At the same time, the rise of crowd-sourcedhomework solution services makes finding and copying homework solutions (commonly referredto as “cheating”) exceptionally tempting for even the best students [2]. Clearly, the unquestionedrole of homework in engineering coursework should be re-evaluated, clearly defined, and refinedto accomplish its intended end.Fortunately, ASEE’s active educator community has not been silent on this topic. For thepurpose of this discussion, homework pursues a “three-fold goal… practice, instructor feedback,and self-assessment” while simultaneously considering

methods.The assessment results from a student self-reflection survey for exposing vibration and modalanalysis support the need to expose mechanical engineering technology students to theseconcepts. Student responses to open ended questions indicate they are able to grasp someconcepts of vibration analysis using FEA as an analysis tool.IntroductionIt is understood that undesirable vibrations in mechanical structures can potentially lead toexcessive deflections and system failures. When the natural frequency of vibration of a structurecoincides with the natural frequency of excitation, resonance occurs, leading to excessivedisplacements [1]. These excessive displacements can cause an annoying oscillation in minorcases or can cause catastrophic failures

Finally, a range of backgrounds can increase the team’sability to understand and empathize with different customers and stakeholders. Allowing for aculture of inclusion strengthens the output of a group and maximizes the benefits of a diverseteam [1-2].

Scholarship in neurodiversity studies,along with the activism of the neurodiversity movement, has developed in response to thewidespread pathologizing of neurodivergent people that furthers discrimination and oppression.Prominent neurodiversity studies scholar Nick Walker [1] calls the cultural paradigm underlyingthis oppression the ‘pathology paradigm’ and notes that it is the dominant paradigm in the worldtoday.

Within agriculture, using machines for farming autonomouslywithout human labor is one significant shift that has taken place [1]. In the US, in particular, thisis partly due to the overall shrinking agricultural workforce, resulting from a lack of interest inthe profession coupled with a political and cultural climate restricting immigration foragriculture-related work [2]. According to some reports, there are over 200 “AI in agriculture”start-ups [3] in addition to research and development in established companies and academia.Automation

In the literature, mentoring isdefined as collaborative professional learning characterized by an egalitarian approach of sharingknowledge, working together, and nurturing the whole person to improve practice [3-5].Although mentors and mentees share a learning experience over time, mentoring is traditionallya one-way learning activity.

However, theconcerns of many early childhood educators regarding children’s technology usage [4] oftenimpedes CT integration [5].

These includeshortening time to final product, enhanced quality, and increased product flexibility [1].
