familiar estimationof standard deviation from range values. Although the Tabular Method is simple to use, it hassome disadvantages4. First, the range estimation of standard deviation is an approximation and issometimes inefficient. Second, it is sometimes desirable to obtain confidence intervals on thesources of measurement variation5, and that is not easily accomplished with the Tabular Method.Third, a gage capability study is truly a designed experiment so the principles of goodexperimental analysis should be applied. It is noteworthy the D. Montgomery, a leading author inthe field of quality control, has removed the Tabular Method from recent editions of histextbook(s).The later Design of Experiment Method applies those good principles of

on our strongpower program with a high national and international reputation in education and research andusing a grant funding from the National Science Foundation’s Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM)program, we establish a scholarship program for recruitment, retention, and mentoring of futurepower engineering leaders in electric energy and smart grid. Our specific objectives are toincrease the number of students in the following groups in power engineering by 50%: (i)Bachelor’s, (ii) Master’s, (iii) underrepresented minorities, and (iv) women, by providingopportunities for lower division students, community college students, and four-year universitystudents to study in Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.IntroductionIt is well recognized

mathematical abilities [2]. Therefore, students who did not have the necessarymathematical abilities to be successful in engineering courses needed help to pursue theirengineering majors and complete their engineering degrees. In order to retain and supportengineering majors, many universities have offered bridge programs in mathematics for students[3][4]. Such programs were common in the 1990’s and have increased again recently as the needhas been recognized widely. Bridge programs aimed to increase engineering students’ retentionby strengthening their mathematical competencies. There are many types of bridge programs indifferent disciplines, especially science and mathematics. Bridge mathematics programs weremore common in mathematics than science

It was designed by and manufactured for a university with no intention ofspinning off a commercial enterprise, at least on its own. When other products became available,production ended and it was replaced in the classroom, mostly by Digilent’s Analog Discovery.Available for about the same amount of time as Mobile Studio are the CircuitGear devices fromSysComp. Their CircuitGear Mark II has a bandwidth of about 10MHz (40MS/s and 10bits) andcosts $189.

, Retaining and Graduating More Women in Computer Science and Math Abstract We report on the CS/M Scholars Program which is supported by an NSF S-STEM grant that began in 2011. The program aims to increase the number of women graduating with degrees in Computer Science or Mathematics. It is well known that women are under- represented in these fields nationally and this is also the case at our university. Our efforts include targeted recruitment of female high school students with a record of academic achievement and leadership potential. In addition to providing scholarships, student success is bolstered by required first-year seminars, early advising, and monthly events focused on professional

The curriculum will follow design principles and inclusive engineering experiences from Cunningham and Lachapell [21] and follow a 5-E constructivist model of engage, explore, explain, elaborate and evaluate [22]. CT thinking practices were pulled by the university research team from Weintrop et al.’s Taxonomy of CT [23] for integration with STEM. Those practices include Data Collection, Data Creation, Understanding a System as a Whole, Understanding the Relationship Between Parts of a System, Preparing Problems for Computational Solutions, a bit of Programming, and Using Computational Models to Solve a Problem.
