Students at both the HBCU andPWI experienced projected stereotypes; however, the students at the PWI recalled moreencounters perceived as microaggressions. Ascription of intelligence was also prevalent amongstboth sites, and one Black female student at the HBCU explicitly recalled when ascription ofintelligence is most prominent.

Figure 1 shows the conceptual design of the proposedsystem. The overall design of the system was changed very little from the beginning phase of the projectto the finish. There are three main sections listed as the Brain Box, the water reservoir, and the connectedplant(s). Each of these parts consists of smaller components that allow the system to function properly.

His team also assisted in the deployment of 84 TACMAV systems in 2005. Around that time he volunteered as a science advisor and worked at the Rapid Equipping Force during the summer of 2005 where he was exposed to a number of unmanned systems technologies. His initial group composed of about 6 S&T grew to nearly 30 between 2003 and 2010 as he transitioned from a Branch head to an acting Division Chief.

engineering education, like engineers, remain overwhelmingly White and middleclass,[9] we argue that additional validation strategies are needed for these researchers whenworking with underrepresented groups. This theoretical paper draws from our own experiencesin working with culturally diverse youth, as well as methodological literature on qualitativeinquiry writ large, to expand Walther et al.’s framework by making it account more robustly forlinguistic and culturalism pluralism, and specifically for linguistic and cultural differencesamong researchers and participants in engineering education.In this paper, we use Walther, Sochacka, and Kellam’s framework as a starting point foridentifying strategies for ensuring quality in qualitative research
CURE section. For thisreason, we did not advertise or inform students about the planned difference between thesections. Out of a total of 134 students (40 in the CURE section, 94 in the traditional lecturesection), only two changed sections after the first day of class, and this was for schedulingreasons. We note that for this pilot semester, the CURE section started with 110 available seats,and the traditional section had 100 available seats. We think the large difference in studentsregistered was a function of schedules for the S’18 semester.Pilot Program: Research Activities & AssignmentsIn the CURE section of IE271, there are now four research experiences involving the followingtopics: time study and line balancing, ergonomic risk and

Subcategories in the survey include relevance of engineering (RoE),pedagogy for teaching engineering (Ped), when to teach engineering (WtTSE), characteristics ofengineers (SoE), and improving abilities to teach engineering (IAtTE).In general, the Teacher Attitude Survey for this group of summer camp team lead participantswas slightly higher than the teachers in Lachapelle et al.’s sample [14]; for each subcategory,scores were 2-5% higher for the summer camp teachers than post-tests for teachers who hadengaged in Museum of Science engineering professional development (see Table 2).

leak-free or airtight systems such as in plastic(micro) fluidic systems, e.g., for point-of-care lab-on-a-chip systems.An ultrasonic weld is made by bringing the working surface of a horn (sonotrode) connected toan ultrasonic transducer in close contact with two workpieces that have been positioned andaligned. The vibrating horn pressed onto the surface of the workpiece(s) creates ultrasonic(10,000 to 30,000 Hz) waves that travel through the workpiece. The ultrasonic waves incombination with applied force, create a vibration-induced frictional heating at the matingsurfaces of the parts, leading to surface melting and subsequent fusion.Ultrasonic welding is a relatively fast (1 sec per weld), clean process that does not requireadhesives
results in lower performance averages by students compared to PSVT:R problems forthis population. It is expected, based on Reusch et al.’s results [22], that there is a higherdifficulty level on the MCT problems used. This, in turn, may have been reflected by themoderate increase in EDA when we consider dividing this value by the time expended on theMCT problem-set as can be estimated from the two Figure 3 graphs (e.g., 0.05microSiemens/minute for MCT). The preliminary results of this pilot study corroborate thesefindings by suggesting a higher normalized arousal (or mean range-corrected EDA/timed event)found in these types of problems compared to PSVT:R (0.13 microSiemens/minute) and Staticsproblems (0.01 microSiemens/minute) (Figure 3).Parallel

high need for assessment in change projects is often paired with a low prevalenceof formal assessment activity (Beach et al., 2016). To avoid this, a structured approach toassessment should be used from the very beginning, and conducted as an integral component ofthe entire project. During planning, assessment of “readiness for change” is critical (Reeves,2009; Lehman, Greener, and Simpson, 2002; Combe, 2014; Lynch & Smith, 2016). Movingthrough the project, assessment plans should be mindful of Banta et al.’s (1996) principle ofassessment stating that “Assessment requires attention to outcomes, but also and equally to theexperiences that lead to those outcomes”. To do this, Hall (2013) argues that direct assessment ofthe extent of
enhance the students’ understanding of microcontrollers andmicroprocessors, and (3) add one or two EET251 lab(s) with C programming experiences canhelp student better transition from PIC16F84A to ARM M4 which is covered in EET 418. With the help of this new curriculum and the common hardware platform, CPET studentsat PVAMU had the opportunity to practice embedded system hands-on experiments withoutundue stress in connecting basic peripheral interfacing circuits. The problem that we perceivedwas that it was difficult for students to write C program code for the ARM microcontrollerbecause of the complexity of ARM technology. It will be helpful to introduce simplemicrocontroller, such as PIC16FXXX, in both ASM and C coding in some previous
for example [40]–[43]). This line of research couldbenefit from the use of Faulkner’s and Kendi’s frameworks to investigate specific instances ofindividual and structural racism. To illustrate, we look to Murphy et al.’s assessment of GeorgiaTech’s summer bridge program, the Challenge Program, and its role in the higher likelihood ofgraduation for underrepresented minority students involved [42]. Georgia Tech is aPredominantly White Institution (PWI). Murphy et al. found that there was a significantrelationship between participation in the Challenge Program and increased retention/graduationrate [42]. Quantitatively, they recognized the need for summer bridge programs and theprogram’s importance in retention. What their study was not designed
