). Methods and Experimental Design Based on the lack of gains in problem formulation knowledge in first-‐year engineering design courses, two interventions for introductory engineering classes at the University of Virginia were implemented to help students better learn the role of problem formulation activities. Two interventions for the introduction to engineering course at the University of Virginia were introduced in 2009. They were focused on addressing the lack of learning about problem formulation, one through a) exposing students to the their prior knowledge and tacit views about design and the other through b) shifting the motivation away

Researchshowing the need for greater numbers as well as improved retention and success of studentsin these fields is plentiful, especially for women and students from underrepresented groupsin the STEM professions. The goals of STEEP were to increase the number of studentsobtaining degrees or transferring in STEM fields. To attain those goals, a multi-prongedapproach was taken and programs developed specifically for each approach.A. To interest new students in STEM majors; the Summer Energy Academy,B. To prepare existing STEM majors to be successful in their foundational mathcoursework; the Precalculus Readiness and Excellence Program
al. 2 investigates theinfluence of questions and answer order within the exam in student’s performance. Their findingsindicate that random arrangement of questions has little influence in student’s performance. Theyalso noticed the same trend when the answer order is shuffled randomly. However, asymmetricanswer-order distribution (uneven distribution of “A” answers, “B” answers, etc.) might result insubstantial discrimination among the students and compromise fairness (for example, theyobserved that students that receive a large number of “A” responses may have better performancethan students that receive a large number of “D” responses, since they were not introduced to theconfusion of the distractors).2.

This challenge led us to develop an engineering-wide research course which exposes studentsto the research process in a structured, step-by-step manner. The main difference between thiscourse and a more traditional approach is that the research topic is initiated by the student withthe assistance of the class instructors. The student then performs each step of the researchprocess using their chosen topic. Because the student will have an inherent interest in theproblem they choose to solve, we anticipate the student will be exposed to
students at Rochester Institute of Technology and broughtthem very well up to speed which resulted in successful research (publications in top-tierelectrical and computer engineering IEEE Transactions journals for the case study of side-channel analysis attacks and reliability).We have had the following goals in such integration: (a) Exposing the challenges of deeply-embedded system security education; (b) Hardware and software secure system co-design teaching and research integration (in previous work, theory and practice are combined for such purpose: A co-design course applying symmetric key ciphers has been presented6, a helicopter-like robot motion control has been implemented7, and co-design as an emerging discipline in

-A. The fluid from bothstacks is directed into the single channel of this manifold. This differs from the feedingmanifolds as it does not have a blank back.Students used two feeding manifolds, as seen in Figure 10-B, each consisting of three layers ofacrylic (similar to the collecting manifold). This first layer of the manifold (facing the fuel cell)is for feeding the cells the fuel and oxidant, it has sets of two holes that will connect directly tothe fuel cells with Teflon tubing. Then, behind this first layer will be the channels that willprovide the separated fuel and oxidant to the holes described in the first layer. The final layer(facing the case of the fuel cell) will simply be a solid piece of acrylic to enclose the channels inthe
