single coursemodule. The puzzle(s) within each room were specifically designed to align with the studentlearning outcomes of each module and to test a broad range of concepts within each imagingmodality. After reviewing the game rules and starting the countdown timer, the students chose aroom from a drop-down menu. An image of the “room” was then displayed within the MATLABGUI. As is customary in escape rooms, students had to identify both the question being askedand the answer to that question in order to determine the “secret code” (consisting of three lettersor numbers) required to escape the room. When the students solved the final room puzzle, theprogram immediately stopped and computed the time it took each team to escape. Two hints anda

)AbstractBackground: This virtual initiative, called Summer Engagement in Cyber UndergraduateResearch Experiences (SECURE), was established as a response to support students who mayhave lost summer internships and/or have financial hardships due to COVID-19. Several studentsin the program were NSF S-STEM scholars, a mix of computer engineering, cyber securityengineering, electrical engineering and software engineering students.Purpose/Hypothesis: The main question addressed by this initiative was whether we couldbuild a virtual undergraduate research experience that enabled students to apply their studies andknowledge similarly as they would in a traditional summer internship. Goals for the experienceincluded providing small-group mentoring as well as
behaviours or conflicts listed and individually documents theirpersonal strategy for dealing with this situation, which can reflect an approach they have used inthe past, or a hypothetical approach. Eight common underlying causes of conflict are thenintroduced [23]: • Attitudes • Perceptions • Personal goals • Behaviours • Communication • Resources • Conflict styles • ValuesReferring to this list, students are asked to consider which cause(s) may have underpinned theconflict they described and to reflect on how their knowledge of the underlying cause(s) mightaffect or change their solution. Finally, students are introduced to the following concepts whichserve to establish a positive and supportive interaction [24
the ADVANCE program, although strides have been made at the undergraduatelevel, yet the number of M.S. and Ph.D.’s awarded to underrepresented groups has not increasedappreciably since the mid 1990s [3], [4]. For instance, between 1997 and 2017, the number ofHispanic undergraduates grew from 14% to 24% whereas Hispanic faculty only increased from3% to 5% during the same time frame [5]. Zellers et al. [6] reported in 2008 that less than 10%of the full professors in sciences were women and only 3% of assistant and associate professorswere African American.There were 12,156 doctoral degrees were awarded with Native Americans earning 0.3% of thePh.D.’s, Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders 0.6%, African Americans 4.2%, Hispanics 6% and women23.6% in 2018

In summary, this work-in-progress paper presents a survey that measures a range ofoutcomes to assess the impact of a first-year engineering design course. By surveying thestudents at the beginning and end of the semester, positive changes in student self-efficacy andstudents’ perceptions of their skills are measured.References[1] A.

students who completed the assessmentsindividually. Additionally, we would like to focus on the impact of peer learning on the take-home test. What are the experiences of students who worked collaboratively on the take-hometest? How likely are students to seek help on this assessment? And where are they getting thissupport? By examining these questions and offering opportunities for students to share theirreasoning for opting in or out of the take-home tests, we will have a broader understanding oftheir decision-making and explore connections between critical thinking and collaboration.Bibliography 1.

Strongefforts were expended in assembling a curriculum, accepting overloads etc. In the end, consideringlow enrollment and lack of support from departmental chairs, the interdisciplinary “Ramps intoResearch” course that the STEM center had tested for one year was canceled.

The total data rate is maintained to besimilar to the conventional single-carrier modulation schemes in the same bandwidth 21. At thereceiver side, reverse operations of the transmitter are performed. The RF signal is first down-converted to baseband for processing. Then, the signal is low pass filtered, converted to digitalsignal using an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, and down sampled. The serial stream ofsampled time signal is converted into parallel streams by the serial-to-parallel (S/P) converterand the cyclic prefix is discarded from the received composite signal.
