We suggestsome methods for retaining URMs in engineering by leveraging interdisciplinary studies to offerbetter identity coherence by incorporating complex, impactful problem solving into their fields.All participants, especially URMs, expressed interest in the following methods of introducinginterdisciplinary aspects to engineering: (1) promoting interdisciplinary internships andintracollegiate research, (2) a revised first-year curriculum to introduce meaningfulinterdisciplinary-based projects, and (3) facilitation of

Engineering Education, 2023 Putting Individual Learning Responsibility Back into the Team Experience – An Application of the Design ExperienceIntroductionFor years engineering programs have focused on the importance of students participating in teamexperiences within subject and capstone classes. This team experience need was emphasized byABET in its Criteria 3 – Student Outcomes, specifically outcome d (for years 2000 to 2019) andoutcome 5 (for years 2019 to present) and emphatically adopted by most engineering programs[1] [2].The need for teamwork is also emphasized by industry.

The study was approached from aninsider, scholar-practitioner standpoint with the hope that the results of this survey would be usedto inform campus administrators in real-time and positively impact working conditions. Theapproach loosely aligns with an action research paradigm [1], but it is recognized that this projectcurrently does not represent a fully developed action research project. Thus, the study isdescriptive and exploratory in nature. It is also important to note that this study is cross-sectionaland does not include pre-pandemic data. Thus, it is impossible to empirically determine a causalrelationship between pandemic related issues

method for determining the torque-speed curve of a wound-rotorinduction machine. Historically, induction machines have primarily been motors. As such, thecurrent method for determining a torque-speed curve uses the squirrel-cage induction machine asa motor to drive a DC generator acting as a load as illustrated in Figure 1. Conventional testingof the machine is performed in this fashion and has long been documented in IEEE Standards.[1]When a wound rotor induction machine is configured with two voltage sources, its applicationmay be as a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). This is how we have configured a woundrotor machine as part of a Type III wind turbine simulation test bed as illustrated in Figure 2.The wound rotor machine is connected

trevion.henderson@tufts.eduAbstractExisting research suggests introductory computer programming courses (i.e., CS1) constitute a significantbarrier for students’ entry into computer science and related disciplines. For example, extant literaturesuggests as high as 33% of students fail or drop out of introductory computer programming courses [1],precluding these students from pursuing computer science education in college. The purpose of thiswork in progress is twofold. First, we describe the development and implementation of a pedagogicalapproach to computing education that draws and expands on the Use-Modify-Create (UMC) framework[2, 3] to support students’ learning in introductory computer programming courses.

In recentyears the number of projects involving the use of programming software such has MATLAB hasrapidly grown. This growth in the mechanical engineering field has occurred for two reasons: 1)it helps provide students with more exposure to programing which is desired skill in industry and2) allows instructors to assign problems that would otherwise be cumbersome to solve by hand.When designing an engineering curriculum, it is important to consider problems and projects toincorporate concepts from Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL).PBL
