The prerequisites for thermodynamics are: Calculuslll (Math 210) and Dynamics (ENGR 211). Both dynamics and thermodynamics are core engi-neering courses that form the middle of an engineering sciences sequence at HSU. These coursesare typically taken at the end of the second year (dynamics) and the beginning of the third year(thermodynamics) by students in the environmental resources engineering major.The Fall 2019 dynamics course had a population of 24 students, the thermodynamic course had apopulation of 30 students, and the Spring 2020 dynamics course had a population of 32

Several studies have documented how LGBTQ STEM students experiencethe climate in stem as heteronormative and cisnormative [6, 15, 16], meaning that beingheterosexual and cisgender are taken for granted and expected within

One institution hosted a half-day outreach event that paired undergraduate “mentors” with local high school girls who hadpreviously participated in a middle school camp sponsored by the department. Among theactivities, the girls provided quality control assessments for video games that seniorundergraduates had developed, and discussed their college goals with their undergraduatecounterparts.Another common strategy used by these institutions was to use “ambassadors” – undergraduatestudents or faculty members who act as representatives of the department or engineering collegein designing and conducting recruiting activities.

ConclusionsThe primary objective of this project was to analyze how well the grayscale thresholding methodcan evaluate porosity in a thermal barrier coating. It was found that the MATLAB software wasable to estimate porosity within about 0.5 %. The knowledge gained from this image processmethod should be able lead to a greater understanding, and eventually an increase in the lifecycle durability of the coating, and how porosity affects that durability too.6. Future worksA downside to this system is that the program takes significantly longer to analyze large images.The ideal solution to this problem would be to design the system in a way which breaks

However, for most of the teaching onlypositions in colleges, the promotion and salary increase are based on the student's evaluation ofProfessor's effective teaching.For the student's evaluation system to be an effective one, it should serve both the purpose of faculty'spromotion and the course improvement. Anyways, there is no proven method available for use to justifythat the student's evaluations are good enough to consider 100% for the course improvement or for theProfessor's promotion or salary decisions.

This tool was developed over a three yearperiod of teaching engineering courses at Auburn University.INTRODUCTIONA search of the literature and presentations at education conferences turns up many referencesconcerning teaching and learning styles. As educators, these are vital areas in which we must betrained. There is much of value for us in these subject areas. Our students may not appreciate ourpreparedness, but if they learn, we will have succeeded in our charge to educate them.In the proceedings of the 1996 ASEE Conference, for instance, there were papers dealing with avariety of topics, such as new faculty orientations1, with the
