Thus far, their findings demonstratethat parents play a pivotal role in children‟s education.1, 2 Many societies have alsoacknowledged the importance and benefits of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) education for international leadership roles in the 21st century global economy. AmongSTEM disciplines, increasing the focus upon engineering education is a recent and growingtrend.

Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Service-Learning Projects in 35 Core Undergraduate Engineering CoursesAbstractThe College of Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML) has integratedservice-learning (S-L) into many of its core required undergraduate courses over the last threeyears. Projects that meet real community needs and that help students achieve academicobjectives in the courses are difficult to create. Projects for 35 different undergraduate requiredcourses are summarized to help faculty, staff, and students develop S-L projects for their owncourses. Faculty at UML were encouraged to “start small rather than not at all.” Courses andprojects include, for example: first-year introduction to engineering with 340

The four broadareas of evaluation are (1) class participation and attendance, (2) case write-ups and presentations, (3)final executive presentation and (4) special assignments1.” This paper outlines a nearly eleven-yearchronology of the student’s improved performance as I, the instructor, journeyed into the

scope vendors don’t specify their scope’s bandwidth at the Nyquist frequency (fN) – butsome do. However, it is very common for vendors of waveform recorders/digitizers to specifythe bandwidth of their instruments at the Nyquist frequency. Let’s now see what can happenwhen a scope’s bandwidth is the same as the Nyquist frequency (fN).Figure 4 shows an example of a 500-MHzbandwidth scope sampling at just 1 GSa/s whileoperating in a three- or four-channel mode.Although the fundamental frequency (clock rate)of the input signal is well within Nyquist’s criteria,the signal’s edges contain significant frequency Aliasingcomponents well beyond the Nyquist frequency(fN).

This paper argues that spatial skills testing and training interventionsare a misuse of the time and energy of people who want to help women and other historicallyexcluded students succeed in engineering. We must reframe our interventions withoutperpetuating deficit models about cognitive abilities like “spatial skills,” a construct which, inspite of its wide popularity in the STEM education community, has been very poorly formulated.References[1] S.

?AbstractService-learning (S-L) has been integrated into an average of 30 engineering courses every yearsince 2004 in five undergraduate departments. Forty-three faculty members have tried S-L, overhalf the engineering faculty. In 2010-2011, 1267 students (out of an enrollment of 1600) engagedin S-L projects in 33 courses contributing an estimated 49,500 hours to the community. Thisapproach to trying to develop better engineers and more engaged citizens was motivated by thegrowing body of research showing widespread benefits of S-L, the meeting of academicobjectives through addressing real community needs in credit-bearing courses. But what do thestudents who are part of this program think about S-L? In this study surveys of student viewswere collected
