hardware design of the proposed laboratory has focused on cost-effectiveness and reliability,as well as providing realistic but safe setup. The hardware setup is designed so that the studentscan perform various control tasks without any modification.1. MachinesIn this laboratory, two machines, brushed DC (DC) machine (BDD-36-49-12.0V-6630, AnaheimAutomation) 6 and brushless DC (BLDC) machine (BLY171S-24V-4000, Anaheim Automation) 7 ,have been selected; they are widely used motor types for various applications and available insmall sizes. Both machines were mounted on an aluminum plate and coupled using flexible shaftcouplers in motor-generator set fashion. The motor mounts were built by in-house machine shop.The DC machine can be operated by

proud.IntroductionWomen in engineering programsLiterature on student population in STEM disciplines in general, and in engineering in particularshows that women are still underrepresented. Despite an increase of the women student populationin engineering programs in the US during the past decades, the percentage of female engineeringstudents remains low, 18 percent to 20 percent only.1 Research shows that female engineeringstudents perform as well as men, however, they have a higher percentage of dropping out ofengineering and changing major than male students. The most commonly cited reason is that theybelieve they do not have the skills or they do not fit in engineering. Similarly, women are alsounderrepresented in leadership positions in STEM departments in

authors of this paper did not have access to any information that couldidentify a faculty member as non-binary. Possible course combinations for any given cohort ofstudents were generated using the traditional four-year sequence listed in the student handbookalong with pre-approved electives and concentrations. In the program examined, students arerequired to select two concentrations. These concentrations determine the course path for a givenstudent. A total of nine concentration combinations (Table 1) met the requirements of the study.These combinations were used to generate course paths which were then cross-referenced withthe table of instructors resulting in a maximum and minimum value for time spent with femalefaculty.

These courses are commonly required across multipleengineering disciplines and serve as pre-requisites to higher-level courses.

We collected monthlyreports from each cohort during the semester(s) where they were taking an intrapreneurshipcourse that required turning in the monthly reports as an assignment. Additionally, we gatheredthank you notes from the students who sent the notes to their mentors and were also willing toshare the thank you notes with us. We then used the following discourse analysis methods. 1. Open coding [8], [9], [10] was conducted to comb through the thank you notes and the mentoring reports.

Test anxiety is generally defined as “the set of phenomenological, physiological, andbehavioral responses that accompany concern about possible negative consequences or failure onan exam or similar evaluative situation” [24, p. 17]. It is a multidimensional construct and one ofthe motivational/affective components of SRL [1]. In the MSLQ, text anxiety scale consists oftwo components: worry and emotionality; The worry component is defined as negative ideas andthoughts that disrupt students’ performance while the emotionality component refers tophysiological responses to anxiety [5]. Several empirical study findings showed the negative effects of test anxiety on academicperformance in general academic settings [25] - [27]. In engineering

-changing technical fields. Current approaches to engineering education aregenerally the same as those employed during the last century and date back to the early1940’s1. A recent study by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)identified current features of US engineering education that are ineffective with a focus onmechanical engineering2. The most significant shortcomings were internship experiences,a general system-level design perspective, a knowledge of engineering standards andcodes, problem solving skills, written and oral communication skills, and projectmanagement skills. To close the gap between current engineering education practices andthose identified changes, ASME recommended the following actions for curricular change
