Paper ID #22827Motivating STEM Participation through a ’Making as Micro-manufacture(M3)’ ModelMr. Osazuwa John Okundaye Jr, Texas A&M University Osazuwa is a first year PhD student at Texas A&M University. He is a part of the Texas A&M Embodied Interaction Lab (TEILab). His research is motivated by the idea of an embodied conception of the mind. He comes from an interdisciplinary background having earned a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Masters of Science in Visualization afterward. He is versed in engaging the theoretical aspects of Human- Computer Interaction while able to engage in computer
) I can succeed (earn an A or B) in an advanced engineering 5.66 (1.30) course.C. Participants Participants in the study were students who identified as engineering majors in theirjunior or senior year of study at the urban research institution. The majority of participantsidentified as male (81%) and nearly three-quarters of participants identified as White (74%);these proportions are reflective of the engineering student population at the institution. Transferstudents comprised a little over half of the sample (55%), with a plurality of students reportingthat neither parent had obtained a college degree (38%). Based on lack of racial/ethnic diversityin the sample, researchers did not examine differences in
Rubric Criteria for“overall effectiveness” (see Appendix B).The writing instructor met with each team to share the feedback and discuss how the commentsmight be used to revise the proposal. Teams were encouraged to send working drafts of revisions 3to the writing instructor, who provided ongoing feedback during the revision process. Studentsscheduled follow-up meetings as individuals or teams to discuss revisions-in-progress or torequest additional resources.Data Collection and AnalysisData collection began during the Senior Design Presentation when each team was asked tocomplete a note card in response to two prompts: (1) How is the design process like the writingprocess? and (2) How did the
(those that best minimize the Within Sum of Square value, 𝑊𝑊, for the applied science course’s pre-surveys (N = 1,865). A total of 31 criteria (of 1000) provide adequate group separation (that is, having 𝑊𝑊 < 0.36 according to [5]).It is interesting to note the different response patterns of the students in different groups and tocompare them with those of the entire applied science class. First, Figure 3(b) (the middle column of6Figure 3) shows the mean values for the 15-dimensional feature vector for all students in Course 1.We will be comparing the groups identified by 𝑛𝑛-TARP with this “baseline profile” (Figure 3(b)).Figure 3 also shows the response statistics for the first two criteria shown in Figure 2 (i.e., Group 1and

Figure 2.a represents a word cloud representation ofanswers pertaining to concepts learned inside their major. Interestingly, human-related topicswere by far the most common answer provided, a pattern that is likely quite different than thatobserved in students taking standard programming or engineering courses.

a flipped classroom can be difficult for teachers. Time is needed to developinstructional materials for students to view outside of class, in addition to the time required for developingconstructive in-class activities. Teachers who have persisted with this teaching method often report that theirclassrooms are not optimized until the third or fourth implementation. This paper describes the three-yearprogression from traditional lecture style to flipped classroom design of a large enrollment differential equationscourse at the University of Louisville’s J. B. Speed School of Engineering. The discussion section of the paperreflects on specific implementation difficulties of flipping a classroom, and gives strategic suggestions forinstructors

A schematic (Figure 1) ofthe system was distributed by the lead instructor, who provided additional project specificationsand assumptions to be made: 1. The collector is made of a PVC tube array (21.33-mm outside diameter or ½” standard size PVC pipe). The tank is painted black and situated above the PVC solar collection tubes (also painted black for maximum sun energy absorption) and to be located outdoors. 2. The design is based on the following assumptions: a. We would like to raise the water temperature by 12 degrees Celsius. b. Average time duration for active water heating

Method B - Exam Defined Discipline, Practice Limited The next method of discipline specific licensure is based upon the PE exam that a candidate chooses to take. Each discipline is named, but not explicitly defined in most of the jurisdictions with this type of system. If a candidate wanted to practice in multiple areas of engineering, then he or she may need to pass multiple PE exams. Nevada and Vermont have similar systems in place.
