itself, and build on a growing effort at the K-12 [10]–[12],introductory [1], [2], and teacher education [13] levels to include these discussions in our upperlevel classrooms.We present on a two-pronged instructional approach in a Modern Physics for Engineers course atthe University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) in which we: a) construct an inclusiveenvironment through course structure, policies, and practices and b) implement a course unitengaging students in explicit discussions around representation and diversity in STEM. In thispaper, we describe the goals and implementation of this integrated approach to fosteringinclusion and teaching equity in a Modern Physics class (N=120). We report results of somepreliminary analyses to assess the

. His main research areas are a) models and modeling, b) learning environments and c) problem solving. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Towards a full integration of physics and math concepts: A path full of trapsAbstractBoth mathematics and physics concepts have been closely interrelated since their formalbeginnings in ancient times. Moreover, from a historical perspective, it is possible to identifyhow physics advanced as more complex mathematical ideas were available. In fact, it is hard toseparate them either in or outside a classroom. However, in the classroom there are manyinstances that the teaching of one subject obstructs or creates barriers for the other. After fiveyears of teaching

electromagnet attached to the central speaker.The plywood frame also housed four smaller speakers which used permanent magnets. Thecreators of this speaker initially also had the idea that the current supplied by the audio signalfrom the phone would create a large enough force that the cardboard diaphragm would vibrate.They learned that the current supplied by the phone would not create a strong enough magneticfield to vibrate the cardboard diaphragm. This group solved their problem with the four smallerspeakers with plastic diaphragms. The speaker designs shown in Figures 2b and 2c exceededexpectations.

projects forbeginning undergraduates in the life sciences; an emphasis on the importance of reproducibilityand extension of scientific research using peer-reviewed journal articles as case studies; andtraining in reading and writing scientific articles that build upon existing concepts in theundergraduate curriculum. The weaknesses in the model stem from the narrow scale of theseprojects that preclude working in research teams, and the difficulty of extending the research intothe scholarship of discovery.References1 Noah, B.

Paper ID #33437Inclusive Writing: Pre- and Post-COVID-19Dr. Teresa L. Larkin, American University Teresa L. Larkin is an Associate Professor of Physics Education and Director and Faculty Liaison to the Combined Plan Dual-degree Engineering Program at American University. Dr. Larkin conducts ed- ucational research and has published widely on topics related to the assessment of student learning in introductory physics and engineering courses. Noteworthy is her work with student writing as a learning and assessment tool in her introductory physics courses for non-majors. One component of her research focuses on the role

electricity in their daily life; therefore, it is crucial todevelop methods to produce energy from day-to-day doings. Considering our average daily use, the devicewas designed to harness energy from water flow using fundamental physics concepts. Hydroelectric poweris considered as one of the cleanest alternative energies but is still not widely and efficiently used by mostof today’s energy enterprises. This paper presents a water flow generator that produces electrical energyfrom the day-to-day water use at home. The flow generator design is a micro view of the hydroelectricpower plant combined with the idea of using rechargeable and energy storing devices. This will helpto generate electrical energy to support some of the devices used daily by
