DescriptionsThe research in this paper is an extension of efforts to develop an introductory civil andenvironmental engineering (CEE) course as described by Henschen [13]. Throughout recentyears, the course (referred to as CEE 190) has been overhauled from a one-credit seminar-basedcourse to a four-credit project-based course.The changes to the course were motivated by department-wide efforts to incorporate curriculumrevisions that better prepare engineering students for graduation and professional practice. Fiveskills were identified to be taught and reinforced at each curriculum level, as demonstrated byFigure 1. Figure 1. Skills to be taught and reinforced at each curriculum level [13].The purpose of CEE 190 is not only to introduce

As smart products become ubiquitous, they provide enormous opportunities forscientists and engineers to invent new products and build interconnected systems of vast scale. Asa result, the STEM workforce demands are shifting rapidly. Mechanical engineers will play asignificant role in innovating and designing smart products and manufacturing systems of theIndustry 4.0 revolution. However, the current mechanical engineering curriculum has not keptpace. In this paper, we present an overview of a new curriculum along with the design of aninexpensive smart flowerpot device that was used as an instructional tool throughout thecurriculum.

to develop an inclusive curriculum and classroom. The students of color in these classrooms also tend to do better academically in the field, in comparison to their peers who do not have such an opportunity to learn in this manner. Thus, it is imperative to examine how professional development experiences can be transformative learning experiences for STEM faculty, and what viewpoints, if any, these faculty bring into their learning of topics related to access, diversity, equity, and inclusion for students of color. With the goal of further uncovering the ways in which inclusive teaching and learning practices can become an integral part of STEM classrooms, this paper presentation provides a framework for

In turn, anti-toxics leaders brought in the civilrights activists’ racial critiques (Cole and Foster, 2000).

As the industry continues to expand and there is a greater need forcommunication and leadership abilities in the 21st century, engineers who are working areanticipated to possess both technical expertise and professional skills. However, the typicalchemical engineering undergraduate core curriculum has not adapted to prepare students for themultiple needs encompassed by the chemical industry. Lack of industry-relevant examples/topicsand applications in the course contents results in less motivated and/or engaged

Professors arefacilitators who provide guidance to students and encourage students to think and work throughthe problem. This process has been shown to increase student motivation, allowing them to applythe knowledge learned in engineering classes, in an interactive environment. Students get a chanceto discuss concepts with each other and collaborate on projects working towards a common goal– this is also representative of a real-world project. Hadim et. al.

The predominant helicopterused for initial helicopter training in the U.S. is the Robinson R22. Its unmatched low initialacquisition cost makes it a natural choice for flight schools. It was determined, through initialresearch that the operating characteristics of the R22, were marginal, at best, for initial pilot training.The R22 suffers from an extremely low inertia main rotor system.

For example, there was no common CS curriculum. There hadalso been a lack of administrative support for having teachers attend CS PD. In addition, counselors hadnot encouraged students entering high schools offering the CS course to take it. To meet CS goals in the state, an RPP approach was implemented.
