When asked about the qualities of a typical engineer,notable increases (>0.5 Likert points) were seen in categories of (a) works well with people, (b)has good verbal skills (0.87), and (c) has good writing skills (tabulated data not shown).

Kapka, b and Steven Wendel b a Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, b Sinclair Community College Virtual Online Tensile Testing Strength SimulationIntroductionOne of the challenges of educating high school students about tensile strength testing is the lackof available equipment or the non-systematic approach to teaching. It was postulated that anonline virtual simulator may address the issue. This research study was a collaborative effort thatfocused on the development and implementation of an open source, online virtual tensilestrength testing simulation designed to emphasize the equations used as part of tensile testing.The

Thus, we created two new scales: Valuing Diversity within Engineering and InclusiveBehaviors in Engineering.To determine what constructs needed to be addressed in the two scales, we examined literatureaddressing reasons for promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace and school –specifically in engineering; and barriers to participation encountered by students fromunderrepresented populations in engineering For the Valuing Diversity Scale, three constructssurfaced. Specifically, engineers should value diversity to (a) address issues of social justice(e.g. Baillie, Pawley, & Riley 2012), (b) improve the bottom

ESP studentshad higher GPAs in all 4 courses than non-ESP students. The difference in grades between thetwo groups was statistically significant for both Pre-calculus and General Chemistry I. Andsignificantly, no ESP student failed either of the mathematics courses.Moving forwardThese results were presented to the AURAS Internal Advisory Board, which was constituted asrequired for STEP programs of science & engineering department chairs and chaired by theuniversity provost.

Namely,with the new LSM/KI pedagogical structure and substantial portions of class time being devotedto KI sessions, it has become evident that the students must engage very intensely in the assignedpre-work that, in turn, must be carefully thought out and guided, and, most importantly,meaningfully assessed.To this end, one of the faculty team members (B.
