies have made significant contributions tothe field but have focused mainly on the aspect of being seen (recognized) as an engineer and havemeasured this concept through a student’s self-reflection and through their recognition of howmuch the people in their lives see them as an engineer: • “Parents/Relatives/friends see you as a physics person” and “Science teacher see[s] you as a physics person.” (Hazari et al., 2010
? 4.6 5 0.5How often does your facilitator interactwith your group(s)? 4.5 5 0.7ConclusionsThis paper emphasizes the value of mid-semester peer and staff observations and student mid-termevaluations (which align with the program objectives and the observation rubric). When reflection andthe articulation of future actions follow feedback from peers and enrolled students, undergraduateeducators gain an enhanced understanding of their strengths and challenges and greater ownership andmotivation to improve their educational practices. In summary, we show that feedback, reflection, andgoal setting can guide undergraduate leaders to inclusive, student-centered practices

conservation as well asdevelopment of renewable energy resources must be vigorously pursued in order to find asolution to this dilemma. The entire public must be vested towards making a transition from afossil fuel based society to one that utilizes a far greater amount of renewable energy resources.According to Elder (2009) “Higher education has a critical role to play in this transition, much asit did during the space race of the 1960s. Our colleges can - and must - help students understandthe complex connections and interdependencies among our environment, energy sources, andeconomy - all of which underpin the green movement.”[1]The present situation is very similar to the 1960’s when the entire country was unified towardsplacing a man on the moon

sought. Robotic applications seemed a logical choice in programming, andhave become a popular educational vehicle in recent years. So a low cost robotic applicationwas sought for a pilot course taught in the summer of 2012.Robots have been used in education for some time. Penn State began using robots of its owndesign in its freshman program in the mid-1990’s. Typical sub-group size was kept about threestudents with good success.7 Northeastern University also uses project base learning, andincorporates semi-custom kits to teach programming and electronics. The hands-on approachwas met with a high degree of student approbation.4Louisiana State University uses project based freshman courses that include programmablecontrollers and small robots.2

projects were mostly as expected. The gel electrophoresiscomponent of the first project successfully separated large molecules from small molecules andconfirmed the sizes of the dyes (350-750 g/mol). They found the membrane was able to separatethe dye from the watercolor pigment, but not completely and only the permeate was a pure color.The flux was similar when pore size of the membrane was increased from 50 kDa to 100 kDa, withvalues of 1.23 mL/s to 1.26 mL/s. The second project was able to successfully demonstrate thefunction of the anion-exchange membrane adsorber by successfully isolating thiocyanate from apotassium counterion. The thiocyanate ion acts as an indicator by forming a deep red complexwith iron when added to an iron chloride

to the present day requirement and accessingthe limited space available in house. Quantification of rehabilitation program based on gait dataof patient in real time will certainly increase the efficacy and suggest new methods for patients toreach the near natural gait. Wireless sensor modules were developed which can be attached to thePHAS or the patient. The modules are portable and have onboard power. These modules can alsobe used to record the range of joint motion of any human body segment with little modification.The gait data was reported on a normal healthy person acts as a reference database.References: 1.

After developing the lessons, participating teachers enacted thelessons with their elementary students. Participants included 43 4th and 5th grade students dividedinto two groups, those who attended school on a Native American reservation (n=23) and thosewho attended a small town school not located on a reservation (n=20). To measure the impacts ofthe program, students completed the Students Attitudes towards STEM survey ([S-STEM],Friday Institute, 2012) and the Engineering Identity Develop Scale ([EIDS], Capobianco et al.,2017) before and after engaging in the community

to visualize 2x2 and 3x3 matrices by Christian Otto Mohr in thelate 1800’s, Mohr’s circle has since become a foundational, visual tool for mechanics studentsworking to understand the stresses at play at derived points in materials [1]. Undergraduateengineering students are commonly introduced to Mohr’s circle in their Mechanics of Materialsclass as an analytical tool included in the lessons on stress transformations. The basic idea behindMohr’s circle is that normal and shear stresses on a plane within a material depend on theorientation of that plane [2]. Through graphical representation, Mohr’s circle simplifies theprocess of reorienting a given planar section of material to obtain the normal and shear stresses atthe new orientation. It
