earthquake1). To address these problems,recent trends of research in structural engineering advocate the need for developing full-scaleexperimental testing programs (e.g., NSF NEES Sites) augmented by numerical studiespromoting models-based simulation. Sometimes testing of full-scale structural systems and/orcomponents is limited by the available resources and economics. Thus, in such situationsresearch studies utilizing small-scale models are attractive. In 2001, ASCE released a Report Card for America's Infrastructure, grading 12 infrastructurecategories at a discouraging D+ overall. In 2003, ASCE released a Progress Report thatexamined the current trends for addressing the nation's deteriorating infrastructure; ASCE didnot issue new grades

The field of biomedical engineering, which encompasses multipleengineering disciplines, is growing at a faster rate than most other STEM disciplines, and thus itseducation is demanding greater attention 1.

Because of this, manyprofessionals must work at home where electricity or internet connectivity issues may be moreprevalent than at their typical office. To address the need for a resilient power source for at-homeoffices, the team developed the atto-grid – a resilient power system that uses distributed powersources to safely and effectively power a typical at-home office load.The team designed the atto-grid for a senior design capstone project that complied withrequirements set by faculty, as well as

IntroductionWhile not obvious at first glance, the effectiveness of education is tied to the tools used by theinstructor. Instructors who only use the whiteboard and lecture notes may find it difficult to teachstudents certain concepts do not lend themselves well to these tools. Electrical wiring diagrams,for example, are easy enough to draw up and present to a class. But, while a teacher can draw avoltage source connected to a relay, this does not mean the students will actually be able to wireone. The issue of having students translate theoretical understanding into a physical outcome hasbeen addressed in a field of study called Educational Robotics. Since the 1970s, EducationalRobotics (ER) has been inspiring students to become more engaged with topics

The questionthis paper seeks to answer is why this opportunity was not taken?It is argued that the reasons for this lost opportunity to develop a new curriculum lie deep inthe culture that formed the values and beliefs of educational policy makers during theindustrial revolution. A divorce emerged between the academic and the practical in whichtraining for industry was not considered to be something that universities do. By the end ofthe nineteenth century a technical education sector had developed in spite of very poorsupport from industrialists. Some students in Polytechnics were able to pursue studies fordegrees of the University of London.The policy makers

toa collaborative design decision, so rather than pressing a student for more, I often gave the floorto one of the other students eagerly signaling they had something to say. In enabling more voicesto contribute, I may have been sacrificing opportunities to encourage individual students toreason carefully, refine the design ideas under consideration, and make progress toward acollaborative design decision.I was also concerned that students, with the exception of Flor, were becoming more focused onwhat not to include in the design. They seemed so far from achieving consensus on what to do.What I saw happening was that each time a student proposed a new strand of thinking about thedesign proposals, it was based on a negative criticism, a flaw

This three-step college decision model, posited by Hossler and Gallagher(1987), is a commonly cited college choice model in higher education literature [18], [19], [20],[21], [22]. While this framework simplifies the sequencing and timing of the college decisionprocess, other college choice theories expanded upon this initial understanding. In themid-1960s, Holland and Richards [23] posited four influential factors on college choice: 1)intellectual emphasis of the prospective campus; 2) practical concerns; 3) advice of others; and4) perceived social climate of the campus.

This introduces the idea of un-equal access to early STEM exposure and learning. Without incorporating data from the first twointerviews, it is impossible to say what level of access the participants had to STEM in middleand high school. However, it is a larger issue that has been demonstrated [32]. In some cases, as with Charlotte’s situation, this concern about task delegation was linkedto a perceived lack of knowledge or skill. Charlotte explained that she was excited to help withcertain aspects of the project, but perceived that other team members had more knowledge anddid not accept her input. When

Onthe other hand, PD considers the final user as a design partner who not only has the information,but also has, or can develop, the abilities to create next to the designer. In practice, thesemovements have been called in different ways, such as Interaction Design, Service Design, orTransformation Design, being this last related to “build on traditional design skills to addresssocial and economic issues” [16].
