AtXYZ University, ABC is an introductory design course where remote-controlled scale cars aredesigned, analyzed, built, and tested by groups of students. Each group was allocated a budgetwith which they can acquire all the necessary parts. The project was divided into three segments.First, the students construct custom powertrains that can be housed in a gearbox. Then, a steeringcomponent made up of a servo and a parallelogram linkage mechanism is designed and assembled.Finally, students manufacture a custom chassis that can accommodate and support the weight ofall the electronics (including sensors), the gearbox, and the

Over time,this work affords historically minoritized groups the opportunity to leverage their richexperiences and cultural assets in a way that benefits all stakeholders. The 4th-2th grade Arizona educators who comprise the teacher members of the SPV Labparticipate in a six-week summer Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program. Workingwith university faculty and graduate students from engineering, education, and related fields,teachers learn about PV manufacturing, engage in engineering research projects (e.g., building,programming, and testing a monitoring device that

Most of the participants in this study, except Jessica, who switchedin the first year of her graduate school, reported that they were impacted by the extension ingraduation time. David had one year left to graduate when he switched to a new research groupbecause of his advisor's retirement. Joining a new research group extended his researchobjectives and resulted in an additional year to graduation. According to David, "The direction of the project changed and it affected me because I was originally more focused on doing simulations. But then [the new advisor's] expectations of me changed. [The new advisor] expects me

Challenges of developing writing skills amongundergraduate STEM curricula are addressed by Mayo and Wheaton [3] who state that writingassignments can be developed such that they assist students in connecting their technical work toreal-world applications. In their lesson plan, the students were expected to post their work on apublic platform encouraging students to produce quality work. Richards and Milanovicestablished partnerships with professional writing faculty, industry members and technicalcourse instructors to mentor senior design project students in effective writing through pairedteaching [4].

Pursuant to this goal, a capstone project course was added to the updatedcurriculum of the BSCS degree. Even though the six Educational Student Outcomes (ESOs)prescribed by ABET [6] are addressed by the core courses in the curriculum, adding a capstoneproject course to the core curriculum brings together all the six ESOs in one course in a polishedand refined manner for students to see the relationship among all six ESOs. The capstonespecifically focuses on ESO #3 (communication skills), ESO #4 (legal and ethical principles), andESO #5 (teamwork). The foundational block in the

The difficulties of implementing Problem-Based Learning (PBL) are highlighted in [4], in which they outline several common barriers andprovide detailed strategies for fitting them into course projects and activities. A more generalsystematic approach is presented in [6] which sets up a framework for addressing and resolvingbarriers to student learning outcomes and faculty-driven curricular modifications.

Itis important to mention that even after the classes resumed in our campuses during the 2022terms, students keep on demanding courses or at least some sessions of a course in an onlineformat.We consider that a good model for Architectural Engineering courses should include a mix ofactivities, including the use of models in the classroom, some videos or documentaries fromfamous structures or construction processes, some collaborative activities or small projects tobe solved in teams of students and also, some online sessions in order to develop some digitaltransformation competences in our students.

This allows for thesis or final project courses, often taught to awide range of undergraduate students, to qualify for AcEq.Academic Equivalency was designed to offer an alternate path for assessment in languages otherthan English, in countries outside the United States and Western Europe. Despite that intent,fourteen of the fifteen academic equivalencies are in the United States. The champions of theseprograms typically pursue AcEq as a way to provide structure to their courses. It should benoted that only a small portion of AcEq-qualifying students pursue and

Faculty at all institutions are obviously recruited from thePhD granting institutions and consequently have typically spent four or more years conductingadvanced research usually on grant money, have authored papers and reports based on theirwork, and therefore enter the academic world already aware of, and presumably now able toexecute on their own, similar projects.However, other factors come in to play.

The CCSR framework was developed through a detailed reviewof the evidence of the role of noncognitive factors that contribute to successful secondary-schoolperformance and successful transition of high-school students to college. Although our project focuses oncollege undergraduates instead of high schoolers, a majority of our study participants were in their firstyear of studies. Furthermore, we see no logical

INET provides a plethora ofmodules used in communication networks, such as routers, hosts, switches, etc., which can allbe connected using wired or wireless connections, including Ethernet, PPP, IEEE 802.11, etc.[14, 15].Furthermore, the INET library also provides the ability to use different transport layer protocolswithin the simulation, such as TCP, UDP, and STCP [14]. Given the features listed, one canassume that the INET library is a highly beneficial tool for communication networks in theOMNeT++ simulation environment. OMNeT++ is indeed a powerful tool in the realm ofcommunication network simulation. Some core projects utilized with the OMNeT

The first boxes we produced, during the summer of 2021, were for students in gradesK-12. These boxes were part of an asynchronous summer program where participating studentscould follow along with videos made by our students and posted to a website. This also includedan option for high school students to learn about robotics or energy through an online Googlesites course, partially funded by an Engineering Research Center at our university. The secondbox was built starting Fall 2021 and was targeted towards teachers and 4-H agents in ruralcounties. That box also shared STEM

Our research hasmade it apparent that the Federal agencies are not used to dealing with faculty members. As anexample, in our correspondences, the current NCES Survey Director for CIP codes wrote, “SinceI have been involved the with CIP (2007), no one has expressed concern over EngineerManagement being included in Series 15” [7]. Neither are we, as faculty, accustomed tointeracting with NCES.The following is a list of action items that we believe are necessary to see this project to asuccessful completion.Desired OutcomeThe goal of this initiative is to reverse the CIP 2000 decision and return

Such reflections would likelycreate awareness of the gaps which can exist between our espoused beliefs and behaviors [13],which may in-turn reduce judgments that contribute to process incidents. Generating awarenessthrough the process of critical reflection is well established in implicit bias training [14]–[17].The objective of this project is to provide senior chemical engineering students with anopportunity to evaluate their own self-held beliefs by holding their espoused beliefs up to theirown judgments made in a simulated environment.

many civil engineering departments inpostsecondary institutions. While there have been moments where enrollments begin to increase,civil engineering departments find themselves facing low enrollments that have decreased by 60%over the last five years across the Middle East and the United States. There are many reasons thatcould be attributed to this decline, such as low entry-level salaries, over-saturation of civilengineering graduates in the job market in certain regions, and a lack of construction projects dueto the impending or current recession. Low enrollment also has an effect on the availability ofcivil engineers, especially in times of high demand, such as the passing of the recent USlegislature on rebuilding infrastructure. However
additional laboratory spaces are being renovated to supportmaterials testing and industrial automation and PLC operations.
