due to hull volume and weight. As a vehicle’s speed increases, itsdisplacement force is replaced by a hydrodynamic force, and the tunnel boat is said to plane. Asthis occurs, the portion of the hull touching the water, the wetted surface, decreases. At higherspeeds, a less wetted surface is required to support the hull. Sponson width, b, is fixed by thedesigner. As vehicle speed increases, the length of the hull touching the water, l, decreases. Thisincreases the aspect ratio b/l and improves the coefficient of lift of the sponson. As a result, thewetted surface area needed to support the hull decreases up until the limit of the balance ofpower and drag or until the vehicle becomes unstable. Calculations for hull wetted surface andthe
engineering efficacy measure with studentresponses from the 2013 cohort; that analysis produced two distinct factors. For this study, weused one of these factors—the engineering major confidence factor—which captures students’belief in their ability to succeed as an undergraduate majoring in engineering. Items in this factorare: § I can succeed in an engineering major § I can complete the math requirements for most engineering majors § I can succeed in an engineering major while not having to give up participation in my outside interests § I can excel in an engineering major during the current academic year § I can succeed (earn either an A or B) in an advanced physics course § I can complete any engineering

Algebra.Seeking an engineering-focused option, GS Program and the Department of Applied Math(APPM) leaders agreed to develop a Pre-Calculus for Engineers (Pre-Calc) course specificallytargeting preparation for the subsequent engineering calculus sequence. An experienced calculusinstructor, Sara, was recruited from a community college because of her success in preparingstudents, many from backgrounds similar to those of the GS students, for calculus. The GSProgram’s initial Pre-Calc offering was successful. The overwhelming majority of students metstringent requirements (grade of B- or better) for moving into the calculus sequence after onesemester; most of those who did not initially achieve a B- or better grade did so the followingsemester after taking
learning.The DYP ProgramAn innovative, best practices approach, called the “Design Your Process for Becoming a ‘World-Class’ Engineering Student” (DYP) program, has been developed by Raymond B. Landis14 toincrease the quality of the educational experience of first-year engineering undergraduatestudents. Typically, approaches to increase the nature and quality of undergraduate educationexperience are focused on instructional and/or curricular changes. The DYP program is differentin that it focuses on what the students can do themselves to become self-regulated students andtherefore are not only more likely to graduate with an engineering degree but also with a higherquality, i.e. with a higher GPA. Self-regulated learning (SRL) is the process that a

Topics included geometry, mathematics tricks and shortcuts, division, exponents, square roots and logic. Entrepreneurship: Participants were introduced to entrepreneurial ventures through topics like marketing, financing, business models and visits from local technology entrepreneurs. Final Project: In the fourth week, participant teams were asked to develop an entrepreneurial venture. The teams brainstormed and refined a concept that integrated an app, a 3D model, business plan and a website or social media page. Ventures ideated were a) Customized key chain with GPS locator, b) Online

train students in fabrication [13], [14].Finally, rather than a forward engineering approach to teaching design within the context of anopen-ended project, design was instead learned through the reverse engineering approach ofproduct archaeology [8], [9]. This enabled us to move some of the learning that previously tookplace in time-intensive projects to a more traditional classroom setting. Two productarchaeology reports were generated by each student team. The first was due mid-term and wascompleted out of class. The artifact on which this mid-term report was written was the “Oral-B®3D White™ battery powered toothbrush” (Walmart product number 553890159). The secondproduct archaeology report was generated in real time during the 3-hour final

womanist identity forWOC studying engineering?RecruitmentParticipants who identified as female and currently enrolled in the college of engineering will beeligible to participate. However, the results and analysis in this paper focuses on women of color(WOC) as defined by US racial or ethnic minorities, specifically Black/African American,Latina/o, Native American or Pacific Islander, or multiracial. Participants were recruited in twoways: (a) through engineering professors familiar with the project and (b) through facultyadvisors for targeted students groups (e.g. Society of Women in Engineering (SWE) andNational Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)) with access to member listservs. Students in theengineering professor’s courses were informed about
certain amount of the testing set and had anaccuracy of 100%.In addition to recommending a set of courses for students, the decision support system is able todetect an interesting pattern regarding a helper course, pre-calculus. The decision support systemrecommends students predicted to have a FS GPA of CT or below to have a B or higher in pre-calculus. This rule is further investigated by studying two cohorts of students with a FS GPA ofCT or below, students that did not stay past four semesters, and students that did stay for at leastfour semesters. The authors studied the grades students received when taking pre-calculus asshown in Table 4. The provided analysis shows that students who receive a B or higher for pre-calculus tend to stay past
format. Students were assigned randomly into four groups at the beginning of the semester. Twoof the groups (1 & 2) watched the new lectures, and two of the groups (3 & 4) watched the original75-minute lectures (n1=14, n2=16, n3=15, and n4=17). Groups 1 and 4 took version A for the pre-test, and version B for the post-test; whereas, groups 2 and 3 took version B as the pre-test andversion A as the post test. Each quiz had four questions regarding content presented in both of thevideo lecture formats. After completing the pre-test students were directed to watch the firstlecture, or set of lectures, and then return to take the post quiz. After completing the second post-quiz, students were asked to complete the attitudinal survey

play with, (b) the app provided immediate feedback, and (c) thecompetitive features made the app more engaging. The other student from the experimentalgroup expressed, however, that the app was less motivating because the pencil and paperactivities were required in the course, whereas the use of the app was optional.These findings also paralleled themes based on answers to the open-ended survey question, “Iwould have played the AR app more if ...”. Of 26 responses, eight stated that they would haveused the AR app more if it offered a larger variety games and options. Two students explicitlystated closer alignment with course tasks and homework problems as a possible motivator,besides technical concerns such as bugs and battery drain, as well
