emphasis in industry and research laboratories is to more tightly couple test-ing and simulation-using test results to validate simulation models and simulation results to designexperiments. For example, finite element analysis is used to identify how best to support and excitea structure to produce a particular vibration, and modal test results are used to establish “modalassurance criteria” on finite element simulations. This paper presents two laboratory exerciscs that demonstrate the importance of couplingcomputer simulations with experiments for mutual validation.

In reflection, the educational value of thisexperience may improve if the first submission were a draft that received feedback from thefaculty team and was offered a chance for revision. For the initial offering, because we wantedto simulate a “real-world” exercise, the additional chance for improvement was not included andthe student who made comments expressing an interest in providing revisions was reminded thatthere are not second chances for poorly written and presented proposals in industry.While simulating the “real-world” has value, the feedback received from CE students

Much of the extant research and theoryassociated with ethics in engineering education relies on scenario-based and hypotheticalassessments.1,2 Much scholarship and content of trade publications also relies on professionalcodes of ethics that provide broad considerations of behaviors that would be right or wrong andof appropriate uses of disciplinary expertise. Students often find these teaching and learning toolsto be

There are numerous efforts integrated in this plan including aninnovative, educational, web-based scanning electron microscope that has been usedacross the globe.This paper will describe the presentation and the supplies needed for it. The paper willalso detail the extensive outreach program in the department that has grown during thissame period. A scanning electron microscope featuring web access for K-12 partners is aunique feature of this program. K-12 teachers are given training on the use of themicroscope and then create lessons that they use in their classrooms with
tools from Cosmic Software and Ashling. This will givestudents an edge as the tool learning curve is much shorter. These Windows-based toolswill allow for better evaluation of operating robot time constraints and result in a higherperformance software design. Their cost however, is more than an order of magnitudegreater. Regardless of the tools used, the student educational experience can be asuccess. Page 4.227.15References1.

Pre-EntryAttributes on Goals and Commitments (Pre) prior to joining the university. Goals andCommitments lead students to choose AE and subsequently drop it. While Tinto (1993)developed this framework for students dropping out of college, it has been widely used as aframework to understand why students leave STEM (e.g. 16, 17). Due to the similarities withleavers/persisters we used the framework to understand migrators. Understanding this aspectof the framework and how it evolves will lead to a better understanding to why studentsmigrate to other STEM majors.The report by U.S. Department of Education (2014) highlight Pre-Entry attributes such asfamily background (women, minoritized people, first generation individual, low incomebackground
