% improvement inthe reduction of single department capstone programs over 11 years indicates that more workremains in order to achieve multidiscipline engineering capstone programs.This manuscript documents and reflects upon the University of Maine MET program’s progresstowards multidisciplinary capstone. These efforts were realized via two distinct avenues: (1) theintroduction of five MET projects having significant electromechanical components; and (2) theintroduction of an MET-EET multidisciplinary project. Both types of projects are reviewedwithin this work.2. Background2.1 Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) ProgramThe University of Maine’s MET program capstone spline consists of 2 courses ‒ MET 464 (2credits) in the fall semester, and MET 465

In addition, through the projects, companies getinsight into new technologies and process which are used to solve their problems. Thisinteraction is an important part of the NIU Department of Technology operations and we havedeveloped great relationships with many of the regional companies. This avenue between NIUand industry is expanding in the types of projects undertaken and the numbers of companies withwhom we work. Through industry interaction all parties win!References1.

Furtherhe suggested that if learning is to be successful it requires the learner to take an active role in thatprocess 3. John Dewey believed that “reflection involves not simply a sequence of ideas, but aconsequence—a consecutive ordering in such a way determines the next as its proper outcome,while each in turn leans back on its predecessors.” 4Evolution of Online EducationDistance education, defined as a method of delivering education and instruction to students whoare physically separated from the student, is certainly not a new concept.

They selected from a list of roles andidentities that we provided, and were encouraged to add additional ones, if desired (see Figure 1).They then placed the identities on the three rings of the Identity Circle diagram (Levels 1 through3) to illustrate the centrality of a particular identity to their current experiences; respondentscould also place a particular label just outside the diagram (Level 4).

These results may be reflective of students who have low emotional stability, seek tofollow social norms and conventions, and have abilities to succeed in the “stress culture” ofengineering [63]. Grit-persistence of effort was related to the other affective constructs ofidentity, motivation, and belonging, but Grit-consistency of interest had a weak negativecorrelation with many of the stress indicators. This result may point to differential factors of howGrit may operate in engineering students when compared to the larger populations in which ithas been used previously, like psychology students and adults.

These programs appear to be effective atincreasing the retention and graduation of under-prepared but otherwise motivated andacademically talented students, but it could be that these struggles are reflective of broaderchallenges in attracting women to engineering. Redshirt programs can only help students whoapply - there is clearly more work to be done to encourage women to pursue engineering.While the Redshirt in Engineering model is designed with students from low-incomebackgrounds in mind, it provides a framework for supporting the success of students from othergroups historically excluded from engineering.

The electrons take on a specified orientation that matches thefixed layer’s magnetic orientation. Due to the electron’s spin polarization they will apply atorque onto the free layer causing the free layer’s magnetic orientation to match the fixed layer’s.During this process some electrons will be reflected back towards the pinned
