The intent of the researchers across these moduleswas not to demonstrate direct use of presented materials within day-to-day agriculturaloperations, so much as it was to show the possibilities of advanced technology within the field,demonstrating the evolution of agricultural practices within the modern world to

For simplicity, we refer to both traditional IDEs and advancedcode editors as IDEs in this paper.However, not all IDEs are suitable for introductory-level programming courses, making theselection of an appropriate IDE challenging for instructors. Professional IDEs [11, 12, 39] offerintegrated programming environments and many powerful features, but they often lack supportfor educational purposes. Using them effectively may require advanced knowledge and asignificant time investment. For students new to programming, mastering these IDEs whilelearning a new programming language can be challenging, as they must spend considerable timeon software installation and

instructors: the topic is rich in concepts full of domain-specificvocabulary, and it usually requires the application of more than one fundamental principle orequation to analyze any given problem, confusing learners on how these equations interact [5].Often, applying these principles requires navigating through large reference tables and diagramsbecause more familiar mathematical tools of calculus and vector analysis fail to deal with thesephenomena [1]. Furthermore, Thermodynamics suffers from the same problem that plaguesmany engineering disciplines: students must not only understand the core concepts and processeswithin the discipline, but also master the mathematical tools required to solve numericalproblems.

Helping to make the world a quieter place is a fine and noble thing, but it simply does not compare to educating people. These days Bill focuses on communication in technical fields. His current research involves helping high school students learn the form, function and benefits of effective communication, especially argumentative discourse and interpersonal relations.Stephanie

Thermodynamics (ME 680) duringtheir fourth or fifth years. ME 413 and 680 form a progression in course work into the study ofThermodynamics and, therefore, the courses are carefully integrated. For a detailed descriptionof ME 413 and ME 680 refer to Bailey et al., 2004 [1]. After successfully completing AdvancedThermodynamics, students can choose to continue the study of classical thermodynamics byselecting a capstone design experience which incorporates advanced thermodynamics principlesas discussed in George et al, 2006 [2]. A select group of students also conduct thermodynamicrelated research in their pursuit of a Masters of Science degree and related publications [3,4,5

of student development in the undergraduate years? Connecting Across the Years: Does your college connect the early learning experiences in the first two years (math- and science-focused) to the more engineering-focused experiences in the later years? How do design experiences in upper-division courses build on design experiences in early courses? Learning Engineering: How do you confirm that students have learned and retained the basic skills of engineering? Have your students acquired the language of engineering? Have they mastered the concepts that are difficult to understand? Can they define and solve engineering design problems? Do they have the skills and confidence to meet society’s grand

you think about graduate school? FemProf Participant: Even though I already did research, I didn‟t really understand very well the whole entire master‟s/Ph.D. degree process. At the first school I was a tutor, and really enjoyed that. Since I‟m studying engineering, I just don‟t want to be a teacher in high school, and didn‟t understand how to become a professor. FemProf coordinators have given me seminars and how about grad school works, and I have talked to them individually about their experiences in the doctoral degree, as the doctoral degree sounds like a super-hard thing but it‟s actually not as scary as it seems.Program directors highlight ways women can support one another in their
