Often, thisknowledge is expected to be gained through a service course in statistics whereby the focus is onbreadth and covering the practical extent of methods commonly used in a field. However, studentsfrequently enter statistics courses with negative attitudes, compounded by traditional teachingmethods that focus on trivial examples and a general lack real-world relevance. At Wright StateUniversity, innovative approaches in statistical education were implemented across theBiomedical, Industrial, and Human Factors Engineering Department and Pharmacology andToxicology Department. These innovations include design project-based learning, where studentsundertake semester-long projects to

Approaches to understanding women’sunderrepresentation in STEM fields have evolved since the early 1970s, when theunderrepresentation of women in STEM was identified. Cronin and Roger3 have developed achronological progression of the main approaches to women’s underrepresentation in STEMfields using a meta-analysis of feminist theories of gendered politics.

Productfamily planning places a much higher demand on management of information of multiple typesand from multiple sources. In response, researchers at four universities are collaborating on thedevelopment of an information technology infrastructure to support product platform planning.This is a relatively new development in engineering design that is typically not part of theundergraduate education; therefore, we see an intrinsic relationship between the need forintegrating the development of research directly with educational enhancements to teach studentsabout these concepts.

This co-curricular approach not only allowed for the university students to discussbiomedical engineering theory, but to take the theory and apply it in real time. The universitystudents engaged in peer-to-peer instruction which encouraged constructive feedback on faileddevelopments within the design process and created opportunities for students to analyze eachother’s work and apply a new strategy to the design. When students have the opportunity to learnfrom one another, student engagement and conceptual learning is increased which directlyimpacts a student’s ability to solve novel problems [9].The non-profit alternative educational program team members benefited

For many educators, CS education, especiallyAI/DS-related education is new, and the need for CS support for educators is essential if they areto develop and maintain a growth mindset both for themselves and for their students to keep upwith changes [1].Equally important is making the computing sciences appealing and accessible to learners.

In the conception of the new engineering programs, project-based learningwas identified as a key component of the curriculum, and consequently the majority of courses inthe department have a weekly lab component. While the labs provide an opportunity for hands-onlearning, problem solving at all levels is primarily practiced through weekly homework problems,in introductory courses up through senior-level courses on more advanced topics.This case study

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
