tofreshman engineering courses.1. IntroductionFirst-year engineering courses can be difficult to design — they need to be effective atconveying crucial concepts, enjoyable to keep students engaged and interested, and useful to theextent that they provide students with knowledge and skills, offering more opportunities for themin the future. Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) offers an Engineering Fundamentalscourse (ENGR-1100) which has been historically mathematics-focused. This is the firstengineering-related course students experience at MTSU, and students faced difficultmathematics lectures that ultimately drove numerous students away from the discipline.According to MTSU's course catalog, the Engineering Fundamentals course is described

The digital platform ofinterest here is the interactive textbook with integrated online homework. While these tools aremore common in math and introductory science courses, interactive textbooks for engineeringcourses are becoming more widely available [1-5].Historically, engineering textbooks have been the antithesis of active learning with static text thatis updated about once per decade.

To contribute to faculty developmentresearch, our study illuminates several metaphors engineering faculty use to discuss assessmentconcepts and knowledge. This paper helps to answer the research question: which metaphors dofaculty use when talking about assessment in their classrooms? Through interviews grounded inmental model theory, six metaphors emerged: (1) cooking, (2) playing golf, (3) driving a car, (4)coaching football, (5) blood tests, (6) and generically playing a sport or an instrument.

Every logicsignal can be probed, gate delay can be tested, and power consumption measured.Given that our course emphasizes building complex logic from scratch, discrete logic chipsprovide excellent emphasis on fundamentals. However, it has been decades since digital logicsystems were actually built like this. While design with discrete logic chips may still bepedagogically useful, it no longer represents professional practice.A second approach is to use graphical simulators, such as CedarLogic [1] and LogiSim Evolution[2].

discussion,future improvements to the projects will be covered along with concluding remarks.BackgroundThe idea of implementing programming projects in engineering courses is not novel. In recentyears the number of projects involving the use of programming software such has MATLAB hasrapidly grown. This growth in the mechanical engineering field has occurred for two reasons: 1)it helps provide students with more exposure to programing which is desired skill in industry and2) allows instructors to assign problems that would otherwise be cumbersome to solve by hand.When designing an engineering curriculum, it is important to consider problems and projects toincorporate concepts from Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL).PBL

Are engineering researchers willing to share their data, and 3.What barriers exist for sharing engineering data? Results demonstrate knowledge of andacceptance of open access (OA) practices but when it comes to data, engineering researchers aremore reluctant and less prepared to share their data widely and may need guidance on RDM bestpractices

The focus of signals and systems for Biomedical Engineering (BME) is on modeling andanalysis of physiological signals, which are typically not periodic and are not alwayspredictable. This presents a unique educational opportunity in that BME students get to workwith their own physiological signals. In this way, they can relate the concepts and models tohow their own bodies operate as they analyze their blood pressure, heart rhythms (ECG), pulseoximetry (PPG), muscle stimulation (EMG), brain activation (EEG), and other relevant signals.MotivationSignals and

In 2005,the results of a survey of first-year programs showed that over 70% of the response had sometype of freshman dedicated course either in their department or by the college. Over half of theresponses had a FYE program for all students entering the college of engineering [1]. Part of thiswas attributed to a resurgence of emphasizing engineering design. Froyd et al. in 2012 [2]discussed five major shifts in engineering education. The first shift was switching from practicalengineering to more theoretical and analytical, which occurred in response to World War II. Inthe 1990s, engineering education started switching back to an emphasis on engineering designwhich still holds true today.A

)IntroductionLabor market indicators predict continued growth of well-paid employment in science andengineering[1], but evidence suggests lower readiness among rural students for jobs in these fields.Rural students are now graduating at rates comparable to their urban and suburban peers, butcontinue to fall behind in pursuing postsecondary education, including in engineering[2]. Multiplestudies indicate that these differences begin long before individuals enter the workforce and arebased in large part on the students’ sense of belonging in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM)[3-4]. Evidence points to the positive role that an equitable learningenvironment (ELE) can play in secondary classrooms to ensure that all students, particularly
