Significance of Scholarship Programs in STEMIntroductionIn this Work-in-Progress paper, we share our ongoing work with an NSF Scholarships in STEM(S-STEM) program related to an iteration of analysis that looked across specific aspects in amore summative manner than our typical analyses during the five years of the project that aremore formative. As the project will soon enter an extension into a sixth year to use existingscholarship funds, we took this opportunity to begin to reflect on overarching goals toward thedevelopment and submission of a new S-STEM proposal to continue this work.

a strong programming capability. The benefits of such a laboratory course are twofold.Firstly, students learn simulation, which is widely used by engineers in the industry to verify andvalidate system designs. Secondly, these laboratory projects have been designed following theGagne‟s nine events of instruction15 which leads to an enhanced learning environment. Also,when compared to hardware based labs, such as with EMONA TIMS16, Mobile Studio17 andEttus USRP18, Simulink has the advantage of lower cost and ease of maintenance.Simulink Laboratory Projects for Communication Systems CourseSix Simulink laboratory projects are constructed to teach Simulink skills in parallel with thetheory.

Inaddition, a preliminary study of the problem was conducted. A typical AS/RS system consists ofthe following components: storage structure, storage/retrieval (S/R) machine, storage modules(e.g., pallets for unit loads), and pickup-and-deposit stations. The primary issue was to whatdegree the AS/RS model should mimic the real system. After careful consideration, the

First, Chuck Roth will fill you in on the Personalized System of Instruction, or PSI, aself-paced system of instruction best known as the Keller Plan. Fred S. Keller developed thismethod in the 1960s in Brazil, and he and Gil Sherman refined it later at Arizona StateUniversity. Billy Koen at the University of Texas first applied it to engineering education in1969, and his success encouraged Larry Hoberock, Chuck Roth and Gerry Wagner to use themethod in their classes. Later, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation provided a sizable grant toexpand this activity, and ultimately, 19 PSI

Narrowing the curriculum is not advancing the U.S.’s educational system and isinadequately preparing students to compete in a 21st century world.Lateral TransferRather than reduce the curricula, research indicates that systematically pairing specific subjectsmay improve both learning and motivation. For example, research consistently demonstrates astrong correlation between second language (L2) learning and increased first language ability onstandardized achievement tests. L2 learners have greater: syntactic awareness (Bialystock, 1988,Galambos & Goldin-Meadow); phonological awareness (Bruck & Genesse, 1995; Campbell &

This is the most challenging question because itrequires writing relationships (mathematical formulations) that indicate how the systemoutputs are functions of the system inputs. However, this step is most definitelyfacilitated by examining the answer to the previous question.What are your assumptions? This question is important because whenever one writes amathematical relation for an engineering system there are usually accompanyingassumptions, e.g., steady state, V-L equilibrium, Newtonian fluid, etc. If one changes theassumption(s) then the model(s

These beams involve hands-on experienceand visualization of reaction forces and moments, as well as deformations and stresses. Bothbeams are instrumented with load cells, which measure force and moment reactions that occur atthe support(s).
