Based on relevant retention andgraduation data collected in their study, they found that unmet financial needs play a significantrole in student retention and when mitigated, led to enhanced academic success 7.Our project was funded in 2015 by the NSF S-STEM program. The project has two goals. Thefirst goal is to provide S-STEM scholarship support for academically-talented, financially-needyundergraduate students in two engineering departments at our university. These two engineeringdepartments include the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering (MAE) and theDepartment of Civil

testing to illustrate our iterative evidence-baseddevelopment process and offer results of an initial pilot study from across one semester ofstudent use. The perspective for this research is user-centered design and the theoreticalframework is chemistry problem solving as situated engineering practice.Design Challenge as Laboratory WorkUsing ABET’s Student Outcomes (criteria b), each Design Challenge involves a three-phaseformat and addresses one of the Grand Challenges that relate to general chemistry topics (Figure1). The Challenges are based upon the model-eliciting activities (MEA) format and emphasizegraphical representation and experimental design (Table 1). DCs are grounded in the principlesof MEA for engineering education [7]. Students
assess designthinking, 102 interviews with girls were videotaped across elementary and middle schoolprograms in two cities. The interviews called on youth to give a guided, narrative description oftheir work on a design project accomplished in their engineering-focused, girls-only afterschoolprogram. Interviews were augmented with programmatic observations, so the analysts couldtriangulate evidence from interviews with observations of girls engaged in the projects. Incollaboration with the curriculum development team, a rubric was developed to measure theextent to which girls communicated effective engineering design, specifically: a) understandingof the design challenge, b) evaluation of design strengths and weaknesses, and c) evidence
a design description,Figure 1 shows the FBS ontology. The goal of designing is to transform a set of functions, drivenby the client requirements (R), into a set of design descriptions (D). The function (F) of adesigned object is defined as its intended purpose or teleology; the behavior (B) of that object iseither derived (Bs) or expected (Be) from the structure, where structure (S) represents thecomponents of an object and their relationships.Designers decide which behaviors (B) are significant and needed to assess the designs theyproduce. So, B can be subdivided into two sub-categories: the behaviors the designer expects thedesign to have (Be) and those that are measured from the design (S) itself and called behaviorfrom structure (Bs

The coursecard is the mechanism we have developed in order to maintain consistency between course goals(alignment between course and student outcomes) and terminal learning objectives, as well asteaching and learning strategies that will be used to create course syllabi [7].b) The syllabus of the proposed course is adjusted after a collaborative review carried out by thefaculty members within the curricular area.

In thisexample, students in MC364 used a SOLIDWORKS model (Figure 4(a)) to discover theprinciple of superposition for stresses due to combined loading. To assist in student visualizationof the problem, students were provided with a 3D printed offset link (Figure 4(b)) that wasprinted using the SOLIDWORKS model. In addition to enhancing student engagement, thisprovided an opportunity to briefly discuss current 3D printing technology.

perception of STEM and their interest in life-sciences and themore caring/social improvement areas. The work on inclusive suggests the ideal situation is abalance of independence and teamwork, and individuality and inclusivity [53]. Perhaps, since webelieve learning is socio-cultural, if boys attend after-school STEM classes with girls thepercentages of boys who think girls belong in engineering could increase.References[1] J.

This also allows them to build rapport with the instructor aswell as the students enrolled in the section(s) they support. Leaders then hold two 80 minutesessions each week.
