Engineering and Computer Science, theOffice of Undergraduate Studies at Sacramento State, and by NSF grant (DUE # 2235774).IntroductionEngineering curricula characteristically have long and highly regimented chains of pre-requisitecourses called ‘critical paths’, that span the entire curriculum from students’ freshmen year tosenior-year capstone projects. Critical-path courses can create significant obstacles to graduationas a single DFW (grade of D, F, or withdrawal) grade in any course can impede a student'sability to graduate on time. Reducing course fail rates along the critical path significantly reducesthe students’ time to degree. Furthermore, research shows that students exposed to engineeringdesign [1] and research experiences [2] have a

software and hardware tools, and theneed to ensure students apply sufficient engineering rigor in their analysis and design of projectsolutions.IntroductionProject-based learning (PBL) is an active pedagogy in which student learning is achievedthrough the completion of hands-on project work, and it has become an integral aspect ofengineering curricula worldwide. This trend is largely a response to a perception that engineeringstudents graduate with insufficient design experience, underdeveloped professional competenciessuch as communication skills and teamwork, and a poor understanding of the many societalcontexts in which engineers must operate [1]. PBL is viewed as a powerful tool for addressingthese needs, as project work is self-directed in

unclear on what they know and don’t know.Teach for Mastery (TfM) is a concept pioneered in the 1920s 1 with slow but steady research overthe decades, including work by Bloom 2 , and recently made popular by Sal Khan of KhanAcademy in a 2015 TED Talk 3 . The basic idea is let each student progress through the material attheir own individual pace 4,5 . Students can take and re-take both learning modules andassessments as many times as it takes for them to understand the material. This promotes agrowth mindset and encourages students to take time as needed because its never too late (untilthe course ends). TfM is gaining a foothold in higher education and research into it has largelyfound that it has positive effects on student learning 6,7,8 .A

Thesesites tend to require many prerequisites, some fair and others unfair for a person that is trying toget their foot into the door. If one does not meet all the requirements and is denied during theapplication process, what is next?The benefit of networking with those immediately within reach will be explored in this paper.This network could be friends, family, coworkers, and teachers [1].

This research addssignificantly to the literature as there is very little research on the impact of course descriptionson students’ course selection process.1. IntroductionEfforts to broaden the participation of women and people of color within engineering andcomputing education have made incremental improvements in the U.S. but, overall, continue tohave challenges. The under-representation of women and ethno-racial minorities in STEM fieldsis nothing new [1]. Based on a 2021 report, the share of women in computer occupationsdeclined from 30% in 2000 to 25% in 2016 and has remained stable until 2019 [2]. Womencontinue to be vastly underrepresented in the ranks of engineers and architects (15% in 2019

With the state error equal to zero, the state translation model canbe considered zero also, as the translation model is made by the predicted state estimate time.With the predicted state estimation and the state translation model equal to 0, they can beremoved from the algorithm internally. This should save computational power as it will reducethe amount of multiplication required in the algorithm.The overall block design of the sensor fusion algorithm can be seen in Figure 1. The basis of thesensor fusion algorithm is the Extended Kalman filter. The other parts of the algorithm allow forthe filter to run and account for different

Hence, it promotes the practical implementation of fundamental theories in STEMfields by using inexpensive and less cumbersome technological tools to communicate effectivelycore and basic concepts in different STEM fields. The portability of these units enables thesestudents to conduct these experiments at the comfort of their homes, while their low cost makes ithighly affordable.

Our project focuses on three facets of building communities: cultural responsiveness,drawing on family support and connectedness, and building student cohorts [2, 3, 4]. Culturalresponsiveness, which includes building community and a sense of belonging, has shown tobenefit students in many areas, such as satisfaction and academic success. Culturalresponsiveness benefits students and families from all backgrounds, including all socioeconomicbackgrounds, geographic communities, ability groups, genders, religions, etc., by 1) promotinginstructional practices that accommodate and affirm student differences; 2) prioritizing students’academic development; 3) building educational environments that

Every logicsignal can be probed, gate delay can be tested, and power consumption measured.Given that our course emphasizes building complex logic from scratch, discrete logic chipsprovide excellent emphasis on fundamentals. However, it has been decades since digital logicsystems were actually built like this. While design with discrete logic chips may still bepedagogically useful, it no longer represents professional practice.A second approach is to use graphical simulators, such as CedarLogic [1] and LogiSim Evolution[2].

Engineering Education, 2024 A Semiconductor Knowledge and Literacy Test for High School and Community College TeachersIntroductionIn recent years, the shortage of semiconductors has grown to be a worldwide issue. The first signof shortage appeared during the COVID-19 pandemic when the extended lockdown disruptedchip production. Meanwhile, the demand for computer chips increased as more people shifted toremote working. The chip shortage also revealed our country’s dependency on foreignmanufacturing, which soon became a geopolitical issue that involved supply chain resiliency andnational security concerns [1]. As a result, the US government introduced the 2022 Chips andScience Act to boost domestic semiconductor production

The importance of assessment tolearning is underscored by the recognition that it serves as a guiding force for both educators andstudents. The clear definition of learning objectives, as discussed in the literature [1-2], aidsinstructors in selecting appropriate course content, planning lectures, designing assignments, andwriting tests. The relevance of assessment to engineering education is further highlighted by therole of accreditation, particularly through the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET).

)IntroductionFor the past several years, a community of ECE programs from Minority Serving Institutions(MSIs) has seen the need for a set of guidelines to improve the chances of success when theycollaborate with strong Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs), especially those with VeryHigh Research Activity (Carnegie R1). Based on a wide variety of experiences, including anexceptionally productive workshop series on Anti-Racism Practices in Engineering, a rubric wasdeveloped that offers a simple approach to applying such a set of guidelines. The rubric is foundin the appendix, and its development and some additional discussion can be found in earlierpapers [1].

Bconsider students’ diverse skill levels and knowledge of the subject or should consider students' backgrounds and experiences. Groups with a mix of expertise can foster peer teaching and learning. Mixing students from different backgrounds can lead to richer discussions [1]. Furthermore, research has also shown that isolating minority students within groups increases the risk of these students dropping out [2]. So, educators should adapt their group formation strategies to the specific learning objectives of the course and the needs of their students. This highlights the strong need for a helpful tool to help form student groups. Traditional methods of group formation, where professors manually
