American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Capstone Courses for Middle School (Work in Progress)Engineering is slowly making its way into K-12 education. Although there have been somenotable advances like the inclusion of engineering processes in the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS) [1], currently the options for engineering education are still limited and few.Nevertheless, one recent innovation in some middle schools seems to have a great deal ofpromise with regards to
modes, which is a key objective of theexperiment under development. Two degree of freedom portable vibration models are moredifficult to realize than SDOF systems, especially if quantitative measurements are desired. Andwhile multi-degree of freedom systems such as guitar strings have been studied (eg. [8] and [9]), a lumped, 2DOF system is desirable because students can view it as from an elementarymodeling standpoint and can compare theory with experiment.There has not been much prior work in the development of low-cost, simplified portable 2DOFhands-on learning platforms. A notable exception is the work of Tekes and co-workers [10],[11]. Tekes designed innovative SDOF and 2DOF vibratory systems composed of parts thatwere 3D printed. In her
filling the outline as I go. To make my literature research innovative, Iwatched two TED talks (1) over perfectionism and noted down the key thoughts in threesentences (1). In the following days, I was still filling the outline with more literature and someof my thoughts (1). Everything was going smoothly until my exams week where I could not findenough time to work on my tasks (0). Surprisingly, I was not feeling depressed, anxious, or notgood enough. I looked back at what I have accomplished and assured myself, “That is Okay. Wewill continue building on what I have.”I observed that the strength of this method is mainly based on its simplicity and clarity with eachtask.

unusual events asan opportunity for creativity and innovation in their approaches.Without a doubt, capstone projects such as Baja, Formula, and other design-build-test projectsare significantly affected by students not having access to the college’s shop. That said, theseissues appear not to have been as important to the drone and other community-based PBLprojects as they were for the car projects. It is also clear that projects such as this rely heavily onstudents working together, which will make the ongoing development and use of onlinecollaboration tools increasingly important for times when in-person interactions are not possible.Looking ahead, it remains to be seen what lasting effects the Covid-19 restrictions will have oncapstone design

More recently children and teens have received increased support for this spectrumdisorder in elementary, middle, and high school, thus leading to more students with ASDpursuing postsecondary education [1,2]. Students with ASD who have successfully completedhigh school often face more adversities in college since the student must take moreresponsibility for his/her educational success, possible changes in living situations, andsocializing with new students [3].

byChinese companies, such as DJI, who holds as much as 75% market share of an $21 billion peryear industry. The cybersecurity implications of this led the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) toban the purchase and use of COTS UASs for DoD work in 2018, and the following year the U.S.Department of the Interior grounded its fleet of 70 DJI UASs. Accordingly, there has been anincreased interest in how to secure UASs.Project OverviewThis project took place at a medium-sized, business-and-STEM only institution in the south-eastern U.S. Sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the intended purpose of thisproject is to develop “innovative solutions that directly maintain, or cultivate a diverse, world-class STEM workforce in order to maintain the U.S
programmaticchange in higher education is rather rare [1], [2], [6], [7]. This section discusses the factors that,in retrospect, coincided to enable large scale curricular change to occur at this particular point intime. These factors, in no particular order, are: 1) reflection prior to and the post-hoc results ofan ABET accreditation visit, 2) arrival of an external department chair, 3) a preponderance ofyounger faculty in the department, 4) lingering pressures from lower-than-desired enrollment, 5)an environment that welcomed educational innovations, 6) a promotion and tenure system thatvalued teaching, 7) innovations occurring college-wide from a KEEN Foundation grant, and 8)growing institutional stresses caused by external factors not under the
