. Another benefit to academic institutions is that they will achieve bettermetrics for having students graduate on time, as mentioned in the article by Perez et al. [2].Efficient advising optimizes the time to graduate, thus improving universities' graduation timemetrics. An adequate and effective advising process is crucial for a program to provide not onlycurricular guidance to the students but also improve the retention of the program in general.With academic advising being such an integral part of higher education, it is important to findways that can streamline the process and make the process the most efficient possible. Academicadvising programs and apps are helping to solve this. There are many benefits from usingacademic advising programs

Besides, the university had always had an excellent liberal artsprogram with a number of prominent personalities actively engaged in exploring ideas of modernity.In those early years when the university was relatively small and interaction between departmentswas still possible, students of architecture would find themselves in the company of students fromthe literature, philosophy and social science departments.

Lapseswithin any area of the cybersecurity realm can result in damages to reputation, cause for legaldamage or regulatory action. Governance of crowdsourced projects must include attention to both ethicalconsiderations, as well as cybersecurity issues, regardless of their scope and scale. Theexploitation of

took place during the springsemester, without any early warning signs, the instructors were required to adapt the new onlineteaching format. This was very challenging to certain courses that demanded high interactionbetween students and the instructor. Chemical Process Control is one of such courses. ChemicalProcess Control, which is within the chemical engineering curriculum at Villanova University,provides an experience in which students must apply their modeling skills to quantify the transientdynamics of chemical processes and thus design controllers with optimal performance. A typicalproject for students to solve is to design controllers for a chemical reactor to obtain desired qualityproduct in a timely and safety manner. This involves

Crossflow heat exchanger.In general, education in engineering requires both theoretical and practical knowledge, and in mostcases, students gain theoretical knowledge in the classroom, but laboratory experience is neededto obtain practical skills [2]. The engineering Thermal-Fluids Laboratory course at the Universityof Texas at Tyler (MENG 3211) is one such curriculum that has made substantial progress in thedevelopment and integration of thermal-system analysis in the form of virtually simulated heatexchangers. This virtual analysis provides an accurate preview of what to expect when workingwith a physical engineering system without the

Although the numbers in Tables 1 and 2provide a baseline description of the composition of the department at this point in time, this isreally a snapshot of a dynamic and evolving population that would likely be better capturedthrough ecosystem metrics [11]. Additionally, we have submitted an NSF proposal that willsupport addressing DEI-related concepts (among other things) throughout a four-course labsequence in the core undergraduate curriculum. Through this and many complimentary efforts,we plan to put in place a framework through which students, faculty, and staff can co-create aclimate that fosters access and inclusion and leads to

Additional subsequent weeks of data integration are necessary to differentiate between the threepossible framework explanations for faculty and cadet time relationships. In an 18-week semester,five or six weeks constitute a one-third slice of a continuous academic campaign including six-and ten-week grades reports (in the case of USMA), a significant quantity and diversity in gradedevents, course modules, extracurricular activities, and mandatory and optional beneficial furtheractivities.
