In terms of Big Data and automation technologies in aircraft the need for the humans toadapt more fluidly are significant in the sense of changing and working through times of suddendisorder and uncertainty [65], [66]. Traditionally structured views of “the round peg goes intothe round hole… that there is only one answer to a question… these structures are moremalleable in modern operations. than we may want admit…ultimately the big data messinessconcept requires the human being to change in order to tap into and harness
2017 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Section Annual Conference A Comparative Analysis of Underrepresented Minority Groups Taking a New First Year Engineering Course (Extended Abstract) 1 David J. Ewing – The University of Texas at ArlingtonAbstractThe University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) enjoys a culturally diverse and rich student bodythat includes many underrepresented minorities and the university has been designated as aHispanic Serving Institute (HSI). As part of its mission, UTA has been seeking strategies toincrease retention of their engineering student population. A new first year engineering coursewas created at UTA in order to address this
about half of the students.Considerable work remains to be done to further assess and refine the course. Information will besought from instructors who teach follow-up courses to determine how students who have takenEAS211 compare to students they have seen previously. Student feedback will be used to makeadjustments in the operational aspects of the course. Page 11.74.13REFERENCES1.

This second survey repeated several of the questions from the pre-experience survey, which allowed us to compare students’ expectations with their experiences,and look for changes in students’ self-assessments of research skills over the 10-week program.Students were also asked about their interactions with their research mentors and the personaland professional outcomes of their summer experience. Appendix B includes a copy of the post-experience survey questions.About 160

Anecdotal evidence from the classroom instructors suggests that this goalwas largely met. However the activity also has associated learning objectives, and the investmentof effort to gamify the activity needs to have a payoff in terms of those objectives.In the absence of a formal, longitudinal, and experimental approach to assessing changes

Finally, predictive models for these technologies are presented andsome simple examples are worked. This approach does an excellent job of addressing thelearning objectives for each energy source. The power point presentations and the predictivemodels presented may be found at the course’s web site: http://www.egr.msu.edu/~somerton/AEnergy/For ocean energy the following learning objectives have been set: a. Students are able to understand the nature of the ocean as an energy source b. Students are able to understand and evaluate different types of ocean energy sources

A student can change the default text to label theSerial data, such as “Sensor Value: ”, and from the dropdown menu either choose to print with orwithout a new line. Please note, in case of Fig. 4, the default block code has been used, where anumber is printed on the serial monitor. In contrast, after the code block configuration as shownon 5 (b), the serial monitor output looks similar to Fig. 6. A student can stack similar serial

multiple-choice selection but also their explanation and response to follow-up questions—to a conceptualstatics question compare across diverse institutional contexts? To address this overall question,we ask more specifically: a. How are student correctness, confidence, and their metacognitive reflections on the question related to their institution? b. What do the student responses suggest about their epistemological frames in learning statics? MethodsQuestion AdministrationFor this study, we selected one concept question which was administered via the ConceptWarehouse [29] (ConcepTest #4606), as shown in Figure 1. The question was delivered to 241students at six

In addition, the question was a poor discriminatorbetween students who did well on the instrument and those who did not, with adiscrimination index that was actually negative (-0.08). Because of this, the question wassignificantly revised in Phase 2, as shown below. Page 14.469.7Radiation Question: Phase 2A person walks toward two diffuse grey

Continental (Senge et.al., 1995 and Porter, 2001).First Semester ImplementationThe first semester for this new course was Fall of2006. It was offered as an elective for seniors.(Next year, it will be a required course forgraduation.) There were two sections. Section Ahad 29 students while Section B had 23 students.Each course developer taught a section. A teachingassistant from the English Department was used byboth sections to grade the written papers relative togood writing principles. The papers were alsoreviewed by the instructors for content.
