Several modifications were madeto the student-submitted mini-lab. These alterations included: an expanded safety section tohighlight several safety considerations from the standpoint
analysis of products. My professional development at Kennametal over the past two summers has focused on analyzing both the static and fatigue properties associated with products during operation. Verification of results and generating technical analysis reports followed all completed analyses. Currently, I am working on a senior design project focused on the design and analysis of robotic end of arm tooling to help Kennametal automate a specific pick and place process in a manufacturing facility. I seek to attend graduate school to obtain a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering part time while working full time as a Mechanical Engineer.Dr. Christopher Charles Jobes P.E., Geneva College Dr. Jobes is a Professor of

Islanders.Our vision of a fully inclusive program includes students, faculty, and staff from all backgroundsfeeling comfortable and fully engaged in the educational process and having equal opportunitiesto be successful. We would like to see improvement in the recruitment and retention of the bestand brightest minds, regardless of sex, ethnic background, or sexual orientation, in our studentand faculty bodies. We envision a learning community that demonstrates its culture of inclusionthrough (i) providing training to the student body in cognitive empathy to foster a more inclusive learning environment (ii) encouraging more engaged participation from female and underrepresented students and faculty on extracurricular engineering

Egelhoff is currently Professor of Mechanical Engineering the United States Coast Guard Academy, where she has taught since 1997. She is a former practicing engineer in industry and a former Public School Educator. Her research focuses on: modeling blood flow in humans, developing computing tools for the design/manufacturing of semi-trailer frame rails, kinematics and dynamics of mechanisms and machines, learning from engineering disasters, and recruiting/retention of women and minorities into en- gineering. She earned a B.A. in Education from the
mechatronics focuson embedded systems [10] or electrical engineering education [11, 12]. Other efforts havediscussed the use of making in design education, in which the Arduino is one enablingcomponent [13, 14]. Finally, some capstone design courses have begun using the Arduino as anenabling component [15, 16]. This work has connections to much of the existing work onArduino for design, but differs in that it targets students in a sophomore-level class instead of thetypical senior-level implementations.This paper is organized as follows. First, a description of the course is provided along with aglimpse into the curriculum structure and student backgrounds.

It is therefore notsurprising that new canvases were created to explore other arenas of business in more detail suchas product-market fit, product design, service, training, and manufacturing. Other canvases haveeven extended outside of business to areas such as self-improvement and education (seewww.canvanizer.com).Given the growing popularity of the development and use of canvases, it is important tounderstand the allure and begin to evaluate them through a more thoughtful approach. To begin,a canvas is more than a framework. It is a one-page visual tool. Unlike writing, whichnecessarily lays out information sequentially, a visual representation enables, and evenencourages, non

With the hope ofdeveloping engineers who can lead within today’s engineering domain, educational programsshould develop a curriculum that stresses the importance of integration of task and peopleorientations for leaders. Further understanding of engineering leadership allows for academia andindustry to ensure they are creating leaders who are prepared for the work of engineering. Thisstudy adds to the literature seeking to define engineering leadership to better align industrytraining and educational initiatives for leader development. Some limitations of the study includesmall sample size and the selection of engineers who were alumni from a leadership minor.
