Another studyfocused on the specific experiences of Black women studying engineering at Predominantly WhiteInstitutions. Similarly, this study highlighted how Black women felt isolated, unable to form studygroups (an integral aspect of succeeding in engineering), subjected to microaggressions, while alsofeeling Hypervisible, highlighting the polarized experiences of Black women in engineering [14].Although there is growth in literature specifically focused on Black women’s engineeringexperiences

By connecting themathematical concepts and engineering applications to the physical world, it generates moreinterests and in-depth learning, and reinforces the understanding of the underlying EM theory.I. IntroductionThe classical electromagnetic (EM) theory guided by Maxwell’s Equations has been around forover 150 years. It has an incredible impact on many modern technologies such as antennas andwireless communication, integrated circuits and computer technologies, remote sensing, lasersand optoelectronics, and more.

However, it is not difficult to either incorporate some of theseactivities into already existing laboratory experiments or to combine some of those alreadyexisting to free up time for the new ones.

This protocol focuses on the instructor, including tracking questionsand responses, transitions from one activity to another, physical movement and the set up of theclassroom space, which is appealing. However, there is no provision for the coding of tool use inthis protocol [31]. Subsequently, the Classroom Observation Protocol for Engineering Design(COPED) was designed to evaluate engineering design curriculum integration in K-12classrooms [32]. The authors focus their protocol on emphasizing engineering design processesand habits of mind. The COPED is an incremental protocol designed to observe one aspect ofengineering education in K-12 classes. Wheeler [32] states that other protocols

It is largely the capstone project thatdistinguishes the coordinate major from a minor.This area of application of student’s studies in computer science is usually this student’s primarymajor. However, any subject in which a student has completed extensive course work (or obtainedequivalent experience) can serve as the area of application.

Also, candidates may prefer explaining problems with a pencil on thepaper or on a computer using an integrated development environment. Next, they suggested usingproblems actually encountered at the company, since many puzzles are not reflective of real-worldsituations. Such tasks are seen as giving an unfair advantage to candidates just out of school.Finally, they propose problem solving “as colleagues, not as examiners” a recommendation whichhighlights that rather than an intense interrogation the process should be balanced, and shouldinvolve working together to solve issues, and that this could even be accomplished with other“potential teammates.”In addition to the two

She intends to further her knowledge in the
disciplines to develop a curriculum forService Systems Engineering that integrates business, engineering, and the sciences and serves asa model for other universities. This is an exciting degree program that takes curriculumdevelopment beyond its current boundaries and branches into a new direction. In this paper,efforts related to the development of the curriculum will be described, as will the challengesfaced by the project team to facilitate interdisciplinary education. The successes to date will behighlighted along with the lessons learned, and collaboration experiences with other universityfaculty members on curriculum development.IntroductionIn the next decade, the role of services will continue to grow and skilled individuals are neededto

To highlight the disparity of coverage ofthese CI components within the contexts of academic computing programs, we use a literaturereview to present the documented interactions among components, frequency of interactions, andsharing of data between those components. Curriculum, faculty, and course CI are discussed themost and are the most tightly integrated either by being studied together or by sharing data.

To train students in thisprocess, the electrical engineering curriculum includes an Electrical Systems Laboratory as a 2-credit final semester course. A design project is an important element of the course and constitutes50% of overall grade in the course. The topics include discrete components, integrated circuits(ICs), programmable logic controllers, and LabVIEW for test, measurement, and control.MethodologyAs a first step, students are grouped in teams of 2 to 3 members.

In addition to framing student underperformance as an individual or familial problem, deficit perspectives obscure how educators and systemic oppression undermine the success of minoritized student populations. (p. 6)In response, anti-deficit teaching practices center on the effective use of transformativeeducational pedagogies that aim to create equitable learner spaces that integrate the voices ofthose traditionally marginalized [2]. For example, Graham et al. [19] communicated a“persistence model” in which the acquisition of knowledge and professional skills (i.e., student’slearning) along with student identification of (connecting) what they are studying to

Besides the pedagogical approach, various curriculum models forengineering ethics education have been discussed, including stand-alone ethics course and across-the-curriculum models [11]. Bielefeldt and her colleagues [3] showed that the most commonsetting where ethics is taught is senior capstone design classes, according to chemical engineeringfaculty members. However, even though the stand-alone ethics course is a common form ofteaching ethics, Ocone [21] argued that introduction of ethics throughout the whole curriculumwould be necessary, because an integration approach has the advantage of integrating ethical issuesinto

engineering decision-making, they are led to solving problems with atechnical perspective that leaves out ethical or environmental implications until the end, if atall. Without integration between the social and technical dimensions of engineering, theengineering curriculum will leave students to reinforce existing racial and environmentalinjustices rather than cultivating a critical understanding of the social, political, and economiccontext in which they will be engineers. Additionally, revising an engineering course to modelsociotechnical fluency and design has the potential to attract and retain students who havehistorically been excluded from engineering and are still not served by traditional engineeringcurricula (Faulkner, 2007; Litchfield

MATLAB includes the requisite programming constructs,has an easy to understand Graphical User Interface (GUI), and requires no prior programmingexperience.
