student assistant. The capstone design projects are a mix ofindustry-sponsored projects, student-proposed projects, national design competitions, andfaculty-proposed projects. Funding for projects comes from an endowment provided by a largeindustry partner of the institution and various donations for the specific projects.Due to University B being a smaller private institution with 14 undergraduate majors in theCollege of Engineering, it is commonplace to have interdisciplinary capstone design teams madeup of students from two or more engineering or science majors. Projects are housed in a specificdepartment but capstone design instructors work together on interdisciplinary projects to ensureall requirements for each discipline are met to

(desire to eliminate incongruity). Curiosity (motivated behavior) leads to improved understanding (learning), if the incongruity in humor message is relevant to what is to be learned.From a theoretical perspective, then, the successful use of humor depends on (a) the humormessage capturing the attention of the learner and being relevant and appropriate, and (b) thelearner resolving the incongruity in the humor message. Empirical research into the instructionalvalue of humor, however, has yielded inconsistent results, largely because learning is anemergent property that results from the interaction of the many factors at work in any classroom.Some of these are under the instructor’s control, but many are not.

They observed a smaller proportion of female students’ enrollment than male students inthe course and significant gender gaps in the attitudes toward and perceptions of science andengineering, which were favored by male students.From the representative national sample, Sadler, Sonnert, Hazari, and Tai (2012)11 observed that(a) STEM career interests were stable by male students but volatile by female students duringhigh school; (b) the STEM interests at the start of high school was a strong predictor of theSTEM interest at the end of high school; and (c) the difficulty in attracting female students toSTEM fields during high school.

Byincorporating a new co-educational paradigm between the community college and the university, asopposed to traditional articulation agreements, this project provides a novel pathway for community collegestudents to transition to a four-year degree program. It also incorporates a new method for trying to ensurethat community college students who matriculate to partner 4-year institutions receive reverse transfercredit for their associate degrees at their home community college.
