,including video communication tools, construction sites can be “brought” to the classroom, butthis strategy can be awkward, less engaging than a real site visit, and only provides a snapshotof the construction process.It is important for students to have not only visual experiences with construction sites, but also atactile experience. A tactile experience is very difficult to achieve through site visits (where theyare limited in what they can access), videos, and slide show presentations. To address thisdifficulty, we propose the use of scaled realistic models to augment a classroom experience.The research presented in this paper outlines the process of creating 1:50 scale models thatrepresent a one-story concrete building and a two-story steel

and tutors in that theyreceive additional pedagogical training based on constructivist models of teaching and learning(e.g., sociocultural theory [1]). Their role in the classroom is to facilitate and guide, often throughquestioning, in ways that will help students reach understanding on their own. Studies on theLearning Assistant model have demonstrated numerous benefits, such as increased conceptualunderstanding; an increase in positive affective dimensions such as belonging; and an increase inwell-trained and enthusiastic future STEM teachers. While existing education research hasillustrated positive impacts on students in STEM classrooms, less work has focused on thepersonal and epistemological development of the LAs themselves.In this

Our study targets undergraduate students todetermine: (1) Do male and female students choose to major in engineering at similar times in their academic career? (2) Did the same factors contribute to choosing engineering as a major for both female and male students?Data for this study was collected in the Fall 2021 semester.

The current approach relies on three instructors that focus ontheir areas of expertise by having separate course sections. While constant collaboration andcalibration of the assessment is necessary, the focused work, while still enabling an amplevariety of projects, is proving to be sustainable and effective.The paper quantifies instructor workload, coordination challenges, student feedback, projectdiversity, and assessment and evaluation characteristics of the different instructional modelsbased on data collected over the past 6 years, and can help inform the suitability of teachingmodality choices.1.

United States, the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionsremain disproportionately white and male when compared with the overall population [1]. This is also thecase with higher education degree attainment [1]. Our university has one of the more diverse studentpopulations in the U. S. [2], and a stated commitment to social justice, equity, and inclusion [3].However, our faculty demographics reflect the national trends in the STEM professions. Thus, ourstudents may not see people like them represented in our faculty or their chosen professions. Representation does matter for college STEM students. STEM college students from historicallyunderrepresented gender and ethnic groups indicated that watching STEM

In our research we consider the content of existing conversations, what is missing from this discourse, and areas for further research.Introduction “As a broader awareness of, interest in, and a professional desire (and often a personal desire) for a more equitable, accessible and just world increases, some in the sciences struggle to incorporate these social developments into their research and teaching. Science librarianship can be similarly removed from this discourse.” - Bussmann et al, 2020, “Science Librarianship and Social Justice: Part One Foundational Concepts” [1]How are STEM librarians engaging with DEI principles and the

Have they motivated engineering students to start their ownbusinesses? According to human psychology studies, intention is the best predictor ofplanned and actual behavior [1]. In previous studies, researchers have extensivelyexplored the effects of entrepreneurship education on EI. Some studies have foundthat students who have participated in entrepreneurship education have significantlyhigher EI than students who have not received any entrepreneurship education [2].Although many studies have confirmed the role of entrepreneurship education inpromoting EI, few

Examplesof specific skills taught in circuit analysis labs include: 1. Read and interpret technical documentation. 2. Recognize physical circuit components. 3. Build physical circuits by following circuit schematics. 4. Operate different electronic and power measurement instruments to measure circuit parameters. 5.

The Raspberry Pi was programmed to take an array of temperatures that were thencompared with a spread of acceptable temperature ranges. If the temperature is within anacceptable range, then the linear actuator opens and closes for a preset duration. Once thatprocess is complete, the raspberry pi diverts back to the scanning process for the next person tobe scanned. If a temperature is scanned that is NOT within the acceptable range, the actuator willnot open. The design test set up schematic is shown in Figure 1

possible to cover the detailed theory and applications of all high-level classes. For thisreason, many educational projects are aimed to give students the opportunity to acquire this high-level knowledge through a hands-on practice. At the end of these projects, students concludetheir experience and prepare a student manual that, later on, guides other groups in getting thesame knowledge through hands-on experience. This initiative is applied through some seniordesign projects within the Engineering Technology program.
