MET students to develop Excel solvers, CSET student to code and develop the GUI interface, and CET student to manage the overall project. Visual Studios was planned for GUI programming. The initial proposed programming strategy is shown in Figure 1.

The following is aselection of the questions asked.▪ Q1: The instructor did a good job of making the objectives of the course clear to me.▪ Q2: The instructor stimulated and deepened my interest in the subject.▪ Q3: The instructor motivated me to do my best work.▪ Q4: Value of the laboratory component of the course.▪ Q5: Overall rating of this course as a learning experience. For each of the questions (Q1-Q5), all students provided the same ratings, and thus theaverage rating for each question was identical. The results per semester were as

news [8].• It is a rewarding experience for these five senior students. They went through the main cycle of the R&D of a product with a short timeline of two semesters, emerged themselves in a multidisciplinary environment, and successfully delivered the prototype of a product. Towards the end of their senior design, the engineering team had the chance to interact with business senior students to form the business plan for a potential startup company. Figure 7.

Then, it is critical to build the team. In the currentwork, this is accomplished through a hybrid model formed by the basic BioDesign processmodified by the SETT framework, as show in Figure 1.

Descriptiveanalyses were carried out and comparisons to a commensurate Chinese engineering student sampleand previous work was made. The next steps of this study include a more thorough analysis of theUS student sample as well as formulating a plan to connect moral intuitions with student-heldvalues (correlational analysis). Future work will also expand the sample of students to two USinstitutions, one European institution, and three

The majority of the rack will be made out of square steeltubing, which is 2” x 2” and 0.12” thick on top and on the sides with ¼” thick sections used onthe bottom pieces. Originally, the whole rack was planned to be made from the 0.12” thicksquare stock steel, but after tipping calculations were completed using a simple moment equationon the bottom corner, the ¼” thick square stock was chosen to be used on the bottom. Thischange increased the weight at the bottom of the rack significantly, minimizing the effect of theheight of the rack on the moment equation. 5

electrical engineering at the sophomore level. While students are generallyfamiliar with op amps by the time they begin research, concepts such as transimpedance andtransconductance amplifiers are topics that even senior students do not routinely encounter.Furthermore, in beginning coursework, students typically focus on the behavior of a single op amprather than using several to create a more complex circuit. Understanding and debugging a muchmore complex circuit provides students with a rich opportunity to learn beyond what is typicallyoffered in the classroom. The tuning of each stage (through adjusting resistor and capacitor values)of the circuit requires careful planning to ensure proper operation (without clipping) over the entiredesired

disadvantages of offering manufacturing programs outweigh its advantages, the future ofmanufacturing engineering programs looks not very promising unless larger institutions or majorindustries get involved. On the contrary, any institution with a good plan and location near avariety of industries or major industry can sustain its manufacturing programs since millions ofmanufacturing jobs are still available (even though a fraction of these will be engineering jobs)and retiring manufacturing personnel need to be replaced. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)presents that there were 292,000 industrial/manufacturing engineering jobs available in 2020 andit expects a 14% increase (faster than average) in that figure between the years of 2020-2030,adding

thecritical time period before and after the total solar eclipse which last 2~3 minutes. However, for theupcoming 2024 total solar eclipse, more accurate estimates are desired for a better planning of theflight operation and timing for payload preparation, balloon launch, actual flight in the air, andpayload tracking and recovery, and also for video-streaming during the eclipse moment as well asa post-eclipse period as part of a typical balloon flight of ~2 hours. As such, one of the high-priority tasks was to extend and optimize the run time of the videopayload. For the past three years until 2020, however, no meaningful progress was made, partlydue to the fact that students assigned to the task needed to spend a considerable amount of time

It was the material embodiment of a radical educational philosophy.” 1LOGO Culture's success showed that complex topics could be taught with the direct use ofcomputers and electronic systems. A turtle that could teach typing, for example, if it wereprogrammed to move in a way that would trace the typed words across the floor. It would thenhave a “pen down” command to do the actual inscription, and a “pen up” command to move tothe next letter.26, 31 These projects showed that it is possible to teach computer programmingalongside and in addition to another subject. This lesson plan structure has become a hallmark ofEducational Robotics and is still used today.30
