-scale, axial flux wind turbine-generator. Anaxial wind turbine is easy to build, fun to learn and cost effective system designed using inalmost any windy location in the world. Two students at the University of Northern Iowa (UNI)enrolled in a Bachelors of Science in the Electrical and Information Engineering Technology(EIET) major, have spent many hours researching various wind turbines. The subject matterpresented in this paper are (1) design and build a cost effective 0.5 kW wind turbine capable ofproducing 12-48 V direct current (DC), (2) build two wind turbines with different configurations,(3) build a traveling display that can be taken to remote locations and educate anyone withquestions, and (4) experiment with variable loads and blade

Further, during information-gathering, femalestudents were more likely to desire information about users and surroundings while malestudents were more likely to desire information about budget and costs. In a more recent study,female students exhibited a client-centered focus during a short design activity, while malestudents were more likely to discuss technical limitations and provide evaluations15. Thesefindings suggest possible differences in the way engineering students frame design problems andsuggest that male and female students may identify different solutions to similar problems. Wefound no studies, however, that directly investigated gender differences during idea generation

Lecture 13 provided an introduction to the importanceof ethical and cultural issues in engineering in general, and the specific issues introducedby technological innovation. The IEEE code of ethics14 was used as the ethicalframework for this discussion. This was followed two weeks later (Lecture 15) with abrainstorming session during which students were divided into groups and asked to listthe great engineering achievements that they expected to see in the next 100 years.

Interviews were semi-structured, and consisted of open-endedquestions. Transcripts were coded to identify general and unique themes that resulted in fourassertions. These low-SES first-generation students were influenced to pursue engineering studyby 1) elements of engineering experienced in informal learning settings; 2) their self-identifiedattributes and interests and their advanced skills; 3) their understanding of the image of the

In general, ICCs less than 0.40 arepoor, ICCs between 0.40 and 0.59 are fair, ICCs between 0.60 and 0.74 are good, and ICCsbetween 0.75 and 1.0 are excellent. Some caution must be used in interpreting the ICCs reportedhere mainly because only four reports were rated during each validation. However, the ICCs doprovide a general sense of how consistent the raters were within a category.

common to all university students. Technicalcommunication is one of the most relevant and utilized across disciplines. Technical andprofessional communication genres and strategies are defined by their context and purpose in theworkplace (Hart-Davidson, 2001). Engineering students who understand how technicalcommunication works and deploy its strategies typically add three kinds of value to a technicalproject by effectively 1) designing documents that convey information in usable forms, 2)working with and refining collaborative practices to maximize collaborative output, and 3)recognizing patterns and structures across specific problems or projects as well as providingstrategic thinking that can productively impact large systems and data sets

Undergraduate engineeringstudents, particularly women, people of color, and individuals with disabilities, are oftenmotivated by these sociotechnical challenges to pursue engineering. However, technical learningand social issues are frequently separated in current forms of undergraduate engineeringeducation, and engineering students may learn to devalue social aspects of engineering as aresult. Integrating social issues, such as issues of equity, diversity, inclusion, and justice, into anengineering education may privilege the experiential knowledge of a wider set of students andempower a new generation of engineers to address pressing sociotechnical issues.
