mathematical competencies of the students, many instructors have noted howdifficult it can be to teach new concepts, and at times, to “un-teach” misconceptions that studentshave already formed on some of the fundamental topics [1]. Examples of mechanics experimentshave been reported to help with students understanding, motivation, and concept retention [2],[3], [4], and [5].An experimental platform to study the bending behavior of beams has been under developmentfor several years by the authors [6], [7], and [8]. Originally, a portable, beam-bending apparatuswas designed and fabricated that (a) could fix a variety of metallic and nonmetallic beamspecimens in a cantilever fashion, (b) could apply point loading and monitor beam tipdisplacement and
significantly affected.Introduction and Background It is easy to say that the COVID-19 pandemic challenged teaching techniques andprocedures at traditional institutions of higher education, but quantifying these consequences ofCOVID is difficult, especially for engineering specialties. Did students perform better inengineering classes thanks to the responsiveness and availability of online instruction, or did theysuffer with the loss of laboratories and demonstrations in the standard classroom? Numerous researchers have grappled with this question, across many disciplines andaround the world. Fundamentally, it appears that COVID lockdown periods, especially thoseearly in the pandemic’s development (2020), increased the state of stress
. The contentof this introductory course varies from program to program, and there is no well-acceptedcurricular model for it. Programs typically use this course for student orientation to theengineering field, to teach problem solving, for design projects and contests, for developingcommunication and professional skills, for developing computing and software skills, and forpotentially a host of other local interests. Some programs have also aligned this introductorycourse with an existing traditional engineering topic, such as engineering graphics, as is the casewith the UT-ME program. There is also an opportunity to introduce the program outcomes inthis course and to even establish some assignments that can be used for assessment purposes.The
their attitudes on ethical issues.From students’ own discussions and from Goulet’s experience, it appears that studentattitudes and perceptions can be favorably impacted by clearly and forcefully settingstandards of appropriate behavior and by integrating ethical and legal decision-makinginto the curriculum. In that manner, ethical behavior is something that is done, rather thanstudied. Wankat and Oreovicz have proposed strategies for instilling honest behavior inengineering students by stressing (as did Goulet) the Engineering Code of Ethics; byreducing anxiety that might foster unethical behavior; by faculty always being a presencein the classroom and laboratory; and by structuring engineering education in such waysthat unethical behavior is
accreditation requirements for both the College of Education and the School ofEngineering. Education students require additional exposure to engineering concepts that theycan subsequently take into the K-12 classroom [1]. Engineering students need practice indesigning experiments and communicating effectively with a range of audiences [2]. In addition,appropriate content and limits are suggested for teaching at three possible educational levels:elementary, middle school, and high school. This virtual thought experiment [3] is part of a largereffort to develop a new lab manual for earth science courses that will include a variety of moreholistic engineering-related lab experiments [4].A novel feature of this experiment is its holistic approach to

A recurrent theme in his Multiscale Manufacturing Laboratory is assessing the effect of processing on the properties of carbonaceous materials and structures at multiple length scales, towards tailoring their performance.

In the spring of 2020, most academicprograms – both at the undergraduate and K-12 levels – were suddenly forced to move online.Because of health-related concerns, most in-person K-12 summer outreach programs were alsocancelled. Creation Crates was developed to provide a remote alternative to the cancelledoutreach programs that would still allow students to encounter engineering concepts andstrengthen quantitative analytical skills. We believe the details of our program are worth sharingto provide new ideas for educators who are still teaching in an online setting or who are seekinglow-cost options for course content related to experimental measurements.Creation Crates is a virtual engineering

Specifically, I-Corps addresses thelack of knowledge academic researchers have about technology entrepreneurship giventhat few receive such training as part of their doctoral programs (Duval-Couetil, et al.,2020). As a result, more are likely to conform to conventional cultural norms inacademia which incentivize obtaining funding to support research and laboratories,rather than pursuing commercialization opportunities (Huyghe & Knockaert, 2015).Hayter et al. (2018), stated that “limited attention has been placed on the role of nationalprograms and policies and their critical role supporting academic entrepreneurship” (p.1059). Considering this, I-Corps offers a valuable context for examining the ability of aprogram to promote and grow involvement

Many pedagogical OSs have been developed to teach OS courses through hands-on labexercises. Several universities have developed lab assignments using them for OS design concepts.However, little efforts have been made towards the development of security-related labs in the OScourses. Although few independent projects have been found that will be discussed in the relatedworks section, they do not offer proper documentation or their implementation is quite naivecompared to production-level OS.
