This paper will guide educators to designand implement ML/AI into engineering curricula (without a specific AI or ML focus within thecourse) using simple, cheap, and open-source tools and technological aid from an online platformin collaboration with Edge Impulse. Specific examples include 1) facial recognition technologiesand the biases involved, 2) air quality detection using an accelerometer, 3) roadside litter detector,4) automated bird identifier, and 5) wildlife camera trap detection.IntroductionIn 2015, while seeking to create a global development framework, the United

Moreover, strengthening the vertical transfer pathway to engineering disciplinescan improve equity by increasing the social and economic mobility of this diverse subpopulationof students (Dowd, 2012; Terenzini et al., 2014).

. If a class only examineshistorical events, it will neglect the study of technologies that are on the horizon, whichgraduating engineers will actually work on over the course of their careers. Right now, some of the technologies that will shape the next decade and beyond are quiteclear. It’s obvious that virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and autonomous vehicles will all playa role in shaping our future. But as these technologies develop, there aren’t case studies to use toproperly analyze or discuss them in a classroom setting. This is where science fiction can play animportant role. Writers have been writing about these technologies for as long as we haveimagined them. In fact, the term Metaverse first appeared in the 1992

The combination of studying both Business and Engineering disciplines has introduced me to a wide variety of careers in which both leadership and problem-solving skills will be necessary. I have been exposed to the most important aspects of both the business and engineering disciplines, which is extremely beneficial in a world where technology is becoming increasingly dominate.Multidisciplinary teaming can be challenging; however, the response has been positive amongstthe engineering students with the VIP and EPICS Programs. One of the engineering leaders inan EPICS team appreciated students who had expertise and
their engagement, learning, andachievement while removing the demotivation and mental stress of having lower grades [37].Faculty can also make students see the importance of the class at the beginning of the semester.Asking students what they want to take from the class and apply it in their career as theassignment after the first lecture can promote intrinsic motivation. In addition, faculty shouldutilize active learning pedagogy that has shown evidence to increase student engagement duringcourse learning.References[1] R. M. Gonyea, K. A. Kish, G. D. Kuh, R. N.

Tag lines developed through market research for the campaign included:“engineers make a world of difference”; “engineers are creative problem solvers”;“engineers help shape the future”; and “engineering is essential to our health, happiness,and safety”.In the decade following the campaign, the number of baccalaureate degrees awarded inengineering and computer science approximately doubled from a total of 74,387 in 2009[4] to a total of 144,818 in 2019 [5]. This increase in baccalaureate degrees suggests thatthe campaign was effective in its goal of increasing the total number of individualsgraduating in engineering and computer

IntroductionDigital circuit design is a fundamental course for many engineering majors including computerengineering, electrical engineering and computer science. This class covers the fundamentalknowledge of digital circuits, including Boolean algebra, logic minimization, binary arithmetic,circuit analysis and design. Digital circuit design also provides a foundation for understanding theinner workings of computers, which is essential for students who want to pursue careers incomputer engineering or related fields after graduation. From taking this class, students will learnhow to build digital circuits using basic components such as transistors, gates, and flip-flops
