UniversityIntroductionIn this paper, we describe a design-based research project to realize, implement, and assess amobile instructional PIV (mI-PIV pronounced “my-P-eye-V”) system for educational use usingan iterative development process. The purpose of mI-PIV is to provide low cost educationalaccess to state-of-the-art fluid flow measurement and flow visualization tools to increasestudent’s interest, retention, and technical capacity in the broad yet critical field of fluiddynamics. The motivation for mI-PIV is based on the knowledge that a robust understanding offluid mechanics—the fundamental science of fluid motion—is foundational within fields of vitalimportance to our nation’s infrastructure, safety and defense, including aeronautical, biological,civil

These recommendations were then providedto first year students the following fall.BackgroundThere is a myriad of research on increasing success among first year engineeringstudents. However, little of this research has focused on what the students themselveswould offer as advice to incoming first year students. One 2006 Study by Foor et al.,asked 215 undergraduate students across three institutions “What advice would you givea freshman or high school student considering your major, or engineering in general, atyour institution?” 175 of the interviewees were “upper division” students, with more than60 credit hours.

Freshman-level courses inmath and chemistry (Pre-calculus, Calculus I, Calculus II, General Chemistry I, and Chemistryfor Engineers) were targeted for intervention because of their high drop and failure rates. TheEmerging Scholars Program (ESP) model was used to develop courses that were then offered toincoming freshmen beginning in Fall 2010. A second component of the project was thedevelopment of undergraduate research opportunities for students who completed the ESPcourses. Finally, research in STEM education was a third stated goal of the AURAS project.Marked improvements in pass rates and a decrease in the drop rates for the participants in theAURAS classes were noted during the

This casestudy of a 5th grade classroom focuses on how dynamics related to sharing personal information,engineering identity, and other interests interact with elementary school

Acknowledging and overcoming these fundamental barriers can sometimes bemore easily accomplished through more informal STEM education settings, such as summercamps, than in traditional classroom settings [7].Research has also shown that women and underrepresented minorities respond better to STEMeducation in settings where the task are contextualized, the projects that are socially-relevant,and when activities are multi-media and hands-on [6], [8], [9]. Studies have shown that womenare typically more attracted to projects that seek to improve society and consider this factor whenchoosing their college majors [10]. Several schools with engineering programs devoted toimproving society have large majorities of women enrolled in these programs, which

project came from the desire to continue to improve the quality of learningthat our students experience in the unit operations laboratory course. With input from the entirechemical engineering faculty, course changes are under consideration. As with most unitoperations laboratory courses, this course lives at the end of the 4-year curriculum and serves asthe culmination of the student's prior coursework. Chemical engineering faculty at Rose-HulmanInstitute of Technology (RHIT) perceive that students appear to lose motivation and excitementfor doing high-quality work in the laboratory course, potentially diminishing student outcomes;these attitudes are motivating the desired change to the curriculum.Before making changes, we first needed to assess

engineering student retention is unlikely to be instrumentalfor veteran students. The limited literature on veteran engineering student retention revealedsignificantly higher attrition rates (dismissal or discontinued enrollment) overall for thispopulation and identified that the first year is the most critical period [4]. This research project seeks to investigate and determine if social responsibility is afundamental motivator that encourages many to join the military, and can be linked to veteranstudent success when incorporated in the classroom starting with first-year engineering students.The term social responsibility refers to the ways engineering can positively impact society [7]and the responsibility of engineers to evaluate the broad
