Five-member teamscollaborate on the ideation, sketching, planning, designing, modeling, assembly and functionalanimations of proposed large engineering structures. Students divide the overall assembly into amanageable number of subassemblies, and delegate tasks so that each member contributes toparts modeling, assembly, animation, checks for functionality, and documentation.

Students who are likely to persist in engineering reported supportive relationships withmentors, positive near peer role models, a strong sense of community, and an intention tocomplete their engineering major. Yet, accessing these support systems is often challenging forlow-income students, who are more likely to work long hours and spend more time off campusand less likely to have adequate opportunities to interact with others in their major and seethemselves in role models and as part of that community. The COVID-19 pandemic disruptedthe higher education plans and financial viability of UCSB engineering students, especially thosefrom low-income families.

interventions designed to improve student persistence across all student groups. Perhapsthe most relevant finding in support of the research discussed in this paper is that increasing thefrequency of asking students to retrieve precalculus skills improves their retention acrosssubsequent semesters, better preparing them for courses later in their plans of study and tocomplete their engineering degrees [8]. It should be noted that while that study investigated thefrequency of retrieval in a precalculus course, it follows that incorporating space retrieval withinlater mathematics courses would benefit students.Considering the impact of calculus courses on retention and persistence within engineeringprograms, there is a clear need for intervention

An example of an extreme case of this can be seen inIndia in 2012, when non-technical losses were 25% of all power distributed [16]. The stress oftheft helped cause a blackout in 2012 which affected 700 million, or 8.5% of the globalpopulation [11] [17].Electricity Theft MethodsTechniques used to steal electricity are varied.

For some, the latter requirement was thrust uponthem without adequate preparation so they had to muddle ahead. For others, their universitieshad previously introduced their faculty to distance learning didactic concepts as a matter ofcourse, so for those faculty the transition may have been a lot smoother.
