companies havesignificantly transformed how students study and learn in online, hybrid, or onsite environments[3]. Online learning environments have both advantages and disadvantages. A significantchallenge is how proper assessments can be conducted fairly. Academic practice is affectedsignificantly by the symbiotic relationship between the increasing number of onlineexaminations and contract cheating services. For instance, controlling the online assessmentenvironment is more challenging than controlling the onsite one. Cheating in a remotelyproctored online testing (RPOT) environment is a planned undertaking rather than panic cheatingbecause students complete their exams in isolation in their comfort zone [4]. Cheating is aided bythe rapid

To improve validity of the analysis, and tosupport planning and decision-making for the course and the NRT program, results werediscussed during a co-interpretive session with NRT program leaders [17]. Noticeable from theannual review sessions is that responses changed little from year to year.

This research recommends best practices, including the reimaging of coursecurricula to intentionally scaffold the learning and practicing of communication as a professionalskill into coursework and other co-curricular and extra-curricular experiences. Communicationskills must be holistically learned and practiced as part of student preparation, and not solely as aone-time course requirement to be completed because it is part of the student's plan of study.Specifically, students engaged in learning oral and written communication skills must do sowithin engineering contexts (i.e., problems, challenges, and research opportunities).

They can also learn more about the design process from those in industry that have worked on large scale product designs and launches.” “Students can benefit from hearing the point-of-view of current professionals on their designs and plans.

In theengineering stage, PLM should be implemented as early as possible in the creativity and designtasks leveraging marketing data [11]. The design, analysis, and testing cycle often iterates multipletimes before final approval. Ideally, design and development engineers should interact with theproduct information to properly capture the products operational space and features [1]. Rememberthat PLM systems support the changes and updates that occur during the planning and designphases, and allows them to build upon older successful designs as well as revert back to previousreleases.

The quantity of African American/Black women and Hispanic/Latinawomen faculty employed remains small among prestigious engineering and science researchinstitutions compared to other universities and colleges [5]. Women and multicultural facultybear little presence in selective universities as well [5]. Women of Color professors hold a scintilla of authority with less power and value thantheir cohorts [8].
