EMS company (electronic manufacturing services). This new post-secondary education architecture will provide the student with a real-world learning environmentfor a full four-year undergraduate engineering program. The students learn the traditionalengineering theory and practical skills by participating in every aspect of the EMS business –hence, the phrase concurrent education. The professors in the school also lead project teamsconsisting of students and staff on the EMS production floor. The students will be compensatedfor their work in the EMS. The teaching staff will be employed by the business as well as theschool. The paper presents the planned curriculum for the students’ freshman year. The schoolutilizes the real world EMS classroom

Metrics ranged from the relativelystraightforward measures of the number of engineering education programs and productivity ofthose programs and individual researchers, which could be expected to have impact, to the moresubtle changes in attitude toward EER&I and extent of implementation of the results of EER&Iresearch, which would reflect the impact. Some of those subtle changes include attitudes towardwho can/should be an engineer and how the engineering culture, and courses, can change tobroaden participation in engineering

Design in Engineering Education
(IDEs)For this study, an Individual Design Experience (IDE) was developed to mitigate pre-existingdisparities in hands-on prototyping tasks in introductory engineering design courses. The IDEproject required students to create a child’s pull toy manufactured primarily out of wood andcomplied with ASTM toy safety standards. IDE learning objectives were: (1) to develop andexecute a manufacturing plan to create complex shapes from common stock materials, e.g., stocklumber, dowels, and rounds; (2) to identify and use common hardware like screws and springs tocreate a multi-part assembly; and (3) to confidently use hand tools and low precision powertools, e.g., power drill, band saw, and sanders. Evaluation of the IDE was consistent with

STEM career aspirations tend to decline over time; however, there are clear individualdifferences in changes in STEM career plans, which fluctuate for many students [24].

Throughout the semester up to Cornerstone demonstrations,course instruction, activities, and deliverables have been designed in a dual-purpose manner, inthat they augment student practice of essential engineering skills (such as introductoryprogramming), while at the same time scaffolding progression towards Cornerstone Projectcompletion. Scaffolded lesson plans related to programming have been designed to exposestudents to two primary means of programming interface and methodology.

to implement and analyze data using the statistical method Design of Experiments (DOE) to aChemE UO laboratory module on Heat Exchangers.Methods A lot of a chemical engineer’s work involves experimentation. DOE is a great tool that can helpwith the basics of planning efficient and effective experiments and then gives a methodology for analyzingthe data obtained by such experiments. In DOE the experimenter changes controllable variables of thesystem or process and then analyzes output data to make inferences about which variables are significantand responsible for the changes observed, as shown in Figure 1 [2]. For that reason, DOE is a powerful toolwhen studying complex systems, such as heat exchangers. Figure 1: Generic

This transition would be a smooth transition as the student already have gainedprior experience in working with 8-bit microcontroller in its pre-requisite course (2xxx level)offered in the program while keeping the overall scope of the course same. The plan wasshared with and approved by the curriculum committee members.Thus, the author decided to redesign the course “Advanced Embedded System” offered in theauthor’s ECET (Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology) program.This paper describes the modification of the course materials related to a 32-bitmicrocontroller along with its salient

Other benefits of active learning include development of graduate capabilities such ascritical and creative thinking, problem-solving, adaptability, communication and interpersonalskills (Kember & Leung. 2005, 167), and improving students’ perceptions and attitudes towardsinformation literacy (Deltor et al. 2012).

Thesecond implementation examined the perceived relative benefits of the various conventional andunconventional learning techniques employed in the course.

Other programs such as SketchUp or Civil designsoftware from developers such as Bentley or MicroStation could have been used in the deliveryof the course.The decision was made to use AutoCAD and Civil 3D in the course because the software iswidely used in civil engineering, the software is available to students free of charge, and thereare many design features available in Civil 3D.

For the most part, transfer studentscarry these challenges as invisible minority marks. As such, they may share with other minoritystatuses a sense of “otherness” from the mainstream college student, and consequent obstacles toself-confidence and -efficacy, weaker academic achievement, uncertainty of future plans in theirmajors, and a weaker sense of being part of the (student) community in their major.

Unfortunately, the randomly generatedexamples and exercises in that system do not yet support using this method, as the relevant partsof the software were written prior to conceiving of the new approach and considerable changeswill be required. It is planned to add support for it in the future. The entire tutorial system isfreely available (via the first author) to instructors who wish to use it.The revamped approach to mesh analysis can now be summarized as follows: 1.

So, in order to know how to detect a deepfake, we needed to know how it is created. Our plan is to generate deep fakes and formulate asolution to fight it. Through this project, we also hope to educate the crowd and raise awareness. MethodThe project is divided into two phases: Creating deep fake and detecting it.

Faculty express a sense of satisfaction in helping students as their incentive forparticipation. For the few pairs that have not been as successful, it has usually been because the pairsfail to meet as planned.

Based on subplots B and C the majorityof students felt the project did help them in experimental planning and data capture and inlearning new ways to produce visualizations in MATLAB. However, few students found theproject provided practice in producing physical hardware using campus MakerSpaces. This islikely because many teams ended up producing their sensor mountings using off-the-shelfcomponents and did not need to use the campus facilities.Finally, Figure 5 presents results regarding how much students enjoyed the project and how wellthey thought
