students were given kits containing 1 microfarad, a 2.2 kW resistor, and an ADALM1000 device. The connection layout shown in Figures 4a and 4b was used as a setup guide withthe software. The steps followed by the students to set up these circuits includes: Set the minimumand maximum values of channel A of the arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) to 0.5 V and 4.5V, respectively, to apply a peak-peak square waveform centered on 2.5 V as the circuit's inputvoltage. The source voltage measure current (SVMI) mode was chosen from the AWG A drop-down menu as a square waveform menu. Channel A's frequency was set to 15 Hz, and Hi-Z modewas chosen from the AWG B mode drop-down menu. CA-V and CB-V were chosen for displayfrom the ALICE curves drop-down menu

Paper ID #39662Understanding the Male Student Perception of Culture Climate for Womenin Engineering EducationMs. Alexis Nicole Barney, Iowa State University I am an undergraduate student at Iowa State University, studying Math Secondary Education. I began my studies as an aerospace engineering student and quickly noticed a chilly culture climate for women studying engineering. I decided to conduct research on the topic to see how the dominant group (white- male students) views these issues and what are they doing to solve them. Furthermore, I explored what could be done to improve the culture climate for minoritized groups

Theparticipant group included two female students and three male students; self-reported ethnicityincluded White/Middle Eastern (Laura), Asian/White (David), and White (Mark, Matt, andElise); all had a GPA above 3.01 (B+ or higher); and only one (Elise) reported having a job offerby the point of the interview.We found that students’ self-assessment of preparedness was often overestimated and a few keycharacteristics separate levels of preparedness, however for this study we do not have data tocompare students with significantly different GPAs and have held the major to ChemicalEngineering in an effort to limit

At the end of the semester, we conducted a student-survey using the rubric shown in Tables 5 and6. Thirty-one (31) students from the Industrial Systems Simulation courses (IE 4353) participatedin this survey. The survey was anonymous to avoid bias in collecting students’ feedback. Thecollected data was analyzed for two major purposes –1) to understand student learning onindividual phases of the project and 2) to understand the student overall learning from this course. (a) (b

Additionally, this allows the faculty member to explore and test a new process andpedagogy for knowledge transfer and course development in real-time, where the coursebecomes a pilot for potential concentrations/specializations or core-curriculum courseworkwithin the program once refined.The future work and extension of this research would be on analyzing the student learningoutcomes of the students enrolled in the course. In addition, 8 of the students have an A grade, 5have a B grade, and 1 has a C on this course. The author would offer the course again withupgraded materials and collect data

To further enhance the findingsof the study, it would have been beneficial to include various courses across engineeringdepartments.The authors utilized open coding to organize data into categories. According to Creswell, opencoding “involves taking data and segmenting them into categories of information” [32]. While allthe data gathered from the survey provided useful information, the open coding process wasrepeated multiple times to slowly reduce the number of categories that became the major themesfor each.

For example, a student quantifies external forces acting on an engineering object (Figure1.a) and uses these values to infer internal forces acting within an engineering object.Decomposed into principal components, the forces acting along the x, y, and z dimensions areformally represented using symbols, diagrams (e.g., free-body; Figure 1.b), and equations(Figure 1.c). While these formalized ways of quantifying and equating forces offer valuable toolsfor modeling and analysis, they also distance students from embodying their understandings.Progressive formalization advocates that physical
