ability in sighted populations.IntroductionSpatial ability has been defined as an intelligence related to the ability to mentally transform,retain, and generate visual images [1], [2]. Activities that require spatial ability includenavigation, mental rotation, and perception of objects. In this paper we define spatial ability as aquantification of a measurement of spatial thinking.Students who have high spatial ability have demonstrated higher levels of success in academiacompared to their peers, especially in areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) [3]–[5]. A longitudinal study that tracked students with high spatial performance alsofound that spatial ability has implications for professionals working in STEM fields [6

However, the battery effectively supplied the drone with almost thesame amount of power as the fuel cell when hydrogen was exhausted. Finally, it was found thatthe battery system plays an important role when the fuel cell is being turned on or off.Keywords Fuel Cell, Student Poster, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane, and Lithium-PolymerBatteries. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022 2022 ASEE Midwest Section ConferenceHydrogen Fuel Cell Technology A polymer

incorporated into theclassroom experience. One of these tools is a nifty shareware software package that allows youto produce animated gifs4 very easily. Unfortunately, it is still a rather time consuming process.My best estimate based on the work reported in this paper is that an experienced user can expectto spend at least an hour to produce a simple ten-second animation.But why use music? My experience is that a majority of the engineering and technology studentsrelate well to music. I choose familiar tunes that most students will recognize. I would like tothink that when they hear a particular tune in the future, their minds will connect with a technicalconcept. But pragmatically, I use this method because of my long experience with the BoyScouts

Each student can learn and grow, given that science,mathematics, and technology teachers approach them as individuals with specific learning needs tobe discovered. Putting it in terms of science and technology, each interaction between aninstructor and a student is an experiment in learning. This engineer will bring that emerging viewto teaching his college students. The same faculty member also believed that it is beneficial forscience, mathematics, and technology college instructors to experience instruction at theelementary, middle-school, and secondary

As the method and computer technology matured, FEM wasintroduced at the undergraduate level in engineering and engineering technologyprograms, even in some two-year technology programs. Graphical user-friendlyinterfaces (GUI) have significantly reduced the complexities of the actual application ofFEM software such that engineers with education equal to or less than the
accredited. ABET, formerly known asthe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, has changed their accreditation criteriain the late 90s from focusing on what is taught in the classroom to what the student would be ableto do after taking a particular course (Prados et al., 2005). It is the goal of educators to producedeep learners who will be able not only to grasp what is taught in the classroom, but also connectit to real world problems. Therefore, based on exploration of students’ conceptions of learning,approaches to learning, motivation and their experiences of the teaching-learning environment,educators can devise pedagogical tools that guarantee some level of deep learning. In addition,educators need to create successive contexts

Learning in Community Colleges and Four-Year UniversitiesIntroduction Community colleges serve an important role in the development of students in science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. Most community colleges are open-accessinstitutions, with students coming from all different walks of life to enroll in these schools [1].These include students directly out of high-school, or those that are returning to school for asecond career. When looking that the demographics of community colleges, we find that theyserve a disproportionate number of students who are marginalized [2]. These institutions oftenare a gateway to transferring into a four-year school where a student can continue their educationand receive a bachelor’s
