effect) of putting some point first (or burying data in a table at the back of the report). Such a discussion might naturally open a wider discussion of the ethical aspects of the relationship a researcher has with funders and with those who may use the research (for example, what innovations may be published or what warnings should go into a report).10Learning to collect accurate, precise data is also an important component of many engineeringcurricula. Past researchers have explored many aspects of data collection, analysis and reporting,such as error analysis,11 scientific measurement,12 and laboratory procedures.13From Accuracy and Precision to Ethics: Evolution of the CurriculumThe ethics exercise
writing progress for a myriad of reasons. Good intentions to write can besidetracked by competing obligations and pressing deadlines11. For students enrolled in classes,serving as teaching or laboratory assistants, and perhaps trying to balance family or other offcampus obligations, finding time, structure, and motivation to write can prove challenging. Inresponse, they may succumb to unhealthy habit of ‘binge writing’, mistaking believing that theywill be more creative and productive if they write sporadically in bursts that lead to exhaustion4.A simple way to create effective writing habits and ensure steady progress is to set writing goals.A goal is simply an articulated desired end-state.

Some programs have had strong and active graduate studentorganizations for many years. In other programs, some subdivisions or laboratories sponsoredstudent activities, but there was little or no coordination of those groups at the program level, andmost students were not involved in any formal graduate student community. Still other programshad virtually no graduate student organization. Furthermore, it is important to note that eachgraduate

Many Morgan State University (MSU) graduate students come from economically disadvantaged families and have very limited financial support for their full-time graduate study. Some of them solely count on the scholarships provided by the school or have to take out student loans. Supported by National Science Foundation (NSF) Scholarships for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM), NASA research grants and other Federal research grants, many MSU engineering graduate students have been involved in applied research projects with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Army Research Laboratory, and the local industry. These projects include but

These questions were divided into three categories: office space (Block B),lab space (Block C), and computers (Block D). The third set of questions (Blocks E and F) wasdesigned for student self-assessment of preparedness to perform EnvE research successfully.These questions examined how prepared students felt they were for research when they beganthe program, how well the program has prepared students for research, and how well a laboratory Page 11.130.10course has

Of those some 4,000 charge 50% or more oftheir time to actual S&T projects and are considered to be the corepractitioners of S&T for the Navy. Almost half of those 4,000 holdPh.D.s1 with about half working at the Naval Research Laboratory(NRL) and
independent investigators. With this project, two courseshave been developed for undergraduate research that has impacted about 80 students. Four ofthese students went to work as mentors to 48 high school girls and boys at a MechanicalEngineering Summer Camp. During the 6-day camp, students were introduced to ME as a careerand were also exposed to laboratory activities in diverse areas. Finally, the goals of the thirdproject are to develop a Spanish version of the statics concept inventory (CATS) and todetermine if bilingual students exhibit the same misconceptions as those identified in CATS.This study has broadened the participation of underrepresented groups in two ways: 100% of theparticipants are Hispanic students, something that hasn’t occurred

State the objective of yourresearch (what you are trying to accomplish); outline the methods you use (e.g.,theoretical derivation, laboratory experiment, data gathering survey, etc.); introduce theoutcome to be achieved (e.g., a new or improved manufacturing process, a new orimproved engineering procedure, etc.). The latter part should clearly indicate the metricsthat determine when the objectives have been achieved and the stated problem solved.This discussion should also provide a clear appreciation of what the work does notencompass.

He further statedthat when evaluating a possible investment, a key criterion in assessing investment risk is theability of the regional infrastructure and population base to be able to locally produce at least 30percent of the doctoral level engineering and science talent that will be required by the startupfirm. Thus, access to advanced academic research and development laboratories and advancedacademic programs in engineering is critical to success.Because of the need to further develop the high-tech economy, and with support from localindustry and the state government, three doctoral programs were developed over the last tenyears.

negatively affected bythe COVID-19 pandemic.Introduction As of late March 2020, in response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)pandemic, hundreds of colleges and universities in the United States (and across the globe)suspended face-to-face classes, closed campuses, and only allowed essential activities and corefacilities to continue. The pandemic disrupted engineering graduate students’ regular learningroutines, which typically include in-person laboratory research and mentoring activities. As aresult, engineering students during the COVID-19 pandemic may particularly experiencechallenges to their academic progress, career preparation, financial security, and physical/mentalhealth [1]–[6]. During school closures, faculty were
