) and although BAC and BA stayed fairly similar in stock prices, TSLA dropped almost $80 a share leaving me with massive losses. Unfortunately, nobody could have seen Elon Musk deciding to buy twitter before buying this stock, so I do not believe this would have happened normally and probably would have taken the same route as BAC and BA. According to Figure 8, I would say there are no strategies involved in investing because everyone’s are just scattered and there is no real way of finding the best investment plan. Overall, this will be very useful to keep in mind in the future when making a lot of money from an Engineering job. I learned a lot from this exercise about how volatile the stock

In this way the development of interpersonal, structural, task planning etc skillsbecomes an explicit part of our curriculum, which is assessed separately to the project basedcourses in which these skills are applied.The assessment task consists of an approximately 2000 word essay that is produced underexamination conditions. It is submitted electronically through the learning managementsystem Moodle. Each year around 1500 students complete this essay. The essay is co-marked by both PBL experts and department staff, with a total workload allocation of 20minutes per essay. The assignment is marked with a simple pass/fail determination, and noexplicit feedback beyond the pass/fail grade is provided to the

This paper’s author was the main architect of the grading scheme overhaul.Unfortunately, at the beginning of the semester the second instructor fell ill and was replacedseveral weeks into the semester. The substitute instructor had not been planning to teach a largecourse that term, and as such focused mainly on lectures and writing exam problems, but was notavailable for much additional help.Students in the course attend 50-minute lectures three times a week, and a 50

This provided a level ofrealistic work that they plan to see in future positions as their technical skills will be applied invarious applications.The tangible understanding of a structural application allowed more logical connection to theproject compared to other possible cases. Additionally, they developed a better understanding oftheir connection with technology as developers. There were various challenges they faced byhaving to utilize various software to develop a single product. This broadened their perspectiveof the capacity each software has and the need for integration of technology at various levels.Additionally, as creators, they began to visualize the

The most common responses were the opportunity to practice and the ability to visualize the wiring. 4. How could the wiring module be improved? One student said it would be helpful to see the wiring colors separately.Future work. Planned improvements include (1) provide explanatory information about why thewiring needs to be a certain way; (2) adding a sequence number to each wire; (3) showing theinterface steps in a to do list; (4) eliminating each step as it is completed, (5) adding a videoshowing an someone interfacing a physical module, sensors, and relay, and (6) adding real-lifevideo of the
educationinstitutions who plan to implement sustainability in their curriculum. This finding also provided a practicaldirection to governments who want to find a sustainable way to reach their goals of greenhouse gasreduction, to invest in “green” education and to develop students’ “green” mindsets, which will in turn toincrease future engineers and general civilians’ sustainability awareness and practices to keep the worldmore sustainable.Our future research will focus on developing more open-ended questions in our survey to gain moreunderstanding of students’ mindset on “green”, before and after junior design and senior capstone designclasses, conducting survey in serval years after these students’ graduation. This will help use to understandthe impact of
to use the notebook combined with Python, while the second class will be applying the traditional approach. This stage is not yet done as this is still a work in progress. Nevertheless, the plan is to introduce this new approach next year when the kinetics and reactor design course is offered.Presenting this research at the 2023 ASEE annual conference, while it is still at the progressstage, enables us to interact with other instructors who have done something similar to shareexperiences and to develop our structured assessment for next year’s intervention. In principle,the proposed intervention can be implemented in other engineering courses that have a similarteaching challenge and require a computational approach. Following the
application of this project, researchers willmodify and improve the laboratory experiment that students will work through in order toincrease student ability to apply in-class knowledge to this system that is more like what theywould experience on the field.End Goal In future developments to push this toward applications across a whole degree plan, theresearchers intend to open the process to enable the students to design and implement otherprocesses, such as replacing the process implemented in the CSTR. Specifically, the idea ofreplacing the CSTR with a bioprocess (e.g., a simple fermentation using brewer’s yeast), amembrane separation process, or a fractional distillation of a water/ethanol mixture are underconsideration.

DiscussionMost accredited civil engineering programs require a soil mechanics component as part of theircurriculum [18]. Soil testing experiments and field trips have often been favored to learngeotechnical engineering practices [19,20]. But undergraduate students rarely have theopportunity to plan, collect and interpret subsoil investigation data [21,22]. So, we propose thatour low-cost ER meter be added to the traditional set of geotechnical laboratory experiments todemonstrate the theory and applications of geophysical exploration.

Ultimately, through discussion and interaction with each other as well as theprofessor of science education supporting the curriculum work, the teachers selected the 4-partskill frame proposed by Sheldon [3]: algorithmic thinking, decomposition, abstraction, patternrecognition. They then used that framing of computational thinking to explore how best tointegrate into their various classes.

Activity.Figure 7. Volunteer and Participant Interaction During the Soft Robotics Activity.Conclusion & Recommendation for Further StudyThis type of community based-event draws a very young group of children (58% K-3). For veryyoung students to complete the activity independently, some modifications were necessary. Thethreading task proved to be the most difficult part of the activity as the small holes requiredstudents to use greater force for threading. To eliminate this bottleneck, we plan to create largerthreading holes for the students. Additionally, a rig or clip to provide students with an extra “setof hands” may help with the zip-tying step where participants were often seeking a helper. If thisactivity were to be implemented for educational
accomplish those goals, and execute those strategies. State-oriented students might set the same academic goals and devise the same strategies, but theystruggle to maintain the cognitive control needed to turn plans into success. There are three waysin which the cognitive control of state-oriented individuals breaks down. • Hesitation: Students have a hard time getting started. They procrastinate rather than engage with schoolwork. • Preoccupation: Students can have a difficult time returning to a task after interruption. • Volatility: Students can have a difficult time staying focused on a task; they get bored and find a more interesting activity rather than schoolwork.There is not a lot of research on the behavioral

Others, still, have sharedthe negative impacts that first-generation college students face based on having lower income,being under-represented, and lesser prepared [3]. While attending middle and high school, manypotential future first-generation college students lack an awareness that college is a viable path.For those that are aware of higher education, it is often seen as an expensive option or one thatisn’t possible based on current academic success since low-income and under-representedstudents are also statistically more likely to be below grade-level standards.Once in college, low-income students spend additional time and resources seeking scholarshipsand/or working in what are

In other words, how a decision canbe optimized with the benefit of reaching different people, using different processes andproducts. For example, if a student is required to decide towards selecting their majors, one ideacould be to reach out to different people (advisors from university and industry) and visualizingstep-by-step prospective career plans for students. Through such a holistic Information Gatheringprocess, advisors could be assured that students would

These challenges are associated with a high workload of the WTA. Increasing theratio of WTAs to the number of students has associated costs. Thus, we are currently studyingways to automate some of the tasks of the WTA, without sacrificing the human connection that isso key to the practice. As a next step, we plan to extend the practice to cover first-year courseslike Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Physics. Another key challenge is the engagement of teachingstaff; as mentioned above
