. Additionally, Iron Range Engineering had allmajors undertake entrepreneurial projects, resulting in the development of a business plan[12].Beyond the confines of specific majors, Loh et al. [13] discuss a second-major option forundergraduates at the National University of Singapore (NUS). This initiative allows studentsfrom any major to participate in multidisciplinary project work aimed at cultivating aninnovative and entrepreneurial mindset. At the master's level, the University of Duisburg-Essen offers a Master of Arts in Innopreneurship, designed to equip students with the skillsneeded for self-employment or innovative roles within established companies [14].Whereas the focus of our writing up to now has been on the form of innovation

A positive correlation was revealed between student-led discussions andenhanced academic performance, suggesting the potential efficacy of collaborative learning inuniversity settings. Moreover, student feedback validated the value of student-led approaches,emphasizing their role not only in academic growth but also in fostering profound interpersonalconnections and collaborative friendships among peers [12]. Similarly, the implementation ofstudent-led seminars for first-year undergraduate medical students further validated theeffectiveness of such seminars in fostering self-directed, active, and peer-driven learningexperiences, concurrently nurturing attributes like teamwork and

analysis. Most students expressed a positive outlook towards learning new concepts ingeneral. However, they also noted a decrease in engagement, interest, and positive feelings whendealing with material taught in an unclear manner, unbalanced demands in a class's structures, anddealing with unengaging closed off teachers or teaching assistants. When responding to a newconcept, participants said they will evaluate what they do and do not understand, see whatquestions or thoughts other students have, review notes, and practice. As students interacted withothers, they also felt positive towards a topic that they understood and had a chance to explain toa peer that was struggling with the same topic. Whether students felt positively or

wasn’t given the opportunity.Carroll mentions a “type of expertise” that is required for communicating with the men on herteam to understand where they “click.” The type of expertise she refers to is the understanding ofthe ways in which peers with shared identities operate socially and in a cohesive manner (wherethey “click”). This is the process of examining the hidden epistemologies that drive the socialinteractions she has with her team. Because of the historically white male majority inengineering and Carroll’s positionality as the only African American female on her team, sheacknowledges silently the potential her gender and race play in her exclusion from socialinteractions with others on her team.Carroll learns of the necessity of

In total, 99 alumni have beenlisted in the project, with 82 considered active as they have not canceled their participation andhave replied to emails in the last two years. As it can be noted, most of the alumni nominated asa “family relative” do not remain active after helping with their first assignment. In addition,most of the alumni nominated by students as “friend” are generally older peers, graduating one tothree years before. These alumni have

In thehealthcare sector, AI’s role is increasingly pivotal, aiding in the early diagnosis of diseases andeven preempting potential health crises. The field of autonomous driving has witnessed AIsuccessfully tackle the intricacies of real-world traffic scenarios, a feat once believed to beexclusive to human cognition. In the creative arts, AI’s footprint extends to composing music,generating art, and writing stories, illustrating its burgeoning creative capabilities.Despite these groundbreaking advancements, a critical aspect where AI still lags is inunderstanding and interpreting human emotions and the subtleties of social

challenge §1: evidence that boundary layers exist Create a physical demonstration to be conducted by the student themselves to see first-hand the existence of boundary layers.When the existence of boundary layers is clear, they can be analysed, which requiresapproximation of the equations of motion. It is convention to write the equations of motion andstate the order of magnitude of each term to highlight which can be neglected. A summary of theanalysis is in Appendix B.The ‘order of magnitude’ analysis lacks meaning to the uninitiated learner. Further, the commonassumption δ /L ≪ 1, where δ is the boundary layer thickness and L is its characteristic length, isnot always true and it is not clear to the student that this assumption is

for KU, which is a small, private, nonprofit, primarilyundergraduate teaching institution with limited ME department funds.1.1.3 Repeated Use of Assignments with Little ModificationPerennially, the simulation laboratory assignments of MECH-431 are reused, sometimesterm-to-term with no changes. Usually, there are numbers that are changed in the assignmentsfrom one school term to the next. However, these changes are largely insignificant. This leads toan academic dishonesty problem with the students. Each term students are caught cheating byre-using laboratory assignments that were submitted by their peers in previous school terms, eventhough they are told explicitly that they are not allowed to do so. Unauthorized use of materialsfrom previous

In this paper, WBEs are defined as paidengagements for students as they work on solving real-world problems, while performing tasksand projects in partnership with an employer or community partner. Three types of WBEs arerepresented: internships (Study 1), apprenticeships (Study 2), and company employees (Study 3).All three studies used the Socio-Technical Integration Research (STIR) methodology which hasbeen established in 80 studies worldwide and over a dozen peer-reviewed publications.

Such assignments asked you toutilize “some different thought processes or different ways to get you a solution.” Like Bob,Victor also noted that several programming courses throughout his graduate education, where hewas asked to demonstrate and practice his creative thinking skills. However, he recalled anothercourse from his undergraduate education in a different country, where the first year of theengineering curriculum is the same for all majors. In this curriculum, there was an electrical andelectronics course during the lab in which

These types oflower-recognition tasks also can include “office housework”—planning social events, gettingcoffee for colleagues, coordinating meetings. Some of these tasks carry more organizationalsignificance than do others, as they can sustain networks, communication, and projectmomentum, but few are rewarded in the way that strategic stretch work can be; Babcock et al.[8] write that these are tasks people generally do not want to do as part of their jobs and wishwould be completed by others.And yet some groups do them, and do them more than other groups do, even among those in thesame profession and role.

Instead, they spoke about the engineering-intensive work they did thatbrought them career satisfaction. The prominence of technical affinity in the responses of racializedwomen was also noteworthy. This finding challenges the implicit, and somewhat essentialistassumptions about women in general, and racialized women in particular, underlying recruitment andretention efforts that magnify the socio-emotional features of engineers’ work in order to diversify theprofession. Racialized women, just like their peers, tended to speak about “nerd
