quarter, a final grade for each student was determined based on the sum of allweekly task scores, a final score on the most updated proposal manuscript, and professionalism/ethics scores based on quarter-wide performance. The final grade was compared against thecumulative work hours to determine relationship.Time spent versus scores received were expected to exhibit a sigmoidal trend with the currentstudent population. Therefore a curve-fitting method [1] was employed using the equation (𝑦𝑚𝑎𝑥 − 𝑦𝑚𝑖𝑛 ) 𝑦 = 𝑦𝑚𝑖𝑛 + 1 + 10𝑛(log 𝑥50 −log 𝑥)where 𝑦 : score data 𝑦𝑚𝑖𝑛 : minimum value of 𝑦 in data set

more diverse/reliable educational system.The movement to online teaching has taken on many different forms. Some institutions haveadopted a fully online instructional approach, while others provide a blended learning type, usingsupportive systems and implementing tools such as Moodle, Blackboard, Atutor, and CanvasLMS,among others. Effective online class is important for achieving institutional goals of both teachingand learning in higher education. Previous research on e-learning was mainly conducted with anin-depth focus on certain e-learning dimensions such as technology, faculty, support, pedagogy,readiness, management, ethics, evaluation, planning, and institution [3]. This paper investigatesZoom’s breakout room application and its effect

issues. Graduates with an MSET degree will not only build theirunderstanding of leading-edge concepts in their technology arenas but will also become able tostrategically apply these concepts and technology at all levels of the industry.The MSET degree is designed to allow students to achieve their career objectives by offering aflexible, 30 credit hour plan of study in which each student chooses a focus area from thefollowing three areas.  Construction Management  Fire Safety and Explosion Protection  MechatronicsThe university’s approach of merging engineering technology with other areas of study such asproject management, engineering ethics, and financial studies allows the MSET students tocustomize their plan of study to branch

RoundtableMeeting held in Winter of 2021, industry leaders were asked the general question, “What havebeen your top 3 challenges with attracting, hiring, and keeping talent?” Although major concernswere “lack of work ethic/habitually late or absent” (85%) and “can’t find qualified candidates”for their companies (77%), one employer stated that students hired from the Bucks CWDcertification programs remained on the job and were very reliable. Another employer indicatedthat with the strict CWD vetting process and continuous monitoring of student performanceduring the training sessions, it was “like having a 12 week vetting process” before the CWDgraduates entered the workforce. Employers have expressed continued confidence that they arehiring quality

analytical thinking pervades engineering design activities,the integration of the performance of components and sub-systems is vital to the success of allbut the simplest design problems. Consequently, the role of systems thinking is vital in solvingcomplex engineering design challenges while simultaneously considering environmental issues,safety, ethical implications, and economic factors [11]. Systems thinking permits students “tobreak out of the narrow definition of a problem and reflect on the relevant systems and how theyaffect, and in turn are affected by, new and improved technologies” [12]. By integrating systemsthinking experiences into early engineering design challenges, students may become moreexcited about engineering, while learning

Dominion University the senior project is a twosemester course, which is the case in most of the undergraduate programs. The Introduction toSenior Project is a first semester 1 credit course, which covers a series of career related topicsrelated to engineering technology such as engineering codes and standards, engineering ethics,technical report writing, job search and resume writing techniques, patents and property rights,and professional engineering licensure. By the end of this course the students are expected todecide on a project topic, establish partnership with a faculty advisor for the project and submita project proposal. In the second semester, the actual Senior Project is a 3 credits course inwhich students work under advisor
