Weconducted an end-of-course survey to collect the information on student demographics, pastexperiences with programming, and assessment of the two types of assignments in the course. 26of the students consented to have their data included in the research. The evaluation focused onhow effectively the assignments helped students (1) understand data

Six students (46%)identified as Hispanic or Latino. Five students indicated they have a disability related to aphysical, mental, or emotional condition. On average, students reported workingapproximately fourteen hours per week, including funded research or teaching assistantduties.

If the students possess and potential and skillsto execute the project, a project description form, which states the background of the project,scope, deliverables, target completion date, and major stakeholders will be prepared. Theprogram prioritizes projects that can be completed in four to eight weeks. This leads to a lot offrequent interactions between the student teams, faculty

That is, what are the immediatenext steps for IEC to address the session topic? In addition, a similar list of long-term goals wereto be produced, again with any necessary resources/infrastructure identified.

Duringinterviews, faculty shared that having a sequence of courses that all EE students take provides aneffective mechanism for getting the word out about innovations to change departmental cultureto be more student oriented. As one faculty member stated:PFE is working in a way to help students learn skills that are supposed to help them in theprofessional arena. So, not only is PFE showing that it is a good place to work on thosecompetencies, but it’s also a good place to test some of the other departmental ideas with thestudents.Survey data indicate that faculty awareness of the PFE sequence has changed over time (Figure16). For example, in 2021, 30% of EE faculty indicated they had no awareness of the PFE coursesequence. In 2022, only

Besides the new self-efficacy survey, morespecific questions were added to pre- and post-summer self-reported questionnaires to betterunderstand the teachers’ perception and receptance of the summer experience. Interviews wereconducted individually instead of using a focus group. This allows the interviewee to be morevocal during the interview, allowing more in-depth understanding of their perception for futureimprovement.

Recent offerings ofthe power electronics course had difficulties with using PSpice for simulation such as: difficultyporting and accessing the PSpice 9.1 custom blocks in the Cadence PSpice software available oncampus computers; IT issues resulting in frequent crashes of Cadence that left students withunreliable software access; inability of students to access Cadence remotely. Due to thesechallenges the author decided to work on replacing PSpice by Simscape for simulations in theSpring 2022 offering of Power Electronics.

theauthors.Learning Objectives:By the end of this module, students will be able to: 1. Investigate how culture and the events in history affect design choices. 2. Apply design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) design guidelines to generate designs. 3. Design 3D objects with inspiration from a significant time in history or from a culture of their choice. 4. Discuss cultural relevance of their design choices.In a first-year engineering design class titled: Introduction to Engineering, at Western NewEngland University in the Fall 2022, 25 students were exposed to DEI concepts through a designfor additive manufacturing (DfAM) module. Students were required to incorporate historical andcultural themes in the design of the team’s logo that

these steps, some of the major challenges we encountered were for cameras, XBees,and GPS. For the cameras, the links provided in the instructions manual were obsolete and nolonger active. The difficulty in configuring XBees was primarily due to the global shortage of thesemiconductor devices and thus the availability of a specific model, XBee-PRO 900HP (S3B), andlack of instructions for other models of XBees for possible application to our CPS platform. Thedifficulty in configuring the GPS device was that the GPS device available and acquired in Jan.2022 (Hemisphere GNSS P/N 940-4137-10 Phantom 34 Module) for our CPS platform wasoutputting the GNSS position data, e.g., with a prefix of $GNGNS, while the GPS device used inAutoRally and its
