students who completed the assessmentsindividually. Additionally, we would like to focus on the impact of peer learning on the take-home test. What are the experiences of students who worked collaboratively on the take-hometest? How likely are students to seek help on this assessment? And where are they getting thissupport? By examining these questions and offering opportunities for students to share theirreasoning for opting in or out of the take-home tests, we will have a broader understanding oftheir decision-making and explore connections between critical thinking and collaboration.Bibliography 1.

From analyzing section cuts anddetails to correlating various 2D views of 3D structures and components, to the ability to connectcross-sectional properties to member behavior, these s​kills help students build an understandingof design methods and engineering intuition.In the past several years of the instructor’s experience student weakness in sketching andvisualization in structural steel design has been obvious. In a recent offering of the course, anassignment was implemented after particularly poor

lendtowards basic electronic design. An analog circuit is designed to produce a given voltage orcurrent output. Digital circuits are circuits that utilize logic, relying on 0’s and 1’s (off’s andon’s) rather than specific analog levels. A microcontroller is the brain of an embedded systemand can be programmed with code to perform a particular function. The combination of analog,digital, and microcontroller devices create an embedded system. For engineering students,learning both these subjects are beneficial due to the integrative nature of circuits in manyengineering applications.A typical introductory digital circuit device is the Arduino Uno. An Arduino utilizes amicrocontroller to implement digital circuit applications. To immediately begin

themselves. In response toseeing students in my classes struggle with feeling unprotected and less-than, I formed theEE/CPE Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Project. “The Project”’s goals were to give students avoice, educate both students and faculty, be visible and to provide services. An example ofgiving students a voice is the letter they wrote to the EE and CPE chairs asking them to sign apublic letter condemning a local racist event. An example of educating faculty and students areour guest speakers on, for example, Title IX changes and our conversations between students andfaculty on things that the other don’t realize. An example of being visible is a bulletin boardwe’ve been given near the EE and CPE offices, student Winter holiday
