Broadening Student Participation in Secondary Computer Science Through Principled Assessment of Computational Thinking (PACT)
Despite recent increases in enrollment, women and minorities remain underrepresented in those attaining computer science (CS) degrees and entering CS careers. The low number of students taking advanced placement CS exams in high school, which is often used as a rough measure of student interest in pursuing CS in college, shows that we have a…

Representation and Analysis of Additively Manufactured Parts
In this paper we show that as-manufactured shapes may be represented in terms of the convolution operation to capture the additive deposition of material, measure the conformance to nominal geometry in terms of overlap volume, and model uncertainties involved in material flow and process control.
