Researchers at the University of Illinois and Georgia Tech have been doing researchon the use of origami for civil engineering [3]. When Civil Engineering Materials became anonline class for Fall 2020 semester, the authors decided to reimagine the content of the classwhile teaching in an online format instead of simply replicating the in-person content in anonline format. The author’s university is known for hands-on learning and the students come tothe school for this experience. So, adding hands-on content was important. The course is called “Advanced Civil Engineering Materials”. It is a part of the Structuralminor. The

IntroductionThe lack of mathematics proficiency among high school students in Guatemala is a significantconcern (see [1] for details). Some students wishing to pursue a university degree in science orengineering face difficulties in their first year, as a strong background in mathematics is requiredto succeed in these fields. This problem is also evident at Galileo University, where many first-year engineering students struggle to pass their first mathematics course. This

AbstractAs engineering faculty, one of our core responsibilities is research. To be successful, you willneed to work with and mentor students, especially Ph.D. students. How should you find thesestudents, and once connected with them, how should you direct them? Unlike teaching, wheremyriad books and conferences can help you become a better teacher, there are few sources thatwill show you how to become a successful research mentor in any academic field, and fewer stillin the field of engineering. In this paper, three engineering professors with collectively morethan 100 years of experience on university faculties share their techniques, together with theadvice provided by more than a dozen highly successful faculty members and faculty developers.1

For omnifinites, this definition is used as well. For the Greeks, indefining and describing a number, the concept of “The part of a number is less than the whole.”was foundational [1-3].

Due to the growing importance of ROS in research [1] andcommercial robotics, educators began introducing ROS to enhance their robotic curricula [2–10]. Robotics is perceived in education as an excellent way to promote higher-quality learning bygrounding theoretical concepts into reality. To maximize the learning throughput, the focus of anyrobotics software platform should be on ease of use, with little time spent integrating the compo-nents [11].

As a result, this method creates a robust building envelope becauseit forms a double wall and thermal bridging (heat transferring from inside to outside) is reducedwhen insulation is blown-in all the way around the home. This eliminates the need for a wallplate, which is required where a traditional wall leaves a gap without insulation between thebottom of the wall and floor. With an integrated truss, the insulation is unbroken, and a properlyinsulated and sealed 12”-thick wall results in a wall with an appropriate R-40 ability to resist heattransfer. Thus, the thermal performance advantages of the integrated truss design are clear.Figure 1. Image of insulation used in integrated truss systems

These are based on the identity perspective(Gruber & MacMillan, 2017), which assesses entrepreneurial behavior in a way that is differentfrom “views embedded in economic rationality” (Gilati, p. 1480).

This is not a full evaluation ofindividual teachers as described by Little, Goe and Bell [1], but rather defined categories ofteaching as a functional approach to considering how the center interacts with many facultyacross the college. The types of interactions with faculty and the needed support generally matchthe categories. We formalized these categories into a teaching pyramid that defined sixcategories or levels of teaching. Interventions and support are described for each level. Byspecifying levels in terms of skills and student engagement, we explicitly support a growthmindset for teaching as faculty can learn and improve and up levels. Finally, the
