occurs during interpretive research, we offerthe following reflections regarding our backgrounds, “conceptual baggage”13 and insights relatedto this research.Julie’s career vision is to be a national catalyst for increasing the diversity of students inengineering, and to help all students—particularly those who are underrepresented— achievetheir academic, professional and personal goals. She is a faculty member at a predominantlyWhite institution, where she has taught large-enrollment freshman and sophomore levelengineering courses. In her previous position at a diverse institution, she was the foundingwomen-in-engineering program director and director of recruitment and retention. Her studentaffairs and teaching experience, combined with her
. Despite this discovery, feedback questionnaires still record a high percentage ofdissatisfaction from students performing experiments in remote labs. Hence, there is the need foran effective learning approach which includes fun in other to sustain the interest of the student.Learning is made easier when fun or play is included in the process.This paper tries to answer two questions: how can engagement be induced amidst a group ofstudents collaborating together to perform an experiment on a remote lab; and how can thisinduced engagement create fun and hence improve the learning process?To achieve this aim, the “Solution-to-Question” Model was conceived, created from theapproach which is adopted in computer games. About 50% of the most played
contrast in academic preparedness between the two groups.Students at both schools participated in an in-class design project using Energy3D(http://energy.concord.org/energy3d/), a CAD simulation environment25. Energy3D is developedby the Concord Consortium as “a computer-aided engineering tool for designing, analyzing, andconstructing green buildings and power stations that utilize renewable energy”. The user-friendlysoftware works in a way that allows students to see the effects of each design and specificationsthey choose to their overall design specifics. It offers a simple 3D graphical user interface fordrawing buildings, and evaluating their performance using cost and energy (solar and heat)simulations (see Figure 1, below).Over the course of
facilities at Virginia Tech duringtheir stay, there has long been a desire among the coaches and mentors to have the studentsparticipate in an activity more directly related to engineering. This December the Virginia Techstudent section of the Society of Women Engineers (VT-SWE) provided the opportunity for thestudents to participate in a hands-on engineering program, Exploring Engineering Day.Attendance at the Exploring Engineering Day was expected to be more than 320, with 15 SWEmembers and an additional 10 non-SWE members as volunteers. Over the course of theafternoon event participants visited four engineering activity stations, highlighting AerospaceEngineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Ocean Engineering, emphasizingthe
those in the Louisiana state code. One big difference in thesociety codes and the state board codes is in the effect upon the individual engineer who violates it. Aviolation of a society code can result in the society dismissing an engineer as a member and publicizingsuch dismissal. A violation of the state board code can result in a loss of license as well as significantpenalty fees.Since they are more binding on the engineer, it would be ideal for us to analyze a registration code ofconduct. However, there is no national registration of engineering in the United States. Therefore, inorder to be relevant to as many engineers as possible, we will analyze the code of the National Societyof Professional Engineers (N.S.P.E.). This organization

while athome during the pandemic. Our initial research plan was to collect and analyze social media datato refine and improve the activities and programming and learn about the ways families engagedin the activities. We soon found that our videos got many views, “Likes” and other positivemetrics. To date, 23 of our videos have more than 1000 views, with the highest garnering 23Kviews. However, we got very few submissions of videos, images, or text about what familieswere creating, which limited our possible analyses. There was some participation and groupcontributions by members of the group when we started out but as the group grew in sizesubstantive evidence of participation, in the form of posted pictures of kids’ projects, comments,and

During thefollowing weeks, Fellows and faculty members interacted frequently to improve the lecturematerials and the methods of delivery and organized the parts and supplies for the hands-onactivities. Another important requirement was the delivery of content in Spanish for one sectionof middle school students that was a bilingual class. One Fellow with knowledge of Spanish,worked on translating the lecture material with assistance from a school teacher. The projectteam also created a pamphlet that provided useful, practical information about sustainabilitypractices including a crossword puzzle for students.The team visited local middle school in March and April 2022, working directly with over 125students over the course of the
propellers. The data used for the analysis of the performance of thedrone was the power drawn over the duration of each test. The results show a delay of less than 1second between the transition from the fuel cell power to battery power. Additionally, it was foundthat both fuel cell and battery supplied battery at the same time, but the latter was almost negligible.However, the battery effectively supplied the drone with almost the same amount of power as thefuel cell when hydrogen was exhausted. Finally, it was found that the battery system plays animportant role when the fuel cell is being turned on or off.Keywords Fuel Cell, Student Paper, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane, Light Detection and Ranging,and Lithium-Polymer Batteries
their college interests and majors.IntroductionNowadays, more scientists, engineers and innovators are needed to solve complex problems insociety and the environment. An increase in women entering STEM field would not onlyincrease the total number of STEM workers but would also increase gender diversity of theSTEM workforce. The ideas and focus arising from the more diverse STEM workforce mayenhance innovation and generate more sustainable processes that improve protection of theenvironment. Recruiting more women into STEM pathways requires quality STEM education.However, few American students pursue education and training in the STEM fields. Afternoticing this challenge, the whole STEM society has made great efforts to increase STEM-related
campuses. Theassociation gives the undergraduate research programs an intentionality and sensitivity to issuesaround diversity, and it gives all students in the College of Engineering visible access to theservices facilitated by CEOI. In addition, CEOI is well-positioned to promote undergraduateresearch programs to targeted populations, especially centrally-funded opportunities. Preliminaryevidence has indicated a positive effect on the number of underrepresented student participants,retention and graduation rates, as well as enrollment in graduate school.IntroductionParticipation in undergraduate research programs is a proven high impact strategy for increasingstudent retention and graduation rates, as well as the likelihood that undergraduate

Studiesshow that “informal science learning” may be more effective than traditional classroomlectures because students had the choice to attend and may feel more invested in theinformation [2]. Therefore, these events serve as a novel educational opportunity that mayhave a greater impact on students than the standard lectures they hear in class. Finally,following each of the seminars there is an open reception where anyone who attended the talkcan visit with other attendees and the seminar speaker themselves to ask questions, shareideas, and share contact information for future

recorded during e-a (before combustion) and b-h (aftercombustion). This is attributed to the fluctuations in the reference temperature used in the DAQBoard for cold junction compensation. Although the effect of this fluctuation on T determinedby the extrapolation technique used in this experiment has a second order influence, theaccuracy of temperature measurement can be further improved by using a stable and constanttemperature ice-point or by using a resistance temperature detector (RTD). Given the availabledata acquisition system’s analog voltage capabilities, a RTD would be best recommended in thissituation.AcknowledgementsThe work was performed under a program of studies funded by the Natural Sciences andEngineering Research Council, Canada
