Education, 2021 Peer teaching research group model for upper level environmental engineering class with student-led lectures and journal article discussionsAbstractAn upper level environmental engineering class focusing on hazardous waste and air pollutionwas organized to mimic a graduate school research group. It is an upper-level required class forenvironmental engineering majors. In most weeks of the MWF class, a different student eachweek prepared a lecture and taught that week’s material on Monday. On Wednesday the facultymember followed this up with more explanation and clarification. Friday was a class discussionof a journal article related to the topic. The student would prepare the lecture a week or so inadvance and faculty member

quality control measure following the “hands on” practical review of laboratorytechnicians mentioned above. In general the peer review process will help assure quality of thetextbook as well as providing legitimacy to the technical writings presented in the manuscript,something that is sometimes missing in OER content.After the peer review process is complete the manuscript in BETA version will be used as thetextbook for the laboratory portion of the soil mechanics course at City Tech for one semester.During the semester students will be encouraged to reflect, seek out and highlight errors,omissions, and provide general feedback on the manuscript before the final version is released tothe general public. 3.

systems using the Nucleo board. 5- To provide students the opportunity to work and collaborate on real-world security problems.Problem StatementWhile the demand for engineering jobs is rising, many students face critical issues during therecruitment process due to their lack of hands-on skills after college or university [20]. Somecourses available at the university or college level do not necessarily provide students with labsthat could facilitate gaining hands-on knowledge, on top of the theory learned from theclassroom, to make them more competitive with their peers [17]. Students will become criticalthinkers in this project by identifying a real-world problem faced in the IoT ecosystems. Althoughthey might realize that various IoT

of South Carolina Beaufort (USCB) studying Computer Science, soon to graduate in December of 2021. I am a first generation college student within my family in the United States. I take an interest in learning how technological solutions are utilized and the effectiveness of these solu- tions. Additionally, I want to be able to understand real-world problems and potential solutions to assess these issues. During the summer of 2021, I took the opportunity to work with an early learning organization, The Children’s Center (TCC), in South Carolina. Continuing the project started by a peer at USCB and working with another peer the summer of 2021, I learned the importance of working with real world problems and

ChallengeEngineering Technology students benefit from hands-on laboratory education and take-homeproject. As part of the requirements of the AAS in the EMT capstone hands-on project lab, studentsmust connect the electronics components and devices correctly on the breadboard. Students mustknow how to use basic instrumentation to test and monitor the embedded system, such as to usean oscilloscope, function generator, power supply, and multimeter. The students also need to knowhow to write and debug programs to control electromechanical devices, such

lectureseries by STEM faculty and researchers across all partner institutions and collaborating industrypartners. At the end of the summer, students write a project report while teachers complete theirlesson plans and associated activities. The REU/RET teams present their work at a virtual researchsymposium coordinated by the lead institution. They also create a video ‘elevator pitch’ on theirexperience that is made available on the program website. All students are encouraged to continuetheir research at their home institution. The top 9 students across the whole program are selectedto receive stipends during the academic year specifically for this purpose.High school teachers are often tasked with providing quality education with very few resources

The author conducted a web search in 2019-2020 and identified twentyengineering degree programs with publicly available information.

As one BSCE program put it: “There is a continuing effort to make assessments more standardized and quantitative … so that year-to-year trends can be identified and evaluated in a systematic manner.” (2015 ABET self-study report for BSCE program)This same program noted that its portfolio of assessment
