STEM career aspirations tend to decline over time; however, there are clear individualdifferences in changes in STEM career plans, which fluctuate for many students [24]. In theexpectancy-value model, we frame career aspirations as an achievement behavior choice thatfollows the development of STEM identity and precedes behavior (i.e. pursuing a STEM-relatedcareer).Current StudyWe explore the relationships among objective STEM preparation and STEM

DOE is a great tool that can helpwith the basics of planning efficient and effective experiments and then gives a methodology for analyzingthe data obtained by such experiments. In DOE the experimenter changes controllable variables of thesystem or process and then analyzes output data to make inferences about which variables are significantand responsible for the changes observed, as shown in Figure 1 [2]. For that reason, DOE is a powerful toolwhen studying complex systems, such as heat exchangers. Figure 1: Generic

This transition would be a smooth transition as the student already have gainedprior experience in working with 8-bit microcontroller in its pre-requisite course (2xxx level)offered in the program while keeping the overall scope of the course same. The plan wasshared with and approved by the curriculum committee members.Thus, the author decided to redesign the course “Advanced Embedded System” offered in theauthor’s ECET (Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology) program.This paper describes the modification of the course materials related to a 32-bitmicrocontroller along with its salient

In the first implementation, improved undergraduate student interest inresearch/teaching, and self-perceptions of teaching and leadership skills were observed. Thesecond implementation examined the perceived relative benefits of the various conventional andunconventional learning techniques employed in the course.

What is more active than having to sign onto the class website, and take the time to link the various extra resources the professor hasprovided? This paper will describe a work in progress to use Blackboard’s tracking tool toassess this active construction of knowledge which can be linked to the “Recognition of need forand ability to engage in life-long learning”. At the initial stage our plan does not create avalidated predictive instrument, but tries to compare the grades of students who utilize theresources available on a very interactive Blackboard course website to those who do not andinfer that this will contribute to choices to engage in

The paper begins first by brieflyreviewing the design as a “thought” process, focusing on several dimensions of “designthinking” and how “design thinking” skills are acquired. Second, the paper reports on thedevelopment, implementation, and subsequent evaluation of a senior design course at aninternational university, where practitioners have played a major role in planning and teachingthe capstone course. The new, restructured design course, co-taught by practitioners from theRegion, has met its declared objectives and exposed students to professional practice. Thisindustry-driven experience has also

First, itinvolves engineering students with the aviation science program faculty who asks thatthey study a problem that they are not necessarily familiar with. Secondly, theengineering and design of the project is to investigate alternative brakes and controlsystems.
