After earn- ing her M. S. and Ph. D. from the University of Texas at Austin, she completed post-doctoral research with the Institute of Accelerating Systems and Applications in Athens, Greece. Post-academically, she worked for Ansoft Corporation as a research scientist spearheading the development of the next genera- tion code for Ansoft DesignerTM.

0.05 (Table 3). This is in contrast to Stoeger et al.’s findingsthat STEM interest is almost three times higher for boys than girls. The study also concluded thatgirls, although not limited in their ability, need positive mentor or instructor support to overcomeingrained stereotypes (Stoeger et al., 2013). The gender gap in this study may have been closeddue to the STEM focused school culture, various kinds of activities at school in addition to theSTEM extracurricular clubs.Table 3: The impact of gender on STEM perception based on STEM club enrollment p<0.05 Gender Sig.

and OutreachAfter the conclusion of the capstone, the first opportunity to use the system in outreach/researchwas within the Young Scholar Program (YSP), a very successful program lead by the Center forSTEM Education at Northeastern University. The YSP is a 6-week summer program that offersfuture scientists and engineers a unique opportunity for a hands-on research experience whilestill in high school. The program is open to local applicants who have completed their junior yearof high school (i.e. rising seniors). Over the summer of 2016, two rising seniors were assignedto work under the guidance of the PI(s) on a research project related to water reuse. The studentswere also asked to review the content of the website and create additional

BR200 is a required course for our minors in Biomedical Engineering (forengineers) and Biomedical Science and Technology (for non-engineers). BR200’s ethics andwriting components fulfill a university Knowledge Area requirement in Science, Technology andSociety and a two-communication-point one.

Here are some samples of student’s answers (“ISO has 3 standards, selectiveassembly is 100% interchangeability, and reduce machine time but increase cost.”, “The limitationof selective assembly slide was become new information to me. Normal distribution was expected,however, I think it would been hypergeometric.

Hands-on activities and workshops on making foldable structures and modular constructions would raise the importance of the subject and add value of user participation in the process.(3) Knowledge of disasters along with shelter design would empower communities to cope with disasters and construct/reconstruct safe and resilient shelters.(4) Shelter design would give students a higher purpose of serving local communities while engaging the public in participatory learning.References[1] Alegria Mira L., “Deployable Scissor Arch for Transitional Shelters,” Automation in Construction, 43, pp. 123-131, 2014.[2] Bashawri A., Garrity S., and Moodley K., An Overview of the Design of Disaster Relief Shelters, Procedia

We received the strongest responses with “This demo activity was a good use ofclass time” (4.71±0.57) and “This demo was interesting and engaging” (4.68±0.58). One studentshared with us that “I love demos. You are interacting, and you are not just watching a YouTubevideo.” The variation between the responses to the quiz questions and the activity questions maybe explained by Watson et al.’s [30] understanding from previous studies, where students tend toover-estimate their attitudes.We understand that these results are not to be generalized to all groups of environmentalengineering students. The demonstration was tested with a single cohort of students (n=31) fromthe Air-Quality Engineering course. To
expected by chance” [2, para. 1]. The second test was Kendall’s tau to show correlations between organizational successand implementation of a defined process model. Kendall’s tau is a measure of rank correlation.“Kendall-tau is a non-parametric correlation coefficient used to assess and test correlationsbetween non-intervals scaled ordinal variables. Frequently, researchers use the Greek letter τ(tau) to abbreviate the Kendall tau correlation coefficient” [5, p. 14]. Rank correlation is aninteresting method to assess and evaluate the data collection [22]. Kendall’s tau is well knownand broadly used to measure the degree of the relationship between variable [22].References1. Aasheim, C. L., Lixin, I., & Williams, S. (2009). Knowledge

They are focused on bringingindustry representatives into the classroom or into other aspects of students’ academicexperience, either directly through guest speakers and panelists or indirectly through thedevelopment of relevant modules/problem sets that reference professional practice. The pushcomponent is more challenging to visualize because it focuses on a change in the departmentculture and relies primarily on students pursuing opportunities for

Interviewing facultymembers is also a great way to learn more about faculty research and teaching needs while buildingfaculty-librarian relationships. Although course syllabi can provide a great snapshot of course informationand types of assignments and even reveal information-seeking behavior which faculty require for theirstudents, accessing course syllabi may need permission and assistance from the departments [1]. Large-scale surveys of faculty may be a great option as they can provide rich information on faculty’sperspectives.

disciplinesincluding everyday life, not just mechanical engineering. Several temperature measurementsensors are introduced including, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermistors, infraredtemperature sensors, thermocouples, and silicon bandgap sensors. Their application ranges,costs, accuracies and durability are discussed. This affords the students the opportunity todevelop a trade space analysis to select the appropriate sensor(s) for the experiments presented.Understanding trade space analyses generalize to other sensors and more globally for the studentto product design in real-world situations. The students select a minimum of two experimentspresented, each with a different sensor for the measurement of temperature.The learning objectives of this

The game also offers support or prompts to encourage progresswithin the game. While the overarching problem is the same for every student, the path they taketo reach the solution will vary drastically.The proposed PING system combines techniques of statistical inference, cognitive psychology,education research, sensor informatics, and machine learning techniques to provide students apersonalized education process. The contextual problem-solving situation engages students,giving them incentives to succeed in their learning process while allowing them to both beentertained and move
