We learnt that incorporation of lesson plans developed by theteachers into their existing courses is difficult--- there is little time to bring in new materialbecause of demands to cover standards-based content that students

the semester (see Appendix A) and became less detailed as the semesterprogressed (see Appendix B).Hands-on activities introduced concepts that the students had not previously studied. Rather thanpresenting the mathematical derivation as the introduction to a topic, students were again dividedinto groups and given materials and actions to impose on these materials. A hands-on activity foreach major course topic was created (reactions, stress/strain axial loading, torsion, and bending)to introduce the basic concepts. A provided outline for these “discovery labs” aimed to help thestudents to first observe and describe a physical phenomenon and then represent itmathematically. For example, students were asked to build models of different joints

The instructor also fills out the same review formduring the student presentations. These forms are collected and given to the students at the endof the presentations. In addition, audience members are encouraged to provide real-time oralfeedback to the presenter directly following the presentation.In the written evaluation of these workshops, which the students complete on the final session,there is a question asking how useful they felt the peer reviews were on a scale of one to ten.Because these workshops are part of a new program that began in January 2015, they

Further, including both “Male” and“Transgender Male” in an attempt to correct this problem immediately “othering” (i.e.,intentionally or unintentionally classifying a group as non-normative) the trans people answeringthe survey. Adding a modifier to the normative male communicates that people who identify astrans are not part of the “normal” categories; this is especially true when nonbinary gendersappear after the binary options seemingly as an afterthought. Another example is when binarycategories appear alongside trans and “cisgender”b options.

A suitable problem for the DST is defined as an authentic, real-world design problem that has yet to be solved, and that would require significant effort, time,and expertise to solve; the purpose of the DST is not to assess ability to solve a design problem,but rather to measure how students get started framing a design problem.We located two appropriate problems for the DST, both from an email requesting ideas forsolving technological problems, issued by Deutscher Technologiedienst GmbH (used withpermission, and with minor adaptations for our purposes, see Appendix B & C).The DST was given during class time in the first week of class.

To address even more nascent student beliefs, Engineering isElementary, a curriculum targeting students in middle school and even younger, has pointed toevidence that (a) people choosing careers in engineering and science gain interest as early aselementary school, (b) interest in science tends to decline after elementary school, and (c)engaging students with this material at an early age can help them consider engineering andscience as a future career, which would not have happened otherwise 20.If we

It would have been beneficialto record the number of students being assessed in the tables in Appendices B, C, and D. Thesample size may impact interpretation of results. For example, in Appendix D, there weresignificantly fewer students in the summer than in fall and spring semesters.Performance levels may be divided into three to six point scales and given labels such as basic-proficient-advanced. In this paper, PIs were assessed on a scale of 1-4. Others have effectivelyassessed PIs on a scale of 1-3, further simplifying the assessment process [6].

In 2014, individuals came together for an initial three-day CIT-E workshop. Prior tothe workshop, participants met regularly through webinars to discuss the shared vision for CIT-Eand to understand participants’ needs for materials and resources. The 2014 summer workshopincluded an idea exchange poster session where members shared their current or proposedinfrastructure course models and solicited feedback and questions

Measurements were taken in an annulus arrangement. A diagram of thisarrangement can be seen in Figure 5. The cross section of the pipe was divided into three areas;A, B, and C. Within each area, four different measurements were taken at positions 1, 2, 3, and4. In the center area, C, only one measurement was taken because this was the point where allfour points converged. The velocities obtained from the hot film anemometer were thentranslated into volume flow rates using the area of each annulus in which the measurements weretaken. Figure 5 Annulus

Each critique was individually coded according to the rubric. If there was anydoubt regarding the appropriate coding of a response, the response was evaluated by both authorsand consensus was achieved for the response in question. Example student responsesrepresenting each score for each coding category are given in Appendix B. These serve asrepresentative responses that received each score, although some categories must be scoredbased on a holistic reading of the response in order to determine if they understand why eachstep is important.

A 'chilly' climatehas often been implicated as a primary or contributing reason for these exit decisions and hasbeen classified in the literature under such descriptors as a hostile or macho work culture,mysterious pathways to career advancement, and extreme work pressures. This study expands onthese previous studies by (a) emphasizing the engineering workplace experiences of millennialsin order to understand whether these chilly climate conditions have evolved over time or aretending to persist into the next generation; and (b) studying men as well as women to gain deeperinsight into which negative working conditions tend to occur across gender and which may begender
