In otherwords, most teams did not propose a particularly novel idea to apply to the engine that they wereconsidering. Considering that the internal combustion engine is a well-established technology,this may not be that surprising. However, if the students were as a group inclined to take onmore challenging projects, there may have been more projects along the lines of #9, where agroup attempted to take a newer technological development and apply it to an older engine. (Itshould be noted that project #9 did not
participants were selected for laterinterviews. The study in this paper focuses specifically on disciplinary migration that occursfrom the bachelor’s to the master’s for students whose undergraduate degree is in a Science,Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) field and whose graduate degree is in somefield of engineering, and sets out some characteristics of these students.Literature ReviewStudies have been performed to understand why students switch majors at the undergraduatelevel, especially in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields [1].However, no similar studies have been performed to determine why students switch majors at thegraduate level from what they previously studied in their undergraduate degree.

Algebra and Trigonometry) were not as impressive. Students in the PLTLgroups in College Algebra only had average grades 0.2 points higher than non-participants, while the Trigonometry students demonstrated little impact from the PLTLgroups. This difference may be a result of the students’ self-perceived need for the PLTLgroups, with Calculus-level students seeing a greater need for the groups.In this paper, the format of the PLTL groups is described in detail, and a detailed analysisof the impact of the PLTL groups on the student grades is presented.IntroductionIn the United States today, there is great interest in increasing the number of studentsgraduating from college in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) disciplines
morphological changes to increase surface of an interface as well as using still higher fluence to induce shock waves for mechanical bonding. Steven has also been very interested in educational pedagogies since 1996 when he was the first person at UM to use clickers. He was also the first person at UM to reject clickers. Almost 20 years later, he has, once again, embraced clicker technology now that he has eliminated lectures and has time in class for peer instruction.Dr. Shanna R.

The products were also required to betechnically complex in order to have some intrinsic interest to students and require a broadspectrum of manufacturing technologies to produce.After examining a number of alternatives it was decided that the virtual company wouldmanufacture a range of fire protection equipment. In particular, it would manufacture smokeand flammable gas detectors for commercial applications. These products incorporate theapplication of a range of fundamental engineering topics, such as pneumatics, controlsystems, thermodynamics, and their production required a mixture of design disciplines and avaried range of manufacturing
hostility he faced. Buster’s experience is not uncommon.TehQuin D. Forbes’ states that “there is evidence that science, technology, engineering, andmath (STEM) fields have a particularly hard time retaining queer students. For example, alongitudinal study found that despite their higher reported participation in undergraduateresearch than their straight peers, queer students were about seven percentage points less likelyto stay in STEM majors throughout four years of undergraduate studies [22].” It is well-established that there are significant connections between students’ sense of belonging,establishing an engineering identity, and persistence in engineering programs [23], [24], [25].Identity concealment in engineering spacesGabe remarked that

., and Laanan, F.S.AbstractProject based learning (PBL) has increasingly been promoted as a way to increase studentinterest in the STEM related fields. One such curriculum, Project Lead The Way (PLTW), hasgained increasing popularity in middle schools and high schools. A key objective of the PLTWengineering curriculum is to create a more seamless transition for students from secondaryschool into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics post-secondary programs. PLTWhas been implemented in all fifty states; however, there has been sparse research to-date that hasrigorously measured the impact of PLTW or other PBL curricula on the student’s choice topersist into postsecondary education We used Iowa’s statewide longitudinal data system
