the concepts and ability to perform the necessary manual calculations, computerprograms can be used to allow the students to study more advanced topics in the materialwithout being bogged down in the calculations. To ease the considerable calculationsinvolved in solving vapor-compression refrigeration (VCR) cycle problems in the course,a text-based computer program was written, complete with property evaluation for 3three substances, by L.J. Genik and C.W. Somerton at Michigan State University. Thisprogram has recently been revised to be compatible with the Microsoft Windowsoperating environment prevalent today in engineering software. In addition, a fourthrefrigerant, R-134a, was added to account for the addition of new refrigerants in
orperiodic table phase);(4) isolation and test of phenomena, with implied reproducibility by independent observers;(5) quantification (classical physics phase).Even the first of these is commonly acknowledged as "science" when applied to a traditional areaof study (e.g. biology). Many areas of science cannot reach the final "quantification" stage inwhich mathematical relationships are formulated. Engineering design, the process of designing,is obviously such an area, but this observation must be qualified by the connections to otherknowledge. Designing as an area of scientific investigation, codification of knowledge andtheorizing can, in parts, not even reach stage 4, because the human element is not strictlyreproducible – humans are idiosyncratic
to visit the facilities in our area that are sponsoring the DeSIRE program so they can see what's available in the area. For example, it's hard to encourage someone to be involved in Cummings, building diesel engines all day long, when in their mind [students] they see themselves with a wrench and a bolt and tightening down the wrench and greasy. When we actually get to go there, it will be full of technology, full of robotics. It will be a very clean job, people interacting with each other. There are all kinds of occupations available in that one system. I have a number of students whose parents work at Pfizer. They have no idea what their parents do, what technology is available in there. So

But one thing to keep in mind is that your server must be connected,whether directly or indirectly through another computer, to your experimental setup.We feel that the scarcest resource needed for this project is time. While it might only take amonth to initially create a web-based experiment, additional time is needed in order to ensurethat the experiment continues to function and grow.ConclusionWeb-based experiments offer many advantages to engineering and science education.

Paper ID #37930‘Socially Distanced Community Engagement’ –Teaching GISSite-Analysis during COVIDJessie Zarazaga (Sustainability & Development Program Director)Cindy Hua Hello! I am a Ph.D. student in Applied Science for Engineering at Southern Methodist University. My research interests center on how community-based STEM can impact learning patterns and interest in STEM careers. I am equally interested in how such learning can also become a tool for student voice. During my time as a Human Rights Fellow, I created a STEM education program, STEM+Z: Investigating an Undead Apocalypse, using aspects of popular
behaviors in K-12 science teachingusing discourse analysis. This protocol focuses on the instructor, including tracking questionsand responses, transitions from one activity to another, physical movement and the set up of theclassroom space, which is appealing. However, there is no provision for the coding of tool use inthis protocol [31]. Subsequently, the Classroom Observation Protocol for Engineering Design(COPED) was designed to evaluate engineering design curriculum integration in K-12classrooms [32]. The authors focus their protocol on emphasizing engineering design processesand habits of mind. The COPED is an incremental protocol designed to observe one aspect ofengineering education in K-12 classes. Wheeler [32] states that other protocols

It is important that novice and intermediate learners be givenclues into the mystery of expertise unless we are willing to take the attitude, "Either they haveit, or they don't." The process of experts is demonstrated in cooperative learning groups where expertsdemonstrate their processes during a work session. When the teacher lectures or demonstrates aproblem solution or a derivation, he or she discloses some processes. However, without a structurewhereby students can make sense of the learning processes, they may have difficulty assimilatingthem. By breaking
