"Desirable Characteristics of DataRepositories for Federally Funded Research" [1], outlining a set of recommended features andqualities that are considered desirable for data repositories handling research data resulting fromfederally funded research. The document establishes a set of standards and guidelines to ensurethat data resulting from federally funded projects is preserved in repositories that effectivelymanage and disseminate it.On August 25, 2022, Dr. Alondra Nelson, then Acting Director of OSTP, issued a Memorandum[2] recommending that all federal agencies formulate new plans or update existing ones,outlining their approach to ensuring public access to peer-reviewed publications and the researchdata associated with federally funded
developingfoundational knowledge of engineering professions [7], which makes them an ideal time to helpstudents develop and test their hands-on skills and intuition in engineering design. By creatingmore opportunities for students to develop their engineering design technical skills throughhands-on learning experiences while working with their peers and developing importantprofessional skills, engineering educators can continue to help students develop and gainvaluable engineering design experience. This paper demonstrates a project designed to help ECEstudents gain such experience by working on a wireless sensor node project in their second yearof their program.3.

In an effort to develop a flexible curriculum tomeet a variety of student interests, multiple stress-related contexts (i.e., test anxiety, sports,gaming) were provided for students to choose.Researcher-Teacher PartnershipTwo teachers implemented the curriculum unit three days apart. They both participated in aweeklong curriculum-writing workshop during the summer, two months prior to implementingthe unit. During this workshop, the teachers role-played as students while the researchers (actingas the teachers) demonstrated a science-content focused

Themes must be sufficiently rich and informative to fullycapture the concepts they represent. Writing an abstract or definition for each theme can assist intheir elimination or retention [12].

Through theseprofessional development opportunities, each stakeholder can gain expertise in internationalrelations, educational development, and educational technologies [11]. Students who participatein virtual programs are active learners who perform meaningful activities and reflect on them [11].Through the COIL virtual framework, students can collaborate with peers from various culturalbackgrounds, connecting them to intercultural competencies and global awareness.One of the primary valuable pedagogies in COIL programming is the incorporation of contactsessions with students abroad [12].

Observations from the lessons revealed that role-play induced an experiential learning opportunity requiring the mapping of an abstract data flowdiagram to real life scenarios. An implication of the study is that instructors integrating role-playstrategies should commence with shorter variants, and gradually move on to longer and moreadvanced activities. In another study that leveraged role-play in exploring students’ software andgame development processes, Decker and Simkins (2016) integrated aspects of role-play in asoftware engineering course project, where students were the proprietors of a game developmentstudio.

For example, postdoctoral women of color report encountering discrimination morefrequently than their White peers (Burke et al., 2019; Jach & Gloeckner, 2020). Proudfoot andHoffer (2016) argued that a comprehensive strategy is needed to properly support, inspire, andequip postdoctoral scholars for success. Moreover, to increase the number of postdoctoralscholars of color who continue into the professoriate or other permanent positions in academia,they need policies, programs, and resources that include professional skills in writing and publicspeaking, as well as opportunities to build a community and social

At the heart of the EST model forhuman development is the developing person, along with their attributes, interests, and goals, as well as previous experiences, meaning that students are not blank slates when they enter school and are rather agents of change with an entire life history. However, EST also proposes that developing individuals are embedded in multiple nested environmental systems, ranging
no input,with input from peers, or with input from the teacher. A key aspect of their study was exploringthe positions that students take up as they experience design failures. Students take on multiplepositions including observer, tester, idea–sharer, tinkerer, and director. The context of these andother positions determine the extent to which they are productive. For example, Silvestri et al.observed power struggles and disagreements among some student teams as students within themtook up different roles (e.g., one student shifting from observer to tester to director, ultimatelynot including other team members in the design process after failure). Parry and I also observedhow team conflict can challenge productive responses to design
within thesurroundings, shaped by pre-college attributes (e.g., individual skills and prior collegeexperiences), goals and commitments, and institutional experiences (e.g., academic performance,interaction with peers and faculty, extracurricular involvement). Academic integration refers tothe extent to which students perceive themselves as part of the academic fabric of theengineering environment, while social integration pertains to the students’ integration into thesocial life of the engineering environment. Positive experiences in these domains reinforce thecommitment to educational goals and the institution, enhancing the likelihood to persist, whereasnegative experiences may lead to attrition.The Sophomore Experiences Survey [7], adapted to
