Hydraulic Jumps in Laterally Constricted Open-Channel Flows
No full textThe Venturi Device, studied by Giovani Battista Venturi in the late 19th-century, is a constriction weir that decreases the outflow fluid height compared to the inflow fluid height as well as increasing flow velocity. Through an experiment designed in the SNC Fluid Mechanics lab using an open channel flume, we obtained quantitative measurements of various flow characteristics including discharge heights and flow velocities. These variables are then used to determine the slope of the hydraulic jump through the constricted channel as well as the Froude number, a classification of flow behavior through a specific measurement of the ratio of inertial and gravitational forces. This study aims to answer the impact the Froude number has on the average slope of the hydraulic jump as it passes through the Venturi Device. We hypothesize that as the inflow Froude number is increased, the slope of the hydraulic jump will increase.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1098/thumbnail.jp
The Impact of Social Organizations on Academic Motivation
No full textThe goal of this research project was to find out if being a part of a social organization positively impacts academic motivation. Social organizations can be defined as Greek Life and Social Groups on campus. Understanding the impact that social organizations have on academic motivation can help guide students and faculty to better create and environment that encourages academic success. The research we are conducting is similar to Manyu Li, Irene Hanson Frieze, Timothy J. Nokes-Malach, Jeewon Cheong’s research on “Mediating processes between social relations and academic motivation”. This research study focuses on the impact of friends and attachment to their university to academic motivation. Our study focuses more on social organizations, rather than friends, and how they impact academic motivation.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1106/thumbnail.jp
Effects of Organization Type and Roe v. Wade Statement on Gender Diversity
No full textProblemVarious organizations wish to diversify; however, the definition of diversity is not always straightforward. Due to recent events surrounding women’s rights, we examined how a diversity statement that made explicit reference to Roe v. Wade affected perceptions of gender diversity within universities and companies.ProcedureConsistent with the preregistered sample size, we collected data from 222 respondents (71.1% White; 49.8% male, 36.4% female). Participants were randomly assigned to read a hypothetical diversity statement, in which we varied the type of organization (university vs. company) and the presence or absence of a Roe v. Wade statement. Then participants rated their perceptions of the organization’s diversity levels and their judgments about the diversity statement itself, as well as answering some questions about their own experiences.ResultsWe conducted a 2(organization type: university vs. company)x2(Roe statement: present vs. absent) factorial ANOVA on the dependent variable of gender diversity. Results indicated a nonsignificant main effect of the presence of a Roe v. Wade statement, F(1, 218)= 0.008, p=.929, η2=.000 and a nonsignificant interaction effect, F(1, 218)=.003, p=.953, η2=.000, but showed that participants perceived gender diversity differently based on if the organization of interest was a university or a company, F(1, 218)=3.969, p=.048, η2=.018. Participants perceived greater gender diversity when evaluating a hypothetical university’s statement (M=3.723, SD=.925) compared to a company’s statement (M= 3.464, SD=.995), but perceived gender diversity did not differ depending on the presence (M= 3.588, SD=.982) or absence (M= 3.595, SD=.957) of a Roe v. Wade statement (see Figure 1). Additionally, being assigned to the company or university condition did not affect perceived gender diversity differently based on the presence of a Roe. v. Wade statement.ConclusionsSo far, it appears that organization type (university vs. company) affected perceived gender diversity, but it is unclear whether the presence of the Roe v. Wade statement had an impact on perceived gender diversity. We plan to conduct further preregistered analyses, including examining different dependent variables (e.g., perceived inclusion and sincerity of diversity statement) and the effects of individual differences (like sentiments toward Roe v. Wade). Our hope is that results from this study will shed light on how diversity statements circulated by both universities and companies can make organization members feel included.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1105/thumbnail.jp

Community involvement in addressing the antibiotic crisis
No full textIncreasing student interest and success in STEM education is a top priority for many postsecondary educational institutions. One well-documented approach to both priorities is to have students participate in a Course Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE). Faculty from several technical colleges and universities in Wisconsin teamed up with the Tiny Earth organization to offer a CURE to address the search for new antibiotics. Students enrolled in undergraduate microbiology courses engaged in research and participated in community outreach. To involve the community, faculty from various institutions joined an NFL team, the Green Bay Packers, and created the Tiny Earth in Titletown symposium. Here, students presented their work via scientific posters, to community and industry members, and networked with other scientists from around the region. The Tiny Earth in Titletown symposium started in 2018, was held again in 2019, and returned in 2022 following a 2-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Record attendance in 2022 suggests that community outreach and education may be helping restore trust in science that was lost during the pandemic.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/faculty_staff_works/1063/thumbnail.jp
