The authors also believe that this enhancement ofknowledge and skills will be a necessary component for all future bridge camps developed byND EPSCoR. ND EPSCoR is planning to conduct four bridge camps during the summer of 2020and will continue to refine the camp and track participants throughout their academic careers. Insubsequent research, in an effort to determine the overall impact of these camps, ND EPSCoRwill compare the college matriculation rates of the bridge camp participants to the collegematriculation rates of all AI high school graduates in ND.AcknowledgmentsThe development and implementation of the ND EPSCoR NATURE bridge camp was madepossible through funding provided by NSF
hubs that serve as locations for one-time training workshops for geographically close “spoke” participants, specifically the Southeastand Central Hubs. Due to weather, the workshops were consolidated. At the workshop,participants heard presentations on the motivation behind this project, DLM design, instructionalphilosophy, and best implementation practices, and also had a chance to use all four modules inconjunction with suggested classroom worksheets.The effectiveness of the LC-DLMs has been previously tested; however, there was a lack ofrobust measures for assessing student understanding in prior implementations of LC-DLMs. Toaddress this, we used Bloom’s taxonomy to categorize learning outcomes, measure learninggains, and better analyze

These devices have accessto vast amounts of data, especially personal data. However, due to the compact nature of thesedevices, insufficient effort has been made to incorporate security into their design. With that inmind, IoT devices are treasure-troves of potential evidentiary data for forensic investigators,especially when these devices are used to aid in criminal activities. Concerning IoT devices, thereis a need to investigate these devices to find answers to questions such as, what data can berecovered from these devices along with their respective smartphone applications?

Students learn that an engineer’sprofessional responsibilities include protection of the public and the environment. Students needan understanding of the potential risks resulting from their work. Public safety andenvironmental protection must be at the forefront of their engineering work [3].The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.

Within the “blend of excellence”,senior faculty are charged with providing military and academic leadership and mentorship to thejunior faculty. Meanwhile, rotating junior faculty provide fresh perspectives and valuableinsights from recent military experiences.To better understand the “Blend of Excellence” model in practice, we initiated a survey in spring2019 to all West Point faculty (n=720) asking for thoughts and perspectives on junior civilian(i.e., instructors or assistant professors) and junior rotating military faculty development.

Gender differences in entrance exam scores(F(1,118)=2.055, p=0.154) and in exit exam scores (F(1,118)=0.724, p=0.396) were not found tobe statistically significant. It is interesting however that women still lag behind their malecolleagues in measures of spatial ability, a result that is also commonly observed in the literature.In order to examine the impact of spatial skills on success in the course of their studies, thecumulative GPA of the graduating students (n=120) is compared with their exit test scores inFigure 9.

Figure 1 clearly demonstrates the breadth of impact of adopting a cloud- based platform on the program’s curriculum. Though faculty have the option to choose the CAx tools that best suit the learning outcomes of their courses, practicality often dictates that it is easier to work with the system that students are already familiar with from earlier CAD instruction. Adopting 3DExperience would require each of the classes illustrated to re- structure experiences using the new platform. For example, MFGE 333 and 463 utilize Model-Based Definition

Research AimsThe purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the value of the curricular complexity measure –specifically a component called the structural complexity – developed by Heileman et al.

We overview the method, an application of using curricularcomplexity in practice, and a discussion on how the metric can be extended for further analysis.
