This investigation has begun at the beginning of an institution-based changeinitiative developed to promote evidence-based instructional practices in large enrollmentundergraduate STEM courses.1 Three engineering departments, along with four other STEMdisciplines, are involved in the change initiative. In order to develop change strategies, thecontext of the departments were explored through three levels of perspectives, individual,activity setting, and institutional.2 The activity setting that was chosen was the classroom orlaboratory, and

A comprehensive survey of the research on flipped classrooms isprovided by Bishop and Verleger2 who found that students tend to prefer in-person lecturesrather than videos but prefer the active learning opportunities that the flipped classroom affords.Many of the early research studies focus only on student attitudes and

The results of the pressure field were then integrated along the object boundaryusing Simpson’s rule in order to obtain the drag coefficient due to the imbalance of pressureforces acting in the flow direction. The same methodology, respectively, was used for the liftcoefficients.Computational Domain and Set upAs shown in Figure 1, a circular cylinder was used as a test two dimensional cross-section. It wasplaced at a location one third of the width, and half of the total height of the flow field. In orderto limit the influence of the “outer walls” of the flow field and as a general rule for accurate dragcoefficients, the flow field was given a total height of approximately 20D

Constitutive stress-strain relationships can be skillfullyapplied in a numerical model developed using the finite element method or finite differencemethod to reasonably predict the behavior of soil and soil-structure interaction1; however, astudent needs to believe what they are seeing is “true” in order for the teaching tool to beeffective.

IntroductionOn March 11, 2011, the earthquake and tsunami caused a series of equipment failures andnuclear meltdowns that led to the release of radioactive materials at the Fukushima DaiichiNuclear Power Plant in Japan. This accident shocked a lot of people in the world, especially thepeople living in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant [1]. There is one nuclear power plant(Grand Gulf Nuclear Station) located in Mississippi. Responding to a nuclear or radiationaccident is one of the most difficult aspects of a disaster response.

His work with MIDFIELD includes research on obstacles students face that interfere with degree completion and, as well, how institutional policies affect degree programs.

Students often have knowledge and perceptions about whatengineering is and what engineers do that is informed from their out-of-class experiences. Inorder to design effective curriculum and pedagogies, we must seek to understand how theseconceptions are formed through lived experiences, how they impact student learning, and howthey manifest in the lives of

According to datacollected by the National Science Foundation, women were conferred roughly 40% of doctoraldegrees in STEM fields from 2002-2012, yet in 2010, women accounted for only 27% of tenure-track assistant professorships in engineering.1 While the gender gap in STEM fields remains anongoing discussion,2-4 programs that provide resources and support for female engineeringdoctoral students interested in pursuing academic careers may help to address this gap.

Once these claims are explicated, it is possible to determine how well developers’claims about what is intended to be measured can be supported with empirical and analyticevidence.5 Generally, CI developers make three claims about their inventories. Following are theclaims and examples of methods to validate each particular claim. 1. Overall mastery of all concepts represented in the CI. This claim asserts that (1) overall performance on the inventory measures the focal domain knowledge and that (2) individual items provide coherent data that can be aggregated into an overall measure of performance. Researchers can evaluate this claim in three ways. First, the investigators can determine the
