duein class the following week. Two midterm exams and one final exam were given, and studentscompleted two Matlab projects in groups of three.ParticipantsThe course was taught by the same instructor in both terms considered in this study. Theinstructor was a full-time faculty member at the university with over 10 years of teachingexperience. S/he had taught the DTSS course discussed here several times prior to the two termsin question. Student participants in the study were predominantly male, junior or senior students,majoring in electrical engineering. The majority of students were also domestic and in-state.However, they varied greatly in GPA. The students were also diverse in race/ethnicity with overhalf being either White or Asian. The
definition of mission engineering is the deliberate planning, analyzing,organizing, and integrating of current and emerging operational and system capabilities toachieve desired mission effects.Mission engineering applies the mission context to complicated and complex system(s) ofsystems [2]. Most current systems engineering practices do not fully address the uniquecharacteristics of mission engineering, addressing the end-to-end mission as the ‘system’ andextending further beyond data exchange between the individual systems for cross-cuttingfunctions, controls, and trades across the systems.Mission engineering differs from the established term of mission analysis in that the latter onlyaddresses examination of current operational and system

For example, the same individual with thenegative experience in the second week reported that there was nothing that hindered his/herlearning in the sixth week. BEST Fellows also rated their experience in the Friday workshop positively. Moreover,Fellows were in agreement that working together during these workshops was helpful. Whenasked what aspects of the workshop promoted their learning, Fellows responded: “[s]haring outexperiences and open group discussions”, “[t]he readings and paired

thatacademic preparation is typically not one of the main reasons for attrition 4,5. In other words, moststudents who leave academia choose to leave because of their own personal decision, not becausethey failed qualifying exams or are doing poorly in their courses 5–7. Indeed, Barnes et al.’s 8,9studies of graduate attrition showed that the attributions that professors give for their students thatleave are different than the rationale that the corresponding non-completing students give forleaving. The misalignment, misunderstanding, or attribution bias that may exist (from both parties)is worthy of study and is likely due to the issues that have arisen with sampling a sensitivepopulation.Further, most attrition literature takes a sociological view of

), white board(s),projector(s), and printer(s). The author was the professor of record and independently designedthe course based on Purdue University CLOOs. In course planning and preparation, theinstructor adopted a learning-centered paradigm, while using a Learning Management System(LMS) (i.e., Blackboard) for course organization, file sharing, assignment posting/submission,grading, and testing. The instructor’s goal was to create a learning environment in which studentscould learn to restructure the new information and their prior knowledge into new knowledgeabout the content, and practice using it. Course design included a combination of mini/bridginglectures (as needed), readings, group discussions, exams, assignments, and a team project

and Their Pedagogical AssessmentAbstractImparting real world experiences in the classroom for a software verification and validation(S/W V&V) course is typically a challenge due to lack of effective Active Learning Tools(ALTs). At Robert Morris University (RMU, the author’s institution), this educational resourcegap has been addressed by developing several ALTs in the form of class exercises, case studies,and case study videos that were created by collaborating with the academia and industrialprofessionals. Through this three-year work 20 delivery hours of case studies, 18 delivery hoursof exercises and 6 delivery hours of role play videos totaling 44 delivery hours of Software V&Vcourse materials have been developed.

required undergraduate transportation engineering course(s) address a minimum set of core competencies (“learning domain”). • There should be a common set of knowledge tables that map the learning domains which could be used by instructors across universities as the basis of the required course(s). • There is a need for effective strategies that provide contextual active learning environments for students in these courses. • There is a need to develop collaborative tools for sharing transportation engineering curricular materials across instructors and institutions.In response to these outcomes, around 20 transportation engineering educators created theCurriculum Subcommittee of the Institute of

It is alsocomprehensive because the goal is to improve academic achievement while helping studentsmaintain their identity, connect to their communities, develop a sense of shared responsibility,share their “sensibilities,” and develop critical consciousness. Through a rasquache approach,students will see themselves and their communities in a curriculum that is empowering,transformative, and liberating. The goal would be to replace individualistic perspectives withmore cooperative and active roles from the students and teachers.References[1] J. S. Passel, D. V. Cohn, and M. H.

implementation of bothconventional and regenerative brake systems on both cars and bikes. Before the initial design(Figure 1) of the RE-Brake system was considered, calculations were made based on bikingstatistics and other energy data to determine how much energy could be gained from such a device.These calculations were done using a few pieces of information, primarily the energy lost when a73-kg person is riding a 10-kg bike at 4.4 m/s. The calculation was done using, 1 𝐸 = 𝑚𝑣 2 2where the mass would be the total of mass of the rider and the bike. The energy of this system wasfound to be about 803 joules, if
