experts suggest adding to development flow. A useful UX practice canbe defined by evaluating how it fits into the Agile frameworks, Scrum and Kanban, and how it fitsinto the earlier development phases. Since software has become so diverse and exists in everyindustry imaginable today, there is no single best fit approach for integrating usability and it willvary with an organization’s development approach and the product under development. Theproposed framework can be used in a flexible way and tailored to fit the project at hand. Through anextensive literature review, we selected specific activities to include in the framework that fall intothree greater categories of approaches: participatory design, ethnographic study, and a more recentapproach

Texas A&M University-Kingsville AbstractThe pathway to graduation can become confusing and lack the support needed for minority studentsto navigate their career goals successful and gain the types of experiences that foster a successfulcareer upon graduation in STEM majors. Capstone design course is a critical component in mostengineering and science undergraduate curricula to preparation senior students for their future STEMcareers. However, the quality of capstone design projects does not always meet the expectation due tothe limited resources and support. Although capstone courses are now standard in engineering andscience programs across the US, the associated required logistics and the

These are the problems that need technical solutions which canimpact how we live: Figure 2. NAE Grand Challenges7Every day engineers are involved in designing and manufacturing items that have great impact onsociety. The potential result is that of great good for society but there also exists the possibility ofcausing harm to those who use these items or services.

to fully online coursesin the wake of COVID-19 required rectifying traditional instructional methods to overcomechallenges such as the lack of academic resources and established campus practices, whilesimultaneously ensuring the academic development of students. Thus, a pedagogical frameworkknown as the CIRE model was recently designed and implemented in a Rigid Body Dynamicscourse, which according to the study, generated favorable results. To test its accurateness, theproposed CIRE model was adopted for a Statics-Strength of Materials summer [six-week] coursetaught in a slightly different timeframe. The implementation of the model was a proactive approachto the fast-paced structure of the summer course and allowed the students to enhance
