South AsiaData CollectionData was collected via semi-structured, one-to-one interviews in the middle of October 2022.The interview protocol was developed to guide participant to reflect on their team experienceschronologically and capture their reactions to the team interaction and dynamics. We focused onsoliciting significant milestones and key events from the participants and attempting tounderstand the roles of everyone in the team and how the person(s) influenced the dynamics.Therefore, we drafted the protocol based on the framework of Tuckman’s team developmentalsequence model [11-12] discussed in the literature review section above.

design solution; “What do you need to know in order to solve theproblem?” We examined 150 middle-school student engineering notebooks to determine: 1. Dostudents correctly anticipate the presence of each type of STEM connection in the unit (science,technology, engineering, mathematics)? 2. Do students correctly anticipate the nature of theSTEM connections in the unit? In answering these questions, we can discover if studentsdetermine that they must learn the very same STEM concept(s) for which the curriculum wasdesigned. If students anticipate the correct connections, we have reason to believe this supportsstudents’ feelings of autonomy, competence, and motivation. The answer to our questionsprovides the impetus for further investigation into

ground stations are RF ground stations and use either aparabolic dish antenna or a Yagi antenna [1]. Parabolic dish antennas are shaped as concaveshell, while Yagi antennas have small perpendicular rods that run along a long main rod. Thebenefits of parabolic dish antennas are that they are less complex, inexpensive, and highlydirectional [10]. The detriment of parabolic dish antennas is that their size depends heavily ongain and desired frequency [10]. The benefits of a Yagi antenna are that they are highlydirectional and relatively inexpensive [10]. The detriments are that they have low gains if small,and high gains if large, therefore, large bandwidth results in a larger design [10]. Parabolic dishantennas tend to be used in the S-band, while

The two qualitative questions were also used aspedagogical tools based on experiential learning best practices.

Leveraging Faculty Externship to Develop New Concentrations and Specializations in Construction Management CurriculaAbstractThis "Work in Progress" paper provides insight into a viable strategy for enhancing ConstructionManagement (CM) curricula through the integration of concentration(s) and specialization(s)within program degree paths via formalized engagement of a faculty member industry residency.Ultimately, a faculty member's industry residency aims to gain familiarity and hands-onexperience utilizing cutting-edge industry trends and best practices. It requires embedding a full-time faculty member within an industry environment during a typical summer academicsemester, reducing available faculty resources for the related degree
involved over the years teaching Mechanical, Industrial,Manufacturing, and Mechatronics Engineering Technology capstone courses at PNW.In the 1980’s and 1990’s, capstone projects were typically associated with a student’s workplaceat this university which was, at that time, focused on part-time adult learners. In the past twodecades the student body has shifted to younger, full-time students and senior capstone projecttopics, execution and outcomes have changed with the changing student body. With the shiftaway from part-time students, there are fewer adult learners in the classroom who are currentlyworking in the field. This results in a larger population of students who do not have existingaccess to industrial project experiences.Prior to this

This paper proposes a Deep Learning NeuralNetworks approach that helps students select their best-fit specialization in a specific category.Deep learning is a subset of machine learning, but it can determine whether a prediction isaccurate through its own neural network- no human help is required [1]. The proposed systemwill use a dataset that contains student data that is related to the general education coursesrequired for their program, such as grades, the number of hours spent on each course's materials,the opinion of the student about the content of each course, and the course(s) that the studentenjoyed the most.
