OPERATORSDefinition of Rotation Operator The notations used in the equations are as follows: bold letters represent vectors, adouble arrow on the top of a letter indicates a dyad or dyadic. A pair of vectors written in adefinite order, such as ij, is called dyad and a linear combination of dyads is known as a dyadic.Now, consider that a position vector r is rotated with respect to vector n by angle β to r’. Theangle β is measured in the plane perpendicular to n, containing the ends of vectors r and r’ inthat plane as shown in Fig. 1. Let a be a vector with the direction of n and the magnitude of thecomponent of r along n, so that 𝐚𝐚 = 𝐧𝐧 ( 𝐫𝐫 ∙ 𝐧𝐧 )Let b and c be vectors in the circular plane, which is the top view of Fig. 1a looking

While the overall
innovations are beyond the scope of thiswork, but a significant literature can be found (e.g., [8, 9]).Textbook reading rates for this course have been discussed previously [10-12]. Specifically, highreading rates – median reading rates greater than 90% - have been observed [11], while limiteddata over recent decades show significantly less reading for traditional textbooks [10, 12, 13].While reading rates were reproducibly high for two previous cohorts, several other findings arealso of note. While interactive textbook reading is an effort-based activity and grade, statisticallysignificantly higher reader rates were observed for students earning A and B grades in the coursecompared to C, D, and F cohort [10]. In addition, interactivity allows the

Description of Homework Systems: In Fall 2017, the homework system changed compared to Spring2017. The instructional team developed new homework problems, and a common homework template(example shown in Figure 6 at the end of the paper). The template included an instructor-providedproblem statement and problem illustration. The student had specific places on the page to: a) gatherinformation (givens and unknowns), b) organize their approach, c) sketch the system, d) analyze theproblem symbolically, e) solve the problem with numbers, f) report final

Thestudents then 3D print their parts using the Maker’s Lab at Cline Library NAU. With thephysical components, the students reconstruct their assembly and reflect upon the final products’form, fit, and function. For example, if the assembly is the sliding shelf, the students’ shouldhave designed for a clearance fit and the shelves should successfully slide within the cabinet.Students are also expected to comment on the effectiveness of their tolerances given.

Some of these issues have been identified in broader STEM studies as few studies onfemale faculty of color experiences in engineering and computing fields exist. Therefore, thisstudy serves as the first step in the development of comprehensive survey tool for a more in-depth analysis of the current state of the workplace climate for female faculty of color inengineering and computing. An in-depth understanding of the climate and associated issues willaid in the development of measures aimed at offering a better climate so that female faculty ofcolor in engineering and computing can thrive in their careers.References[1] C.

a result, there is a need for increased knowledge of business-related topics as well as a business perspective. Further, there is an increased need to be able to communicate and navigate the “business culture and environment” of the company. This topical area had the most bullet points from the discussions. 2. Engineering skills. There was an extensive list of desired skills or abilities. The most prominent were: a. Hands-on, “technician-like” skills including integration, testing, and knowing the limits of hardware. b. Communication skills, especially documentation and producing written procedures.

this course was designed to span the entire duration of the class. Thus,our primary expected outcome is an increase in appreciation for the manner in which droneengineering can be directed toward social good, in particular, and a broader appreciation for thefact that engineering, in general, can also be directed to social good. We expect that continuediterations of this course will increase the students’ understanding of how to align engineeringwork with social good and will also lead to increased enrollment and retention in engineeringprograms.Benefits to Historically Underrepresented StudentsA key long-term goal of our course is an increase in the recruitment and retention of female,Black, and Latinx students in our university’s

have a much better outcome than if I say, ‘You need to do A, B, C,and D.’” She identifies that she had made some modifications based on youth needs. For instance,she gives additional time for investigating mirrors because the youth had not experienced aperiscope before, and she feels they need more time to explore. She also spends less timeexplaining the EDP because participating 8th grade youth have had a lot of experience with it.She views herself more as an “observer” than a director of learning with this group; she does notfeel like she needs to ask a lot of probing questions because the youth are engaged andinvestigating on their own. The educator believes in offering a lot of praise and encouragement to the youth, andfeels
uniquestructure recognizes that early career design is beneficial for students. All ABET-accrediteduniversities maintain a design requirement per ABET learning outcomes B and C for the 2018-2019 requirements [1]. However, our emphasis on design is focused to obtain early engineeringprinciples such as hands-on understanding of force, energy and motion. We believe that thesethree principles are one of the most significant topics to cover at an early stage, as instruction inthese areas can lay the foreground to higher levels of Mechanical Engineering concepts such asstress, strain, tension, torsion, and more - all of which are implemented in the upper-level designcourses at NMT.Course Structure RedesignThe introduction to Mechanical Engineering course was
