From these conversations, some key takeawaysincluded the student’s lack of being able to develop a Production Part Approval Process plan,design fixtures to hold parts or measuring instruments during the inspection process,misunderstanding of data in control charts, and inability to complete a design of experiments.With this in mind, manufacturing and quality engineers from local injection molding companiesand small machine shops were asked about donating parts (good and bad), as well as theassociated mechanical drawings, for students to use as part of class projects.

This data shows thatwomen are earning less engineering and computer science bachelor degrees and there has not beenmuch progress since 2004. These percentages are very low, and need to be increased for femalesto compete in this global economy. Despite all the odds, women were at the forefront of technology in history.

Faculty dedication has been a critical asset in adopting such continuingenhancements.Engineering programs at this university campus emphasize more hands-on experience than atypical undergraduate college, since most of our computer and electrical engineering studentsseek entry-level employment upon graduation. Most theory courses are augmented with separatetwo- to three-hour laboratory courses, taught by the same teaching faculty. This hands-onexperience is stressed more during the two-semester capstone project courses, offered in thesenior year of studies.

Freshmen Research Project: Design, Development and Testing of Variable Pitch Propeller Thrust Measurement Apparatus – A Case StudyAbstractWhen students first start their engineering education, they often do not know what to expect interms of the curriculum. Students are often discouraged by the rigor of freshmen theoreticalcourses. One of the ways to motivate them and keep them interested in engineering is to havethem work on hands on projects. In this project, freshmen students designed, developed, andtested a variable pitch propeller apparatus. The apparatus was intended to become a part of theaerospace engineering laboratory that future students would use to conduct experiments. Thechallenges of working
B.Literature ReviewIn reviewing the literature, Radu12 emphasizes the use of development boards and Coowar2elaborates on PLDs as well as CAD tools, but their students did not actually construct logiccircuits. Nickels8 provides a choice between two options, either construct logic circuits usingdiscrete logic devices on a breadboard, or use a PLD on a development board. Nickels rightlypoints out that the use of a development board eases the development of logic circuits, howeverwith such convenience, Nickels also suggested that electrical and computer engineering studentsmay not have a suitable hands-on laboratory experience. As such, our use of a PLD with a classicbreadboard is a very different choice.With regard to CAD tools Radu et.al.12 emphasized

40% of undergraduateswho enter college intending to receive a STEM degree graduate in a STEM field1. This issue willbe exacerbated as women, underrepresented minorities (URM), and first-generation collegestudents, who traditionally earn fewer STEM degrees than white men, continue to grow as themajority of collegians. A recent report by the President’s Council on Science and Technologyprojects the United States will need one million more engineers in the next decade than we areon track to produce. Increasing STEM graduation rates from 40% to 50% of interested studentswould create roughly 750,000 of the million-needed engineers.1The percent of underrepresented minorities in engineering and science has historically beendismally low.
