Neither of the firsttwo required engineering courses (E4, Introduction to Design, and E59, Introduction toEngineering Systems) involve substantial amounts of detailed design informed by technology, somost students don’t get a sense of “what engineers really do” until far into their studies. Facultyhave observed that sophomores struggle in the Engineering Systems course partly due to a lackof context and practical applications for the theory of systems analysis. Moreover, the requiredCore computer science course focuses on Python; engineering majors are presently not requiredto learn C programming, limiting their ability to work

Matlab was still being used to calculate and visualize results, the new lab activities motivate students to practice a variety of valuable research and communication skills.  Regular homework and testing is also important to ensure that students retain theoretical material underlying the physical/virtual experiments. Lab activities are not meant to be a substitute for sample problems in lectures or homework, but rather a supplement. Students find that the analysis practice through calculations in assigned problems is critical to gaining a mastery of course concepts.  In implementing physical experiments in a structural dynamics course, time management during lab instruction is critical.

Or should the coursebe designed to learn a specific computer language, such as MATLAB, as an example ofan engineering tool (5, 6, 10, 22, 26, 28)? Alternatively, the course could be structured toteach algorithmic thought processes (10, 14, 20, 31-34). No one way is best and anycomputing course should address all three to some extent. The implementation of acomputing course, however, does need to be tailored to the objectives and backgroundsof the students. For example, the lecture-homework-test progression may be excellent ataddressing an applied math objective, while short programming assignments may addressthe learning of syntax.

The enhancement canbe attributed to the facts that the students have to design the procedure for running thetest and collecting data, they need to look at the problem from multiple perspectives andas engineers, they deal with solving practical issues related to the problem. The otherfactor that plays an important role in improving the learning is that the students have topresent their results; these presentations are critiqued by faculty, graduate teachingassistants, and peer students.Two sets of student evaluations were administrated during the semester, one at themiddle of the semester after the completion of three experiments related to themechanical part of the lab, and one at the end

For these reasons, there is a steep decline in the number of Black and Hispanicstudents graduating with a STEM degree from Baccalaureate institutions [7]. Classroom culture is shown to have a significant impact on the success of Black andHispanic students in higher education and in STEM in particular. Specifically, when Black andHispanic students feel like they have learning and supportive spaces to develop their STEMidentities, they are more likely than their peers who do not have access to such spaces toacademic persist in the STEM field [8].

best practices and beliefs about extrinsic motivation have been failing for decades --and that it is time for a new approach?2. High Employee Turnover (Employees move on for different reasons): With the absence of Deming's SoPK lens, high levels of turnover should be expected because employees are not engaged, nor really a part of the team. Research shows that high pressure tactics, used by some managers to demand or control certain behaviors of employees, increases the voluntary turnover [10]. Absence of Deming's Leadership approach means managers cannot really tap into the talents of people by setting up learning PDSAs. Lacking an understanding of the variation between people means that managers are taught to believe they can
