In the app, the current semester was setas a span of time from the day a student cannot add any more classes until the end of thesemester. All future courses in the degree plan will be placed in DataTable 2, DataTable 3, andso on. If a user uses the app in October 2021, Fall 2021 will be considered as the currentsemester, and the courses taken currently will be placed in DataTable 1. Figure 3: Course selection processThe app will look for appropriate courses for Spring 2022, Fall 2022, and so on that meet theconditions.

characteristics of students that persist in the Loyola University Chicago Engineering program from the Class of 2022 and 2023? • To what extent and in what ways does a curricular emphasis on active learning promote student engagement and persistence among engineering students, particularly women?Based on the research literature, we hypothesized that students enrolled in the Loyola UniversityChicago engineering program would have a higher level of persistence than students in otherEngineering programs. Also, we hypothesized that engagement would be more critical forwomen than men for persisting in the Engineering program. 5DesignParticipants

entering college wanting a science degree, arrive in twogeneral groups. Group one is students proficient in math, and place directly into calculus and thesecond group are those that are not. These students enter a series of intermediate to collegealgebra and trigonometry courses to eventually place into calculus. In addition, all sciencemajors require statistics so this course will also be given RL problems that relate to statisticalprocedures. Table 1 shows the list of courses that have been identified as candidates forimplementation. These courses have been selected due to the connection between math conceptsand surveying RL problems. In our first implementation, we plan to use RL problems in Math 22and 26 (Spring of 2022). These are the courses

This factprecluded any significant work on the grant. Furthermore, all access to campus was closed untilthe Spring 2021 semester at which time only limited access became available. The project team ispresently making preparations to deliver on-line workshops to both middle- and high-schoolSTEM teachers and to college faculty during the summer of 2021 and will take a one-year no-costextension to finish the grant work by the Fall of 2022.This poster session will present: a more detailed description of the IoT certificate curriculum; allowsession attendees a preview of on-line course content

Inaddition to the networking event, through the project we have also developed a website withcurated resources for researchers entering the field of EER.The networking event was designed as an independent virtual event in order to maximize ourteam’s control of a virtual platform (e.g. designing/assigning breakout rooms in advance), andcontrol for unknowns surrounding the status of the

With the full implementations, the research team will be able toanalyze each element's impact, redesign and enact again.During the Fall 2020 semester, the project team reached out to industry mentors, and manyindustry mentors graciously agreed to volunteer for the project. Even though other mentors werewilling to volunteer for the project, the project team chose two industry mentors to work onindustry-relevant problem designs due to time constraints.

Nineteen were part of cohort 2021 and 13 were part of cohort 2022. Thirty-fourstudents completed the post-assessment, 23 from cohort 2021 and 11 from cohort 2022.Students do not declare their specialization of biomedical, computer, or environmentalengineering and begin to take specialization courses until semester 6.MethodsThis study was part of an ongoing, longitudinal study tracking student persistence and factorsthat facilitated persistence. The methods for this study were similar to those reported for Part IIof the cardiograph project [19

The electrocoagulation sub-system wasused as a laboratory exercise prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Figure 5 shows the first cohort ofstudents running the experiment. It is expected the two subsystems will be run by two differentlaboratory groups simultaneously in spring 2022. Based on the experiences of the first cohort ofstudents a list of pedagogical goals will be prepared prior to spring 2022. The student learningoutcomes will be assessed at the end of spring 2022 and compared with the pedagogical goals wedeveloped prior to conducting the experiments.Figure 5 First cohort of

This paper discusses the observationsfrom this pilot implementation, the impact of strength-based projects on students’ engagement,and the improvement in the students’ learning experience. A retrospective survey was used tocollect student feedback on whether this activity reinforced their sense of inclusion and improvedtheir skills related to the implementation of their knowledge in real-life problems.Modifications have been made on the structure of strength-based projects in the academic year of2021-2022 to enhance students’ experience and improve the quality of the projects. The changesand expected outcomes will be discussed in this paper.Hypotheses and nature of dataThis work is aimed to evaluate if using real

classroom, we are using a“teach the teacher” model. We provide a two-week summer professional development for middleschool teachers in the state. During the program, the teachers are taught introductory weather science,the IDV visualization software basics, and how to obtain free weather data from the National Oceanicand Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Restrictions due to the COVID19 pandemic requiredmodifications to our planned initial year activities, but we were able to pilot and obtain feedback toimprove the program. Our plans for the 2021-2022 school year include offering our full summerprofessional development workshop, observing teachers in their classrooms while they implementmeteorology lessons with computational thinking, and

In 2020, theNew York University, Tandon School of engineering, was readying for its ABET accreditationvisit and its subsequent MSCHE visit in 2022-23. The preparation of the self-study report forABET raised the aforementioned problem of integrating inputs and processes in a meaningfulway that facilitates continuous improvement.

Unlike vocational and technicalacademic institutions, liberal arts institutions provide diverse and comprehensive training ideal forbroad and interdisciplinary programs. As of April 2021, there were 112 ABET accredited BSprograms in Bioengineering/Biomedical Engineering worldwide [1]. The number of liberal artsinstitutions starting and/or exploring science, technology, engineering, and technology (STEM)programs is increasing every year. In 2016 and driven by the positive job outlook for biomedicalengineers between the years 2012 and 2022 (about an increase by 27%) [2], our liberal
