action plan consists of four major tasks: (i) redesign and write new lab manuals and createdatasheets, (ii) develop LTspice-based pre-labs and video tutorials, (iii) develop “design andapplication”-oriented labs with handouts, and (iv) create introductory videos for in-lab exercises.In task 1, our goal is to fully revise the legacy lab manuals and redesign, reorganize, and rewritethem. In this process, we applied coherent formatting among all labs for improved readability. Inaddition, we created Microsoft Word-based structured data entry forms for in-lab and pre-lab datacollection, data analysis and lab report submission. Each datasheet is specifically designed for aspecific lab and they contain electronic forms or tables for experimental data
students to find what they are looking for.2.5 Capstone projectsCapstone project for Engineering Technology students is a critical component of students’ educationalexperience. The pandemic had significant impact on capstone projects. In Spring of 2020, no one wasprepared for the lockdown. As a result, project requirements had to be modified based on theunavailability of laboratories and the fact that students were not allowed to work together. After thatsemester, capstone teams are required to have a backup plan for situations like the lock down or socialdistancing. Now, it is fine to meet in-person, but many meetings, reviews, and discussions are still donevia Zoom. Capstone teams are required to create a detailed work breakdown structure such
, influencesgoal and activity choices. Other researchers have focused on students’ awareness of specialized areas inengineering, such as nanotechnology. For example, Dyehouse et al.’s (2008) NanotechnologyAwareness Instrument examines two factors, Exposure and Motivation, impacting students’career interest and goals. Students’ exposure and motivation are measured by asking studentsabout the activities they engaged in related to nanotechnology. Dyehouse et al. (2008) defineExposure as the “activities that a student has actually completed” such as reading, watching andengaging in the topic (2008, p. 503). They define Motivation as “nano-related studies or workthat a student plans to do in the future” such as interest in reading, taking courses and

Jordan, a licensed PE and ASCE member plans to move with their family across the country, requiring them to quit their current position. Jordan decides that 90 day's notice will allow their employer to deal with the departure. Jordan's supervisor regretfully agrees and notes that Jordan's current large project for the local county public works department, which is in negotiation for extension, is critical for the company to retain. Worried that Jordan's departure might prompt
students connect engineering value creation with their own goals?” we found theactivity and prompt were a good introduction to connecting ideas about career value creation andentrepreneurial mindset. Although most students had no prior exposure to the entrepreneurialmindset, the act of creating a concept map and brainstorming around engineering value creationcreated high quality maps. The results were similar to those of engineering students in anotherstudy that did not have prior exposure to EM. We plan to continue work on this research questionover time, as we have prepared a longitudinal study to continue tracking how the student EMmaps change over the course of their engineering degrees.Future work will include adjusting this type of concept

feature, namely that nearly every student started with more than 20lines of code. We noted this was sometimes due to needing to get enough code written tomeaningfully run something, and sometimes due to students starting from example code copiedfrom the book or lecture notes (which was allowed). The IncDev depletion due to this initialjump in LOC usually didn't hurt the student since subsequent runs would replenish IncDev, butnevertheless we may wish to avoid penalizing the first run so much, perhaps having a higherAddedLOC threshold for the first run.Our plan is to introduce the incremental development points later in the term, perhaps after 6 or 8weeks, so as to avoid "stressing out" the students with this extra rule, as they are just starting

Figure 5. Figure 5: Rapid output voltageThis graph is very similar to the previous graph, with the only difference being the gap betweenpeak voltages, or the frequency. Both of these tests confirmed that the crank would be suitable forour project. Not to mention the crank we designed would have an even higher output because ofthe increased gear ratio and larger scaling.To test the thermal output of the glove, originally the plan was to use a similar set up to the datacollection described above but utilizing the Sparkfun Redbord’s temperature sensor. However,initial testing led us to believe this wouldn’t be the most accurate result, as the numbers were veryinconsistent across several trials. We suspect this was

Users create an avatar which canmove through the space and interact through video chat with other users in close proximity,similar to how you’d talk to someone close by in real life. At any instant in time, users can locateother users in the space, view if they are currently talking to someone else or navigate theiravatar to another person’s location if they desire to speak with them. “Private spaces" can also becreated within the

Our survey did not receive enough responses from faculty members for such analysisalthough we did reach out through new faculty training and professional meetings and massemail. The authors suggest this lack of interest may reflect the ongoing difficulty of raisingawareness about accessibility concerns among faculty at large. In the future, we plan to developmaterials and example modules to help faculty adopt UDL design principles in their coursesusing practices adapted from [18]. For example, there will be in-built accessibility surveys inLMS to onboard students with university provided accommodations as well as assess the needsof students who may need accommodations but do not

The Central Arizona College,Arizona State University, University of Arizona, and Rural College collaboratives hosted thevirtual conference (Noravian, A, 2021). In attendance were approximately thirty rural HSIs andemerging HSIs (eHSIs) from both two-year and four-year institutions. Collectively, thisconference convened 70 participants, and 12 facilitators, speakers, and conference coordinators(Noravian, A, 2021). The audience consisted of

Preliminary Year 1 data provide insight into the impact of program participation thusfar, including an increase in participant knowledge of identity-inclusive topics, as well as effortand self-efficacy with respect to designing/implementing identity-inclusive initiatives.Future work will incorporate several lessons from this preliminary work, beginning with Cohort2. First, participants desired less pre-program work prior to PD sessions. In response, we plan tomake pre-program work optional, as well as providing time estimates for completion. Tofacilitate richer discussions, the time allocated to breakout groups will be increased, the numberof participants per room will be reduced, and additional structure will be provided duringbreakouts to avoid

We plan to leverage our framework in the process of connecting ways in which elements ofengineering culture may be acting as perpetuators of engineering’s ‘weed out’ nature by causing studentsto perceive exclusion from the engineering community.By exploring engineering culture literature in parallel with engineering attrition and retention literature,we will be able to apply an organizational culture lens to the challenge of engineering student retention.With this new lens being used to examine a known problem from a new perspective, a new set ofconsiderations and strategies could be at the disposal of higher
