technology graduates1. Specifically, the referenced surveyindicates that employers want graduates with a working knowledge of data acquisition, analysisand interpretation; an ability to formulate a range of alternative problem solutions; and computerliteracy specific to their profession. Additionally, potential employers of our EET graduates arein the automated manufacturing and testing sector of the industry; and that motivated the creationof an instrumentation and data acquisition course2 based on a thorough review of experiment-based data acquisition-supported instrumentation courses at other institutions3-6. This three-credit course meets for two one-hour lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. Thedistinction between lecture and
-symmetric reversed loading withdifferent magnitudes applied to an array of cantilever beams. Several scenarios using beamswith different lengths, sections, stress concentrations, and materials are proposed fordestructive/fatigue failure testing. Other specimen with interesting features may be easily addedto the package if desired. The time factor for conducting fatigue testing in an educationalenvironment has been incorporated in the design process. Availability of the blueprints of allcomponents of the robust apparatus, its cost effectiveness, ease of manufacture, and a proposedoutline of the experiment make it an ideal addition to the archives of experiments inundergraduate engineering programs.

learning as an acquisition and integration process, thisis further reinforced when the concept of a spiral curriculum is also considered. Kolb (2000) in his Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) highlights the necessity ofcyclical instruction. ELT divides the learning cycle in to four phases: experiencing, reflecting,thinking, and acting. As a model for education, this process is both planned (formatted) andresponsive to the situation and content/skills being learned: activities are structured and plannedbut flexible to include individual. The cyclical nature of ELT supports this project in thenecessity of revisiting concepts at various points, over time to solidify and deepen a learner’sknowledge or concept acquisition and mastery

Moving between convergent and divergent thinking, these teams would suggestmodifications for the current products, they would provide reasons and possibilities from a broadaspect of the product perspective. This included usage, user perspective, engineeringpossibilities, material and manufacturing possibilities, future product sketches, and eventuallyyielded rich and qualitatively better product specifications 32.The collaborative back-and-forth requires taking
outcomes result from the salience of multiple conflicting identities.Specifically, Settles showed how women in science face difficulties that have lasting“psychological and performance consequences” because of their conflicting woman and scientistidentities (p. 496). Similarly, Carlone and Johnson (2007) highlighted the lack of recognition forWOC scientists who succeeded despite a disruption to the science identity development.Therefore, the intersectionality framework allows us to consider how WOC make meaning oftheir experiences that may promote or hinder the integration of their racial and engineeringidentity dimensions.Furthermore, not all TUM populations have equivalent experiences in engineering education.Intersectionality is necessary to
develop an attachment to the engineering department space, to be a showcase for theprogram, and to provide a 24/7 informal learning space when not being used by classes.Assessment of the space shows that it is pleasant and well-liked by both students and faculty andis working well for teaching a range of classes.At Michigan State University, a more comprehensive approach to first-year engineering wasestablished in 2008 which integrated cornerstone courses, an engineering living-learningresidence hall, computer labs, and a project work space.11,12,13 Similar to NortheasternUniversity, Michigan State’s enrollment is comparable in size (about 700+ first-year engineeringstudents each fall).

Theconcern that emerges from Macmurray’s philosophy is that over time focusing programs on thescientific mode of reflections will limit their ability to work towards their own ends.Predominance of Scientific/Pragmatic RepresentationsRelated to the above concern ABET strongly leans towards the scientific mode of reflection atthe expense of the personal and artistic. This may be because engineering is seen to be apragmatic discipline that had its founding in the integration of science-based processes toAmerican industry. Never-the-less the focus on this mode

Student designs will comply with a realistic level of engineering codes and standards and shall include considerations such as environment, economics, manufacturability, sustainability, health and safety.There are a variety of options when it comes to teaching both design process and the actualcapstone course(s).5 Some schools have a separate course in design methods.6, 7, 8, 9 This wouldthen be followed by either a one or two semester capstone course. Other schools integrate theinstruction in design methods or processes into the one or two semester capstone experience.10As previously mentioned, this may be the first time that students have been exposed to a
interplay of personal and institutionalvalues, and how they were revealed within the experiences of engineering graduate students.Institutional Context and AxiologyIn many cases, axiology and values are discussed in terms of culture, specifically, the underlyingbeliefs, assumptions, and goals that are embedded within institutions and organizations. Scheinand Schein [12] argue that culture is embedded and integral throughout any given organizationand is often difficult to fully conceptualize. Culture is often related to directly observablephenomena, such as physical structures, behavioral norms, rituals, and language. However, afocus on this level reveals only the symptoms or byproducts of culture, rather than the fullpicture. These aspects of

The observationsmade in this portion of the experiment play a key role in the successful completion of a differenttransmission design problem. In a post-lab exercise, students are asked to design a 5-speed con-stant mesh transmission for the motorcycle engine using spur gears given several design criteria. Students are also tasked with designing and building a gear-driven clock mechanism. Stu-dents have access to systems previously built to gather inspiration and insight.

In addition, the center has workshops about the inclusiveclassroom, covering how to create an inclusive classroom: how to develop practices thatinclude academic belonging, and how to guide discussions about this sensitive topic. InBrazil, these inclusive programs are necessary because public universities work with a quotesprogram, and several issues should be included in industrial engineering courses. This isbecause some students need help to afford to visit some industries because they are from low-income families. Then, professors should rethink how they structure classes to integrate thesestudents.Additionally, it is important to point out that, during the pandemic, to improve the teachingand learning process, the demands of the
