2023 ASEE Midwest Section Conference The Forces of Stage Design: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Teaching Normal Force, Frictional Force, and Design Ethics for non-STEM Majors Kristine Q. Loh1 and Moumita Dasgupta2 1 Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 2 Department of Physics, Augsburg University, Minneapolis, MNAbstractThis paper presents an innovative lecture and lab for teaching the concepts of normal andfrictional force to non-STEM majors through a design activity centered on raked, or inclined,stages. This joint lecture and lab suited a three
learning experience.We made a series of improvements to the structure of lecture delivery and instructional pathingin the classroom to reduce lecture presentations and increase Q&A sessions. A follow up studentsurvey was done three weeks after the lecture adjustment was made. The student survey datashows that after the adjustment of lecturing and pathing, the lecture delivery method wasimproved to 92% from 56% while the student’s understanding of the materials was increased to98% from 71%. The teaching strategies to improve the student’s learning experience wereconsidered effective. The adjusted lecture materials and instructional pathing have beendocumented and will be used for the next semester.KeywordsStudent survey, Classroom Dynamics

(2)The flow through the orifice may be described by the equation Q = Avc vvc (3) © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Midwest Section ConferenceHowever, the area of the vena contracta is difficult to measure. Thus, the discharge coefficient, 𝐴𝐴CD = 𝐴𝐴𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣 , is introduced so that Equation (3) may be rewritten as 𝑜𝑜 Q = CD A0 vvc (4) 𝜋𝜋𝑑𝑑𝑜𝑜2where A0 is the area of the orifice
: 𝑚(𝑢2 − 𝑢1 ) + 𝑊 ∆𝑡 = 𝐸𝑞𝑛 3 𝑄The mass can be directly found by the water volume. The specific internal energies can be foundfrom the steam tables. The work is found by, 2 𝑊 = ∫ 𝑝𝑑𝑉 = 𝑚𝑝(𝜗2 − 𝜗1 ) 𝐸𝑞𝑛 4 1The heat, Q, is found by measuring the interface temperature of the copper cup and the hot plateas well as the temperature of the bottom of the cup. The thickness of the bottom of the cup mustbe known to complete this calculation. Equation 5 gives this value

decisions about the project andinterpret the effects those decisions had on the outcomes. The students were asked to come up witha hypothesis after the first day of the project and asked to identify the independent and dependentvariables after completing the second day.Three types of membrane filtration techniques were explored: membrane chromatography, deadend filtration, and tangential flow filtration. The first project modeled tangential flow filtrationusing a cross flow membrane cassette (Vivaflow 50, Sartorius) to separate food dye fromwatercolor pigment [4]. A gel electrophoresis experiment (Flynn Scientific) was performed firstto illustrate the size of dye molecules. The second project used membrane chromatography(Mustang Q Acrodisc, Pall

flipped (lectures given via videos outside class with class timeused for Q/A and problem solving) has made game-based learning more enticing. The instructormay setup games, competitions, or group activities to challenge the students to solve problems inclass. The instructor is there to help guide the students for immediate feedback to help developthe skills needed to answer questions.The majority of the authors on this paper are experienced in teaching electric circuits. Circuits isa challenging subject matter at its core, so any technique to help educate the students is welcome.A long-term goal of the research is to develop an end-to-end circuits instruction platform thatconcentrates on student outcomes and retention rates, but to reach that
