They earned only 35% ofthe bachelor’s degrees in astronomy, 33% in chemical engineering, and less than 20% inaerospace engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and physics.5Underrepresented minorities received just 12% of the total STEM bachelor degrees awarded.1The participation and retention profiles of white women are different than those of URM malesand females.

It is also not the firstthat has focused on using VBA and MATLAB as programming languages. The new ideas in thispaper relate more to the way in which VBA and MATLAB are being used, the way the course isstructured, and the manner in which the material is being taught.Of course, these innovations, those being presented, and

content is important or that it will be necessary for students to succeed in courses that build onthe current one. In the case of statics, topics are deemed important in large part because anunderstanding of statics concepts is vital to success in dynamics or mechanics of materials—courses where they apply statics to more complex scenarios. But beyond simply needing materialfor an upcoming class, helping students see relevance and relatedness to their personal lives andvalues can serve to increase motivation and, in turn, enhance learning and engagement with coursecontent.

It also distributes cutting forces evenly,minimizing wear and increasing tool life while maintaining stability to reduce deflection andvibrations for precise drilling. A steeper angle might weaken the cutting edge, while a lower anglecould increase cutting resistance. By optimizing these factors, the 14.5-degree helix angleenhances drilling performance across various materials, making it a versatile and efficient choice.Figure 4: Mechanical Analysis of Helical Gears using MATLAB 4.0 DiscussionLean Six Sigma integrates efficiency improvement and quality enhancement into machine designprocesses.

Using one’s industrial experience can provide a good foundationfor teaching because many practical examples can be brought into the classroom. Studentsvalue these “real world” examples very highly. However, the expectation of studentperformance by industrial professionals can be quite elevated and result in overly highexpectations of student performance. Interesting presentations and grading fairness areimportant for good student evaluations.Research/ScholarshipFor this discussion, research is defined as acquiring new knowledge through the scientificmethod, whereas scholarship is publishing in journals

Here the design reports were again studied aswill as an exit survey of the graduating seniors about their compliance with the goals.From the final design reports, four of the reports included content related to safetyanalysis in their design. Three of the reports included failure mode analysis or fault treeanalysis. Other reports discussed proper material selection for safety considerations.From the exit surveys, there was also an indication that this goal was more effectivelyaddressed. Example comments include, “I think the program did a good job of what legalrequirements there are through different government institutions such as FDA, ISO9000
