object selection further.Unlike the discrete selector, the volumetric selector allows users to select multiple objectssimultaneously, even if other objects occlude some objects. When activated, the volumetricselector projects a cone from the user’s hand, visually representing the selection zone. A spherecast from the user’s hand collides with any objects within the cone’s base diameter (Figure 6).Next, we filter the objects by calculating the object’s angle from the user’s hand using the 𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑒 ⋅𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑜𝑏𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡following formula: 𝜃 = cos −1 (|𝑝𝑜𝑠 ) 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑒 ||𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑜𝑏𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡 | Figure 6.

In a final round they do a design-for-manufacturing exercise to create a new, more buildable design, and use pull, kitting, andkanban tools to create a lean manufacturing system that can typically make five times as manyairplanes as the start state with basically the same resources.The product development simulation involves 7 students taking the roles of project management,design, analysis, systems engineering and verification and testing. They process several differentkinds of paper jobs that have different paths through the system. They perform abstract tasks,attaching labeling dots to the paper “jobs,” with time controlled by sand timers and success orfailure determined by dice. Failure can create rework

development of effective and engaging laboratory-based learning experiences. Inconclusion, hands-on, human-remote, and remote laboratories each have their own advantagesand limitations, and the choice of laboratory setup will depend on the specific learning goals,resources, and constraints of each educational program.Future studies should expand the analysis to virtual and ultra-concurrent labs so that all fivedifferent types can be accurately compared using the same or similar experimental setups.Another current trend in education stems from the abilities of Augmented Reality devices, whichenable a combination of virtual and hands-on laboratories. By using their own hands to interactwith the projected environment, users can better identify with the
engineering education was not nationally recognized nor supported until the publication ofNGSS [22]. With renewed national investment into STEM education, it appears EEJ publicationshave focused on student conceptions and learning about engineering. On the other hand, OEJpublications focus on ways in which engineering can be utilized to better support learning in theclassroom. One way is through teacher professional development around engineering contentknowledge and training in new engineering-infused curricula (e.g. Engineering is Elementary,Project Lead the Way).

This paper emerges from a larger qualitative and design-based study, which exploredyouths’ experiences within a community engineering program and used this data to iterate theprogram. The purpose of the larger project was to understand better how youth–whose socialidentities are marginalized in engineering–begin to engage in engineering practices and narratetheir experiences in engineering programs.

In the new model, each course has one of two common learning outcomes -- ethicalreasoning or intercultural and global awareness. By incorporating these learning objectives acrossall of the general education courses over the students academic career, students might be able tobetter integrate their learning across courses, including across disciplines. This project examinescourses within the COE that integrate the ethical reasoning component of the Pathways curriculumPilot Interview

Surveying engineering has a significant role in construction and highway projects,mapping and boundary determination, building information management, land informationmanagement, monitoring engineering structures, and more. Surveying makes use of manyrevolutionary technologies including Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), laserscanning, photogrammetry, and mapping using small unmanned aerial systems (sUASs).However, the surveying profession suffers from low public profile, making it difficult to attractstudents in surveying / geomatics programs, with many surveying programs experiencing lowenrollment. This issue has led to significant problems in the profession such as increasing theaverage age of surveyors, with unofficial

While more money is spent on preparing students foruniversity STEM programs, the number of engineering graduates continues to decrease, andattrition rates for engineering undergraduates remains high [13]. Educators are continually striving for better, more effective and efficient ways to teachtheir students. In the past few decades, several research projects have emerged which compareand contrast several different techniques, methodologies, and resources. In addition to this, thenumber of resources and teaching philosophies have increased exponentially. Some innovationshave included clickers, online homework, interactive textbooks, and adaptive software. As aresult, many studies

The major aim ofthis project is to increase the understanding of the stress and coping mechanism networks ofgraduate students, as well as how these two different networks interact. The results will facilitatethe development of better support programs for graduate students.In this paper, we seek to answer the following research questions: (1) What are the primarystressors and coping mechanisms of current graduate students, and (2) What are the

We were generally impressed with the range in the categories ofresponses that we received from students, which demonstrates that students in engineering areconsidering many facets of inequity in design. As Odumosu et al. (2018) saw, having students beactive knowledge producers in the classroom was a useful pedagogical tool. A major takeaway from the project was that while our intentions were to work within anasset-based model, what we were asking students to do was inherently focused on deficits. Whenwe asked students to find a product design that they would deem a failure, we elicited responsesin which students would look for deficits in engineering designs, and then subsequently askedthem how they would ‘fix

Stigmas are usually identifiable by twomain components, the recognition of difference and devaluation (Pryor & Reeder., 2013). Pryorand Reeder (2013) go on to further explain the purpose of stigmas with one of the key functionsbeing exploitation and domination. Where they describe how stigmas are used by those in powerto maintain the inequality between those with less so they will stigmatize them. Now in mostcases when one

On the other hand, educational animation create projections of phenomena forlearning [7].

In particular, if students work in group projects as part of their coursework, theyare highly likely to interact with those students for group work, and also on other academicmatters.Lack of interaction with campus events, student support, and advisorsOne of the major investments that many universities are currently making is in support staff andstructures for students. These include student support services, advising support, and evencoaching. Findings from our study show that NTSE students rarely use these services and theavailability of these services, especially if they are on campus, are not necessarily beneficial tothis student population.Negative outcomes with faculty membersIn terms of the quality of interactions

For example, the bio-engineering program of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaigninvestigated twenty-two ABET-accredited biomedical engineering programs to survey lab creditrequirements and the instructors’ practices about their laboratory and project-based courses toassess the landscape of lab courses in biomedical engineering programs [2].

persistence. It is possible that students’ interest dropped because they learned moreabout engineering and were no longer interested, but it is also possible that the lower interest wasa result due to their underachievement. Other parts of the SEVT framework also help to identifylikelihood of persistence. One interesting factor to consider in future research is the perceivedcosts of engineering school. It is possible that a different intervention timeline be used for studentswho receive a C in math, that could occur in the second semester. One on one discussions aboutachievement and effort with either peers or advisors could be both a research project as well as aneffective retention intervention. Additionally, these students may be worried about
