future work could be done with this style ofcollaboration. SampleThe project started as part of an introduction to biomedical engineering program at a RU(unspecified university) that was debuting a new teaching style called Innovation Based Learning(IBL). In IBL, students were allowed to pitch projects they wanted to work on for class credit, andteams were formed based on the projects selected. The project to develop the new prosthetic devicerequired advanced manufacturing methods, leading the team to form a relationship with a TCU(unspecified technical university) and its Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory. The peopleinterviewed for the publication were volunteers from among the students, facility

Inaddition, there is a need to expand the findings to consider including the role of HBCUs in abroader range of engineering, science, and other disciplines required by the nuclear sector.In 2013, the National Academy also produced a report on workforce trends in the United Statesenergy and mining sector [11]. This report is inclusive of all energy sources and includes asection on nuclear energy. In this report, nuclear energy was identified as a mature sector alongwith oil, gas, and mining.

One example of this is the use of storytelling in nursingprograms [2,3], utilizing a method that mirrors the way the nursing students will receiveinformation from future patients. In a science course, Crocetti and Barr examine the use ofstorytelling and graphic novels to deliver science literacy concepts [4]. In the engineering field,digital storytelling has become a tool to use the digital medium to convey technical information ina more accessible way to non-technical audiences [5], to learn technical information in a civilengineering laboratory setting [6], and to develop engineering

Students are provided withsuch artifacts as the donut shop’s menu, government publications for calculating sales tax, anddonut shop photos. Students are primed for success through preliminary laboratory assignmentsseparately focusing on the professional responsibilities for calculating sales tax, making change,and formatting monetary output while emphasizing the importance of breaking problems downinto their components. This approach has successfully been used as our first “major” CS1programming assignment, as

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. Some
produced include a concept map. Students leave the course with a clear listof which topics they mastered and which they are still working on. This model still permits roomfor traditional laboratory and project components.IntroductionIn standard teaching, course topics are covered on a set schedule and exams occur at set schedules.If students have not learned the material for an earlier portion of the class, the course moves alonganyway and focuses on new more difficult material that builds on the previous material thatstudent still does not understand. This promotes a fixed mindset promoting the idea that if youdidn’t get a concept, you never will. At the end of the course, students may only have a partialunderstanding of the material and may be

Students will design lightweight part (suchas lattice or topology optimized structure), practice fabricating AM parts, and performmechanical testing of the AM lightweight parts, using the AM laboratory. Due to the geometricalcharacteristics, AM lightweight part requires specific test protocols to develop an appropriatedatabase of engineering design properties, including specimen
established in a nursery setting, sold for planting, andestablished in the ground, these PNs can become widely dispersed by a number of factors,including machinery, handheld planting equipment, the movement via shoes and clothing, themovement of soil, and many other mechanisms. Timely inspection and detection are critical tothe control of these PNs.PN diagnostics are difficult via visual inspection by host plant symptoms, andmolecular/laboratory diagnostics are typically time-consuming and costly. Visual inspection ofplant roots may destroy healthy plants and plant tissue. The need to develop new innovativeways and equipment to detect cyst nematodes is crucial.

Implementation: The foundation for this new design course was based on previousimplementations of electrospinning in senior design projects [13, 14], educational modules [15,16, 17], and research courses [18, 19, 20]. However, the novelty of this course was its goal ofcontrolling ambient conditions to improve manufacturing electrospun fibers. Specifically, studentsin teams of 4-5 were tasked to design an electrospinning system that could monitor temperature orhumidity and regulate the appropriate ambient parameter to stay within an ideal range.The course was designed to be a required 2-credit hour course that would be held once a weekduring a standard 3-hour laboratory period with ~20 students (5 teams). The course was led by oneprimary instructor and
