course, and the second grant ($2000) wasobtained in 2012 to create 42 videos for a hybrid introductory computer programming course. Afew faculty members involved in these projects attended a week-long summer institute from theuniversity’s teaching and learning center (called “eLearning”) which discussed best practices invideo design. As a result, the videos created for the two grants were short and modular, withmost videos being less than 10 minutes in length and covering a single topic or example; shortvideos are generally preferred by students [9], [10], [11]. The videos were initially uploaded to alocal university server and links were made available to other mechanical engineering instructorswho had the option of sharing the links with

This promotes a crispness inrequirements formulation and fosters singularity and precision.Figure 9: VerificationThe author found that despite providing quality check tables (that contained elements thatviolated a style guide rule), some students had difficulties in using them to improve modelquality. The introduction of an on-demand validation suite (See Table 1) significantly improvedproject quality (no projects have been submitted with violations since its introduction). It allowsthe codification of the quality checks and when the validation engine processes the rules,violating elements are identified within the model. It is relatively simple for modelers to thencorrect the issues (receiving satisfying feedback
@mail.usf.edu Abstract This paper accompanies the poster presented at the IEEE ASEE 2019 conference’s NSF grantees special poster session. Our goal is to provide the reader with an overview of the deliverable and findings that resulted from three collaborative National Science Foundation (NSF) awards from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program; #1504634, #1502564, and #1503834. The so-called EvoParsons project (http://cereal.usf.edu/EvoParsons) resulted in a proof of concept educational software aimed at novice programmers. It applies coevolutionary computations theories and advances to both design Parsons puzzles for students, and enable a dimension based analysis

Research Purpose and QuestionsPast efforts to foster inclusion have primarily focused on the numbers and been limited in theways we teach, train and expose people to learning inclusiveness and empathy. Moreover, suchefforts are also linked to the misconception that increasing demographic representationnecessitates an inclusive environment. Cultures must change to achieve inclusion. The role of thefaculty in shaping culture, specifically in engineering, is critical and yet, understudied. Throughfaculty, this project seeks to address a major area of engineering research, broadeningparticipation, in a novel way. Specifically, rather than

And I said, "What I'm most awareof everyday is that I'm Black, I'm a woman, and I'm short."How does your gender impact your experience in your doctoral program?It impacts it a lot. As an example: I was in a group project last semester, and Imade some suggestions. Everybody ignored my comment. Some guy said thesame thing 10 minutes later, and they're were like, "That's a great idea." And Ithought, "I'm just going to shut up from now on and just.” I reverted back into thatminimization because it's like I literally said that's what we should do, and nobodypaid me any attention.What does it mean to be a Black woman in
interaction of assessment withlearning and teaching. As an integral part, assessment provides an opportunity for teachers and students alike toidentify areas of understanding and misunderstanding. With this knowledge, students andteachers can build on the understanding and seek to transform misunderstanding into significantlearning (N.R.C., 1993). Assessment as ‘learning’ is not a third-party research project orsomeone's questionnaire; it must be viewed as a community effort or nothing, driven by afaculty's own commitment to reflect, judge, and improve (Narayanan, 2007 & 2009). The author has tried to follow such a philosophy while gathering data for this project. Inthis presentation the author provides some guidelines for

The challenges of designing anintroductory computing sequence that accommodates such a diverse population include pacingthe course such that students with little or no experience may succeed while at the same timeproviding learning and growth opportunities to those students that do have experience.Historically the rate of students

UniversityIntroductionIn this paper, we describe a design-based research project to realize, implement, and assess amobile instructional PIV (mI-PIV pronounced “my-P-eye-V”) system for educational use usingan iterative development process. The purpose of mI-PIV is to provide low cost educationalaccess to state-of-the-art fluid flow measurement and flow visualization tools to increasestudent’s interest, retention, and technical capacity in the broad yet critical field of fluiddynamics. The motivation for mI-PIV is based on the knowledge that a robust understanding offluid mechanics—the fundamental science of fluid motion—is foundational within fields of vitalimportance to our nation’s infrastructure, safety and defense, including aeronautical, biological,civil

However, little of this research has focused on what the students themselveswould offer as advice to incoming first year students. One 2006 Study by Foor et al.,asked 215 undergraduate students across three institutions “What advice would you givea freshman or high school student considering your major, or engineering in general, atyour institution?” 175 of the interviewees were “upper division” students, with more than60 credit hours.

This means answering questions such as: Which type of motor is the most appropriate for the given application? At what speed(s) should be motor be operating? What torque is required for the application? What environmental issues need to be considered in selecting the motor?An initial foray into motor selection was briefly discussed as part of a larger discussion involvingworking with industrial partners [10].
