She has been involved in both private and government grants as author and project director, and is currently PI of an NSF ATE grant, ”Increasing the Number of Engineering Technicians in Southeastern Pennsylvania.” A major goal of this collaborative effort with Drexel University is to connect for-credit, occupational technician education to workforce development certification programs. She was the faculty advisor to two student teams that made the final round of the NSF AACC Community College Innovation Challenge (CCIC) in 2016 and 2017. She and her students have been involved in STEM related outreach to local community

Some innovative compo-nents of this effort are the collaborative approach to teaching (engineer + architect), the use of televisedlaboratory experiments (as opposed to live demonstration labs) and the use of information technologies forfaculty-student interaction (fax, voice mail and electronic mail). The course is broadcast twice a week(three hours each time) for 12 weeks. Students in the region may watch the lectures at the broadcast time orthey may record them for future viewing. Students living outside the broadcast area subscribe to a systemthat delivers the videotapes by regular mail every week. The course has been offered for three terms and

With thesegoals in mind, the objective of this study was to examine how a newly developed instructionalmodel, known as Argument Driven Engineering (ADE), is related to changes in middle schoolstudents’ attitudes toward engineering and participation in engineering careers. This study ofengineering attitudes is important both for developing effective curriculum and pedagogy forengineering in science classrooms, and also for addressing nation-wide problems with diverserepresentation and participation in engineering degree programs and occupations.In 2012 the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology issued a reportprojecting

increasingmetallurgical/materials design complexity of everyday material systems as a function oftime. Fracture mechanics infers that a structural component is only as strong as its largestdefect. However, with the advancements of materials and manufacturing technologies,achievable mechanical strengths are higher and defect conditions are smaller. High-strength maraging steels that approach about 25% of the theoretical strength of acrystalline solid have critical flaw sizes under reasonable service loads of the order offour microns. Flaw sizes of this magnitude are below the detection resolution limits ofconventional NDE. This situation represents a difficult dilemma!Also, materials engineers need to prioritize fracture toughness in the design of

All three courses require a team project where students redesign an existing productwith composite or plastic materials. Students need to specify materials and processing methods,and evaluate the feasibility and the benefits of their redesign. The success and popularity of thesecourses has led the department to consider developing another elective course on designing withplastics.Although 644 is a Mechanical Engineering technical elective, a third of the course is devoted tothe materials science aspects of composites.
