program were accepted and from which new studentswere accepted to participate in the program based on the same criteria used for the originalselection of participants.Internship OpportunityThis program provides a paid internship experience for 48 students following the completion ofthirty credit hours in a STEM related field. Internships were provided in companies not currentlyhiring interns from UMBC to increase internship support and encourage the involvement of morebusinesses with UMBC and CCBC. UMBC’s Shriver Center provided leadership for this portionof the project.Assessment and EvaluationThe outcomes for Objective 2 are reflected in student retention in STEM majors, grades, andcommitment to careers in STEM.

were reading thechallenge to design a rake for a one-handed person, they were going through the needs of theuser and the process intuitively. However, this was difficult because they had to keep remindingthemselves that the rake was for one hand. “You have to put yourself in the mindset…one hand,one hand.” A female student shared that she experienced doing a project in high school thatinvolved using the engineering process and a male student agreed. However, they did not knowthey were actually using the engineering design process until they reflected upon this in this firstyear college course.Regarding how this project was most helpful to your learning, the project and the class in generalgave the students more confidence. “I learned how to

no longer ignore these interdisciplinaryaspects of education. They are definitely not peripheral; they are central to the educationalneeds of many engineers…the Goals Report, in its adherence to orthodoxy, does not dealeffectively with these emerging domains that embody many of the dominant engineeringchallenges of the future.” Government representatives emphasized the social role of engineeringin policy: “To put it bluntly, I see little in the Goals Report that reflects the current and growingrequirements of the nation or of the world for engineering talent. I see little that relates suchsocial requirements back into the requirements of the educational system.”The definition of engineering that emerges from that meeting has a dialectic

and interprets those experiences to help individuals make sense of theirown career decisions and experiences (Farmer, 199712; Peterson, Sampson, Reardon, & Lenz,199642; Tyson, 200145).The study of career development of women has become increasingly important, as thepercentage of the labor force that is female has increased (Gutek & Larwood, 198720). As morewomen enter the labor market, the focus has shifted from “women oriented toward homemakingversus careers” to “traditional versus nontraditional careers and identifying career patterns ofwomen” (Gutek & Larwood, 1987, p. 17820). This shift reflects the changing career expectationsof women in information technology. Women have entered the labor market in larger numberand are more

to more accurately reflect CFD process and capabilityand accuracy for specific student applications, including comparisons with AFD or EFDvalidation data. The evaluation confirmed that the implementation was worthwhile andpromising, but at same time indicated direction for improvements. (1) Use of differentspecialized CFD templates for each exercise implied different CFD process for each applicationand did not facilitate site testing. (2) Exercises lacked options and depth.

. Because law is a reflection of the ethical and moral climateof a jurisdiction, it will change as that climate changes. New legislation is passed. Decisions in older Page 4.451.5cases may be overturned or modified. However, the parties in those old cases cannot now return tocourt and get the decisions in their particular case changed – only the law has changed, not theircase. In actual practice it is unlikely the parties even know their case has been overturned or the lawapplicable to their case has changed. Many years or decades may have elapsed.4.

The instructormust reflect on whether all course assignments should be turned into games, or if there can bealternatives that could be considered instead.Design Weaknesses:First, building these games requires a substantial amount of effort. Attempting to figure out howbest to convey a topic in a novel manner is a very difficult task when you have never doneanything like this before. Making sure each game is unique and also does not detract from thelesson is a difficult balancing act. In addition, many classes are limited in the amount of time thatcan be spent on instructing how best to play the game at the expense of the time that can beallotted to playing said games.In addition, games have a habit of “running

, play a crucial role ineducating and training engineers in the southeastern region [50], [51]. The state's commitment toengineering education is reflected in the development of pre-college engineering curricula, theestablishment of specialized engineering facilities, and the implementation of programs aimed atbridging technical skills gaps between high school students and local employers [52]. Florida'suniversities, designated as R1 or R2 in Figure 1, exhibit varying degrees of research intensity.These universities typically have robust research programs across various engineering disciplines,such as materials science, power systems, and micro aerial vehicle aerodynamics [53], [54].2.5.

partially focused ontesting or proving that all three domains are connected in the overall learning process -- they areconnected [17]. It found all the domains to be correlated when evaluating students’ learning,meaning more research should be conducted on how to better connect all three domains in a classstructure for deeper understanding, the rest of their findings predominately relate to the affectiveand psychomotor domain [17]. This idea is directly echoed in another report finding that all threedomains need to be intentionally integrated into a class for more effective learning [10]. This ideathat the domains are connected is reflected in the fact that many studies focus on two domains ata time instead of only one domain at a time [4-5], [10
