He received his PhD in 2007 from Virginia Tech in Engineering Mechanics where he studied the vestibular organs in the inner ear using finite element models and vibration analyses. After graduating, he spent a semester teaching at a local community college and then two years at University of Massachusetts (Amherst) studying the biomechanics of biting in bats and monkeys, also using finite element modeling
complement traditional classroom lectures is twofold: 1) they provide away for students to visualize the phenomena about which they are learning, lowering thecognitive load of the lesson; and 2) they also provide professors with an opportunity to havestudents work in groups. The first point is mostly intuitive. If students must visualize in theirown minds the phenomena taking place, they must exert extra effort they could be spending onsolving problems or exploring the topics in more detail. This also leads to misconceptions, asstudents likely will not have a complete model of the phenomena with their current knowledgeand will need a form of reference material to avoid making mistakes. This is often why, in atraditional engineering class, students

in mind, an engineering technical writing class was used to further examine theevolving landscape of academic writing and detect the domains in which students and educatorscan appropriately utilize AI tools. In this regard, several writing tasks were outlined, whereinundergraduate engineering students were asked to write with and without AI’s assistance in orderto explore the pros and cons of using natural language processing (NLP) models for technicalwriting and gauge the interest and enthusiasm of students in utilizing AI tools. Then, acomprehensive comparative analysis was conducted to analyze several factors including writingstyle, the structure of paragraphs, the accuracy of numerical data, and the empathetic language ofthe essays
inclusion, practicinginclusive leadership is essential. Leaders in engineering organizations play a significant role inshaping work spaces, environments, policies, cultures, values, and social norms [10]. It isessential for inclusive leaders to be mindful of the cultures they are perpetuating and seek todevelop a culture of belonging where all individuals, regardless of identity or privilege, believethey can thrive [10]. Inclusive CulturesWorkplace cultures and environments can greatly impact performance, productivity, efficiency,teamwork, communication, collaboration, job satisfaction, employee engagement, stress, andburnout and even retention [12].

-C: What are the primary limitations of SNA in engineering education research?With these RQs in mind, we identified a scoping literature review as the most fittingmethodology.MethodologyTo answer our RQs, we applied a scoping literature review methodology. A scoping literaturereview offers an initial evaluation of the extent of the current literature on a specific topic andidentifies the depth of that research. Identifying the scope and depth of prior research is helpfulfor researchers to highlight gaps in existing bodies of research, determine if one or moresystematic reviews are necessary, and identify trends in the existing literature [5].The first step in our scoping review process was to conduct an initial search through GoogleScholar
