It mentions a variety of topics that are addressed, including graphicalrepresentation of data, estimation, dimensions, units, error estimates, statistics, and teamwork.Additional non-mathematics topics such as engineering ethics and the impact of engineeringsolutions are also addressed during the course. Students wishing to enroll in the EngineeringFundamentals course must have successfully passed one of the following courses: CollegeMathematics for Managerial, Social, and Life Sciences (MATH 1630), Pre-calculus (MATH1730), or Calculus I (MATH 1910). These prerequisite courses are typically taken by first-yearstudents, depending on their

For example, while attending a conference, a student may be encouraged to reflect on a recent classroom learning experience. • Abstract conceptualization: In this stage, the learner forms new ideas or modifies existing ideas based on reflection. For example, after reflecting on the research problem, the learner may adjust their initial perception (learned during lectures) of how best to solve it. • Active experimentation: In this stage, learning is transferred to other settings around the learner.

Although students value in-person interactions over technology-based interactions, technology is a good ally to fostercommunity and aid the learning process.IntroductionEngaging students in the classroom is always challenging for instructors, but research suggeststhat motivation can be sparked by appealing to students’ desire to make a positive impact on theworld [1], [2]. Keshwani and Curtis [2] found that sophomore students in biological engineeringare motivated by the opportunity to make this world a better place, help others solve problems,and improve other people's lives.

Another benefit for Veterans using GI Bill benefits to obtain flight training at aninstitution of higher learning (IHL) is that all the flight training will be covered. Veteransobtaining flight training at a flight school not connected to an IHL must obtain their Private Pilotcertificate at their own expense.

While natural processes act without political/social intent, people practice science within a social context that is immersed in cultures infused with political and social power differentials. The questions asked, priorities assigned, interpretation of data, and presentation of results are all deeply subjective. Conversely, SE respects and values varied ways of knowing and, therefore, the sharing of power over what and how engineers should research, design, and implement. ● Meritocratic: Meritocracy is the false assumption that the system as it currently exists is fair and just.

With this in mind, theArts team was mostly responsible for ideation and design of ideas, while theengineering teams led the majority of the practical implementation of the brainstormedideas. Similarly, the survey results showed that the average rating for instructor supportand guidance was 2.5 out of 5. This low score, can be attributed to the nature of designthinking pedagogy where instructor acts as a facilitator and leave students on their ownto explore the whole scope of design and encourage them to work togethercollaboratively. In the open-ended questions, the students showed a high level ofsatisfaction with the selected projects

IntroductionThe design and operation of energy systems have direct impacts on the environment and society.Generating electricity by burning fossil fuels leads to greenhouse gas emissions and is one of themain culprits for the changing climate. Even renewable energy resources such as wind, solar, orhydro can have negative impacts on material usage, local environment, and/or microclimate.Moreover, the way electricity is produced, transmitted, and distributed to consumers canpotentially bring up many energy (in)justice issues. Particularly, as large-scale power outages dueto weather-induced natural disasters become a common occurrence

practices to target theretention of students, particularly those from historically marginalized communities. Accordingto reports from FIU’s AIM website for retention and graduation studies [13], some of theseactions and practices included:1. Changes in grading options – The No Credit (NC) grading option replaced a D or F in any University Core Curriculum course with an NC grade. While NC grades may be considered a negative impact on retention and graduation, they are less detrimental to a student’s success than Fs. Using the NC policy as an intervention helps bring about behavior change and thus increases the number of returning students.2.

While MRS providesa PowerPoint Poster template, there is no specific format for the poster and students areencouraged to present their material that best fits their research. Students are also encouraged toremember that posters are a visual experience so font size, organization, and graphics are allimportant at conveying your point and that language needs to be concise. The poster mustinclude the following sections as a minimum: • Background: Give an overview of the relevant history or technical details that inform the problem you are interested in. • Thesis/Problem Statement: What specific aspect of the topic is your group focusing on?
