With respect tofinancial benefits, the primary cost of the program to the university is faculty time. The cost offaculty time to run the program, including course release time provided to the leadership team, isapproximately $45,000/year. Using term-to-term retention rates of the first three cohorts of theprogram (N = 21) the projected net revenue benefit to the institution over seven years (until allthree cohorts would graduate) is approximately $112,000.

Next steps for this project involve a continued focus on requiring all four vertically-integrated courses in the curriculum and scaling up. Currently only two are required courses, whilethe other two are electives. As these courses become more integrated, the need for consistentinstruction across instructors increases as the classes become larger or require more sections.Conclusion This poster represents ongoing work towards curricular and cultural change in the Schoolof Civil and Environmental Engineering at Georgia Tech.

Our critical perspective acknowledges the existence of theories of learning and teachingbut sought to center participants’ voices, perspectives, and realities as a lens on them and the power they hold indescribing education [26,27]. Doing so helps us avoid projecting our own knowledge of the dominant scholarlynarratives of good and bad teaching onto participants’ understanding of their own experiences. It also provides apath to hold those perspectives in tension with the dominant narrative ‘reality’ of good teaching when they differ,which we found to be useful in understanding the experience students have in classrooms.ResultsIn keeping with our work in progress/pilot focus, our results share

So before getting started, it may behelpful to understand why there is such a demand for these workers and why these trades arebecoming more attractive to more people. The sections below will answer these questions.

The EEG signals will be preprocessed using filters to removeartifacts and confounding events from the data. The data will then be analyzed using Fast FourierTransform (FFT) to abstract features of the EEG signals associated with active and passive tasks.After these initial calibrations, an external device will be created to alert the user when they enteror exit a focused state.
