programs were created with universities for non-faculty led study abroad and research, and internships with companies. Other locations in Asia,Africa, New Zealand and Australia were expanded throughout reciprocal exchange agreementsfor semester stays and internships/service programs in those locations were identified as well.Figure B shows the participation of students divided in three regions: the Americas, Europe andAfrica/Asia/Australia/Pacific and the Middle East. Europe is still the favorite location for studyabroad, but the WCOE has grown participation in Central and South America by 300% from2013-2016 and a 1000% growth is expected from 2013-2017. The latter is a response to the factthat 87% of the internships offered abroad in 2017 are in
) education. Afterpilot classes were developed, in 1998 the FC curriculum was implemented college-wide. In2003, the university adopted a track system with the FYE foundational courses separated intothree tracks: Track A (aerospace, agricultural, biomedical, civil, industrial, mechanical, andnuclear engineering), Track B (computer and electrical engineering), and Track C (chemical andpetroleum engineering). Track A was primarily project-based and used Mindstorms, Legos,magnetic balls, and beams to build structures. Track B focused on circuit design and computerprogramming. Only Track C maintained the FC curriculum until 2013. The target population ofthis study is first-time-in-college (FTIC) chemical or petroleum engineering students who startedin
final report was based on Steffen Peuker and Raymond B. Landis’ “Design Your Process ofBecoming a World-Class Engineering Student” curriculum (Landis 2013, Peuker 2016). Thisreport was a compilation of the students’ previous writing assignments and newly writtenintroduction and conclusion sections. We gave the students the final project outline as well as areference table that showed the corresponding weekly assignment for each section (seeAppendix). This structure was copied from the Peuker and Landis curriculum and we presentedthis unique final project format to our students as a way to reinforce long-term goals (“Become aSuccessful Engineering Student”) and let them revisit their old work.3. ASSESSMENTOut instructional staff consisted of
higher levels of project performance through improved teamwork (Van Knippenberg,van Ginkel, & Homan, 2013). Two layers of diversity attributes were identified by researchers:(a) the surface level (e.g., age, gender, race, and physical disabilities; Mannix & Neale, 2005);and (b) the deep level (e.g., cognitive ability, personality traits, values, beliefs, and attitudes;Harrison, Price, Gavin, & Florey, 2002). However, the majority of studies on team diversity havefocused solely on surface-level attributes because deep-level diversity tends to be difficult tomeasure. The present study aims to explore micro-level patterns of behavior where effects ofdeep level diversity are manifested to create a collaborative environment and attenuate
calculatethe current flowing through the LED. The LED was changed to green and yellow to allow thestudents to determine the conducting voltages of various colored LEDs. (a) (b)Figure 2: (a) Resistive-LED Circuit, (b) Prototype of the Resistive Circuit(ii) Time-varying Signals and LEDsThe students performed an experiment on a circuit with LEDs, which is shown in Figure 3. Ifthe input voltage is a DC, only one of the LEDs turns on. However, if a sinusoidal or a squarewaveform is used as the input, the LEDs will alternately turn on and off. This experiment isuseful in allowing the students to learn the differences between direct current and alternatingcurrent signals

While seminar goals aligned with the goals ofLA programs nationally, our seminar design team also articulated several values which guidedthe design of our seminar: a) helping LAs reframe their role as supporting growth rather thanevaluation, b) valuing a broad set of metrics of success from day one, c) celebrating that differentstudents bring in different expertise, and disrupting overly simplistic expertise/novicedichotomies, d) acknowledging that we all have different starting points and valuing a pluralityof goals, e) helping our students track their own progress through reflecting on concreterepresentations of their thinking, and f) supporting LAs in developing deep disciplinaryknowledge of design thinking.

capabilities of Geomagic Studio were thenused to repair intersections, fill holes, and refine floating data and edges. The Select byCurvature command was employed to relax the structure while retaining detail. A NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) surface was created to finalize the mesh structure and export it as an.stl file. Once the 3D mesh is generated, the number of triangles comprising the mesh must bereduced in order to lower computing lag. MeshLab software was utilized to reduce the number oftriangles below 8,000. Autodesk Meshmixer allows for simple, yet detailed modification of .stlfiles through direct editing of a mesh geometry, a feature that is not available in SolidWorks.SolidWorks requires a subtraction command to generate the scanned
