The organization ofsuch a faculty is incidental to its function and does not interfere with any current managementstructures at either the laboratory or at the universities. Three needs must be met for successfulcooperation.First, there must be a need for both education programs and research in an area of mutual

Therefore it is essential that it be the first machine modified andaltered to allow safe operation for the paraplegic user and others. Current machine interfacedesign neglects the principle of designing for all. Redesign of the drill will make it safer,easier to use, increase productivity and allow for the inclusion of the paraplegic user.Current working heights, legislation, design factors and safety need to be addressed todevelop a user-friendly machine for all.From analysing current working heights, the problems faced by the paraplegic user havebecome evident.

Theyneed to realize the importance of finishing a project on time.Since the Engineering Materials course was obviously in need of a new approach, I decided touse the opportunity to have the students practice some of these skills that I had observed wereneeded in industry. This paper explains the variation, developed by this author, on the typicalteam-based learning method. The “lecture method” is partially maintained but is used only toexplain certain concepts that students have difficulty grasping or to answer specific questionsraised by a student. The remaining class time is used for “team-based learning,” where it isintended that students work together to

External assignments (primarily homework) should carry little or no weight in student grades. The focus of homework should be shifted towards a tool for student preparedness, with students aware that their completion of assignments will significantly impact their readiness for in-person, heavily-weighted exams and other evaluations. 3. Given that student grades will depend on demonstration of understanding without the use of ChatGPT or other AI tools, students should be made aware of the abilities of these platforms as tools to aid in learning and future engineering

This learner-centered concept is centered onincorporating learning activities as a medium to engage students, eliminate intimidation barriers,and promote student learning. As a result, physical visual supplements have been incorporatedduring lecture sessions with the intention of simplifying complex themes and conveying real-worldapplications. Research indicates that incorporating visual during an instructional setting increasesstudent engagements, retention rates, cultivates awareness, and elevates academic performance

They play a critical role inmitigating the risks of cyber attacks and breaches in organizations. Due to the manual process ofselecting families and controls, the implementation of these frameworks is veryresource-intensive and time-consuming. This project addresses this challenge by investigatingthe feasibility of partially automating the process of selecting families. In this study, wedeveloped an application in Java that applies statistical techniques such as TF-IDF and Cosinesimilarity to the families of the NIST cybersecurity framework.

They pointed to this as challenging and interesting. At this upper-level stageof their engineering program (or having graduated), they were most interested in the concepts forwhich they could see a purpose. The mathematics-heavy concepts were singled out as difficultto understand and too difficult to apply in their design work and in their careers.Related to real-world applications, four students pointed to the design of physical objects eitheras their reason for

Our hypothesis is that all students generally, and women and minoritiesparticularly, are more likely to do well in statics when the problems are placed in the context ofreal world usefulness. Towards that end, we have been developing InTEL (Interactive Toolkit forEngineering Education), a computer-based manipulable environment that supports teaching andlearning in statics by mapping images from real-world environments to abstract free-bodydiagrams for 2D and 3D equilibrium problems. To the best of our knowledge, there are very fewonline tools students can use to study 3D equilibrium problems. Yet
