Connect companies with an established network of mentors to provide team support.Feedback from the mid-program focus group is depicted in Appendix A and B. Resultsdemonstrated that some of the most valued events for participants were the pitch workshops,which were viewed as repeat mentoring opportunities for teams to receive feedback on theirpitch, resulting in a rating of 4.47/5.00 on a five-point scale. Another well-received mentoringopportunity was the mentor dinner (rating of 3.93/5.00) which one participant said “was by farthe best networking event and we made numerous important connections that night.”The post-program mean for mentor
. This is a very important point to emphasize, especially for engineeringstudents who are drawn to quantitative data and who tend to be less comfortable with qualitativedata and analyses. Hence, this “set up” for a discussion on analyzing the stories they receivedfrom their respondents is critical to a successful implementation of this exercise. Otherwise,students will take the “path of least resistance” and base most of their paper on the quantitativeassessments described below.When I introduce this phase, I spend a few minutes describing how strengths are holisticallydefined in this exercise (summarized on a PowerPoint) 16. Strengths are an integration of our (a)self-identities, which is how we express ourselves in a given situation, (b
fact that the containers will be transported by canoe. This can be a big design challenge on how to fit multiple containers in a canoe. I am hoping we can get more detail on this in order to really understand how our containers will travel through the Amazon. -Student B I find the fact that the containers need to be carried in a canoe through the Amazon to be a very interesting part of our project, because this adds a level of difficulty and challenge to our task rather than just creating a container for medical
solutions. This is true even for the analysis of problems involvingsimple geometry. In addition to the modeling errors, finite element analysis involves solving theequations using numerical methods, which again yield approximate solutions. Depending up onthe type of analysis performed, namely, structural, thermal, dynamic, NVH, etc., validation ofresults by simple models and hand calculations is necessary.The goals in FEA are thus to (a) use correct formulations to attain results close to exact results orresults from testing, and (b) to achieve convergence of the such results in the fastest time. Thereare other goals in terms of the development of theory and constitutive relationships to modelcomplex geometries consisting of advanced materials

It was also foundthat the learning process was facilitated by students feeling a need to learn more abouttheir subject to be able to tackle real world’s problems .5.

Most of the theoretical content wasdelivered through traditional lecture-based approach in order to provide students withsufficient basic technical knowledge. The PBL activities including the Field Hunting ofConcrete Distresses project and Concrete Distresses and Repair Case Studies term projectwere used to reinforce content knowledge and develop critical thinking and problem-solvingskills.In order to better organize the multitude of topics covered in this course, the class materialwas thematically arranged into three major segments, which included a) typical concreteproblem and deterioration mechanisms; b) diagnosis and evaluation of concrete problems;and c) concrete protection and

I divide the solutions into different categories and assign scores based on the category.Typically I have an A and a B pile, on rare occasions I have a student that does poorly on the laband will receive a C or D.Once the lab has finished I then introduce the concepts of intrusion detection systems and honeypots. I provide the students access to the intrusion detections I installed in 532corp so they canlook at attacks they carried out. The honey pots upset the most students.

Under the breadthstructure 43% of the students received B grades and 30% received A grades. Most semesters theinstructor lowered the cutoff between A and B grades to raise the number of students receiving Agrades. For the pilot study the course GPA was 3.74 with 71% of the students receiving Agrades.

The goal of this challenge-based engineering project was to explore if a team (a) with just a general background inengineering (role filled by undergraduate students), (b) modest resourcing and (c) in a relativelyshort period of time, could assemble an underwater vehicle to perform a specified mission. Theproject culminated with the operational demonstration of the underwater vehicle in a dive lagoonand the acquired engineering skills. Ultimately, we believe this project uniquely exposedundergraduate students, including minorities, to challenging real-world ocean engineeringproblems so as prepare or
reconsider the role that spatial skills actuallyplay in training engineers. This paper argues that spatial skills testing and training interventionsare a misuse of the time and energy of people who want to help women and other historicallyexcluded students succeed in engineering. We must reframe our interventions withoutperpetuating deficit models about cognitive abilities like “spatial skills,” a construct which, inspite of its wide popularity in the STEM education community, has been very poorly formulated.References[1] S.
