Denson, Cameron D.; Jones, Tamecia R. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2022
Formal learning environments have struggled to introduce STEM content and STEM careers to students from underrepresented populations. This problem is exacerbated when dealing with students who live in rural areas where access to quality materials and instruction is limited. The eMentorship project is an innovative approach to mentoring that…

Devine, Kevin; Chang, Yi-hsiang Isaac; Klitzing, Gunnar – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2019
Recent developments in Virtual Reality (VR) technology has prompted the manufacturing industry and software vendors to investigate VR's potential for process enhancement. In this paper, we present a study to investigate whether using VR could reduce an individual's cognitive workload during the process of programming an industrial robot. The…

Denson, Cameron D.; Kelly, Daniel P. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2018
Research on self-efficacy has provided evidence that it is a moderating factor that positively impacts students' choices to pursue and persist in engineering. Engineering graphics is seen as the preferred method of communication for the profession, yet to date no instrument is available that measures students' self-efficacy as it relates to…

Webster, Webster; Kopp, Richard – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2018
An antique phone booth was converted into an interactive Virtual Reality (VR) booth to use for potential student recruitment, current student demonstrations, and community outreach. Satisfaction data was collected using a HappyOrNot Smiley Terminalâ„¢. In total, 215 users provided feedback on their VR experience over 142 consecutive days. Eighty…

Kelly, Daniel P.; Ernst, Jeremy V.; Clark, Aaron C. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 2019
Part of a more extensive National Science Foundation-funded study, this study presents the findings and analysis of the effect on three-dimensional modeling self-efficacy (3DSE) by the inclusion of online active learning modules (ALM). Using multiple datasets, we found that the use of ALM in an introductory engineering graphics course, closed a…
