Understanding the Productive Beginnings of Engineering Judgement (October 20, 2021 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/87988 87988-21648635@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 20, 2021 10:30am
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

In 200- and 300-level engineering science courses, students are traditionally asked to use mathematical models to solve well-defined textbook homework problems. While these problems are important for practicing mathematical problem-solving, they lack the complexity of ill-defined, sociotechnical engineering projects in the real world. In my current research I seek to bridge this gap between the engineering classroom and engineering workplace by understanding how students engage in the productive beginnings of professional practices and how instructors can support these productive beginnings.   This seminar will focus on one particular practice, engineering judgment, which is the use of mathematical models in design and analysis. I will begin by discussing my background and own personal motivation for this interpretivist research. I will then present my work in progress on the development of a new theoretical framework of the productive beginnings of engineering judgment. This research has been conducted symbiotically with a new innovative type of assignment in which students model a real-world system by making and justifying their own assumptions. I will conclude by outlining my future work on students’ development of macroethical reasoning and formative assessment strategies instructors can use to engage students in the productive beginnings of professional practices.

Naomi Mburu is a DPhil Candidate in Engineering Science at the University of Oxford focusing on heat transfer for nuclear fusion reactors as a Rhodes Scholar. She is also a former NextProf participant and NERS visitor.

Abstract
The development of robust plasma facing components (PFCs) is one of the outstanding challenges to the realisation of electricity generation from nuclear fusion. The PFCs within a commercial tokamak fusion reactor will need to withstand extreme thermal and mechanical loads as well as neutron irradiation for extended periods of time. Currently, liquid metals are being studied as a promising replacement for solid wall PFC’s because they are self-healing and have the ability to absorb plasma discharge that would otherwise reduce the efficiency of the core plasma. Extensive theoretical and experimental work is still needed to fully characterize the tokamak environment on liquid metal flows. Preliminary theoretical work has shown that under fusion-relevant conditions, the poloidal magnetic field has a much stronger effect on the thin-film flow of liquid metal than the toroidal field. However, the comparative magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects on the flow of thin-film liquid metal through poloidal and toroidal magnetic fields have yet to be experimentally quantified.

This talk details the design of an experimental facility to characterize the flow of a free surface, thin-film (1 mm) of liquid metal in the presence of a poloidal and toroidal magnetic field of the order of 0.2 Tesla. A Helmholtz Coil is designed and manufactured to produce a region of roughly uniform magnetic field, and the liquid metal Galinstan is used as the working fluid. The preservation of the Hartmann number (Ha), Reynolds number (Re) and aspect ratio (ε) at fusion relevant conditions guides the development of the physical parameters of this experiment. The experiment is designed to allow for high resolution liquid metal surface and depth analysis, and eventually to explore the added effects of temperature gradients on liquid metal flow in thermoelectric magnetohydrodynamic (TEMHD) conditions.

STEM Incubators: Centering Black Families' Rightful Presence in STEM (November 3, 2021 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/88372 88372-21653523@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 3, 2021 10:30am

Black families act as STEM incubators. Despite stereotypical representations that are often rooted in deficit framing, Black families provide their children access to STEM opportunities, resources, capital, ways of thinking, behaving, and sense-making Scholars have identified that Black parents influence the college-going and completion process through practices such as sharing information, developing expectations around school completion, positioning students as examples to younger siblings/family members, and by sharing advice on how to persist when faced with challenging situations.  Building on this work, I will present some of my research on Black family life and the lineage Black contributions to STEM in order to provide evidence of the ways that Black families incubate STEM learning and aspirations. I have found that families – with emphasis on parents – leverage capital and establish family cultures values and practices that support STEM exploration and confidence. This talk will highlight some of my recent contributions along with implications for research on informal/family learning spaces

The University College London (UCL) Centre for Engineering Education is a joint venture between Faculty of Engineering Sciences and the Institute of Education (IoE). Through research and active engagement, it aims to encourage the study of engineering and allied subjects and drive curriculum innovations to help create the next generation of engineering graduates needed to address complex global challenges. The Centre for Engineering Education is heavily involved in the running and dissemination of UCL Engineering's Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP) – one of the four case studies described in the MIT report “Reimagining and rethinking engineering education” – a pedagogical framework by which undergraduate students study using innovative and interdisciplinary approaches. In this session, I will focus on CEE’s research with IEP students and recent graduates to understand their experiences in the programme. Findings suggest gender differences in the awareness of the societal impact of engineering, and that communication skills are essential to engineering practice. Finally, I will highlight contributions for future longitudinal research on engineering student learning and career pathways in the UK.

Abstract
Fission is a high power density energy source for space applications capable of enabling high power levels for long durations which is desirable for surface power and in-space propulsion methods for crewed missions. Nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) and nuclear electric propulsion (NEP) are advanced, in-space propulsion technologies capable of higher efficiencies than traditional chemical engines, making them well suited to enable crewed interplanetary missions. In NTP systems, the reactor acts as a heat exchanger and directly heats a hydrogen propellant to provide high thrust (10s – 100s klbf) at high efficiencies, i.e. specific impulse (> 800 s). NEP systems use a reactor to generate electricity to power high-efficiency electric propulsion thrusters which enable nearly a magnitude greater specific impulse (> 2000 s), but at reduced thrust (0.001 – 1 lbf). Because of these attributes, space nuclear propulsion technologies have the capability to reduce trip times on the order of half of that compared to the highest performance chemical systems and there has been renewed interest in the development of these systems for future NASA or defense applications within the U.S. There has been extensive development for both NTP and NEP systems through historic space nuclear propulsion programs, however none of these programs have quite reached the development status desired for implementation of either system in modern missions. Primary hurdles to reactor development have centered around materials development for the extreme operating conditions desired for high-performance space reactors. In this presentation, the state of the art, lessons learned, and remaining knowledge gaps from historic NTP and NEP development programs are summarized. Based on this overview, critical components for each reactor and remaining materials development challenges are identified.

Keywords: nuclear thermal propulsion, nuclear electric propulsion, technology maturation, reactor, testing

Abstract
The long term success of fission microreactors will likely rely on mass-production and low-cost operation, for example through remote operation. Pilot sites are required in order to justify the upfront expense of large production facilities and to test key assumptions about operations, reliability, and security.

Alaskan communities are being considered for the first microreactors. They have high energy costs, generally 2 - 10x that in the Lower-48 states, and face unique reliability and supply-chain challenges. Fission microreactors are well suited to resolving these technical challenges, but it is an open question whether they will be economically viable.

In this talk, we present the results of our recent study where we assessed the maximum capital and operating costs an economically viable microreactor can have in Alaska. We used the GenX energy dispatch and capacity expansion modelling tool to evaluate the cost of providing electricity and heat to serve two types of Alaskan communities, and calculated the cost efficiency of including a fission microreactor. We find that three factors dominate the calculation: (i) access to natural gas, (ii) the size of the heat load and the accessibility of a district heating network, and (iii) the importance of emission reductions

Navigating at the Intersection of Two Pandemics: Exploring Black Engineering Graduate Students’ Simultaneous Experiences of COVID-19 and Racism-20 (January 19, 2022 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90470 90470-21671098@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 19, 2022 10:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

In this seminar, the presenter will share findings from an in-progress work and facilitate a conversation anchored in the experiences of Black graduate students in engineering (BGSE) at the intersections of two pandemics. This engaging conversation will support our awareness of how the experiences of BGSE as a marginalized group in engineering have been compounded by the simultaneous realities of COVID-19 and Racism-20 (systemic racism). Specifically, the duality of BGSE as Black people in America and Black graduate students in U.S. engineering programs creates a unique set of experiences about which little is known. This seminar will amplify the experiences of BGSE in this moment and their explicit needs with the goal of increasing institutional awareness, and thus accountability, for best supporting their persistence and success.

Engineering training has long been characterized by the primacy of technical considerations. In recent years, there have been increasing calls for engineers to better account for social and contextual dimensions of their work, in addition to the technical, in order to adequately address the complex challenges of our modern society. However, the field has been slow to change. In this seminar, I will present findings from a study that explores how a narrowly technical focus of engineering work may be perpetuated through day-to-day engineering training and practice. Findings from this study also highlight how emphasized forms of engineering practice (mis)align with engineers’ personal values and interests and I will discuss the potential implications of this (mis)alignment for how engineers view the field and their place within it. In addition, I will discuss several current collaborative research efforts that relate to this work: one focused on characterizing curricular messaging in two engineering departments and the implications of this messaging for students’ sense of fit and career intentions in their fields and another focused on understanding the adoption and impacts of a toolkit aimed at providing students with the skills to identify and address socially engaged aspects of engineering work.

197 countries have signed the Paris Agreement - the global framework to limit global warming to 1.5C and address the already-present and future impacts of climate change. The best available science informs the policy discourse through a periodic review of the long-term temperature goal and requests to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to develop reports of interest. In light of the upcoming publication of the 6th Assessment Report of the IPCC, this talk will review the current state of scientific knowledge of climate change touching on all three of its Working Groups: physical science, impacts and adaptation, and mitigation, including the role that nuclear power plays in scenarios assessed by WGIII. Particular focus will be given to how the science-policy interface informs negotiation processes including the yearly Conference of Parties, setting of national policy targets such as Nationally Determined Contributions and net zero targets, and the upcoming Global Stocktake.

Abstract
Over the last two decades the DOE Nuclear Energy Universities Program (NEUP) has had major impacts by supporting innovative research and training the next generation of nuclear energy professionals. This talk describes the origins of the concept of fluoride salt cooled, high temperature reactors, that led to multi-university NEUP-supported research efforts that verified the technical feasibility to design and license reactors using high-temperature TRISO fuel with a molten salt coolant. This enabled the founding of the startup company Kairos Power in December, 2016. This talk will also describe the progress at Kairos Power, including the current Nuclear Regulatory Commission review of the Construction Permit Application for the Hermes Low Power Demonstration Reactor.

Abstract
In the US, energy technologies require constituencies -- large groups of people (policy actors and voters) who rally to support a technology because it addresses a core issue that concerns or benefits them. For example, both solar and wind energy technologies have garnered widespread support among the US public, largely because of the recognized role these technologies can play in mitigating the effects of climate change. Partially as a result of the efforts of these constituencies, the use of solar and wind energy in the US has grown tremendously over the last decade. At the same time, the role of nuclear energy in the US has been stagnant and declining because of early plant closures and the lack of new reactors. Nuclear energy offers several key benefits, including its potential contribution to – decarbonizing the energy sector, grid stability, fuel diversification, energy independence, and high-paying jobs. Arguably one of the most important reasons that nuclear energy has stagnated in the US is because it lacks a strong constituency. This talk aims to explore pockets of support (or lack thereof) for nuclear energy among members of the US public and analyze the potential basis for that support.

Research demonstrates a strong correlation between inclusion, diversity, and organizational effectiveness. Inclusive teams enjoy higher productivity, and lower attrition. This shaped Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL) commitment to building an empowered workforce that’s inclusive and diverse, where everyone feels they belong.

This discussion will outline efforts to:

—Embed inclusivity into all aspects of organizational operations.
—Engage the workforce in a shared commitment to foster belonging, togetherness, inclusion, and psychological safety.
—Build inclusively diverse teams to enhance mission results.

Speaker Bio:
Toni L. Coleman Carter is the energetic Chief Inclusion and Collaborator Officer who strategically drives an inclusive future for Idaho National Laboratory (INL) in Idaho Falls, Idaho. She's a change champion who collaborates with Laboratory and community leaders to create environments which empower and engage others to achieve a competitive advantage, further leveraging talent platforms to enhance employee capabilities, build next generation leaders, and drive bottom-line results. She also partners as a consultant to create, develop, and oversee inclusion and diversity initiatives, while increasing inclusion awareness and providing governance for INL’s inclusion leadership councils (ERGs).

Carter has nine years of combined governmental experience, which includes her time as the deputy mayor for the Village of Hanover Park Illinois. Prior to joining INL, she spent 23 years in corporate America working for Motorola Solutions in Chicago, IL, an $8 billion technology organization. Carter also spent time in the pharmaceutical and food service industries. She worked for K&B (Katz and Besthoff, now Rite-Aid) and Phar-Mor Pharmacies as a pharmacy technician and as a manager for McDonald’s and Taco Bell Corporations.

In April of 2007, Carter was elected as Hanover Park’s first black council member. Carter’s position at the Village allowed her to assist with the recruitment, selection, and appointment of department heads and to help create policy operation strategies. During this time, Carter founded the Village’s Cultural Inclusion and Diversity committee, the largest volunteer committee in the Village. After two years of confronting challenging opportunities, she became the Village’s first black deputy mayor.

In her position, Carter created a homeless prevention task force that focused on providing solutions to reduce the impact of the 2008-2010 economic crisis, preventing home foreclosures and providing transitional housing for residents. In 2008, she was appointed to Hanover Park’s Crime Prevention Task Force, a team that helped design crime prevention strategies and methodologies for the Village. The same year, Hanover Park named her Inclusion and Diversity Champion, and she received an Outstanding Leadership Award from Motorola’s Women’s Business Council.

Abstract:
The prospect of near-term fusion electricity opens new doors for university-based plasma physics research. Even after the grand societal challenge of putting fusion on the grid is achieved, research addressing grand intellectual challenges in plasma transport will remain vibrant. University groups will engage with sponsors and collaborators including not only governments and national labs around the world, but also private companies and utilities. In this talk I present side-by-side examples of recent research results on turbulence and transport measurements, as well as predictive simulation and modeling, carried out by researchers at MIT in support of both the nascent fusion industry and the established fission industry. I will share my perspective, as an academic department head, on the future of fusion research in universities as we move through and beyond the era of burning plasmas.
