ResourceResiliency NSF Research Traineeship (The NRT) curriculum builds interdiciplinary and systemsthinking abilities to help students address complex FEW systems problems. The report by theNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on Graduate STEM Education forthe 21st century noted that current and future global challenges, such as creating more resilientcommunities, present scientific, technological, and societal challenges that require systemsthinking abilities to solve these challenges [10]. In addition, employers from different sectorsattested to the value of systems thinking abilities in the workforce and for future globalcompetitiveness [10].Since 2013, the United States National Science Foundation through its Research

One area that particularly felt the impact wasscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, where hands-on learningexperiences were limited. An NSF (National Science Foundation) report indicated around 55million students (about twice the population of Texas) in the U.S. were affected by the shift tovirtual or alternative learning [3]. However, the pandemic

instrumentation are power generation, refineries, petrochemicals, chemical manufacturing, bio-technology, food processing, water and wastewater treatment, etc. [2] For example, in a nuclear power plant, the temperature and flow of cooling water is precisely controlled to keep the process in a safe and efficient operating region. In the chemical industry, process control ensures that chemical agents are combined in a specific order, an exact ratio, a prescribed temperature, and at a specific pressure to produce a product that conforms to desired specifications [3]. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Midwest Section Conference1.2 Theory vs practice While trying to

programmingparadigms after students have studied OOP.Functional Programming had the attention of computer science programming classes back in the1980s and 1990s. Crawford [2] presented their successful experience at Texas A&M in teachingFP in the freshman computer science courses, and Hughes [3] expanded the importance of FPbeyond the classroom and to the real world. However, with the rise of new programminglanguages and the shift in the industry’s needs, Java and Python started to take the lead in the late1990s and early 2000s [4], [5]. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Midwest Section ConferenceRecent years mark the next rise of Functional Programming.
