University (WVU) is a cohort-based integrated Engineering Bridge Program designed for non-calculus ready first-yearengineering students. During COVID times, AcES encountered challenges in recruitingunderrepresented students. We realized that the recruitment method needed to be modified toattract them. After applying new recruitment methods for 3 weeks, AcES participants werediversified, resulting in 30% female, 20% underrepresented minorities, 30% low-income, and20% first-generation in the cohort. Our research aims to (1) analyze AcES enrollment data beforeand after applying the new recruitment strategy, (2) conduct surveys to understand theeffectiveness of different recruitment methods in diversifying the cohort, and (3) devise a plan toimprove

In our experiment, this meant that participants learning to sort the vortex streetsas laminar or turbulent would presumably have a better post-test score than those who werelearning on the general images, but then have a much harder time on the alt-test, when they hadto switch to sorting the general category.We found that, while the novice results were roughly in line with these prior findings, the expertresults suggested a different mechanism for learning was occurring. We should note that thequantitative analysis [7] did not reveal many statistically significant results. Two findings didstand out from that work: 1) When we performed a two-way ANOVA on the results, wediscovered that a comparison of

Introduction The developed world has had reliable access to electric power for decades, and much researchis currently focused on the reliability, efficiency, and security of aging grids, harnessingsustainable generation, and integrating “Smart Grid” concepts. However, approximately onebillion people still lack access to electricity globally. Access is particularly low in rural areas,where only 63.2% of people in rural areas of developing countries have access to electricity [1],and about half of those without electricity live in Africa, where the 2015 rural electrification ratewas only 14% [2]. One proposed solution is the islanded microgrid, which is a small grid thatconnects

The circuit contains anRCA and a 2:1 MUX; the MUX module has one control input to select which MUX data inputappears on the output.

Low-Cost/High-Impact: Success Skills Students Will Actually UseIntroductionArguably, the two biggest challenges facing engineering education are retention and, in general,student learning. Obviously, the two are interrelated but not necessarily simply by studentperformance-- generally indicated by grades. Not surprisingly, studies show there is a strongcorrelation between low GPA and students leaving engineering programs.[1-5] However, thereis also evidence of a broad range of GPAs of graduating students.[6,7] Whether or not theprimary focus of efforts to improve students’ performance are geared towards retention, suchefforts will also benefit all students.While there are many factors that affect students reasoning for leaving

At the time, there was only a single industrialpartner involved in the program. The company identified 34 potential projects, and 16 of themwere successfully completed. It is important to note that while a company can submit as manyprojects as it would like, submission of a project does not ensure the project will be taken on by astudent. In order for these projects to be successful, projects need to have students who areenthusiastic and personally interested in the projects. Projects are staffed by students

One of themost critical challenges is the presence of anisotropic material properties in 3D printed parts [1].Unlike conventionally manufactured homogeneous materials where the structure and propertiesare generally isotropic, 3D printed objects are known to be mechanically weak at the

Students can use MasterCAM to compute these values. Thisassessment method quantifies the accuracy of student drawings and ensures they understandthe importance of the origin in their CAD models.
