Students researched water quality problems inthe developing world and defined methods to test for pathogens and contaminants. Since it wasunclear, before the visit, what problems the community may be experiencing, the studentsdeveloped a strategy to test for basic watershed parameters for the assessment visit. Plans toinclude more advanced tests, such as arsenic, were to be accomplished in later visits. Studentsalso constructed two prototype solar cooking devices and tested them to compare to an analyticaltransient heat transfer model developed by the team.

Many institutions have applied funds from this program either exclusively or along with otherfinancial resources to support academically talented low-income students.Although research supports the positive impact of financial support on recruitment, academicperformance, retention, and graduation rates of STEM students [6], [8]–[14], financial supportalone is not enough for student success and retention.

For students majoring in science, mathematics, and engineering, thegreatest attrition occurs between the freshman and sophomore years1. Learning more aboutstudents’ perceptions of their core courses will enable us to improve these courses, as well aspositively influence the retention of engineering students.

Therefore, an assessment has been completed todetermine if the PTCs are worthwhile and practical documents for the students to increase theirknowledge of measurement techniques and test uncertainty.

Though collaborative, student-led inquiry and peer-teaching has been shown to supportmultiple learning outcomes, it remains unclear how much support students need in laboratorycourses and how such pedagogical methods can influence students’ confidence in their learning.In this approach, inquiry-based learning followed by peer-teaching was used in a QuantitativePhysiological Signal Analysis Lab course for 4 offerings.

Our education should focus on preparing our students to develop the new machines and systems that they will build in the middle of the 21st century. 2. We should help our students prepare themselves to be makers, discoverers or positioned along this spectrum, and we should teach engineering fundamentals as a foundation for careers in both research and practice. 3. We should build our education around the way our students learn best, engaging them in their learning, and implementing pilots to understand the desirable balance of classroom, project, and digital education for the digital natives. 4.

Do MGUDS-S scores actually have a stronger correlation with students’ ‘self-described’ satisfaction than the traditional ‘how would you rate this course out of 5’ Likert-scale satisfaction questions?3.

. However, these very traits oftenlead to problems when building large scale software systems. As has been reported by Felder[2], most engineering students tend to be introverted and sensing in their nature. This makes itdifficult for students to interact with others and can lead to problems when building complexsoftware systems. Software engineers often fail to understand the human aspects of the systemsthey design, yielding non-optimum results when finished.We know from the research that appropriate requirements gathering, and elicitation are critical tothe success of software engineering projects. Efforts in effectively defining requirements pay offin both faster deliveries and more successful projects [3]. Thus, it is essential that a
