industry and knowledge deficiencies of SE graduates. Cico et al.16 investigated SE trends inthe academic setting. The study found that agile software development is a major trend, and thatpossible gaps between software industry and education exist. Another study17 discussed how tobuild sustainable professional competencies of software engineers.Recent studies focused on creating highly engaging and personalized learning experiences18. Thestudy by Ouhbi et al.19 found that engaging students in SE was the greatest challenge inclassrooms. Instructors had difficulties designing practical activities for students. The studyfound that adoption of new teaching methodologies had a significant impact on learningexperience for learners. To improve the

many students lack the necessary data science knowledge.To address this issue, there is a need to design big data systems curricula or courses to equipstudents with the skills and knowledge needed to work with large-scale data sets and solve real-world problems. This Work in Progress (WIP) aims to share the experience of designing a big dataanalytics course for undergraduate students, including design principles, course content, teachingmethods, challenges, and successes. It contributes to the field of big data analytics by designing acourse for undergraduate students and sharing insights into best practices for teaching big dataanalytics, serving as a resource for other instructors and institutions.1.

Eighty percent of students reported the multidisciplinaryjudge panel during the Poster Expo had a positive impact on their learning experience. Eightyeight percent of students reported the project increased their interest in engineering. Ninety fourpercent of students were retained in

to fall 2024), and by a combination of college and industry funding for 2021and 2022. As the NSF grant was expiring, industry sponsorship of the summer program elementand scholarships was sought.Summer Bridge ExperienceThe summer bridge component varied throughout the years. Typically, the one-week programwas held the week directly before the fall move-in day and contained a variety of experientiallearning experiences, including: a hands-on engineering design challenge, field trips, math andchemistry instruction and practice sessions, seminars, and social activities. Faculty, staff, peer,and industry mentors led and participated in the activities.In 2013, the summer bridge experience was extended to four weeks and allowed students to earnsix

toprovide a more customized solution. The model could also be improved by including areas ofpartial shade in calculations. Partial shade has been shown to improve the agricultural yield fromsome crops, so including partially shaded areas could be a major improvement for future iterationsof the AgPV model. Finally, more options for types of solar panels could be included as userinputs. Single-axis tracking systems and vertical bifacial panels are viables alternatives to inclinedsouth-facing panels which any farmer or investor would consider when designing an agrivoltaicsystem.Better implementation of the agricultural portion of the AgPV model should also serve as a goalfor future researchers. The team recognized early on that agricultural production

,engineering students from GVSU would need to have completed their core 300-level coursework; consequently, the only semesters a student could take these courses are the Fall, Winter, orSummer of their last year. Unfortunately, our engineering students are on co-op in the Fall and insenior project in the Winter and Summer terms. One of them would need to be used to avoiddelaying graduation for a student who participated in it. Given the relationship between Proceedings of the 2023 ASEE North Central Section Conference 3 Copyright © 2023, American Society for Engineering Educationassessment of ABET outcomes and the senior design courses, the best option was to focus on theco-op semester.The co

dedicated toproducing the designs of students, faculty, and staff from across the institution at cost. The existingmaker space provides all institution students with access to training and equipment available forcourse, research, and private projects. All equipment, maintenance, and training expenses for themaker space are paid by the college. Additionally, both service center and maker space staffprovide design consultation to students and researchers throughout the institution. The facility iscurrently used to enhance a number of existing courses, clubs, and outreach events within thecollege. This paper presents how the new engineering technology degree program will utilize theexisting facility’s maker space, what classes it will be incorporated
