(2) What does the discourse in diverse maker andhacker spaces reveal about how meaning and value are co-constructed around identity, creativity,and the culture of production / the production of culture in engineering? (3) What best practicesemerge from diverse maker and hacker spaces, and how can these translate to design ortransformation of existing maker spaces on campuses and in communities?Partner Maker and Hacker SpacesTo date we have conducted a preliminary content analysis of websites of six diverse makerspaces (and

Students most recently enrolled in domainlabs during the 2016-2017 academic year wererequired to keep electronic-based lab notebooks(LabArchives Classroom Edition). Before thestart of each lab course, students were provided alink to create their ELN account that was pre-loaded with a daily lab notebook template createdby the authors (Figure 1). The student ELNs werealso pre-loaded with laboratory notebookrequirements (Figure 2) and associated gradingrubric, daily graduate teaching assistant formativefeedback forms, and an example notebook pagetemplate with guidelines for each section.

In 2013, the White House National Science and Technology Councilreleased an ambitious five-year STEM Strategic Plan to coordinate federal investments in STEMeducation targeting five priority areas.1 One of these is graduating one million additional studentswith STEM degrees over the next ten years.

to grades, and we foundthat the correlation between the RESP diagnostic exam and grades was greater for STEM gradesthan non-STEM grades. We found that the diagnostic exam accounted for an incremental 9% ofvariance in STEM grades above SAT performance, but only 1% of incremental variance aboveSAT in non-STEM grades. Moreover, we found evidence of range restriction for both SAT andRESP diagnostic exam performance for Rice University matriculants, further suggesting theutility of the diagnostic exam is at the lower end of the distribution. In summary, our resultssuggest that an additional diagnostic exam written by schools to specifically measure STEMpreparation for their program can be a useful addition to procedures for selecting students

The Naval Postgraduate School developed a videogameCyberCIEGE that uses this approach to teach computer and network security and defense [1]. In2012, the authors at RIT first proposed the idea of using game-based learning and visualizationtechniques to engage students to learn abstract concepts and to explore forensics investigationtechnologies and procedures through interactive games [7, 8].

Further, after the silicone is poured, butbefore it cures, a vacuum desiccator is used to draw out any air bubbles created from filling themold. Finally, an incubator may be used to accelerate the curing process.1, 2Previous Outreach ProcessA previous report adapted this process for use in an outreach effort.3 The one-piece mold wasprinted in advance, allowing elementary students to focus on mixing and pouring the siliconeduring the first session.

This definition contains four basicelements: International awareness, appreciation of cultural diversity, proficiency in foreignlanguages, and competitive skills.”Several conceptual frameworks to describe global competence have been developed. Fantini15has pointed out that most frameworks can be divided five groups: 1) motivation, 2) knowledge,3) skills, 4) context, and 5) outcomes. These include an often cited one by Deardorff, who usedgrounded theory to model intercultural competence, defined as the ability to interact with thosefrom different backgrounds, regardless of location17. Here intercultural competence moves fromattitudes to outcomes. Parkinson has suggested the attributes of a globally competent engineer

Designing, building, and maintaining industrial scale automatedsystems is a complex and challenging task. Student education in this area is hindered due to lack ofindustrial scale equipment to demonstrate how these systems work and how they are integrated. Thispaper describes the design and evaluation of an automated system module (that includes anindustrial-scale controller) and how this module has been integrated with a portable PLC kit to makelearning about automated systems and PLCs convenient and accessible in the classroom and at home.Responses from students suggest that (1) the integration of the automated system module into a PLC kitfor use

When the college restructured and ended all freshman engineering courses, Puccinelli proposed two new multi-disciplinary freshman engineering courses in 2015: A 2 credit hands-on design course, and a 1 credit seminar style course. The hands-on course is now required for half of the engineering college and the seminar informational course is now required for all engineering freshman. Puccinelli is coordinating and
