inferences [1].When students are outside of the classroom, achieving that quality of interaction is challenging,but doing so would greatly enhance the students’ preparation for class or follow-through afterclass. In this study we seek to use dialogue videos to foster interactions between pairs of studentsoutside of the classroom while working on homework in a flipped bio-transport class (fluiddynamics, heat transport, and mass transport). Thus, our research question is: Do dialogue videosenhance learning and foster interaction between students? In each dialogue video, a student/tutee works an example problem while the instructor/tutorassists the tutee and ensures that the tutee thinks out loud. Monologue videos, instructor only,were also recorded

In general, the proposed study will consist of a grade comparison between students whotook the introductory course in the three years before the inclusion of engineering math contentand those who took the introductory course in the two years after the addition of engineeringmath content.IntroductionIn 2004, Klingbeil, et al., introduced a model of an introductory general engineering course thatwas application oriented and incorporated a hands-on approach [1]. The model was originallydeveloped to increase retention and motivation within the engineering field. The outcome of thisstudy is referred to as the

Thus, prosocial goal congruity, especially as a function of work-goalaffordances, can spur motivation of all students, but especially those currently underrepresentedin the engineering workforce (Thoman et al., 2015). Figure 1. Goal-Congruency ModelThe engineering profession is often misperceived as not affording prosocial value. Indeed,engineering embodies the stereotype of individuals working in isolation with a singular focus ontechnology (Cheryan, et al., 2013; 2015). While there are certainly parts of engineering thatinvolve working alone, 21st century engineering problems are predominantly solved by teamsworking collaboratively to create

This paper presents a novel oral communication curriculum that is being developedand tested at Montana State University (MSU). The program, called the “STEM StorytellersProgram”, uses a transformative approach to training graduate students that pulls knowledgefrom the journalism and performing arts community. Our program has three specificcomponents: (1) creating jargon-less podcasts; (2) receiving training from an improvisationalactor on stage presence; and (3) presenting at “curiosity cafes” to audiences from the generalpublic.

American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Increasing the Spatial Intelligence of 7th Graders using the Minecraft Gaming Platform (Work in Progress)IntroductionSpatial intelligence, operationalized for this study as the ability to make spatial judgment andvisualize, has been shown to be significantly correlated with achievement and retention inSTEM[1, 2]. Yet despite the role spatial skills play in STEM success, it is an area that receiveslittle precise instructional focus in K-12 contexts. Spatial intelligence has also been shown to beone of the only areas in which males outperform females[3], with noticeable differencesemerging in the middle school years. This difference has been suggested to be a

For example, time-based two-dimensional images can beused to explain how the fluid flows under different conditions [3], [4]; three-dimensional modelscan be used to illustrate the chemical structure of DNA [5]. The learner can also interact withthese images or models to pick up essential knowledge or information from the prescribedresponses [6].

Traditionally, engineeringdesign is taught as a means for students to synthesize their engineering content knowledge incapstone courses. These design courses are usually successful, in that the students do well, theycome up with innovative solutions, and they are satisfied with their school experience and feelready for the real

When teams consider safety, societal, andenvironmental risks, they have considered, at least at a cursory level, the harms that theirdecisions may cause and how a redesign could mitigate or remove those harms.The questions the authors seek to answer are: (1) Were students able, after seeing examples, toconsider risks related to harms that their designs may cause? (2) Did the balance of risks relatedto technical and resource challenges, compared with risks related to harms that could be caused,vary

professionally.BackgroundAdditive manufacturing (AM) is a growing trend in both industry and academia [1-4]. Anytraining in AM thus necessarily focuses on preparing the country’s professional workforce for apossible renaissance of U.S. skilled manufacturing by creating new personnel proficient in it.This then creates an obvious goal for any college of engineering. AM is mainstream [1]; it hasthe potential to bring jobs back to the U.S. [2] and add to the nation’s global competitiveness [3-4]. Additive manufacturing is a class of manufacturing processes where material is deposited in alayer-by-layer fashion to fabricate a three-dimensional part directly from a computer-aideddesign model [5]. It was first demonstrated more than twenty-five years ago, but it hastransformed

The heat sink effect is alsoanalyzed using transient thermal-mechanical analysis. The predicted welding distortion is inreasonable accuracy as it correlated with test data.1. IntroductionDue to many desirable properties of aluminum material (such as low weight-to-strength ratio andexcellent resistance to salt water corrosion), the aluminum has been increasingly used in vehiclestructures, such as cradle. The cradle is a welded structure to mount engine in a vehicle. Besidesextrusion, Metal-Inert-Gas (MIG) welding is a primary manufacturing process for aluminumcradle.

IntroductionOver recent years, many manufacturing engineering or technology graduates work in positionsrequiring familiarity with computer-aided engineering analysis as well as design andmanufacturing process. They are asked to utilize commercial software for simpledesign/manufacturing analysis, such as performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in fixture andtooling design to ensure required function. The main reason for this shift is integration ofanalysis at early stages of

It is observed that the welds arean important factor in this simulation and rigid modeling is feasible. This project also serves as acase study to the students in predicting fatigue failure of a real industrial part.1 IntroductionAs shown in Fig. 1, a typical automotive rear suspension consists of the v-beam, v-reinforcement, stabilizing bar, spring seat, spring seat reinforcement, jounce and jounce stop,knuckle, spacer, shock mount, shock nut, trailing arm, sleeve and bushing.

This project gives students an integrated understanding of topics in statistics,tolerance analysis and manufacturing applications as well as the opportunity to be involved in anindustrial project.1 IntroductionThe ability to assemble components depends on the dimensions of each component. In an idealassembly process, it would be best if each component were identical and perfect such that theycan be interchanged. However, each component has dimensional variation resulted from itspreceding manufacturing process. Hence, the manufacture of interchangeable componentsrequires a
