This one-semester course consists of three components, some of whichoccur concurrently. In the first component, students develop technical skills (e.g., 3D printing)that are applicable to many of the design projects. In the second component, students learn aboutthe various stages of the engineering design process. In the third component, students apply theengineering design process to solve a problem presented by a client. In the early portion of the semester, students complete two projects selected from areassuch as computer-aided design and 3D printing, circuits and microcontrollers, woodworking

The prevalence of mental healthconditions among college students has been increasing during the last few decades, and it willonly be compounded by the challenges currently faced in our society.

It was decided that the computer-based data acquisition system be controlled usingLabVIEW software in order to provide the students with a foundation for higher-level classeswhere MATLAB and LabVIEW are used.

Even though students found the class enjoyable,they expressed some negative perceptions regarding some stages of the engineering designprocess, and the pacing of the course. Further, some 7th graders described the 3D CAD softwareas being hard to follow. Additionally, students learned that collaboration is an important component of theSTEM-ID curriculum. In real-life settings, engineers collaborate with their peers throughout thedesign process. It is important that students be able to collaborate because a critical stage of theprocess is the selection of the most promising solution among several competing ideas.Collaboration among classmates was perceived as a positive experience by STEM-ID studentsacross

As a result, 3D printing is used in a variety of design coursesincluding high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels of STEM education [4-6].Incorporating 3D printing into a course allows students to build upon critical thinking andproblem solving, as well as increasing writing and speaking skills [4].

Tracks meet individually onehour per week during the semester, and then travel together for two weeks in May.

impressionthat the ma term (the so-called inertia force) is a real force. Since this is certainly not the case,the instructor has to make sure to mention over and over that it is only a fictitious force. He canalso emphasize this by choosing a different color for the inertia forces in the free-body diagramwhen doing example problems on the board.I feel that the application of d’Alembert’s principle has several advantages:  By drawing the inertia forces (which of course show the reaction forces at bearings) into the FBD, the student get a better feel for what is happening in the system. In many systems they will be able to immediately determine the direction in which the bearing forces point.  Multiple-body system are easier

world to the “doublebind” of being a woman and a person of color. It was a phrase coined during the exploration ofthe status of minority women in science. The “double bind” was comprised of the effects of dualoppressions, being both a woman and a person of color. After all, African American women areat the intersection of two of the most pervasive prejudices in this country: racism and sexism12.On the most general level, oppression denotes structural and material constraints thatsignificantly shape a person's sense of possibility and opportunities13. Oppression restricts bothself-determination and self-development, and ultimately limits who they can imagine becomingand the power to act in support of their own rights and aspirations14. The
