technical writing skills in STEMdisciplines is well documented. Solutions have been proposed, implemented, and inconsistently sustained.One approach to improving disciplinary technical writing is through Writing Assignment Tutor Trainingin STEM (WATTS). WATTS is an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach in which STEM faculty workwith writing centers and generalist peer tutors to provide just-in-time assignment-specific feedback tostudents. WATTS research was funded by an NSF IUSE collaborative grant (award #s 2013467,2013496, & 2013541). In WATTS, the STEM instructor collaborates with the writing center supervisorand prepares materials for the tutor-training including assignment examples, a glossary of terms, areas ofconcern, and the

One is ourglobal competence assessment framework formed by combining the Miville-GuzmanUniversality-Diversity Scale - Short Form (MGUDS-S) and SIT’s student satisfaction survey.It will be used to evaluate participants’ global competence as well as to investigateweaknesses in the design of the online gPBL program. The other new tool is a new method ofassessing students’ level of engagement in group work based on an analysis of students’activity within the Slack collaboration platform. We believe that Slack-based evaluation cankeep a more effective, accountable track of student

To evaluate the effectiveness of the new interdisciplinary COIL, it was assessedalongside five other existing modules and the results were compared, with the key object ofinvestigation being the effect on participating students’ global competence. In total twoSTEM non-COIL modules, two STEM COIL modules (including the newly created one witha history component), and two history modules (one COIL and one non-COIL) had their pre-and post-program GC scores calculated using the Miville-Guzman Universality DiversityScale – Short Form (MGUDS-S).

However, post-warJapanese engineers felt the need to expunge their guilt at having developed such technologyand instead utilised it for more peaceful purposes.

As such, I have spent �me explaining these concepts,and by now, the students understand the term “frequency spectrum” or “spectrum.” However,the students s�ll do not know how to prac�cally generate the frequency spectrum of real data oruse the straigh�orward spectral analysis tools in MATLAB. 3.

In this course, students also learn about programrequirements and opportunities to achieve the program competencies, and develop a customizedfour-year plan for the program, i.e., they identify opportunities they would like to pursue to meeteach competency requirement and plan out when to pursue each opportunity during their fouryear journey. Due to the active learning and group based nature of this course, the first yearstudents also closely connect with their peers and the first year community in the GCSP. Moredetails

,frequent feedback and regular interactions between students and teachers [4]. Assessment andfeedback are crucial components in teaching and learning in engineering education [5]. Therefore,the impact of assessments on students can be significantly influenced by the quality of feedbackthey receive.Feedback serves various purposes including notifying students about their current performance,their achievement of course objectives, and bridging the gap between students’ currentperformance and desired performance [6]. Furthermore, good feedback practices encourage self-assessment, provides clarification on what is good performance, motivates and fosters self-esteemand informs the instructor’s teaching [7].According to Subheesh, N.

The gyroscope they designedwas created with the help of MEMS-Microfluidic solutions that enabled the implementation ofmicrofluidic channels in etched glass layers, which sandwiched a bulk-micromachined siliconsubstrate consisting of the sensing structures. Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS)gyroscopes are motion sensors that detect and measure the angular motion of an object [28]. Theycompared the angular rate sensitivity results of the designed gyroscope with a reference device,indicating an angular rate sensitivity of fewer than 1°/s, equivalent to that of the natural VS.
