. Although graphs and stopmotion photography can be used to infer continuous motion, it can still be difficult to getstudents to appreciate the changing velocities and accelerations involved in the motion ofparticles and rigid bodies. To help overcome this, we have incorporated the use of an advancedmotion analysis system into several of our courses at Cal Poly.The use of motion analysis is nothing new – in fact the physics community has been using suchtechnology for years [1-3]. Some investigators have worked to develop their own motionanalysis software [4] to get around the high costs of most motion capture systems, and othershave recognized the advanced image processing capabilities of MatLab to perform motiontracking [5] (http

For example, one student commented, “I thought itwas a really interesting topic that has larger social consequences. It was cool to get away fromthe stigma of engineers only worrying about math and showing that engineering is able to haveeffect in other disciplines.” Overall, students felt that these modules enhanced their learning ofcircuits’ content and was relevant to their training as engineers.IntroductionABET accreditation includes requirements to consider social and global impact [1].

In this paper, we define thriving as the process in whichstudents develop and refine asset-based competencies that allow them to achieve optimalfunctioning in engineering. The one-credit elective course was developed at a large midwesternuniversity as the first step to investigate whether non-cognitive competencies relevant to thrivingand wellbeing could be taught. Currently, thriving remains an underexplored area in engineeringcontexts [1]. We hypothesize that interventions

The AAUP was organized to ensureacademic freedom for faculty members, which at the time was considered an innovative concept[2]. Tenure is often misunderstood as a job-guarantee for life, but it is not the case, since it doesnot provide protection from dismissal, but it is a measure of protection from colleagues, and anyspecial problems that arise in an academic democracy [3].The tenure process throughout the years has faced both criticism and praise, with

Reflection is an essential part of learning, but it is not widely used inengineering curricula. However, using reflective learning techniques in the classroom can helpstudents develop critical thinking skills [1] [2], which are highly valued in the modern workplace[3]. Critical thinking consists of an objective analysis and reconstruction of availableinformation, often from multiple sources, before deciding what to accept as valid. While weexpect that the ability to think critically develops with practice and time, it would be

In reviewing the unemployed, the question arises is there ashortage of jobs or a shortage of qualified workers? The qualities or attributes that employerslook at in job applicants is not a one size fits all nor is it a strict hard skills environment. Whilehard skills are quantifiable, soft skills are more subjective but according to a survey conductedby CareerBuilder in 2015, 77% of over 2,000 respondents claimed that soft skills were just asimportant as hard skills while 16% said that soft skills were actually more important than hardskills [1].
