While the function development was directed atthe applied thermodynamics course, which is commonly taught early in the undergraduatemechanical engineering curriculum, the functions are excellent tools for upper-level electivessuch as HVAC, internal combustion engines, thermal systems design, and turbomachinery.IntroductionLearning with a combination of a textbook and a software package is a contemporaryengineering-thermodynamics pedagogy. Many software tools are available for evaluatingthermodynamic properties of engineering fluids. Many of these software tools are proprietarypackages sold by textbook publishers, such as “Interactive Thermodynamics: IT” [1

calls attention to the negative impacts of left-of-center grading on femaleengineering students. We define left-of-center grading as a specific norm-referenced (i.e.,curved) grading practice where the exam median grade is below 50%. We interviewed 83engineering students, faculty, and professionals about their perceptions of left-of-center grading.Our results indicate that left-of-center grading is common in the engineering curriculum, with allbut three participants reporting direct experience with the practice, and that female students aresignificantly more likely than their male peers to find the practice discouraging. While manyparticipants stated that left-of-center grading motivates and challenges students, they overallcited more cons than

form of observing other students in class, working with students ongroup projects, and being able to see their grades along with the grades of their classmates. I feel like this is something that a lot of classes or professors or the curriculum science and engineering do: they are trying to weed out people because they have this idea of a model student who was born with the ability to understand math and science but it's difficult to fight against that current. I got really lucky when I was in community college that I found professors that pushed me and that actually guided me. I was struggling but they were supporting me to have a better understanding. It's not that they were holding my hand, I had to

SessionsTraditional freshman orientation sessions are designed to facilitate student transitions to collegeby providing information about student resources, college and department services, institutionalpolicies, advising, course selection, technology, and an introduction to physical facilities such asmakerspaces and labs. Studies suggest that well-designed freshman orientations can have apositive impact on students including improved student retention, persistence and academicsuccess [1] – [8]. In addition, orientation programs have been shown to lead to strong personalconnections between students and facilitate their overall social development [1] [6] [9] [10].More specifically, Gentry et al (2006) found that students who participate in orientation
have identified peer adviceas more valued by students than advice from formal sources.7 Students are, in some sense, morequalified than formal sources to give advice to undergraduate science, technology, engineering,and mathematics (STEM) students. Many counselors and advisors were not STEM studentsduring their undergraduate program. Faculty, while more often STEM students asundergraduates, are likely to have been elite students, who underestimate the challenges facingthe average student.The advice expressed by our 185 interviewees, most of whom are upper division, derives fromtheir actual lived experiences, reflecting on the challenges they have faced in the context ofsuccessfully negotiating an engineering curriculum.

Researchers have devised ways to measure self-efficacy in engineeringstudents14 and have successfully conducted interventions that have increased self-efficacy levelsof female engineering students.15 These interventions have increased self-efficacy by engagingfemale engineering students in mastery-orientated classes15 and curriculum design.20 A mastery-orientated classroom emphasizes learning new skills by focusing on the processes they involve.For example, Baker and colleagues, 2007, developed a course that embedded “tinkering”activities and applied technical skills.

andfemale graduation rates of engineering graduates remains disproportionate compared to otherdegrees awarded [5].Exposing students to chemical engineering concepts prior to major selection is critical inrecruiting students to the field of chemical engineering. There are several factors that we knowinfluence STEM major selection including: students’ interest in STEM disciplines [6], students’confidence levels in science and mathematics coursework [7], and familial influences [6,7,8].Because URM students are likely to have disproportionate familial exposure, it is important toexpose students to engineering in their formal education. As stated by Kauffman, et al. [6], “wemust be sure that students are presented with a positive image of STEM careers
this training. As further evidence of this curricular need, this topic has been discussedby only a few recent studies5-7.One way to address this is to infuse courses with statistics and DOE components – not full-blowntraining in all of the techniques available, but rather an introduction to the common “tools of thetrade”. Logical places would be to interject these components in either a manufacturingprocesses course or an experiential learning environment. According to Lin et al.8, injectionmolding is one potential avenue that can be used for such curricular development, as it lendsitself to formal hands-on laboratory experiences.Injection MoldingIn fact, injection molding in educational settings has been discussed by several authors
.”Across different academic content areas, researchers and practitioners alike (Goldman et al.,2016; Osborne, Simon, Christodoulou, Howell-Richardson, & Richardson, 2013) agree thatargumentation is a promising approach for engaging students in epistemic practices. By usingargumentation to frame activities, K-12 teachers avoid “final form” instruction (Duschl, 1990),where concepts and findings are presented as unquestionable facts or formulas that lack thecontext of the history of their conception. Contrary to this typical epistemic culture, students whotake part in argumentation can construct and validate claims, establish the relationship between
solving approaches employed by students, academics and practicing professionals in anattempt to determine if students are developing the necessary skills to tackle ill-structuredproblems. To accomplish this, an ill-structured problem is developed, which will later be used todetermine, based on analysis of oral and written responses of participants in semi-structuredinterviews, attributes of the gap between student, faculty, and professional approaches to ill-structured problem solving. Based on the results of this analysis, we will identify what pedagogicalapproaches may limit and help students’ abilities to develop fully-formed solutions to ill-structuredproblems.This project is currently ongoing.

The rationale for the development of this 3-credit,graduate-level course included two arguments: (1) to provide practicing technology teachers withan opportunity to build their knowledge of usability and technology assessment; and (2) to pilotthe delivery of an online graduate course. Since the fall of 2000, this course has been offered100% online to on- and off-campus students using the Blackboard
