Shaking Table II, two accelerometers,and data acquisition kit were used to serve this purpose. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the detailsof the equipment and data acquisition kit. The used accelerometer allows the analysis of severalvibration conditions with measurement of RMS or Peak Vibration Readings over wide range offrequencies, measurement of acceleration up to 490 m/sec 2, with sensitivity of 10.2 mV/(m/s²).MethodologyA team of three undergraduate students enrolled in ET494 (the

future recruitment efforts to attract engineering students with a diverse background,particularly the underrepresented populations. This paper reported progress of the first objective.Introduction/BackgroundThe importance of diversity in the U. S. engineering workforce has been recognized. Lack ofworkforce diversity in engineering fields has been related to the poor recruitment and retentionof educationally disadvantaged students or underrepresented groups in engineering [1]. Researchhas identified factors preventing those students from pursuing and completing a STEM degreeand strategies to increase diversity in STEM programs such as summer camps/bridge programs,pipeline programs, pre-college programs, targeted programs, and integrated approach

opportunities in which to remove barriers for womenwithin the engineering and computing discipline by understanding their experiences and participation in the fields.I. INTRODUCTION Recent reports from the National Science Foundation (NSF) have indicated that while the number of women in Science and Engineering (S&E) related jobs continue to grow, the group remains underrepresented in the S&E workforce relative to their overall presence in the population [1]. The lack of women in STEM transcends traditional narratives on the importance of broadening participation and increasing STEM diversity because of the nuanced issues women face in a male dominated field. Issues concerning women feeling unwelcomed in STEM begin at the academic level and
societal ramifications, inclusion of broad user bases, andperspectives of diverse team members? The National Center for Science and EngineeringStatistics [8] reported that in 2017, the Science and Engineering (S&E) workforce consisted ofthe following: 29% women, 5.6% Black or African American, 7.5% Hispanic or Latino, 19.8%Asian, and 65% White. How can representation of the user base be accurately represented whensuch representation is not present in the career fields (see Table 1)? The recruitment, retention,and inclusivity of underrepresented groups within STEM education programs is a problem wecontinue to face, but if the representation in the classroom is skewed, then the demand forenlightenment and acknowledgement of diverse users must
either a DC motor or Stepper motor to determine torque and/or speed relationships in a weightlifting experiment. This latter experiment introduced auxiliary power requirements and motor controllers. This module was introduced fairly early in the course since most students needed to use some form of motor as a control mechanism in their open-ended project. Inclusion at this point of the course allowed students the chance to develop familiarity with the motors in line with the design schedule. Learning the applications of each motor type helped the student select appropriate motor(s) for their open-ended project.Module 4: Aerosol Concentrations.

observations. Finally, complexity had the lowest number ofobservations at 18; this constitutes only 8% of the total observations. The results showed that average scores in all 3 phases of the course and the final score havedecreased in recent years. The results of Welch's T-Test demonstrate that Spring 2019's averagehas been significantly lower than all other previous semesters. The box plots also demonstrate thatthe median results for each phase and final score of Spring 2019 are outside the box range of someprevious semesters. This suggests that there might be a significant difference between them, butthis result needs more investigation to understand how significant the difference may be.Additionally, the boxes leading to Spring 2019 have
