many students call out: “the independence of working through designs did help in future work terms as well as in design course[s]” “I believe my experience with CAD and mechanical design helped me to secure a coop in a 3D printing research lab as a materials researcher” “The coop position was well balanced with guidance available when needed and freedom to explore and develop as an aspiring engineer.” “Creative problem solving: Being asked to design products for specific uses in Solidworks and actually printing/making the products”There is not much connection between the types of jobs that students found after their work inthe Ideas Clinic – though two commented on how their interactions with

These women were notrecognized until they vocalized their need for meaningful work and were able to demonstratetheir value as interns. This finding aligns with Chopra et al.’s [26] study involving genderdifferences in WILs, such that the greatest difference in satisfaction in women’s experiencesconcerned the lack of recognition and exposure to overt discrimination. The experiences of thesewomen provide the foundation for future work to examine how a lack of representation withinthe workplace can influence how students who are historically underrepresented in STEM

ProjectsBefore graduation, students may work on a senior design project. This is a project supervised byfaculty member(s) which can be one or two semesters long. Students may need to do someresearch to come up with the project alone and approved by his/her supervisor, or student andsupervisor together come up with the project. Usually, it is required to be a working project.Means, it must be a real-world software product. To design and develop such a software product,a student applies what he/she has learned in his/her classes. This will be a good review for thestudent and sees the application of what has learned. In addition, the student may need to learnnew things required for completing the project. In some cases, there is some cost involvedbecause
institution are all included,particularly when there are multiple courses in material and energy balances and/or multiplefaculty teaching the course(s).Of the 74 distinct institutions reporting, 4 are on the quarter system and 70 use semesters. Onlyone responding institution is accredited through EngineersCanada, with the rest accreditedthrough ABET. Respondents to the survey are similar in size to the departments in the UnitedStates. The distribution of sizes for departments in the top 50 by graduating class size is shownin Figure 1 [2] for both the United States and the survey respondents. In this box-and-whiskersplot, the mean graduating class size is marked by an x, the extremes are marked by the whiskers,the box bottom and top are the first and
dimensions. This methodology reinforces key concepts while covering the variousstyles of learning affording all students the greatest opportunity for learning andultimately enhancing their professional careers. The teaching opportunities that arepotentially available in this manner are motivating for not only the student but also forthe instructor to continually seek improvement in how instructional materials arepresented and how student can be effectively challenged to magnify their learningexperience.References:1.

After the completion of each topical area, the students took a post-test and apost-affect survey. Three times during the semester (Pre, Mid, and Post), a student outcomessurvey was administered. All tests and exercises were graded using uniform grading rubrics. Atthe end of the semester, the students also completed a final report that included a learningeffectiveness survey for each of the eight challenges and a matrix that mapped generalBiomechanics topics to the modules.

aphenomenon caused by a microorganism, Aureoumbra lagunensis, that discolors thewater. The turbidity of the water has a negative impact on the seagrasses that grow in theshallow waters in the vicinity of Corpus Christi. In turn, the entire ecosystem isnegatively affected; ducks lose feeding grounds, larval fish and other creatures losehabitat, larger animals also lose feeding grounds. The Brown Tide persisted for severalyears in the 1990’s, and the natural consequences became economic ones2.Brown Tide is a complex phenomenon. SCAMP took on the task of measuring turbidity.To start, we simply took the students to the field to observe it. This was aided by a toolcalled a Secchi disk3. The Secchi disk has a diameter of about 6 to 8 inches and isdivided

All the course contentsare made available through the web2. A significant part of the student's assignment is topost analyses on ethics at the course web site, for critique and response by other students.Each post is moderated by the faculty team for content and appropriateness, and gradedon a 6 point scale. The posts are organized by threads, which are often begun by thefaculty team. In their posts the students need to "focus on making a point (or points) andthen giving reasons for the point(s) (they) have made … (They) may …make positiveclaims (in favor of

The course targets upper level students majoring in electrical engineering, computerengineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science.
