The LeapMotion’s speed, ease of use, accuracy and price make it a competitive alternative to thegoniometer, a commonly used tool for angle measurement. The Leap Motion, a hand gesturetracking system was analyzed with respect to its angle measuring capabilities. Existing software,BREKEL Pro Hands® was used in conjunction with the Leap Motion® to generate an Excel®worksheet of hand data. These data were analyzed utilizing MATLAB® to calculate joint angles.The joint angle measurements were

Lewis, et al. [1]. In our implementation,we allowed student teams to choose from a bank of products and guided them through the fourphases of product archaeology (preparation, excavation, evaluation, and explanation). For theevaluation phase, each team developed and executed three or more qualitative experiments fortheir product. At the conclusion of the project, students wrote a report that addressed the fourphases of product archaeology, including the results of their quantitative experiments.

Biology and biomedicine are the only fields wherewomen students are in the majority, even at MS and PhD levels. Engineering/tech isparticularly male-dominated, followed closely by computer & info science, and thesefields account for higher-paying STEM jobs. Even though the focus in this section is on the US higher-education scene, itmight help to cite data from other advanced countries for comparison. Canadian figuresare similar (~34% of STEM degrees go to women), while the 53% figure for theEuropean Union is much better, although even for EU the percentage drops to ~19% inhigher-paying categories

several decades computational methods have increasingly played a central role inMaterials Science and Engineering (MSE) for characterizing structure, simulating processes andpredicting materials' response. To align with this shift, an MSE department at a researchuniversity in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region launched a curricular innovation to inculcate studentswith a basic facility with computational methods and to leverage computing proficiency toincrease student comprehension of core MSE concepts. In this study we investigate the impact ofthis curricular innovation on students’ (a) perceptions regarding the utility of integratingcomputation in their studies and their future careers; (b) perceptions regarding their own abilitiesto implement
