Consequently, in a co-requisite pre-calculus setting, students receive an additional two hours of instruction dedicated to learningalgebraic fundamentals. A comprehensive review of current literature on innovations andinterventions targeting enhanced mathematics outcomes underscores several promisingremediation approaches. These include active learning methodologies, hands-on projects,inventive interventions resembling comic books, mentorship programs, integration oftechnology, personalized one-to-one assistance, and peer study groups [3].

Further, while the underrepresentation of AfricanAmerican, Latinx, and Native American engineers increases as level of education increases,support focused on retention of graduate students from diverse backgrounds is limited. This projectaimed to promote inclusive teaching practices within a graduate program in chemical engineering.The project involved a) fostering inclusive teaching practices in select core graduate courses, b)offering workshops on inclusive teaching practices for faculty and graduate teaching assistants,and c) data collection from students on department climate, sense of belonging, classroomengagement, and barriers faced.

Since most students takethermodynamics in their junior year and heat transfer in their senior year, a complicated heattransfer analysis would be beyond their experience and education. For a finite elements course,this could be an excellent project.

However,through the contact points with the industry, the industry continues to project images ofengineering as technocentric, capitalist, neglectful of justice issues, and unattentive to its impacton the communities [3], [12]. These images leave students to experience tensions between theiridentities and the industrial culture, as manifested in the above quote of an

However, the Directors felt that no matterhow large the number of resources thrown at a project, without synergy there is little chance oftrue success. This is why it is part of the foundational factors in the model. Furthermore, theDirectors recognized the importance of acquiring monetary resources but were more focused onacquiring resources that could help fuel synergy. For example, one director was very focused onhaving time spent teaching in the interdisciplinary initiative count towards a faculty member’steaching load and service. This resource allocation would allow members to dedicate more timeand effort

The benchmark product wasa popular rubber band shooter by another manufacturer (Model PL7920, Funtime; Figure 2b),which was physically on hand for students to work with. Students were asked to derive from firstprinciples the expected target distance based on rubber band stretch, to redesign the rubber bandstretch mechanism to achieve desired target distance, and use propagation of error

The processbegins with establishing a clear problem statement and study goals, leading to actionablerecommendations to support decision-making. Crucially, after model development, simulationstudies require debugging, verification, and validation. However, some students struggle todistinguish between these terms.Debugging entails meticulously examining a model for errors. This encompasses syntax issues aswell as semantic or logical errors that can lead to misleading output. Fortunately

One major limitation of thecurrent delivery mode of the DEDP is that it normally takes two (2) to three (3) weeks,sometimes even longer, for the video taped lectures to reach off-campus students. As aresult, students enrolled in the DEDP program are at times more than three weeks behindtheir on-campus peers in submitting the required assignments, projects, and tests. Thisdelay also generates additional load for faculty in terms of grading and advising on-campus and distance students at different points in the course.

If the dropspacing is to close, then the ink tends to pool up causing inconsistent print quality. If thedrop spacing is too large then the ink may not be continuous. We found that using a dropspacing of 25 µm provided sufficient overlap and avoided pooling up of the ink. In one ofthe samples it was observed that the resistivity was not uniform on the x and y axis. Inthe x direction the resistivity measures about 0.5 Ω/cm, however in the y direction itmeasured 100 KΩ. This is due to drop spacing being too large and the tendency of theink to flow in the direction of
