Lastly, the studentsanswered word problems in groups about designing inclined stages and also considered theethical impact of designing a raked stage for their performers. Students commented on theirimproved clarity in learning the material through this blended lecture and lab structure and werefurther inspired by the activity to tie the lab’s experimental setup to their final project in theclass.KeywordsInclined Plane, Normal Force, Design Ethics, non-STEM majorsIntroductionAt most liberal arts colleges in the United States, science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) courses are often required as part of their core

summarizes the results of this survey. At the beginning of the program, 17out of the 25 students (or 68%) indicated one of the fields of engineering as their intended major,with Engineering (General) as the most popular choice. The remaining 8 out of the 25 students(or 32%) were undecided. After the program, students intended major remained the same exceptfor one student who switched from Civil Engineering to Landscape Architecture. Students whowere initially undecided remained undecided. Clearly, the program failed to recruit additionalstudents to major in any of the engineering fields.Table 10.

regarding active experimentation[7]. Open-ended laboratory courses or even traditional classes with experimentation exposure have shownto provide greater learning value as compared to the traditional lecture only focus [2,8]. Such coursesemploy an approach to learning science that are backed by a significant body of work on research-basedand active pedagogies in various engineering disciplines as well as have demonstrated superior levels ofstudent engagement and learning. Introduction of real-world problems not only allows students to masterappropriate techniques and technologies, but also allows the students to design strategies for solvingproblems and practice an overall process of inquiry [9-10].

For example, food deserts may not initially seem connected to structuraldesign or construction, so these concepts are not currently found in ARCE or CM curriculum.The aforementioned DEI topics are formalized into departmental curriculum plans, yet there aremany CAED faculty that have individually tailored their offering of core courses to investigateDEI concepts.

’ knowledge, this isthe only undergraduate STEM major for K-5 teacher preparation in the USA. Currently,there are ~160 MST majors. All students in elementary, early childhood, special education,and deaf & hard of hearing education can elect the MST major as their required“disciplinary” major. As opposed to post-service activities, a pre-service STEM teacherpreparation seemed most appropriate since (i) it provides a systemic solution to the K-5“STEM-teacher void,” (ii) teachers are the largest single influence on a student’s education1and (iii) a pre-service environment provides 4 years of time, time enough for important andsynergistic areas to be covered in depth. Two key initial goals for the program were toachieve a higher number of STEM

Other roboticcourses where students work at the imitative level with black boxed sensors and actuatorsare able to cover a broader swath of components, at least in the beginning of the course.In the second version of the MHC course, we decreased the amount of componentsintroduced, choosing to focus on raising student understanding of those selectcomponents to a “functional” level. As a result, more class and lab time could be spent“telling the story” of the behind-the-scenes functioning of the components and theHandyboard module.However, the initial

investigate which alternate (distractor) answers were most attractive to the students. Foreach question we asked students to select one of five prescribed choices or to fill in a responseof their own, allowing us to capture novel distractors caused by unanticipated conceptualconfusions.The initial round of testing indicated that, while the questions were generally clear∗ , theexam was too long and too difficult. Most students struggled to finish within the one-hour proposed time limit, and the mean score was 29.5/100. The difficulty of the exam isfurther illustrated by the fact that 87% of students scored below 40/100. Regarding thedistractor analysis, Version 1.0 appeared to capture almost all common misconceptions sincefew students gave a solution

Notre Dame is a private, research university with an undergraduate enrollment of about8000. Admission to the University is “intent blind,” in that is there is no consideration given tothe intended field of study during the admission process. Students are not enrolled in discipline-specific colleges during their first year at Notre Dame but rather in a college called First Year ofStudies. Prior to 2000, those students with an interest in pursuing degree programs in the Collegeof Engineering typically took two-semester course sequences each in calculus
