Drawn from models of professionaltraining in medicine, and touted as a student-centered learning strategy, project-based, orproblem-based learning (PBL) has become a popular model to integrate specific challenges ofprofessional engineering into the learning process by incorporating the complexities of humanand site-based work into engineering curriculum [5], [6]. While pointing out the overly-broadrange of instructional methods justified under this title, critics agree that the active andcollaborative processes have value for student learning in engineering [7], [8], [5].For civil and environmental engineers, whose work is often connected to construction, land, andwater issues on specific sites, and whose work heavily

Given these impacts on society and considering that computing andengineering continue to merge as advanced technologies are developed, a need has beenestablished for ethical reasoning in technical curricula [3- 6]. Previous work presented acollaborative lesson plan that integrated science fiction and principles of ethical engineeringdesign in an introductory engineering computing course [7], which could be used and adapted byengineering and computer science faculty.Given established needs to diversify the technical and engineering workforce as well asinitiatives to mitigate biases in algorithms and technology, the need for diversity, equity, andinclusion in computing education [8 - 9] and engineering education [10,11] have

Not only are students exposed to developmentally appropriate and personally salientcomputer science-related content aligned with educational standards, but they also experience asignificant increase in their attitudes towards computer science activities, particularly thoseinvolving computer programming and computational thinking. In this way, CPI is highly scalable,having the potential to reach a broad audience of learners by curating content from an integratedset of educational resources and thus also orienting a future generation of students towards careersin computer science and related fields.

The Fourier transform is one such method that is commonlyused in various signal processing applications to transform time domain data to frequency domaindata. However, the Fourier transform is a complex mathematical operation involving a difficult tocompute integral over all time, which quickly becomes challenging with complex soundwave data.Thankfully, there are discrete Fourier transform algorithms that use numerical methods to quicklycompute the frequency spectra of a finite signal. In particular, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)algorithm provides an incredibly fast method for computing

In any case, exposure to flywheels in undergraduate educationprepares engineering students for practical use-cases in industry. Additionally, a flywheel system doesnot act alone, but rather incorporates sensors, transducers, actuators, and various algorithms whichfurther enrich its capabilities to be used in an undergraduate engineering curriculum. This paperpresents the use of a flywheel system at a major university.

codes. First, codes are abstract, and professionals must use their judgementto assess and make decisions not necessarily covered by a code [8]. Second, there is thepossibility that codes will place an obstruction between personal professional conduct andpersonal values, beliefs, truth, conscience, etc… which challenge a person’s integrity [9].Finally, written codes are fundamentally disciplinary by nature and are not inspirationaledicts to guide a professional to achieve good ethical decisions [10]. Character education isan alternative approach to these challenges endemic to current ethical code education.Character education through virtue provides a more effective method to inspire engineers andwill assist them in making better ethical

Replicating GDT and tolerances from an existing plan arguablyfalls into entry level domains of Knowledge, where students memorize symbols and can recallthe steps needed to create a drawing in the assigned CAD package.A common exercise in GDT education is to translate a sentence describing a condition to theappropriate symbols.
