of ergonomics in the industry has become significantly important nowadays, especiallyfor designing a workstation. The purpose of ergonomics application in industry is to make the workplacebest fit for the workers to ensure their comfort and safety. It impacts the workers’ satisfaction, reduces thenumber of injuries and production rate. To maximize the safety and productivity of a workingenvironment, an ergonomic approach must evaluate every aspect of the workplace and appropriatelyimplement rules, guidelines, and plans. This paper addressed an injury risk in the manufacturing industryand proposed multiple solutions to resolve injury and musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risk. The injuryrisks include bare skin exposure to sparks while grinding

The objectives of CREATE are: (1) To implement a scholarship program built onevidence-based curricular and co-curricular best practices that supports low-income,academically talented students with demonstrated financial need through successful programcompletion; (2) To conduct a mixed-methods research study of the effect of the implementedevidence-based practices on the self-efficacy and engineering identity of the cohorts to contributeto the existing knowledge base on

The objective of the survey is to figure out how students think aboutsustainable design and construction, also how sustainable education affects students. The surveytime was October 2020 and conducted a survey to the students through Qualtrics Software. Afterthe students finish the survey, data were exported to excel, and then tables and charts wasdeveloped. And compare the data for both universities and analysis the

to exclude their information.3.3 COVID-19 Setting To provide greater context to the setting in which this research was conducted, we mustacknowledge the COVID-19 pandemic and the situations in which that forced internationalstudents into. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, incoming international students were admittedinto a special virtual program designed to cater to their needs called Bound. This allowedstudents to take asynchronous classes while being in various time zones. While being at homewas safe and comfortable, it was also difficult for students to make connections with peers andparticipate in extracurricular activities. Despite the virtual nature of most meetings and events,being in a time zone more than 7 hours ahead made it
necessary to carry on aneffective class at the university level.Specific ModulesOn the other hand the specific modules are designed to address specific issues related to eachdepartment. In this case each department will be responsible in exploring its own needs andresources for the development of online training modules for its teaching assistants. In theDepartment of Engineering Technology, for example, some of the needs include but not limited to: • General policies of the department • Best soldering practices and wiring standards • Emergency and safety regulations • Training on various software simulation tools.Figure 2 shows a snapshot of the online training modules developed and currently being

development in order to protect the environment for future generations” (Eide, et al., 2002). But how do we include the concepts of public service and sustainability into early engineering education? At Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech), first-year engineering students are preparing for the future by learning to incorporate sustainability into their overall design decisions. Through completion of integrated coursework and design projects, students are learning to consider the economic, environmental and social impacts of a problem in order to create sustainable solutions. These activities coincide with Michigan Tech’s emphasis on sustainability in both educational and research activities (see www.sfi.mtu.edu, for example). Michigan

demonstrate an explicit connection to graduate education theory and criticalconstructs/concepts for success. Research has shown that addressing the topics in Table 1 cansignificantly impact student retention. These workshops provide students with tools forsuccessful degree navigation as well as a network of support at their institutions, in the broaderRDI cohort, and the larger online network. Underlying every session is the understanding that students are aiming to persist in anenvironment that was not designed for them. Through our sessions, we provided validation thatfeelings of not belonging are real and valid (Gardner & Holley, 2011; Gildersleeve et al., 2011;Wood et al., 2016), but also that they can succeed with supportive tools.
