Students who are under-prepared in math and do nothave necessary prerequisites for the first semester of 8-semester engineering degree plans areenrolled in Fundamentals of Success in Engineering Study [1]. We also have a small group ofstudents (~10%) who are well ahead of the requirements and are offered to take a special sectionof Honors Introduction to Engineering I course along with the optional Honors ResearchExperience and Honors Innovation Experience courses [2].

A couple of important features on the NRClist are 1) the importance and role of theory and 2) the line of reasoning. Together, they provideexcellent guidance for planning, conducting, and reporting engineering education research.The overriding question facing the AREE developers and researchers (Norman Fortenberry, KarlSmith, Alisha Waller, Ann McKenna, Susan Donohue, Beth Cady, and Wendy Knapp) was,what can be done to help build the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind to conduct high-qualityengineering education research?AREE’s mission was to provide access to resources and to engage the engineering educationresearch community in a consensus-seeking conversation

Allstudents were ME majors and nine were juniors. Students met weekly with the sponsoring facultyto receive feedback on their progress and guidance about the next steps. They also presented theirproject to an external ME faculty at mid-semester and presented their results verbally at the end ofthe semester. We started the semester by asking students to survey current soft robotics literature,identifying types of actuation principles used to control soft robots, actions the robots perform,and the targeted

Without an increase in the upcoming generation’s motivation topursue careers in the microelectronics workforce, the plan to continue expanding ourinvolvement in this industry will suffer.We propose that embedding engaging microelectronics content into existing middle and highschool curriculum will increase student awareness of and interest in the field.

In recent years, several ports in the USA have adopted strategic plans toreduce emissions by installing electric outlets for hoteling vessels, starting from cruise lines andmoving to cargo vessels [1]. It is estimated about 25% of cruise ships’ emissions in Puget Soundcan be eliminated with shore power. However, the pier and the vessel must have shore powertechnologies to benefit from this initiative. The load can be somewhat predictable due to thepredetermined arrival and departure times of cruses and cargo vessels. The electrical energy forthe shore power comes from regional
