To help students start ROS programming practicing, a ROS-based studentautonomous navigation project, including components of path-planning, image recognition, andsimultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is implemented on this robotics platform. Apilot study shows that the platform is favored by students and inspiring for students to learnROS. However, the curriculum needs improvements to ensure the students’ success incompleting the tasks.IntroductionWith the advancement of sensing and control technology, lower price in computation units andsensors

Students in a junior-level introduction to process engineering course with little tono prior reflection experience responded to reflection prompts anchored in their weeklyassignments and the course learning objectives. Reflections associated with the initial threeassignments of the semester were coded for dimension and level of metacognitive strategiesemployed. Visual representations of the frequency of each code across the assignmentsshowed that students predominately used low and medium levels of planning and monitoring.Few reflective comments were coded as actions, transfer

Second, the teaching innovation proposals were rewritten by each team afterthe workshop to determine if their goals and plans have changed to align with iterative learningpractices taught in the workshop. We developed a systematic rubric to evaluate their proposalsand assess how well they internalized after the training based on the pre- and post-proposals. Therubric is scored from 1-5 on seven aspects and 4 grant members assessed based on it.6.

able to meetthe socio-technical challenges of 21st century society. Together, student veterans and servicemembers (SVSM) are a unique yet understudied student group that comprises substantial numbersof those historically underrepresented in engineering (i.e., due to race, ethnicity, gender, ability,orientation, etc.). That, in combination with technical interests and skills, maturity, life experience,and self-discipline, makes SVSM ideal candidates for helping engineering education meet thesedemands [1,2]. This NSF CAREER project aims to advance full participation of SVSMs withinhigher engineering education and the engineering workforce by 1) Research Plan: developingdeeper understandings about how SVSM participate, persist, and produce

Inorder to incentivize responding, two (2) additional percentage points of extra credit are awardedto each student in the final capstone design course if the completion rate of the survey exceeds90% by the last class day. This incentive has proved successful as the course is graded on anabsolute basis with no curve. A 93% average response rate has been achieved since 2017.Question #25 addresses post-graduation plans.

As BIM has been the focus of technological innovation in recent decades, severaluniversities have developed BIM-integrated curriculums for students of construction engineeringand management (CEM), but they represent only a handful of a large number of such programsavailable worldwide [10, 11], and in addition, there is significant diversity in their content. Atechnology education framework for CEM programs is needed to aid educators in establishingcoherent and comprehensive curricula, both within existing courses and by introducing newcourses.

are used in education to evaluateword problems. Rubrics are evaluation tools that help measure performance and learning basedon a given set of criteria and objectives. Several rubrics have been developed and used to assessstudents’ ability to solve word problems. Permatasari and colleagues [6] implemented a fourindicator problem solving rubric based on: Identification of the Problem, Planning a Solution,Implementing a Solution, and Evaluation. The rubric, which implemented a 1-4 scoring scale,was tested in a Physics class with 55 senior high school students [5]. Another rubricimplemented in Physics uses 44 sub-skills split in different categories: knowledge, beliefs,expectations and motivations, and processes [6]. That rubric was used to

Professional development focuses on student goal-setting, ruralsustainability technical topics, and communication skills, including both written and oral skillsfor various types of audiences. This includes the development of individual development plans(IDPs), which assist each student in setting short-, intermediate- and long-term professionalgoals, defining the skills necessary to meet the goals, identifying opportunities for professionaldevelopment as well as any gaps in skills [4
