Information Literacy in Graduate Course Term PapersAbstractThe Materials Processing course at Northeastern University enrolls both Master’s level studentswith a concentration in Materials and undergraduates who select the course as an elective fortheir combined BS/MS degree. For the term project, students work in teams to research and writea journal-quality review article detailing the state of the art for a particular process. This studyaimed to assess students’ information literacy (IL) skills as demonstrated in this term project toidentify IL skills with which graduate and upper-level undergraduate students may need moresupport. A secondary goal was to examine any differences in information between theundergraduate and

LOMBOK is a package designed to help reduce repetitive code in Java programs suchas the code for getters and setters [9]. By using LOMBOK we were able to reduce in places theamount of coding necessary since LOMBOK handled the generation of this code at compile timeincluding certain constructors and getters. Additionally, certain logical checks could beeliminated since some of these could be handled with LOMBOK annotations.3.3 Testing As stated above a proper automated unit test suite was not included due to time constraints.Despite this, some non-automated tests were included to

Due to COVID and often limited resources, this can be a difficulttopic to teach. The authors pioneered a way to implement the same IoT systems both withphysical devices and a Virtual Machine (VM) environment using a Raspberry Pi with servos,buttons, and lights. The VM used the Quick Emulator (QEMU) on the Ubuntu Linux platform.QEMU is a type 2 hypervisor that runs within the user space and performs virtual hardwareemulation.

that are driving the Industry 4.0 revolution for smart factories [3–5]. Themechanical engineer of the future needs the same foundation of technical skills and ability tosolve problems as always. But additional skills are needed to participate in the IoT revolution.Thus, preparing mechanical engineering students to contribute in this new field is a pressingeducational need.To meet this need, we developed a new modernized mechatronics course that focuses on the IoTtechnologies, and incorporates project-based learning (PjBL) as well as software engineeringmethods from computer science. Our overarching goal is to integrate skills from computerscience and mechanical engineering, and bridge the gap in mechanical engineering curriculum tobetter

We analyzed the student responses to identify categories of support that peermentors currently provide. We also categorize areas of needed support through the lens oflonger-term student success, students' sense of belonging, and retention of first-year designstudents.We found the students perceived the mentors as positively influencing their learning, workinggroups, and sense of belonging.

In 2050 it is estimated that 75% of people will live in urbanenvironments [1]. While this is good for nature because people moving out of rural areas willallow nature to take back those areas, but for people, this means spending less time outdoors [1].It is estimated that people spend approximately 90% of their time indoors [2].
