Theinterface PCB was designed to provide power to the custom RPi CM3+ boards. An enclosurewith a fan was designed and fabricated to secure all these boards and provide cooling to thesystem. Using this RPi cluster platform, a micro-Kubernetes cluster has been configured. One ofthe RPi CM3+ boards is configured as a master node, and the other CM3+ boards are configuredas worker nodes. An Android application has been under development to access the data for theIoT cluster data server. The prototype cluster device was created by a capstone team at TexasA&M University.

ofdomination can even be seen in engineering terminology, where we take terms of oppression forgranted. In electrical engineering, vocabulary such as “master and slave” are used to describehow one device controls another [23], [24]. In mechanical engineering, “male and female”components are used to describe fasteners with protrusions or sockets. While the culture ofmasculinity within engineering has been studied [25]–[30], Whiteness has received far lessattention. Our goal in this project is to deeply interrogate the influence and pervasiveness ofWhiteness in engineering culture. We claim that Whiteness is a central part of the exclusionaryculture within engineering, and hence the originator of systemic barriers negatively impactingracial equity.The
. The course taught skills related to engineering practice,such as unit systems, dimensional analysis, and technical communications. While these skills areimportant for engineering students to master, learning them outside of any specific applicationwas not as engaging or as applicable for students. Furthermore, the content and delivery formatof the course did not allow for much “face-time” to cover the topics in enough detail or withopportunities for exploration or application in context. In addition, students conductedassignments individually, with minimal collaboration. Assessments were memorization basedusing multiple choice questions and with not much opportunity for reflection. The final paperthat students had to submit, based on their

A modified version of this model includes an “advanced beginner” beforecompetent and instead ends with “expert” [17]. Intuition is explicitly recognized as an essentialcharacteristic that individuals must depend almost entirely on when matriculating from proficiencyto expertise in both versions of the Dreyfus model. Finally, Chi’s model [10] (adapted fromHoffman [18]) suggests a proficiency scale: 1) naïve, 2) novice, 3) initiate, 4) apprentice, 5)journeyman, 6) expert, and 7) master. Chi explicitly notes that “experts cannot articulate theirknowledge because much of their knowledge is tacit and their overt intuitions can be flawed (p.24).” Only those

electronics. Theory and bestindustry practice must be in balance when mastering these skills. Presently, we devote separatecourses to each skill and somehow think that learning each skill very well will somehowmagically enable the student to critically think and integrate all to solve a real-world problem.This approach is ineffective. As a result, the ABET-required senior capstone multidisciplinarydesign course too often becomes a design-build-test exercise with the emphasis on just gettingsomething done. Students rarely break out of their disciplinary comfort zone and thus fail toexperience true multidisciplinary, model-based system design. Two courses were created toaddress this.

Education”The engineering students from each virtual company are selected from a pool ofstudents participating in the highly successful Integrated Product and ProcessDesign (IPPD) program (Stanfill 2001) (Stanfill 2002) (Fitz-Coy 2002) (Stanfill2003). IPPD is a 2-semester program where undergraduate students from variousdisciplines are taught how to design products and processes. Then, working inmultidisciplinary teams under the guidance of faculty coaches and companyliaison engineers, the students design authentic products for industry sponsors.More details are available at the IPPD web site (http://www.ippd.ufl.edu).Business student participants in the ITV program are drawn from variousundergraduate and masters degree programs offered through the
groups will be discussed along with a learning styles assessment conducted for the students in both classes. Also, two online learning objects were selected to assist students for two different concepts in two courses to assess whether the instructors choice of the learning objects was an important factor in helping students master course competencies.IntroductionIt has been well established in the literature1-3 that engineering students are typically visual ratherthan verbal learners. Nonetheless, engineering instructors still rely heavily on the traditionallectures to teach students. While lectures are often accompanied by sketches on the chalkboardor pictures projected onto a screen, the primary instructional tool is

Students are grouped in teams of twoto three and required to write formal memo-style laboratory reports to hone their technicalwriting and graphical communication skills. There are 11-12 laboratory exercises over thecourse of the semester with grammar, vocabulary, formatting, and presentation weighted at 10%of the laboratory report grade.Prior to May 2004, only bachelors’ degrees in mechanical, electrical and computer, and generalengineering were offered in our school.

challenge came when it was recognized that this program was best envisioned as aterminal master’s program, not a stepping stone to further academic achievement in a Ph.D.program and that the Professional Science Masters (PSM) concept was the perfect model uponwhich to build such a program.Professional Science Masters degrees The PSM is a relatively recent trend in academics, but has achieved widespread acceptance.The PSM was developed in response to studies demonstrating the need for science and mathoriented “professional” master’s degree-level education. The word “professional” indicates thatgraduates would be best prepared for a career in the industrial and government employmentsectors as opposed to academics. Traditionally, the Ph.D. has been
