rural communities support and promote engineering as a career choice for theirstudents. Therefore, this study explored the ways in which rural communities provide support tohelp students make fully informed decisions about engineering as a college major.The findings presented here come from Phase 2 of a three-phase study exploring engineeringcareer choice among rural students. Using interview and focus group data collected from currentengineering students in Phase 1, Phase 2 turned to community members, including high schoolpersonnel, local industry leaders, members of local governments, and members of keycommunity organizations (e.g., 4-H). Using interviews with 16 participants across 3communities, we address the following question: What

The five main goals in this collaborative infrastructure wereestablishing (1) a management structure, (2) one primary high school partner, (3) two academictransfer agreements, (4) an Industrial Advisory Board of three members, and (5) seven additionalhigh school partners to scale future implementation.Three of these goals were fully accomplished within the planned timeline, and the two otherswere partially accomplished. This paper discusses detailed achievements in each area along withthe project’s external evaluation results and the project leadership team’s lessons learned.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has projected a 12 percent growth in the number ofjob offerings from 2018 to 2028[1]. This is much faster than the average for all otheroccupations. And while this number is staggering and leaves us to wonder how to fill the gap ofgeneral technology workers, the growth expected in the more specialized information securitysubsector is projected at a whopping 32 percent growth during the same period[2]. Clearly, thereis a need for colleges and universities nationwide to begin programs or fortify existing programsto produce graduates with cyber security skills.However, building a

We have seen many pedagogical advances, such as team-based learning, problem-based learning, experiential learning, and creative learning using virtual reality, to name a few.The core driver for this change stems from the need for engineering education to prepareengineers to stay relevant and to contribute to society in the face of rapid global change andadvancement in information and technology.These trends have been the main motivator for integrating liberal studies and engineering.Bucciarelli and Drew laid out a “design plan” for liberal studies in engineering

However, higher engineering education in Chinastill faces some problems, among which the most prominent problem is the separationbetween curricula setting and students' practical application [2-3]. On the one hand, thecurriculum setting still follows the typical deductive teaching approach to make sure that thestudents can understand and memorize each abstract concept.

Switching Regulator OperationIntroductionAt the University of Virginia, we have experienced increased student interest in alternate andrenewable energy topics in Electrical and Computer Engineering over the past five years. Thishas presented a challenge, as we currently only offer a single "Electromagnetic EnergyConversion" course, which is in a lecture format with a required associated laboratory section.To address this challenge, we have been systematically phasing out older topics, i.e., D.C.motors, and adding course content relevant to photovoltaics and wind energy production, i.e.,microgrids [1]. This has necessitated a redesign of some of our laboratory experiences andrequired us to reconsider the most efficient way to transmit a breadth of

Capacitors are used acrosseach resistor to filter out this noise, as shown in figure 1. This voltage represents the control positionand is fed into four ADC channels of Arduino to get corresponding digital values. The Arduino UNOADC has a resolution of 10 bit, means it maps input voltages between 0 and 5V into digital valuesbetween 0 and 1023; in other words, 4.9mV per unit.

Learning theorists propound a structure for education where a scaffoldedframework is coupled with just-in-time information [1]. Both breadth and depth are consistentlyreferenced throughout curricula as an effective means to educate an engineer [2]. Across coursesand through repeated work, both requirements can be met. When to do so appears to depend uponthe level of the material.
