Islam Khan Received his B.S. and M. S. from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology where he also served as a Lecturer and Assistant Professor. Currently, Khan is a Ph.D. candidate at Washington State University. He has been involved in multidisciplinary research including hands-on learning for STEM education, transport modeling in micro/nanoscale devices, and various inverse techniques including Bayesian inference, Monte Carlo methods, neural network, and deep/machine learning for adeno-associated virus and liposome characterization. In 2020, he was awarded the best Research Assistant award by the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Washington State University. Khan plans to pursue a
take multiple discipline-specific engineering courses intheir initial semester. Discovering a major is not a good fit often results in transfer studentsleaving engineering or significantly lengthening time to degree completion. To promote students’confidence in their major choice, students will view a video introducing engineering majorsavailable at Mississippi State University. The BETS course will include additional pertinentinformation for new transfer students. Topics for BETS Transitions include: • How to use the CANVAS course – A quick how-to video to highlight the functions of the course • Choosing an Engineering Major – Engaging video(s) to introduce engineering majors • Orientation – Information about orientation

It also does not reflect the capacity or talent of those more than 90,000underrepresented people who earned S&E doctorate degrees between 2005 and 2015 in the U.S.[11].

One of the first topics of discussionin a System Dynamics or Vibrations course usually involves lumping elements of continuousmechanical systems such that their total inertia, stiffness, and damping can be represented asmass, spring, and damper elements, respectively. Distributed-parameter models involve partialdifferential equations (PDEs), which are significantly more difficult to solve than the ordinarydifferential equations (ODEs) associated with lumped-parameter models. The mathematicalcomplexity of distributed-parameter models, however, allows for the motion of the system to bedetermined at any location and at any time.

appear to have difficulty being patient with theprocess of learning from the videos.Future Ideas1) The author plans to continue with traditional classroom instruction for lessons one, two, andfive with one adjustment – to create back-up videos for the material presented in class. This way,when a student misses a class or needs to review something that he or she didn’t fullyunderstand, they can watch the back-up video(s).2) The author is considering having students do the video tutorials as homework prior to classand then doing the independent portions of the homework in the classroom. The benefits of thisflipped classroom approach would be to have more interaction time with students during theirportion of the homework that is less structured and

Students in the game-based section performed better on 14 of 21conceptual questions [3], were more engaged as assessed by the Experience-Sampling Method[13], and made more meaningful connections between core concepts [14].

What were some of the challenges of working with students 1 and 2 at LandivarUniversity?● Student 1 at Villanva University: The major challenges of working with student 1 at LandivarUniversity mostly stemmed from communication. It took some time finding our footing, learningstudent 1’s strengths, and knowing when to delegate work. There was a learning curve incommunicating effectively what I wanted and needed student 1 to do without seeing him inperson. This meant having multiple Zoom meetings with him 1-on-1 to discuss exactly what theidea was and show him how to implement it. It was also difficult working with student 1 atLandivar University since sometimes his Wi-Fi would not work

In this method, five under-loading itemswere removed, one cross-loading item was removed, and then that procedure was repeatediteratively. In total, 49 items were retained across 10 factors. We noticed that whileimplementing this method, the removal of one cross-loading item often reduced the total numberof factors, presumably by weakening the factor structure of two latent factors from the previousiteration and causing the weaker of the two latent factors to be removed from the sample.Method 4: Fixed factors. In this method, the number of factors was fixed to 10, and otherwise
