Awards. These awards are offered toprofessionals, artists, and people from academics at any career level. However, some awards maybe for certain types of scholars and are limited to specific career levels. In general, some awardsallow you to select the country and/or host institution while others do not permit that. Similarly,some awards require you to have a letter of support from the host institution at the time ofapplication. For the Fulbright Scholar award, there are three different categories: Teaching,Research, and Teaching-Research. The research award consists of activities related to research thatincludes scientific research, practice-based research, etc. The research work can be applied andcan take place in a laboratory, field, or an

Such is the case of implementing InteractiveLearning Demonstrative methodologies (ILD) introduced by [14] and integrating thelaboratory into physics classes [15] and [16].The reasons for the lack of motivation [6] that primary and secondary students have inlearning physics are difficulty in understanding what they are being

The Tier I researchinstitution will usually look to see that an individual has been able to generate sufficient externalfunding to support part of their salary (sufficient to reduce their base teaching load), and tosupport the salaries of several PhD and Master’s students, along with perhaps acquiringequipment to outfit a research laboratory. The individual must also produce some minimumnumber of journal and conference papers in readily recognizable quality venues sufficient toproject an image of rising authority in their chosen field.

While approaches vary andsuccess depends on a number of factors, research demonstrates that an integrated approach toprofessional skill development is the most impactful for student learning.

As a teacher he designed and created the Sustainability capstone course which has annually partnered with community stakeholders to address sustainability challenges at all scales.

The room can hold more than 40 students, but with these activities it is best to keepthe enrollment in a single section to 24 or so. Thus, two sections are usually necessary eachsemester. The room has long tables with electrical outlets every few feet. Two sinks are availablein the lab space a few steps outside of the classroom, so water access and cleanup are easy.Another advantage of using this classroom is that the students can see the laboratory equipmentthat they will be using
haveshown, using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), that the size of the particles in the weldednugget are much smaller for the samples with SiC powder than the samples without the powder[4,6]. The finer grains in the Al-Fe-SiC composites impeded the formation of new dislocations inthe materials, causing the strength of the material to increase. This is the same mechanism for theincrease in hardness. In most engineering laboratories, an SEM will not be used for more basiclabs, but many classes teach about the use and purpose of the SEM. However, teaching studentsabout what they should expect to observe when using an SEM is just as important, such as grainsizes and IMC layers, and how they are expected to affect mechanical properties

These courses are not differentiated in Table 1.Examples of course modules include: • CEEN / AEEN 3303 (Structural Analysis) teaches students to calculate the effects of external loads on structural components. Key to student success in advanced structural design and capstone courses is development of a systemic view of a structure and the ability to specify ultimate structural demands.

. Teaching gives us the opportunity totouch many lives, but to a limited depth for a limited period of time. As mentors, we becomemore deeply involved in the careers and lives of our students, cultivating professionalrelationships and, often, lifelong friendships. Just as we devote time to becoming a betterteacher, we should also avail ourselves of the collective wisdom of outstanding mentors. Thispaper has distilled the advice of more than a dozen successful faculty members and facultydevelopers on a wide range of topics related to recruiting students and helping those studentssucceed in research.7.

Building on the concept map ofModule 1, we ask faculty to brainstorm specific activities that engage undergraduate research students ina way to create value for their own research, teaching, and service activities. Examples might be toengage summer undergraduate research students in the generation of preliminary research data for newresearch ideas, development of K-12 or other education and outreach program materials, or evendevelopment of an effective teaching laboratory or maker space at their institution.

Recent research has shown potential in this area [8],[9]. Future work in this area may also consider how AI can assist in coding and applicationdevelopment.ConclusionWhile curriculum and laboratory development conclusions are preliminary, a few things havebecome apparent to the faculty stakeholders.

STEM educationkeeps students engaged and results in improved retention of knowledge on topics taught [2], [4].While traditional lectures are still the most common way of teaching, many universities arefocusing more attention on more student-centered activities.Engineering education highly relies on practical applications. Laboratories are the most commonway of practicing engineering theory. Knowledge gained from engineering laboratories is beingused for applying engineering applications to real life design of processes and development ofproducts [5]. Building bridges to transfer theoretical skills to industry applications is important interms of improving future employee quality for [6]. However, the most common pedagogicalmethod is to use
