Tufts University Center for Engineering Educational Outreach, where her work focused on integrating engineering with science, technology, and math in professional development for K-12 teachers. She also directed the Women’s Experiences in Col- lege Engineering (WECE) project, the first national, longitudinal, large-scale study of the factors that support young women pursuing engineering degrees. At Cornell University, where she began her career, she created environmental science curricula and professional development. Cunningham has received a number of awards; in 2017 her work was recognized with the prestigious Harold W. McGraw Jr. Prize in Education. Cunningham holds joint B.A. and M.A. degrees in biology from

because of constraints on timeand technology access, and because not all students require it. At CCSU, student participation ina voluntary online screening test paired with an optional, ten-hour, non-credit seminar wasdisappointing, with only a small fraction of the students deemed eligible for the seminarselecting to participate. In the Fall of 2020 the students in an Introduction to Engineering course(ENGR 150), were screened for weakness in spatial visualization using the Purdue SpatialVisualization Test: Rotations (PSVT:R). Those students in need of remediation were providedinstruction during break-out sessions during regular class time over the course of ten classmeetings. The breakout sessions lasted about ten minutes each, resulting in two

technology demands increasing attention. Among these new topics, Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) has seen rapid development in the pastfew years, with major implications for transportation engineers. As of 2020, 40 US states hadenacted legislation or executive orders related to autonomous vehicles [3]. The federal governmenthas also developed guidelines for the development and eventual deployment of AVs on US roads[4]. These guidelines classify AVs based on the extent to which human intervention is requiredfor their functioning, with Level 5 AVs being capable of driving themselves without any humancontrol under all conditions. Over the past several years, multiple private companies have beenrunning field trials of their prototype AVs. Dixit et al. [5

Villanova UniversityAbstractProject management has become a standard practice in the fields of engineering,construction, and information technology, greatly reducing the number of failed projects.While fundamental technical content takes up the bulk of the typical undergraduateengineering curriculum, the capstone design project is an excellent opportunity to teachproject management principles through a project-based learning experience. While mostprograms include project management topics in capstone lectures few programs activelypromote applied project management. A few institutions have taken a more formal approachby creating dedicated project management courses or incorporating substantial projectmanagement materials in an existing course

. Administrators and faculty had to workcollaboratively to ensure quality instruction continued. Faculty had to develop new ways ofpresenting course material, communicating with students, and offering instructional support [1].It was the responsibility of the faculty to ensure that learning practices and tests stayed consistentwith student learning outcomes. At the same time, administrators had to ensure that approvedprograms in an online teaching and learning setting were in accordance with accreditationrequirements and policies.At the University of the District of Columbia (UDC), all engineeringand computer science undergraduate programs follow the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET) [2] standards.

This assignment was incorporated into the seminar as either a 20-hour or40-hour project depending upon how many modules of the course the senior year student wasotherwise engaged with. The Action Technologies® workflow model was used assuring the customer’sconditions of satisfaction would be met. This novel module allowed students to learn the four key stepsof: preparation, negotiation, performance and acceptance. The 14 ECE seniors involved in this pilotchose from nearly 20 available projects and got to decide which projects would best apply their skillsetsas electrical or computer engineering
