TheUnited States Coast Guard Marine Safety Center plans to create a policy for hybrid green shipsthat use this technology as a power source in the near future, so it is essential for future CoastGuard officers to study the factors that go into the solar cells and how they would beimplemented on a hybrid green ship. Researchers have defined the benefits of using electricpower on boats as a maintenance fee reduction capability, increased safety with less fuel onboard, and zero greenhouse gas emission [5]. With this potential increase in safety and cost,more boating
in college, little is known about the academic success of collegestudents with ADHD, and even less is known about students with ADHD in STEM [6].Individuals who have been diagnosed with ADHD exhibit inattention, impulsivity, andhyperactivity [7]. College students with ADHD can experience academic failure andunderachievement [8], and they also face challenges with motivation, anxiety, time management,and general study skills [9]. Additionally, college students with ADHD often have more difficultthan their peers with executive functioning skills (i.e., time management, information processing,planning, and organization)—neurocognitive processes responsible for problem solving-behaviors and attention control—that have been shown to be required

Seeing a similarfrustration in our students we sought a way to adapt our program to ensure our students could meetthe demands and requirements of future employers. One way BME programs can adapt to industrydemands is by increasing the amount of design experiences for students [7]. This can be done byincluding sophomore and junior-level engineering design

importance of flexibility when planshave to change. First, we had to cancel the AERIM REU program in summer 2020, then had topivot to a fully virtual format in the summer of 2021 due the COVID-19 pandemic [15]. TheAERIM REU program was finally again offered in-person in the summer of 2022, hence allowingfor the inclusion of an outreach activity. The initial plan was to partner with a non-profit sciencecenter in the city of Detroit. Unfortunately, the science center was experiencing staffing changes,as well as ongoing challenges due to COVID-19, so the AERIM REU PIs had to come up with analternative.The School of Engineering and Computer Science (SECS) at Oakland University has a robust andactive K-12 outreach program that runs year-round and

& Future Development/ApplicationsIn this paper, we presented a serious game to familiarize players with the community resilienceand DEI-based multi-criteria decision-making process and its fundamental concepts. The gamewas developed for the high school, college, and professional levels, and pilot tested in twodifferent settings, first for high schoolers at summer camp and second for community resilienceresearchers at a research meeting. Feedback was collected after the second pilot test about itseducational and applicational potential. Suggestions on game modification were also collected.We plan to further develop the game as an introductory learning module in structural engineeringeducation in collaboration with experts in game

The different components, including charge controller, solarpanels, electrical loads, DC-AC inverter, and batteries were described and how a complete system couldbe designed to meet particular load requirements.The remaining time of the in-country workshop was spent in practical design and implementation of asolar electric system on the ENS campus. Prior to arriving in Burundi, Chris Igiraneza, organized theacquisition of the solar electric system components to be used in the ENS deployment. This includedfour 250W solar panels, four 200Ah lead acid batteries, and a combined charge controller/inverter. Theoriginal plan was to purchase these from an experienced dealer in Kenya. However, due to
successful, but there are improvements we plan to make. In the next improved iteration ofthe ERSP course, we will change the grading structure (previously graded on a grade A, B, C, Dscale) to one of Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory. Given that the course is only a 1-credit hour course,the pressure of obtaining an A can overshadow the ERSP experience as we have anecdotallyexperienced with some students in the past two cohorts. In the next two years, we plan to focus oninstitutionalization of the program in the CS and ECE departments. We also strive to utilize ERSPas a recruitment tool for minoritized students in CS and ECE by promoting the program throughstudent professional organizations such as SWE, NSBE, SHPE, WICS. We also plan to pay moreattention

Thispaper also draws comparisons between the scholar cohorts and all students entering the ECUengineering program in the same semester to identify differences in GPA and retention.RecruitmentIn Spring 2020, in-person recruitment events were held in various local high schools throughoutEastern North Carolina. Unfortunately, the onset of the global Covid-19 pandemic forced thecancellation of several planned in-person recruiting events. The uncertainty of the Fall 2020semester in regards to whether classes would be held in person or remote, caused severalstudents to reconsider starting college with the pandemic ongoing. With potential enrollmentdeclines looming as a result

Ultimately these facultytaught online calculus courses both with and without the models from Fall 2020 through Spring2022. We conducted pre and post participation interviews and report on their experiences. Allparticipants reported their intention to continue to use the models beyond conclusion of theproject and planned to try them in face-to-face instruction. The paper will discuss more detailsabout the interview findings and conclude by making some recommendations for others whomay be interested in exploring the use of hands-on models in Calculus instruction.IntroductionThe

The Urban STEMintervention, the first attempt to offer PLTL in IUPUI math classes, was an overwhelmingsuccess: both Urban STEM cohorts showed significantly lower DFW rates in calculus 1compared to students not engaged in PLTL, including no failing grades (compared to a 13.5%failure rate for non-PLTL participants). Building on that success, we have continued to expandPLTL in key sophomore engineering classes and have plans to expand into a sophomoreComputer Information Technology class. We are also laying the groundwork for futureopportunities to support PLTL in foundational mathematics courses that support engineeringstudents.University of Memphis: STEM Ambassador ProgramThe

first of three primary assessments is a team project, segmented intoa project proposal, final team pitch, and final team report. Prior to beginning work on thisproject, students are given opportunities to work with a variety of peers during class activitiesand then given structured time during class to form a team of two or three total members. Thisproject provides students a framework for exploring problem spaces of which they share mutualcuriosity, developing multiple ideas to address this problem, discuss their ideas with experts,develop and deliver an inspiring pitch, and write a brief implementation plan and complete abusiness model outline.The second assessment is an active learning, peer teaching activity [7].

The primary step indetermining whether first COOP impacts retention is to control for confounding factors like otherparts of curriculum, extra-curricular opportunities, non-academic support, and resourcesavailable, and even student’s self-motivation to persist in the degree. Future work will also focuson exploring students' COOP experiences and how they impact students' attitudes toward theirmajors and career goals. To achieve this, we plan to collect data on students' COOP experiencesand conduct surveys and interviews to understand their effects on students' perceptions. Byinterviewing first COOP students, it can be explored what encourages students to continue inengineering
