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

However, post-warJapanese engineers felt the need to expunge their guilt at having developed such technologyand instead utilised it for more peaceful purposes. The learning outcomes from this lecture were measured by filling out a questionnaire.Most of them mentioned their redemption by developing technology used for the war,importance of having a peaceful mindset, safety, and/or the contribution of the threeengineers as the most impressive lessons learned (see their feedback in ‘Program evaluation’below).

gyroscopethat would consume less power than vibration-based gyroscopes. 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. Anultra-low power consumption of 300 μW was achieved without continually excited vibrating mass,which

Continuous ImprovementContinuous improvement should be a part of every program and course and having the benefit ofdesigning the program with a clean sheet gave us the opportunity to integrate continuousimprovement from the start, beginning with our courses. To assist, we created a slide format tosummarize what we learned and that we also use to discuss our new insights with our DataScience Advisory Council. For example, Figure 1, below, is an example for the course forstudents not ready for Calculus I. Our faculty completes them every year for their course, andwe use the feedback to improve the course and the student experience.

So like I think and for the sake of like having more time, I think … it would have been more helpful if we'd started earlier on projectsInterestingly, even though most felt anxious about completing the projects in the time allotted,when interviewed at the end of the program, most of the participants felt that 9 weeks wasenough time for the SSEF. The most common feedback from the students was to move theproject and group selection earlier in the program so that expert talks could be arranged thatdirectly apply to their selected topic area(s) and/or to provide them more time for their projects.

integration of engineering with humanities topics is a natural choice.Some integration is done in an on-campus course [3] with multiple case studies [4], using amodule in a first-year course [5], with virtual interactions with another institution [6], or during asemester-long course with an attached faculty-led component [7].As a supplemental pedagogy, faculty-led trips are especially impactful when students areimmersed in another culture for several weeks, under the guidance of familiar faculty member(s)from their main campus (see [8][9]). During the faculty-led trips, the students will encounter,with first-hand experiences, the differences in how things run, which often spark inquiries onwhat factors have contributed to those phenomena, and these
