own context and evolving understanding of a liberatoryengineering education.IntroductionEducational scholar Dr. Bettina Love relentlessly advocates for the urgent need for abolitionistteachers who can design curriculum and educational experiences for our students that areliberatory in nature.1 A liberatory engineering education has the potential to empower ourhistorically underrepresented and racially minoritized students to be the kind of engineers whowill collaboratively strive for a just world and solve humanity’s most pressing problems.2Technology integration in engineering curriculum can either aid or hinder students’ ability tothrive as humans as well as potential future engineers. After years of seeing the ways technologycan be

Each statement corresponds to one of five different “moral foundations”– ways of conceiving matters of right and wrong, concerned with different kinds of behaviors andcontents (see Table 1). Table 1.

The final price point of this lab sits under200 dollars and with modifications it can be operated for under 100 dollars. In conclusion, thislab offers an affordable option to instructors looking to introduce the fundamentals of processcontrol with their students.Keywords: Chemical Engineering, K-12 Education, First-Year Engineering, PID Controllers,Microcontrollers2 Introduction2.1 Major Choice and Diversity within Chemical EngineeringIncreasing equity and diversity within engineering education continues to be a large focus ofresearch today (see for example, [1]).

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Developing Power Cycles Simulations for an Applied Thermodynamics CourseAbstractAs part of the rigorous curriculum for the Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) students,laboratory courses supply a critical part of the engineering education through hands-onobservation, measurement, data acquisition, data analysis and interpretation, technical reporting,teamwork, and others. When the access to hands-on laboratory activities was abruptly interrupteddue to COVID-19, there was an immediate need 1) to find practical computer simulations, and/or2) to develop new simulations, both in support of the theory discussed during

Towards this end, the paper exploits all the attributes (i.e., sixty-seven attributes)over ten dimensions (listed in Table 1) using five machine learning algorithms. The Objective ofthe work-in-progress (WIP) is two-fold: (i)To leverage machine learning to identify the factorsthat are the best predictor of an at-risk student(s) in a programming course and (ii) Compare theperformance of the machine learner(s

Course didactic components were posted on a Learning Management System, andstudents were expected to read and prepare arguments for each case to be discussed in class. Theframework of the course is designed to enhance systems thinking and insight on prior biomedicalknowledge and innovation, as well as measurable improvement in critical thinking skills in thefield of medicine.Nine course learning objectives were developed for the course, and at the end of the coursesuccessful students were expected to be able to: 1. Have fundamental knowledge of applied physiological system function and dysfunction. 2. Analyze physiological systems from an
