spend most of their timein their departments as they take classes, attend seminars, conduct research, and interactinformally with department faculty, staff, and other graduate students, the climate theyexperience and the support they receive can have a major impact on their success. In addition,changes in a department can last well beyond the end of a grant. When interventions addressstudents directly, once they graduate there may be no lasting changes that result from theprogram. On the other hand, when faculty attitudes and mentoring practices change, the changescan last and continue to help students succeed long after the grant expires (robust design).In this paper, we describe the baseline surveys and the results from their administration

Page 14.1006.2process. For universities with graduate programs and significant research endeavors, seniorcapstone topics can often be identified as those that, although have merit, are perhaps not largeenough in scope for a graduate student. Regardless the size of a school’s research activities,local industries can be a wonderful source of design topics. It’s a win-win situation since youcan get a terrific topic for your students and they can get free engineering; but sometimes it canbe difficult for a faculty member to meet these engineers and tap their design problems,especially if the faculty member is new to the area.Perhaps the best way to contact the industries is through the program advisory boards, butbeyond that it definitely requires

Design for the Class Project An undergraduate research assistant working with the principal investigator uses theFused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology to conduct a preliminary study on therepeatability performance using PLA and ABS plastic filaments for two types of 3D printers.ABS and PLA filaments are widely used today in both education and industry. However, eachfilament has its strength and weakness, including stiffness, durability, chemical resistance, andheat resistance. Although PLA filament is one of the most accessible materials, it only fits intohobbyist applications due to its poor heat and chemical resistance. On the other hand, ABSfilament is lighter and more durable [15]. It is used in more practical applications

This approach was developed intuitively, but we found that italigns nicely with the refinements offered by recent research on teaching and learning in thesciences.All lab instructors are aware of the impact Graduate Teaching Assistants can have on students’motivation and learning, and Velasco’s argument for training the teaching staff to engage withstudents reinforces our approach to the important role TAs play [4] in student learning.Specifically, lab staff, usually TAs, is best positioned to interact with students at critical projectpoints

The purpose of the study was threefold: (1) to determine if a transferreflection activity and map and associated analyses are a useful ways to facilitate reflection aboutlearning/transfer, (2) to identify perceived knowledge and skills transferred from a capstonecourse, and (3) to determine how feedback about transfer can be used to improve capstoneeducation. The study used a qualitative research design to explore the impact of transferactivities on students in the capstone course.

A significant number of the modules were included in the fall 2007capstone spacecraft-mission design course. The results were less than optimal. The addition ofthe SE modules to the design requirements overloaded the students.
