develop the application, an integrated development environment was needed that had easy-to-use, but powerful graphics and physics libraries, as well as the ability to be optimized forpersonal mobile devices. In addition, the application needed to be accessible by as many studentsas possible, requiring the environment to support development for multiple platforms. Almost allmobile phones run either Android OS, or iOS. So, these were the platforms that the applicationsought to support. With these requirements in mind, it became evident that Unity [19], a popularcross-platform game engine, was an ideal environment to use to develop this application. As agame engine, Unity has many powerful and simple physics and graphics libraries, in addition toa
the game would benefit from collaborationwith educators who can provide insights to a young student’s mind. Moving forward, the authors areworking with more teachers, especially those who do not have a background in aerospace, to obtainfeedback. Hopefully, approvals will be granted soon to allow students playing the game to be surveyed toobtain a richer set of feedback.AcknowledgementsSupport for this project was graciously provided by NSF project REvolutionizing Diversity OfEngineering (REDO-E) (project 1730693).References[1] Data USA: Aerospace Engineers. 2018.[2] Elam, M.

Traditionally, the topics ofmeasurements and instrumentation occur later in the curriculum.

Keepingthese suggestions in mind, the university and community college team begins to research thepossible technology connections. It is here that the development process starts to move frombeing driven by the standards and core curriculum to the high technology applications.After identifying the technology applications that reinforce the science and mathematics lessons
through peer networks, a significant portion of a student’s academic life is experienced as afamily, which provides them with support, encouragement, motivation, guidance and assistanceto persist. Conversely, course difficulty and individual professors with undesirable teachingstyles negatively affected the learning environment. Additionally, the one factor that wascorrelated with students’ overall satisfaction with their collegiate experience was theirsatisfaction with faculty instruction. The current research may not only have implications forHBCUs, but for all institutions educating minority engineers. A premium needs to be placed onthe formation of peer groups.

problem with using rigor as a marker of quality is that it is not built withequity in mind. When discussing rigor in engineering, it is important to look at what is beingmade rigorous for whom and what barriers are in place for certain groups of students.Engineering curriculum is designed assuming that people are not working part-time jobs, havefamily responsibilities, or have chronic illnesses or conditions that prevent them from staying upall night to complete schoolwork [1]. This creates the idea of the “normal” university student. Anormal university student will not have these extra responsibilities on top of their schoolwork.They will be from higher income families, so they do not need to work extra jobs while inschool, healthy enough to

Since all four serve as a faculty advisors on student design projects and Page 9.1327.3two have been past project sponsors / clients, they were well-positioned to evaluate the content ofthe individual survey items.

learning experience and reduce the learning curve. With this in mind the faculty inelectrical and computer engineering program (ECE) decided to thread DSP projects from the 5thsemester to the 8th semester, requiring more rigorous experiments as students progress. Toachieve this goal the ECE faculty has endeavored to introduce several platforms throughout theprogram so that students are well acquainted with software such as C++, MATLAB, andHyperception. We feel that visualizing convolution, correlation, filter responses, FFT’s andother DSP topics substantially enhances understanding of course material. An abbreviatedcourse sequence is illustrated below: 5th semester 6th semester 7th semester 8th semester
Session 3425 Excellence in Product Design Jon C. Dixon Adjunct Faculty Programs in Engineering and Technology Management University of St. Thomas St. Paul, MinnesotaAbstractIndustry strives mightily to provide excellent products. No manufacturer is likely toproduce excellent designs without understanding what is meant in some way by“excellence”. However, it is extremely infrequent to find solid definitions of “designexcellence”.The University of St. Thomas (St. Paul, MN) has established a

Experiments and demonstrations help to clarify conceptsand they allow students to apply theory to practical examples similar to those they mayencounter in engineering practice.However, some of the topics taught in CIVL 130 do not have an associated experiment ordemonstration. We are always seeking additional instructional setups to enhance learning and toincrease the laboratory capabilities. One component of the lab is an experiment design projectthat allows students to demonstrate and test topics discussed in the class. The Fountain Benchwas developed with this need in mind and as a demonstration of what the students can developfor their project. Examples of fluids-related demonstration units developed by

An example item from this scale is, “We enjoy spending timetogether.” Responses for both competitive CM and cohesion were provided on a seven-pointresponse scale, ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Third, team efficacy forinnovation is the belief about the team’s ability to innovate. This construct was developed in thecurrent research with engineering students specifically in mind. The five item scale includeditems such as: “How confident are you that your team can develop new techniques?” and “Howconfident are you that your team can invent new things?” (α = .93, ICC[1] = .29
