One of the NSF coalitions, ECSEL has major efforts in freshman design, which have been Page 2.128.1widely reported (e.g., Dally and Zang[4] Regan and Mindermann[5]).

concepts throughcomplex design experiences. In our design class, ME3110: Creative Decisions and Design [11],student teams work through a structured design process in order to 1) design and build a complexmechanical artifact and 2) learn general lessons about doing engineering design, working inteams, and learning from experience. In such an environment, students, under pressure to get thework done, may develop a task focus rather than a learning focus [12]. They often forget aboutthe overall learning goals of the class (i.e., learn how to work in a team) in the midst of thedemands of the project. The learning essay is an activity we use to get students to step awayfrom the details of their personal design experience and reflect on what they can

Overcoming Barriers to Learning: By identifying any misconceptions or apprehensions students may have about data science, educators can design interventions that address these issues directly. This might include demystifying data science, showcasing its integral role in solving real-world chemical engineering problems, and providing supportive learning environments that encourage experimentation and inquiry. 3. Enhancing Motivation and Engagement: Understanding students' willingness to engage with data science can help educators employ strategies that boost motivation. For example, integrating practical, hands-on projects that

First, it offers practices,recommendations, and principles of inclusive teaching both within and outside engineeringeducation. Second, some of this literature also addresses faculty challenges related toimplementing these pedagogies.One major component of diversifying the engineering profession is through creating a moreinclusive

More research is also needed for the best anchoring and wayto utilize the TENG to its full potential. Engineers and healthcare professionals should also worktogether to find more viable designs and project ideas for TENG implantables. Research ofbiodegrading materials is needed to prevent biodegradable TENG powered pacemakers fromdegrading too fast. While the future for triboelectric nanogenerator powered pacemakers is hugedue to its lack of the downsides of the traditional lithium powered implantable, all of it comesdown to more research.
