More effort is needed to raise women’sskills in mathematics, science, and technology if women are to be able to compete.This paper describes a pre-college science and engineering education program conducted everyyear at Penn State Altoona for middle school (7th and 8th grades) girls and their teachers. Theprogram is designed to address each one of the above mentioned skills. The objective of theprogram is to expose middle school girls to careers in science and engineering. In addition toproviding a detailed description of the program, the paper analyzes the outcomes of this program.Recommendations for further improving the effectiveness of the program are also given.I.

bedifficult for faculty to swallow it all at once. A more flexible approach, now being implemented under NSFsponsorship, includes rewriting the MIT/DMSE Mechanics topics as discrete web-available modules (seehttp://web.mit.edu/course/3/3.11/www/modules.html). This would permit an instructor to use only those portionsshe finds effective for the current term, without being locked into a new book. Such a modular approach might beuseful in many subjects beyond Mechanics or even engineering. Almost no one finds a text perfectly matched totheir particular needs, and this would allow each instructor to tailor-make a text for her own desires. Problems withcopyrights and payments arise, but if the value and demand are there these could certainly be

. Improvementsin thermal efficiencies continue to be a driver for research because of the significant impact that increasedefficiencies have on the reduction of CO2. Improvements by one point in efficiency for turbines in the USadds $7 billion of economic benefit and is the CO2 equivalent to removing two million cars from the road[3]. Additionally, the use of gas turbines to replace coal power in the US could result in over a 50% reductionin CO2 output with no loss in generation level or reliability [4], [5]. In addition, it is more critical than everto develop a diverse workforce for this field. The Department of Defense is increasing the requirements ofsuppliers, such as gas turbine manufacturers, to diversify their workforce. As such, our proposal aims

AbstractSmart manufacturing technologies improve the productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness forU.S. industries. Key enabling technologies in smart manufacturing are to 1) acquire real-timeheterogeneous data from IoTs, sensors, and machines tools, and 2) make decisions from the datausing analytics. This Maker project discusses the development of a prototype Application softwarefor a 3D printer based on MTConnect protocol. This Application is able to collect, visualize, andstore data from additive manufacturing processes. This project aims to train students about 1)MTConnnect on Adapter, Agent, and Application development, 2) additive manufacturing, 3)database, and 5) communication protocols, for manufacturing operations.

More recently, mobile sensor platforms, such asRemotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), aredeveloped to provide a flexible method of data acquisition. Nevertheless, thesetechnologies can be very expensive, require a fulltime shipboard or land-based operator(ROVs), and often are not capable of real time data transmission (AUVs) 3. Moreover,although some ROVs and AUVs have been deployed in various missions (e.g.,REMUS6), difficulties arise for vehicles in shallow water and complex terrain2, 4.
