– there are two types of decisions to be made here. First, students should consider whether they want to work for a company focused on defense or commercial customers. It is likely that most students never address this issue; they just want an interesting job that pays well. There is a second, less obvious, issue buried in this decision that all students should address: high reliability/mission critical vs commercial (consumer). High reliability engineering encompasses, in addition to military applications, aerospace, automotive, medical and others where life safety is paramount. For many engineers, this is rarely an either/or choice but mostly a both/and

This increases confidence thatthe primary variable influencing the improved final exam performance in Group 1 vs Group 2was the assignment and resulting increased student engagement with the activities in the zyBook.It would be ideal for a future study to measure the impact across designed groups such as:paper-based homework without access to the zyBook activities; paper-based homework withaccess to the zyBook activities; computer-graded homework consisting of only

IntroductionCircuits is one of the fundamental gateway courses not only required for Electrical Engineeringstudents, but also other engineering majors, such as Aerospace Engineering, ChemicalEngineering, Civil Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering, many of whom include a circuitscourse as part of their undergraduate curriculum [1]. Moreover, there have been a number ofinterventions in circuits aimed at improving students’ understanding and helping undergraduatestudents
engineering undergraduate students. These interviews,conducted in the Fall of 2023, had two primary objectives: • To identify the specific programming knowledge and skills that engineering faculty deemed essential for their students to succeed in both their courses and future professional practice, and • To gather input from CS faculty on the key components and best practices for designing and delivering a robust CS1 introductory programming course.We interviewed 10 faculty members from four engineering programs: Civil Engineering (CE),Aerospace Engineering (AE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), and Bioengineering (BioE).

Despite the challenges, the program continued toemphasize practical, real-world skills. These critical challenges laid the foundation for a strongerprogram moving into the 2021-2022 academic year (designated here as “Year 1”) to build ourcurrent capstone design program.2.1 Year 1: Return to In-Person Instruction (2021-2022)During the 2021-2022 academic year, the program fully returned to in-person instruction.

Other alumni majors included materials, petroleum,industrial, and aerospace engineering.

Nextyear, I’m not going to make that mistake, but it was awesome. But my shift came whenthey actually started showing interest in me and wanting to interview and stuff like that, sothat’s great.Another highlight of the conference was when one guy explained to me what he did everyday. I giggled audibly in front of him. It was very awkward, but I was just so excited at theprospect of doing what he did working with aerospace. I was introduced to so many morethings that I didn’t know that I could do which was an incredible opportunity, and I wouldtell every single women engineer
