Attendance is limited by the number of computersavailable in a small to medium-sized laboratory (ideally 20 or less) so that attendees may receiveindividual attention. Each element of the recruitment event is designed for a specific purposethat aligns with a best practice to encourage more women to participate in STEM subjects.Introduction The National Science Foundation awarded a four-year, $2,469,000 grant in 2004 toestablish a Regional Center for Convergence Technology (CTC) in North Texas.

It is importantto point out that the focus of the project is to acquaint students with the LCA approach inconjunction with the details of the solar panel life cycle. This paper begins with a brief explanationof life cycle assessment, including streamlined life cycle approaches. In addition, the project usesGABI software to provide much of the data for the analysis.The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) is charged with the task of“Quality assurance in higher education” for programs in applied science, computing, engineering,and technology.

without the knowledge, skills, and confidence required forengineering design success. With these shortcomings in mind, we integrated design experiencesacross our BME curriculum and evaluated student design performance throughout.Methods: Four engineering design project assignments were developed and integrated intosophomore- and junior-level BME laboratory courses, establishing a continuous design thread inthe curriculum. Through the sequence of projects, student teams worked to design (1) fracturefixation plates, (2) electromyogram-controlled motor systems, (3) compact spectrophotometers,and (4) drug dosing devices. We also developed a common instructional Design Module andused it in each course to build student understanding of the BME design

. Especially true in the first year course,where material is rapidly introduced. They want to have a better sense of underlying conceptsthan that which is presented in laboratories. In the Intro to ECSE class, I do find that the moreinvolved students are sometimes unsatisfied with the short attention we can give topics. Anumber of times I did stay late, trying to provide a deeper insight while not overwhelming themwith math. At a higher level, I credit the Circuits Beta labs for strongly encouraging students togo beyond the classroom. I have tried a similar approach in Intro to Electronics, though, withoutquite the same incentives. I still have about 20% of the class doing extra work, some of which isvery creative and beyond the scope of anything I

This new laboratory is intended to be used for Computer Science, Digital and CyberForensic Engineering Technology, and Engineering Technology programs at our university. Withthe availability of this laboratory we have a realistic SCADA/ICS system which can be used tostudy real-life experiments such as penetration assessment and testing, vulnerability assessmentand testing, and the SCADA forensics research.

understanding of physical phenomena,and Aristotle’s ideas are well alive in students’ minds. Many physics concepts and laws arebased on well controlled experiment, such as in vacuum. On the other hand, Aristotelian theoryis derived from everyday life experience, so it is accepted naturally in the 18+ years of students’life experience. Therefore, when the physics concepts and theories are introduced, conflicts arisein students’ minds. The Aristotelian pre-concepts are often more powerful, so it takesconsiderable amount of effort to turn the table around. Lillian C.
