A unanimousrecommendation was to include more “hands-on” activities that the teachers can take back totheir students. This transfer of information will allow their students to do more “hands-on”,problem-based learning such as drawing the flow diagrams with the computer and to performmore experiments related to the chemical processes. During the course, the teachers understoodthe basic concepts taught in a simplified manner as indicated by the questions asked during theirinteraction with the faculty. At the end of the course, the teachers were asked to

Social capital plays animportant role in education because a student's social relationships and networks cansignificantly impact their educational achievement. For example, having friends to study withcan lead to success in school, resulting in improved grades, test scores, and overall academicperformance [18]. Social capital is crucial for engineering students because it not only enhancestheir educational experience but also provides a foundation for personal and professional growthin the engineering field [19]. Studying with friends fosters a collaborative learning environmentthat goes

Indeed, during the first five years of the project, the university admissions staff was noteven involved with SotR. PNW students simply focused on what they knew best; how to havefun with STEM while hanging out with their friends, acting as peer mentors to younger students,and learning from their own mentors. They knew this would allow them to get the word outabout all of the STEM-related activities (such as race competitions) that many high schoolstudents were not aware fell under the STEM umbrella. While doing so, they served as unofficialuniversity ambassadors, representing the possibilities available to PNW
cultural meanings associated with the profession. Understanding thesecultural nuances is key to understanding who enters the field and the perceptions of students asthey enter our classrooms.IntroductionWhen you think of an engineer, what is the first image that comes to mind? Is it a man in a hardhat standing over a set of engineering drawings, a computer programmer, or a solitary personworking on math problems? Whatever the image may be, it has likely been shaped by theportrayals of engineers within popular media. From Dilbert to Howard Wolowitz to Tony Stark,depictions of engineers cultivated in popular media reinforce cultural narratives about whatengineers do and who engineers are. These narratives impact not only public perceptions
engineer’s career builds off oftheir experiences, skills learned, and relationships made. It is common for an engineer to movepositions almost yearly so that s/he can gain valuable skill sets in his/her early years at acompany. From each new team, the engineer learns what they enjoy and whom they enjoyworking with. Each of these experiences plays an important role in where the engineer movesnext. Companies want to invest time and money in employees that are hard workers and get jobsdone efficiently and effectively. By succeeding in a certain position, a person can set themselvesup well for their next project.Figure. 3.

We learned from one of our collaborators, an assistant professor in computerscience, about how hackathons are used in the fields of computer science and engineering toharness collective energy to rapidly creative innovative prototypes. Like many other areas ofcomputer science and engineering, women are underrepresented as participants in hackathons.Although there is little literature that exists that examines the culture of hackathons, anecdotally
/ethnically diverse group of women worked across different socialand professional identities to organize a workshop for early-career women faculty in Engineeringand Computer Science. Through participatory action research, we elucidate the social dynamicsand power relations involved in forming a coherent group identity, and the boundaries we buildand breach to advance a social/intellectual movement aimed at broadening participation inengineering disciplines. We illuminate the strategies of organizers to provide guidelines forothers who work across, with, and through various dimensions of difference in social, political,professional, and cultural identities.IntroductionIncreasing and expanding diversity in engineering and computer science has long been

Experiment #3: COMPACT DISC (CD) WRITE & RE-WRITABLE SYSTEMS47 Compact disc technology is ubiquitous, found in computers, digital cameras, etc, as wellas its descendents as mini-discs and as DVDs(digital video discs). The challenge for a labexperiment is to relate aspects of chemical engineering to the heart of CD technology, which isinformation storage and retrieval. The direction chosen here is to carry out transient energybalances on various aspects of CD recording, erasing, and reading, i.e., on the phase or dyetransformations which are the basis for CD information recording, erasing and retrieval. Through performing experiments with a CD “burner”, students learn that: A CD is read with a

retention rates of the students are directly related to their overall successand graduation rates, and 2) early contact with students/potential students increases therecruitment and retention efforts, especially for STEM disciplines.Core curriculum courses offer a unique opportunity to reach out and contact students withoutadding credit hours to their degree requirements. For the students that have already selected anAEC major, it accomplishes the proven effect of “early contact.” Since the core curriculumclasses are open to all majors at a university, it also provides a venue to recruit new majors byproviding a different perspective. The idea here is to offer a course based on an AEC perspectiveto address core learning objectives such as critical

Based on this methodology,a multidimensional design process for modern engineering applications is presented, enabling aneffective harnessing of technological advancements toward actual needs and expectations ofdiverse customers’ group. To verify the proposed methodology, a case-study depicting the electric power gridmodernization journey toward Smart Grids is presented. Smart grids represent electric power gridsevolution into more sustainable systems with high integration between customer-utility [7]. Basedon the proposed holistic engineering design process, a successful modernization journey can bedesigned featuring strong common

They are not aware that therewill be an exam after most of their engineering courses are completed but before they graduatenor that this exam is discipline specific for any of the following areas: Chemical, Civil,Electrical and Computer, Environmental, Industrial and Systems, Mechanical, and OtherDisciplines. The “Other Disciplines” exam is the target for students with the A.S. EngineeringTechnology degree.

There are reports of some cases during the pandemic where universities were able to shiplab kits to students (e.g., circuit kits for EE classes); however, this approach may be impracticalfor schools with limited funding and when the nature of the engineering subject matter prohibitsthe use of a kit. If only we could ship full-scale wind tunnels to students, right?So what options are there for students in traditional mechanical engineering courses to benefit frommeaningful hands-on activities that can be completed at home?
