one participant of the LEAD-SEI program stated that “this opportunityallowed him to decide that he wants to be a biomedical engineer”. Another participant statedthat “My experience this year really convinced me that I can actually do engineering and I mostdefinitely plan to study it in college, specifically chemical engineering, which I had not evenconsidered before”. These statements alone suggest that these summer enrichment programs arehelping to create a diversified STEM workforce for the future.Bibliography1. Blumenthal, P. and Grothus, U.

A simplifiedschematic of the current large-scale Pitot-static probe test model is shown in Figure 10. Themodel was constructed from ABS Plastic, and had a diameter of about D = 1.25 in. (31.8 mm),and an overall length of about 14.0 in. (356 mm). One end was hemispherical with a diameter D,and the other end was elliptical in shape.

Each student chose which section to enroll in.The type of students in both classes ranged from new high school graduates to older adultsreturning to school after a long absence. Some students were only taking one class from PSTCCand others where taking a full load. In most cases, the students were planning to complete theirengineering degree at one of the major in-state engineering schools, such as the University ofTennessee or Tennessee Technological University.The online and on-campus classes were similar in that both had access to the online eLecturesand eBook, and took the same exams. However, the on-campus class used a printed textbook forhomework problems where as the online class used

Without sufficient up-front planning the time to actually takethe pictures and write down names is far too high - making it impossible to finish in anyreasonable time. A key enabler is give everyone a number. Just for a day, the students aredepersonalized by a numerical identifier. At the start of the class I’ll take attendance andafter the student says they’re present I’ll tell them what their number is. The numbers startat “1” and go up sequentially (not surprisingly). This step is a crucial one and I stress tothe students that they’d better remember their number.When I begin the picture taking I have my helper positioned at my side, ready with a piece

additional expertise. For example, an engineer might recognize that a particular architectural plan poses significant construction difficulties without having the expertise to devise improved construction or design alternatives. • Understanding implies a thorough mental grasp and comprehension of a concept or topic. Understanding typically requires more than abstract knowledge. For example, an engineer with an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility should be able to identify and to communicate ethical issues arising from a practical case study. • Ability is a capability to perform with competence.

lack of planning by the instructor has resulted in“dysfunctional” teams or groups. For example, group grades often are emphasized and thepressure of grading often breaks down the CL atmosphere. Students simply assigned a mutualtask without supervision and without being accountable for their individual work may succeed,but oftentimes fail as the burden of the task falls on the shoulders of one or two highly gradeconscious individuals. Group members shift their focus from learning to the graded outcome andbegin to respond as individuals concerned about their own graded outcome rather than asmembers of a community concerned about each other’s learning. The goal of effective CL becomes creating and maintaining highly functional teams
