We begin by briefly describing the FLCmeetings completed and planned for over this time frame, followed by a detailed description ofhow we are investigating the impacts of this intervention. We will present the design of ourqualitative study which includes evaluating participant feedback. We are collecting feedbackwithin each session, as well as over the complete experience. Additionally, we plan to collect datafrom our participants’ students in their Spring semester classes to examine potential impactsmade by our members’ application of concepts gained through the experiences of the FLC. Weconclude by describing our hypothesized expectations for this work and look forward to feedbackfrom the community on these efforts.IntroductionIt is

Factors includedproduct ideation, business planning, customer discovery, team and network formation, ideapitch, people and human resources, and finance. Additionally, correlational analysesdemonstrated that these seven factors were related to each other positively. This means that ifstudents are confident about one entrepreneurial-related skill described in this instrument, theyare likely to feel confident about other entrepreneurial-related skills described in the instrument.Further and interestingly, students with a growth creative mindset tended to have high self-efficacy for product ideation, team formation, and people
-regulation in action (SRA) or strategicaction (SA), is the basis of self-regulated learning (SRL). SRC is comprised of iterative andrecursive cycles of interpreting requirements, planning (e.g., resources, time, strategies),implementing cognitive processes, monitoring progress, evaluating progress against internal andexternal standards, and continually refining approaches to better achieve goals (see Figure 1)[16]. This iterative process continues until a problem is solved or the student abandons the goal.As students manage their activities in tasks, they engage in iterative cycles of strategic activity,including actively interpreting requirements (i.e., interpreting task), developing a plan of action(i.e., planning), acting on a developed plan, and

This program engages students with 128 hours of hands-on engineering internship-like experience, mentored by two engineering faculty members.

, Quanser, TektronixInitially, IEC has focused on building its network and establishing partnerships. During the ECPproject, it became evident that the primary goal of creating a sustainable network of engineeringfaculty at HBCUs to focus on ECP was the driving force behind the IEC, but with a widerimpact. The ECP network was formed through a series of in-person and online workshops andinformational meetings, and the same approach was planned for the IEC. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the organization to change its plans, resulting in a series of mini workshopsthroughout 2020 [2]. The purpose of these workshops was to explore policies, ideas, training,infrastructure, and other topics that would support effective partnerships, and to address

[4] Before the site visit, students were lectured on how to rebuild schools, and during the visittheir professors and a graduate student explained the structural failures in the design of thebuilding. They studied the original plans and were guided to observe the correspondence betweenthe plans, the structure, and visible damages. After the tour of the school, students were asked touse the site visit experience to discuss their proposed design project and complete an exercise usingthe technique of Triple Bottom Line (TBL)’[5]. The instructions for this exercise
tasks are often outside the learning objectives of courses thatcover the mechanics, planning, and control of robotic arms. Therefore, to provide acomprehensive and engaging learning experience that can be incorporated into various formativeand summative assessments, the robotic arm needs to meet three key requirements: (1)Affordability: The robot arm should be affordable enough to enable each group of 2-3 students tohave one. (2) Portability: The robot arm should be easy to transport the robotic arm to and fromclass or study groups. (3) Untethered operation: The robot arm should be able to operate withoutthe need for wall outlets, allowing it to be used in a classroom, cafe, or park. By meeting thesethree requirements, the robotic arm will

Coastal Resiliency provides studentsan exposure to best practices in civil engineering, climate science, community planning andpolicy. At CGA, no one faculty member has expertise in these collective arenas however, as ateam, the combined knowledge of three faculty members, and several guest lecturers, has beenleveraged to annually teach a course that educates future Coast Guard Officers and civilengineers about the challenges ahead for coastal communities.

It is important to define achievable and reasonable rubrics that thestudents can understand and achieve successfully.The capstone course in the School of Engineering Technology, which is in the Purdue Polytechnic Instituteat Purdue University, is offered over two academic semesters. The needed skills to define, design anddevelop engineering technology solutions are introduced and developed. Planning and designingalternatives that meet cost, performance, and user-interface goals are emphasized while consideringdifferent design approaches. In addition, project planning, scheduling, and management techniques arestudied. Teamwork, global and societal concerns, and professional ethics are integrated into course
Vision, Visualization, and Navigation Toolboxes, for fast algorithm development and testing. The paper presents three projects for autonomous mobile robots on the MATLAB-ROS- Gazebo simulation platform. The first project is on sensing and perception of laser scan data and its post-processing of model-based fitting. The second project is on the path planning of an autonomous mobile robot implementing the Wavefront algorithm. The third project obtains closed-loop control of the robot’s behavior based on visual hints. These three projects cover the fundamental components of controlling an autonomous mobile robot, including sensing, perception, decision-making, and low-level motion control. We believe
the sustainable disposal of food wastes was installed in aK-12 school, and researchers assisted teachers in generating hands-on, engineering-focusedlesson plans based on the digester technology. A pre-/post-assessment was conducted for abiology lesson. Results indicate students improved in their knowledge of sustainability issuesrelated to food waste and aerobic respiration. Students also self-reported learning more aboutsustainability, engineering, and biology concepts through the lesson. Perhaps most importantly,students were excited about the hands-on learning experience provided by the digester andexpressed increased interest in engineering and STEM-related careers.I.

At our school, civilengineering students take a senior seminar course that has a collection of topics to prepare themfor successful entry into and growth throughout their professional life. Among the topics in ourinitial offering of this seminar course was one seminar on the basics of financial literacy andmanagement, which proved to be very popular and highly rated as to its perceived usefulness bythe students. As a result of student feedback, the seminar was expanded to two seminar periods.This led the author to ask the questions: (1) is there a need for financial literacy education
