gradingincentive that works well with students. Therefore, our proposed course structure used aneffective combination of group learning and specially prepared detailed course notes. After thefirst (background check) quiz the following e-mail (boxed below) was sent to the class givingstudents another opportunity to relearn the topics. The quiz 1 mentioned below was multiple-choice type. Many students would guess answers on such questions. But the condition forregrading such quizzes was they must learn the correct reason/s for each of the missed questionby reading notes, or by discussions with groupmates or others. This worked very well. In fact,our data shows a consistent interest among students. Further tracking some of the students fromFluids II to the

For example,Tomko et al.’s study (2021) identified key aspects of women’s pathways into universitymakerspaces, which also identified important themes of community and relationships [18]. Wewill also explore how our makerspace definitions can intersect with existing work on definingmore forms of participation in making to include more social practices (e.g., [9], [19]).ConclusionThe knowledge and collaborative assistance aspect of makerspaces, as evidenced by the frequentuse of terms like “people,” “know,” “go,” “things,” “stuff,” “help,” and “engineering” in bothmen’s and womxn’s text, suggests a common theme of individuals going to

method is structural analysis, where a researcher observes anarrative by identifying the outline, or structure, of how it's told. Structural analysis involvespiecing together the plot of the story without making inferences that may shift the storyteller'swords. The third method, constructed narrative analysis, closely relates to Polkinghorne's [20]narrative analysis technique, where specific events are synthesized to form one main narrative.This form of analysis may involve direct quotes from the participant(s), inviting the reader tomake their own inferences.Kellam et. al [13] points out the trade-offs with using each type of analysis method, as each typemay be beneficial for answering different questions. However, they make it clear that the

The gyroscope they designedwas created with the help of MEMS-Microfluidic solutions that enabled the implementation ofmicrofluidic channels in etched glass layers, which sandwiched a bulk-micromachined siliconsubstrate consisting of the sensing structures. Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS)gyroscopes are motion sensors that detect and measure the angular motion of an object [28]. Theycompared the angular rate sensitivity results of the designed gyroscope with a reference device,indicating an angular rate sensitivity of fewer than 1°/s, equivalent to that of the natural VS. Anultra-low power consumption of 300 μW was achieved without continually excited vibrating mass,which

In addition, this framework for engineering graduate student identity development has thepotential to increase understanding of doctoral students’ experiences, particularly those ofhistorically marginalized graduate students, and how institutions may better support the identitydevelopment of all students. Furthering understanding of identity development in graduateschool supports the development of a more representative engineering workforce throughincreased understanding of the identity experiences of engineering doctoral students. Thus, thiswork may have implications for persistence and representation in graduate school and academia.References[1] S. L. Rodriguez, C
