One registrant was professional staff of the University whoaudited the course because of a personal interest in the topic. Within these five sections, studentsrepresented additional programs ranging from Translation & Interpretation Studies to African-American Studies. All five sections met together, with faculty from each of the departments co-instructing all class sessions. One faculty member acted as lead facilitator for each class, with allothers

paper discusses a Real Time Embedded System Course I designed that uses theXilinx Zynq platform to give students first-hand experience with modern System-on-Chip designmethodologies and the challenges that designers face in both hardware and software bring-up fora modern IP-based design.The first portion of this paper discusses how students were trained to use the Zynq platform. Thefirst weeks of the class were dedicated to teaching students the basics of real-time system andcustom hardware design. Students used a Zynq-based port of Free-RTOS to learn about Real-time operating systems. Through a series of laboratory assignments, students are taught how tointerface the RTOS with custom hardware that they place on the FPGA portion of the chip

Learning through DesignFindings from initial field studies of this work have focused on better understanding informalexperiences related to design [30, 31, 32]. With regard to where engineering design learningoccurs, the literature points to various educational contexts that effectively deliver engineeringdesign education. The most common settings include capstone design courses, first-yearengineering courses, and other non-traditional classroom experiences (e.g. Virtual laboratories).Strategies that involve authentic and longer-term engineering design experiences tend to be themost impactful in terms of student outcomes and perceptions, however those experiences are notalways implementable at larger scale. More traditional educational approaches

the textbook or guide, design and layout shouldbe developmentally appropriate and students did not like reliance on the textbook, so programdevelopers should deliver content in an innovative manner. Students prefer adequate class timefor project work, and might attend meetings before or after school to have more access to freetime. Perhaps students could be allowed an EPICS study hall or laboratory option in theirschedule. Students want engagement with other communities doing similar projects. Theywanted “more communication between groups working on similar projects.” They also wantedto interact with EPICS alumni who are “now living an engineering lifestyle.” We have not yetresponded to either of these suggestions with program level changes
the firstweek, Nelson participated in numerous activities and casually interacted with the students.Towards the end of the week she approached each student individually and asked them toparticipate in an interview discussing their perceptions of being female engineers. All interviews were conducted face-to-face at the REU’s host university in a conferenceroom adjacent to the research laboratory. Nelson, who holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree inenvironmental engineering and a Ph.D. in curriculum and instruction: engineering education,conducted all interviews. She provided a unique background that aligned with the students,including working towards an engineering degree and participating in summer undergraduateresearch programs

. StereotypeGender and racial bias which affects how we perceive and treat one another is shaped bycultural stereotypes. Despite a decline in explicit or self-reported bias, implicit or unconsciousbias remains widespread [2]. Babcock and Laschever [3] showed that even women themselveshold stereotypes about women and that women undervalue the work that they perform. A studyfound pervasive gender discrimination among science faculty where faculty were more likely tochoose a male candidate over a female candidate for a student science-laboratory position [4].In this case, both male and female scientists offered a higher salary to a male candidate thanthey did to an identical female candidate. Although this particular study was on faculty biasagainst student
of improving students’ development along one or more of the patterns. Additionally, we believe CSR is a particularly appropriate method for this study because the method permits teaching practices to be studied in the context of a real classroom. The classroom setting within our case study contrasts the laboratory setting used by a large number of studies that have informed the development of the matrix (e.g., [6][9]). The controlled conditions of these research studies do not accurately reflect engineering practice which often requires engineers to work on teams over long durations to solve complex problems. Additionally, the clinical setting does not reflect an educational setting in which a teacher is available to help guide and
social motive can be built explicitly or implicitly. Team projectassignments can be an explicit social motive, and the informal atmosphere can be an implicitway to promote social interaction. Intrinsic motive can be conducted through theimprovement and completeness of laboratory practices, assignments, and projects. Extrinsicmotive can be achieved by offering incentives like rewards, such as extra points, prizes,certificates, etc. CIM believes that only with strong capabilities as a basis, a student’s innovation can beinspired under the guidance of intrinsic or extrinsic motives.
