were embedded into the course to help with active-learning activities.The instructor, GTAs, and UGTFs walked around during the group work time to assist groups and/orindividuals with questions. Description of Homework Systems: In Fall 2017, the homework system changed compared to Spring2017. The instructional team developed new homework problems, and a common homework template(example shown in Figure 6 at the end of the paper). The template included an instructor-providedproblem statement and problem illustration. The student had specific places on the page to: a) gatherinformation (givens and unknowns), b) organize their approach, c) sketch the system, d) analyze theproblem symbolically, e) solve the problem with numbers, f) report final

Some of these issues have been identified in broader STEM studies as few studies onfemale faculty of color experiences in engineering and computing fields exist. Therefore, thisstudy serves as the first step in the development of comprehensive survey tool for a more in-depth analysis of the current state of the workplace climate for female faculty of color inengineering and computing. An in-depth understanding of the climate and associated issues willaid in the development of measures aimed at offering a better climate so that female faculty ofcolor in engineering and computing can thrive in their careers.References[1] C.

Further, there is an increased need to be able to communicate and navigate the “business culture and environment” of the company. This topical area had the most bullet points from the discussions. 2. Engineering skills. There was an extensive list of desired skills or abilities. The most prominent were: a. Hands-on, “technician-like” skills including integration, testing, and knowing the limits of hardware. b. Communication skills, especially documentation and producing written procedures.

this course was designed to span the entire duration of the class. Thus,our primary expected outcome is an increase in appreciation for the manner in which droneengineering can be directed toward social good, in particular, and a broader appreciation for thefact that engineering, in general, can also be directed to social good. We expect that continuediterations of this course will increase the students’ understanding of how to align engineeringwork with social good and will also lead to increased enrollment and retention in engineeringprograms.Benefits to Historically Underrepresented StudentsA key long-term goal of our course is an increase in the recruitment and retention of female,Black, and Latinx students in our university’s

have a much better outcome than if I say, ‘You need to do A, B, C,and D.’” She identifies that she had made some modifications based on youth needs. For instance,she gives additional time for investigating mirrors because the youth had not experienced aperiscope before, and she feels they need more time to explore. She also spends less timeexplaining the EDP because participating 8th grade youth have had a lot of experience with it.She views herself more as an “observer” than a director of learning with this group; she does notfeel like she needs to ask a lot of probing questions because the youth are engaged andinvestigating on their own. The educator believes in offering a lot of praise and encouragement to the youth, andfeels
uniquestructure recognizes that early career design is beneficial for students. All ABET-accrediteduniversities maintain a design requirement per ABET learning outcomes B and C for the 2018-2019 requirements [1]. However, our emphasis on design is focused to obtain early engineeringprinciples such as hands-on understanding of force, energy and motion. We believe that thesethree principles are one of the most significant topics to cover at an early stage, as instruction inthese areas can lay the foreground to higher levels of Mechanical Engineering concepts such asstress, strain, tension, torsion, and more - all of which are implemented in the upper-level designcourses at NMT.Course Structure RedesignThe introduction to Mechanical Engineering course was
