An 18-item survey was designed to connect engineeringstudents’ cultural assets to the ways they navigate their present-day lives as college students andforesee their future lives as engineers. The study recruited a sample of undergraduate studentsregistered in engineering majors at three institutions of higher education including a publicHispanic Serving Institution (Angelo State University), a Tier-2 research institution (JamesMadison University), and a Tier-1 research institution (University of Colorado Boulder). Thesurvey findings corroborate results found in other studies.

The natural frequency was compared with the possible vortex shedding frequencyarising due to severe wind. In the end, a variety of leg cross-sections were analyzed to determineany notable development in the structure’s natural frequency. Those results are also included inthis report.

Educationthe courses taken at the foreign university must meet specific curricular requirements. Anotherimportant consequence of the rigidity of undergraduate study in engineering is that freshmanlevel language courses are not counted towards the degree, a constraint that makes it difficult forstudents to develop the skills necessary for success at a foreign university. All of these problemsare a result of educational priorities that emphasize, with good reason, the technical competenceof its graduates. And yet, there is a growing demand for educational innovations in engineering thatencourage a broader approach to education. The engineering accreditation board, ABET hasclearly charged colleges of engineering with demonstrating that their

The assignments may include research papers,technical reports, email reports, or lab books. Assignments are evaluated on the basis oftechnical merit and on the quality of writing and written presentation. Many courses also requireteam projects. In these projects, students are provided training in teamwork, required to work inteams, and team performance is carefully evaluated. In Computer Science courses, students arerequired to turn in all work on disk. Oral communications are required in most courses. Theweight

research on adultlearners suggests that increased learning gains can be achieved when instruction is designed withstudents’ learning styles in mind [1]-[6]. In addition, several practitioners within the domain ofphysics, as well as engineering education, have noted the importance of teaching with learningstyles in mind [7]-[14]. Furthermore, attention to learning styles and learner diversity has beenshown to increase student interest and motivation to learn. The particular population of students that encompasses the focus of this paper is non-sciencemajors taking introductory physics at American University. Most students take this introductorycourse to satisfy the university’s General Education requirements for graduation. Because thebackgrounds
