Thelong term modules are designed to be taught over the course of several weeks, and the short termmodules are designed to be taught in a couple of hours.The module topics range from building strong composite structures to tall towers. The way themodules are structured is that the engineering topic is introduced, students brainstorm ideas,students are broken up into groups and given materials. Engineering design concepts areintroduced and the high school students start building their project. All projects are tested andthe engineering designs are discussed with the students.A small group of

The research aims this study seeks to address are: Aim 1: Characterize common narratives of Master’s-level departure and model departure decisions over time. Broad questions include: How do narratives of attrition vary by characteristic (e.g., stage of graduate study at time of departure, gender, race)? How do factors of attrition from higher education literature manifest in an engineering context

examining what has changed in typical course content in the 27 years that I’ve beenteaching this course. At this level there are only two changes or trends. One trend is the additionof spreadsheets. A second trend is a degree of “dumbing or slimming down” the course and thetexts. The course topics included in most books have not changed over this interval. Chaptersget added, dropped, split, combined, and rearranged; but there is virtually no fundamentaldevelopment other than that linked to spreadsheets.This is neither a radical assertion, nor a new one. It is well documented 9 that this field has ahistory of examining its slow development. Texts and presumably courses have focused more onfinancial mathematics and removed material linked to design

by research and experience.As part of the assessment effort, SUCCEED fielded e-mail surveys in 1997 and 1999 to whichrespondents reported their use of such instructional practices as writing formal instructionalobjectives for undergraduate classes, conducting in-class learning activities, and assigning team-based homework in traditional lecture courses (in contrast with laboratory and design courses,where teams have traditionally been used). About a third of surveyed faculty members returnedthe survey in each administration (32% in 1997 and 36% in 1999).This paper compares the results of the two surveys with respect to the use of certain teachingpractices among faculty and shows the relationship between attending faculty

Each project is documented in awritten technical report and the final project includes a presentation of the overall results. Anoutstanding motivational aspect of the current course is the ability to analyze the student data andcompare to published results of existing aircraft.

have taken place during the last few years. However, discussion of data has to go beyond traditional databases and include such important topics as design and implementation of data for exchange between applications and for presenting knowledge about particular business areas, as well as data models and technologies used for these purposes. Just adding these issues to curricula of the database programs makes it difficult to provide systematic coverage of data technologies. The paper suggests transforming database curricula into data curricula that will allow for developing a more consistent view of today’s data technologies and better teaching approaches, and will provide the possibility for easier upgrading of data programs in

policymakers workingto increase diversity in STEM fields can benefit from quantitative survey measures designed, from theirinception, to capture the strengths inherent in the families, communities, home languages, cultures, andexperiences of Students of Color. Not only do such instruments combat demotivating deficit narratives,but they also point to opportunities for institutions to work with students’ existing assets to promote theirSTEM success (Verdín et al., 2021). Unfortunately, developing new, widely tested survey research toolsis both costly and time-intensive, and few scholars have undertaken this work (Hiramori et al., 2024).
