Since the Summer of 2015 I have been privileged to work with the Texas A and M Sketch Recognition Lab (TAMU SRL) to evaluate two online tutorial tools (Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS)) currently under development, Mechanix and Sketchtivity, that provide immediate constructive feedback to the students and student-level metrics to the instructors. I presented on this work at the state and national PLTW Conventions and at CPTTE in 2016. I also spent 5 semesters beginning the Fall of 2015 in online courses learning how to construct and deliver online courses

Based on these two goals, the class topics were broken down into twoareas: Military Technology Applications and Research Tools. The course was developed andoffered as a technical elective for all engineering undergraduate

institutions), while other, often newer, programs like biomedical (BME) and environmental(ENV) reach near parity in some schools. BME and ENV are often viewed as “helping”disciplines, which suggests why they may be more appealing to women students. Researchconducted as a means of evaluating a NSF project to attract more women to engineering showsthat young women are attracted to “helping” disciplines within engineering2. Anecdotal evidencefrom one institution suggests adding a “helping” discipline may be associated with a decline inthe proportion of women in a related traditional discipline (that is, the new disciplines mayattract women already in the engineering pipeline, rather than attracting women to engineeringwho would not otherwise be enrolled

While many universitiesoffer elective courses in computer programming that can expand students’ knowledge, thepresent project was done to determine the frequency of requiring different types of programmingcourses, and whether generalizations can be made about the state of undergraduate BMEeducation in this respect. Required computer courses for BME students can be assigned toseveral categories: 1) MATLAB, 2) object-oriented programming (e.g. Python, C++), 3)programming of microcontrollers for on board sensing or control of electromechanical devices,4) computer-aided design (CAD), sometimes used in conjunction with

Finally, being unable to be authentic was also prevalent among the students of color in thisstudy. For example, a Latina woman discussed how she tailored her behavior when performingher leadership duties: “The way I converse, definitely a male thing. Because I definitely talk a littlebit differently when I'm with family and people I know very well.” Thus, failing to includeracialized and gendered experiences may overlook factors that can act as stressors on the leadershipexperiences and development of engineering students.AcknowledgementFunding for this project was provided by the National Science Foundation under grant EEC-ENG1738132.

Generally, this is caused by the lack ofadequate cooling and improper layout of components. One effective and common method ofcooling electronic devices is the use of heat sinks. A heat sink is a device to promote the heattransfer from one medium to another using extended surfaces. Heat from the electronics isabsorbed and transmitted to the heat sink fins, which are cooled by natural or forced convection.The performance of heat sinks is often presented as a plot of thermal resistance of the heat sinksversus a variable airflow.
