S-L is a pedagogy in which student learningobjectives and real community needs are met in a credit-bearing course. In engineeringthe integration of S-L into any courses, much less existing core courses in a curriculumdoes not match the penetration in other disciplines.

However,in many engineering disciplines, individuals have more earning potential and career trajectoryoptions with a master’s degree. In this paper, we identify several categories of barriers and lessonslearned to launching an S-STEM focused on graduate students at a large R1 public institution thatmay be useful to other such programs. These include discussions on recruitment of this specializedpopulation of students into graduate school, especially those from other institutions, can bedifficult because i) there are structural and legal barriers to accessing financial information aboutstudents to identify low-income students and ii) smaller institutions may not have the

The poolboiling characteristics are highly dependent upon the water volumetric concentration which canrandomly follow two different types of curves when the water concentrations are in the range of5.3 Vol. % to 7.8 Vol. %. This could be attributed to the dynamics and microstructure of thenanoemulsion fluids, however, more study is needed to further clarify the mechanism behindMeanwhile, the addition of phase changeable water nanodroplets can also greatly enhance theeffective heat capacity of the nanoemulsion fluids by upto 70%.

Stability or lack of stabilityof a control system can theoretically be determined by solving the control system differentialequation(s). The differential equation(s) can be solved numerically. A numerical solution of adifferential equation produces numbers that can be plotted but not an expression. The differentialequations can also be solved by classical differential equation techniques. The classicaldifferential equation solution techniques can be supplemented by using Laplace Transform andusing the MATLAB software to expedite the Laplace Transform formulations.

Studentsreceiving an “A” for exam scores in the 30’s were unlikely to feel proud of their accomplishment andwere highly unlikely to feel that they had learned what the instructor expected. These same students,however, did feel proud when an “A” was based upon an exam score in the 80’s.
