Paper ID #7250Lessons Learned by the Aerospace Engineering Department at Texas A&MUniversity Following Its First Summer Camp for High School StudentsMr. David B Kanipe, Texas A&M University A native Texan, David Kanipe was born in Corpus Christi and attended Texas A&M University beginning in September 1966. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering in May 1970, followed by a Master of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering in August 1971. He suspended work on a Ph.D. to accept a position with NASA at the what was then called the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston in November 1972. After

Finally, the instruction can be repeated and reviewed ifstudents need repetition to grasp and retain instructions.One of the roadblocks to the extensive development of computer-based training has been therequired investment of time. The development of real-time screen capture technology hasreduced the investment of time to that of classroom instruction with the advantage that it can bedelivered asynchronously outside of the classroom. Four courses were identified in themechanical engineering curriculum where significant teaching of engineering software wasrequired. Pro-Engineer is taught in a Freshman Engineering Graphics course, MathCAD andWorking Model
provided insight into the retentioncharacteristics of first-year engineering intents. Some initial observations include the following:changes in the format and content of the material presented in the first semester appear to affectretention rates, particularly for women; women drop the course at a higher rate than men; andwomen appear both to enter engineering programs for reasons different than men and to express alower level of confidence than men with respect to the technology-related skills and experiencesthey brought to the course. These observations have encouraged us to consider modifications tothe course, continuing to focus on the primary goal of improving the quality of the learningexperience, while also addressing student retention

byconvergent thinking and both types of thinking have been explored for an appropriate amount oftime. The act of developing an engineering design process, which is a balance of divergent andconvergent thinking strategies, can be an obstacle to problem solving and is not intuitive. It is forthis reason that teaching the engineering design process and helping students overcome thisobstacle is necessary in engineering education.Using Video as DataVideo recording technology is a data collection instrument which allows researchers to collectboth auditory and visual information and re-enter the study environment even after the study isdone [1, 18]. Data can be extracted and carefully selected from the video recording for a more in-depth analysis of specific

Paper ID #41765An Alternative Methodical Approach and Its Effectiveness to Learn Changeof Basis Matrices in an Engineering Linear Algebra ClassMeiqin Li, University of Virginia Dr. Li is an Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia. She obtained her Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Texas A&M University-College Station in 2017. Dr. Li holds a strong interest in STEM education. For example, she is interest in integrating technologies into classrooms to bolster student success, creating an inclusive and diverse learning environment, and fostering student confidence by redeveloping course curricula and assessment
assessmenttools and a training course to improve students’ three-dimensional spatial skills. Similarly,knowing how forces are represented visually in diagrams is a skill that successful engineeringstudents have. However, many college students have difficulty understanding how physics-basedprinciples are represented visually. As a result, the types of problems assigned in courses likestatics and thermodynamics that utilize these visual representations may be one reason theseclasses are perceived as difficult. Wai et al.6 provide evidence that spatial ability is also importantin other STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines

that Hispanic students in our study were more likely to give thehighest rating to their facilitators for showing concern, dividing time equitably, and providingmentorship. On the other hand, Asian students were much less likely to give the highest ratingfor each of those questions. Additionally, we did not find a statistically significant effect whenexamining the intersection of facilitator and student racial and gender identities on sense ofbelonging. Overall, emergent patterns from this paper show that we have made great progresstowards creating inclusive learning communities that support all students across genders andethnicities.IntroductionDespite the high rate of growth in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)jobs and
