problem-solving.A key innovation is the use of AI-driven modeling tools alongside open educational resources(OER), eliminating financial barriers from costly textbooks and software. Students publish theirsimulations on the Mathematica Demonstrations platform, gaining professional feedback andexperience with scholarly publication. The course structure promotes engagement, teamwork,and equity, ensuring all students—particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds—actively participate and build confidence in both experimental and computational research.Preliminary results suggest improvements in student performance, engagement, andpreparedness for careers involving AI and data-driven engineering. In particular the cohortshowed a statistically

. The goalsof the activity are threefold: (1) give students an opportunity to meet each other and the lab TAsin a low-stakes setting, (2) familiarize students with the online system they will use throughoutthe semester for assignment submissions, and (3) model the format and expectations for the labreports they will prepare in the course.Studies have shown that working engineers typically devote 20-40% of their workday tocommunication (a percentage that increases with career advancement) but less than 5% ofengineering education is devoted to communication skills [1]. Engineering students are exposedto technical writing at various points during their academic careers. Because students in MASC310L are from a range of disciplines and at a range of

Entrepreneurial Mindset.Background/Theoretical PerspectivesCapstone courses in engineeringEngineering capstone courses are an important component in engineering education as theyprovide students with the opportunity to solve design challenges using their accumulatedknowledge of their collegiate career. These design challenges are instructional, allowing studentsto practice and gain mastery prior to graduation. Oftentimes, these capstone experiences aresenior design courses and serve as completion markers prior to graduation. These courses aim toprovide the capstone experience through a multi-faceted “design” project [1], ideallyincorporating real-world objectives and constraints [2]. Oftentimes, the design project requiresstudents to balance several, at

general public as well as business leaders. As such, we redesigned the communicationactivities and deliverables for the course to better prepare students to interact with non-academicaudiences in their careers. The course consists of four major projects, each lasting 3-4 weeks. In the fourth project,students choose their own topics and conclude with a poster fair; that project will not bediscussed here. For the first three projects, as instructors we considered a variety ofcommunication scenarios, genres, and deliverable types that might make sense in connectionwith each of the technical topics. Our goal was to help students develop skills in communicatingwith a wide variety of audiences, including different levels of technical expertise on

What are some useful strategies for reading a scientific paper? Include at least three strategies mentioned in the article that you already use or would like to implement.2. What resonated with you in the “What do you do when there is something you don’t understand?” or “Do you ever feel overwhelmed reading papers, and how do you deal with that?” sections? Write about a topic that stood out to you as being important.Week 2:1. Suppose you were in charge of running a self-assembled monolayer deposition process. You noticed that some of your films have visible defects, so you want to investigate how to
