Elizabethtown College School of Engineering, Math, and Computer Science (EMCS) faculty members have recently presented research at several notable conferences.<\/p>\n
Dean of Engineering, Math, and Computer Science Sara Atwood<\/strong> presented two peer-reviewed papers at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) in Minneapolis, Minn. in June. Both papers, \u201cInternships\u2019 Impact on Recognition for First-Generation and\/or Low-Income Engineering Students\u201d and \u201cThe effects of gender, race, and intersectional identities on the engineering professional identity of upper-year engineering students,\u201d were part of Atwood’s National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded research on the impact of internship experiences on first-generation, low-income students’ identities as professional engineers.<\/p>\n Four professors in the Department of Engineering and Physics \u2013 Jean Batista Abreu, Kurt DeGoede, Brenda Read-Daily, and Tom\u00e1s Estrada<\/strong> \u2013 co-authored, published, and presented two conference papers at the 2022 Annual Conference of the ASEE. The papers focused on the department’s entrepreneurial model for capstone projects.<\/p>\n Batista and Estrada each presented one of the papers, “From Problem to Project: An Entrepreneurial Model for a Three-Semester Multidisciplinary Capstone Sequence” and\u00a0“Implementation of Industry-Inspired Project Management Elements in an Entrepreneurial Capstone Sequence.”<\/p>\n Professor of Physics Mark Stuckey<\/strong> gave an invited talk at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information in Vienna on April 25. Stuckey was invited to discuss his paper, \u201cNo Preferred Reference Frame at the Foundation of Quantum Mechanics,\u201d which he co-authored with Professor of Mathematics Timothy McDevitt, and Professor of Philosophy Associate Professor of Engineering Tom\u00e1s Estrada <\/strong>was a guest speaker for All Star Code, a program for young men of color. Estrada ran a session on the topic of “Mindfulness and Performance,” where he introduced students to basic techniques in mindfulness and discussed the ways it could positively impact their life.<\/p>\n Associate Professor of Engineering Brenda Read-Daily<\/strong> and alumna Morgan Sommers ’21 presented “Environmental Engineering Outreach in High School Advanced Placement Chemistry Classes” at the 2022 Association for Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP) Research and Education Conference on June 30 at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo.<\/p>\n
