practices at the P-12 level can assist higher education programs with focusing theirsafety instruction on the areas of greatest need for incoming engineering students. This can alsohelp inform collaborate efforts among post-secondary engineering education programs, P-12engineering education programs, and industry partners to address gaps in safety relative toengineering instruction. Introduction Safety has been a critical component of P-12 engineering education programs for decadesas evidenced by its longstanding inclusion in curriculum plans and academic standards datingback to early manual arts and industrial arts programs (which later transitioned to technologyeducation, and most recently

bidding on the project exceeded theexpected project cost significantly. The drawings that are posted online are for the originalproposed project. Geotechnical reports and specifications associated with bid documents are alsoposted online. The objective is to work as a team to design critical components, planning andestimating including cost estimate, and to address transportation needs of the university due tothis new addition. You have the flexibility to incorporate innovative ideas that will add value tothe building. While bringing down the cost of the project is encouraged, it will be one of themany factors that should be considered to make this project functional and efficient.Group FormationEach group normally consisted of two people. The

and Sustainable AviationAbstractThe aim of this study was to process large data sets obtained from NASA and to estimate theemissions for traditional jet fuel through calculating the path lengths of aircrafts. Computationalanalyses were performed, in collaboration with NASA and Universities Space ResearchAssociation, as part of a summer research program for undergraduate students. A program usingPython was developed to process the NASA Sherlock data to obtain aircraft details and flightpaths. Altitude independent emissions were then estimated for traditional jet fuel. The paper alsodescribes future research plans for altitude dependent emissions, implementation of an approachfor sustainable aviation fuels, and high performance computing

. One prevalentobstacle is their social capital deficit. According to Lin, social capital is defined as “theinvestment in social relations with expected returns in the marketplace” (p.19, 2001). This socialcapital deficit can appear for undergraduate engineering students in the following ways: (a) lackof access to social supports for career planning, (b) lack of awareness or comfortability withseeking support from university resources including faculty and career centers, and (c) lack offamilial emotional support for their career path (Martin, Millers & Simmons, 2014). This socialcapital deficit can result in degree completion failure, underemployment, and lower lifetimeearnings. Providing the students with explicit instruction on

essential component of a comprehensive learning experiencein engineering and engineering technology programs. This paper describes a set of softwaresimulation exercises that were developed to complement the materials covered in a powersystems analysis course. The exercises ranged from writing simple MATLAB programs thatperform computations and graph results to more complex and practical applications. Feedbackfrom students indicate that the exercises were successful in achieving the course objectives butthere is room for improvement. Future plans include expanding the simulation exercises toinclude induction motors and the smart grid. The final project was well-received by students andis expected to continue to exist in a similar
