  • Toward Professional Practice: Student Learning through Participation in Engineering Clubs

    Creator:
    Hinkle, Christopher M.
    Abstract:
    This study investigated learning in three engineering student clubs at a large public university. This included a small-sized chemical reaction car competition, a large-sized formula racing team, and an international humanitarian engineering club. Research methods included observations of work sessions (N=27) and semi-structured interviews (N=19). Using Cultural Historical Activity Theory...

  • User Interface and Database for the Intuitive, Developmental And Research Oriented, Easy To Use, Affordable, And Low Volume (IDEAL) Bioreactor

    Creator:
    Litzinger, Jaelyn W.
    Abstract:
    Expensive pricing for laboratory bioreactors proves to be the main barrier-to-entry for lab-scale academic research. Most laboratory bioreactors are priced at $100K+ and require significant training to use, thereby limiting their accessibility. The IDEAL (Intuitive, Developmental And Research Oriented, Easy To Use, Affordable, And Low Volume) Bioreactor aims to solve...

  • Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Teaching Inclusive Design

    Creator:
    Oleson, Alannah L.
    Abstract:
    Inclusive design is important in today's software industry, but there is little research about how to teach it. In collaboration with 9 teacher-researchers across 8 U.S. universities and more than 400 computer and information science students, we embarked upon an Action Research investigation to gather insights into the pedagogical content...

  • A study of public perceptions of energy issues and technology for the development of engineering education activities

    Creator:
    Hinkle, Nathan
    Abstract:
    Human use of fossil fuels has caused a dramatic shift in the earth’s environment, with global temperatures rising and ecosystem health declining. The need for the human species to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels is apparent. This will be achieved by replacing conventional energy resources with sustainable alternatives, and...

  • Systemic barriers encountered by Latinas in engineering

    Creator:
    Coto, Paula
    Abstract:
    Latinas in engineering face discrimination on the intersectionality of their two identities, Latinx and woman. The barriers that happen to them as an indirect effect of previous or existing institutional systems of oppression are called systemic barriers. Coming from the lens of four subjects, in a ranking of the barriers...

  • Assessing the Maturity of Industrial Engineering as an Engineering Discipline

    Creator:
    Murphy, Thomas W.
    Abstract:
    Industrial Engineering is a broad discipline, with a wide range of definitions for the field and the knowledge areas that make up its parts. A conceptual gap exists between the definition of the field of Industrial Engineering and the definitions of each of these parts. To facilitate advancement of the...
