Students on the team are trained to use AMESIM for systemsengineering applications which is a unique experience for undergraduates and will serve themthroughout their engineering careers. Figure 5: AMESIM Four Motor Configuration Model Schematic3. NetworkingIn such a competitive industry, the most important step to beginning a full-time career inengineering is knowing where to look for job opportunities. BANSHEE UAV introducesstudents to a variety of major and minor companies across aerospace, mechanical,manufacturing, and electrical engineering fields through workshops, research, and sponsorships.The club also

about evolving technologiesand industry trends throughout their careers. This further prepares them to successfully navigatethe workforce with an openness to new ideas and a capability to address complex problems in theindustry. These skills are essential for roles that require analysis, decision-making, andmaneuvering through complex situations. Additionally, the project enforces the students todevelop extensive management skills through hands-on experience in planning, organizing, andexecuting projects, providing valuable expertise in various professional settings.Since the project integrates several areas in electrical engineering, it therefore provides a broadunderstanding of the interplay between these fields, enabling the practical

When they experience a cultural climate that deviates from thisexpectation, it can lead to negative social/emotional experiences which may lead some toquestion their decision to pursue engineering as a career path. The students leading the workshowed a deep commitment to sharing the student voice however, they also experienced anemotional impact due to the uncertain and challenging nature of the work. Overall, they reportedthis as a rewarding yet challenging experience through which they learned about thecomplexities involved in navigating change and advocating for an inclusive culture.

They appreciated the hands-on experience and enjoyed giving tours. They learned to appreciatethe importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and they built lasting friendships. They grew, bothpersonally and professionally. Many talked about enduring long hours and long commutes together withtheir teammates, but they also gained leadership experience, technical and soft skills, and felt they hadimproved their career paths. Some students have already incorporated the project on their resumes to discusswith employers. In general

When asked what resources facultycould provide in future course offerings to best support student learning, most respondents (93%)indicated a PDF manual for performing certain skills/tasks in Python. This was a more popularresponse than YouTube videos, a game website to practice coding, or a coding discussion forum.Beyond collecting data on student’s prior programming experience and self-assessment of theirconfidence on Python skills/topics in ARCE 352-354, the survey contained several questions togauge their perception of what value coding would have in their prospective career as structuralengineers.

Various industries including electric utility companies also have a need formore complex control solutions which the PLCs could facilitate with their processing power,greater memory size and functionality4. However, despite the increasing use of PLCs in electricalsystems and PLCs being a large part of many career paths in electrical engineering, the electricalengineering program at Cal Poly State University did not have any course that focuses on thetopic. To address this issue, a new course focusing on PLCs has recently been developed. Thedevelopment of a new PLC laboratory for the course was made possible by the recent

Elementary students love play rotations, show and tell, Simon says, and career days. Those are the same skills employed with sophistication and training in Scientific research. Play rotations become lab experiments, show and tell becomes conferences, Simon Says becomes the lab method, Career Days becomes internships and residencies. These core skills should be developed, then, in a coherent and functional STEM environment where the student learns to do science, not just

Authors should investigate the reason behind this result further.Response to question 4 “ChatGPT should be used for every assignment, occasional assignments,only difficult assignments or problems, no assignment” is shown in Fig 4. As can be seen, thereis a consensus among students about minimum use of ChatGPT for assignments. All theinstructors in our research group allocated the first session of class to emphasize the importanceof learning material in depth and the consequences of relying entirely on AI platforms in relationto future career. Here, a similar trend was observed in the junior-level class with 9.9%, 21.2%,54.5%, and 15.1% responding to these four answers, respectively
