Our courses have theadditional challenge of fitting into a One Course at a Time block plan where students enroll inone course for 18 days of instruction. Due to the amount of content, we need to cover and thelimited time for a design cycle, we utilize a term project that touches on each of the studentoutcomes and requires them to use 3D printing in the design and is bio-inspired. Through thispaper, we will describe the course design, how we utilize bio-inspired design with projects, andour assessment procedures.Course DesignOur courses are designed on a One Course at A Time (OCAT) basis, where students take onecourse for 18 instructional days where each

We did not include GTAs whoseprimary duties were grading and holding office hours but who were not in the classroom withstudents. These one-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted roughly one semesterinto participants’ GTA experience. These interviews explore the techniques GTA’s use in theclassroom, their view of their role in the classroom and how it reflects their thinking aboutteaching, their own experiences as a student, and their experience participating in teachingrelated PD. We plan to interview the GTAs again after the completion of their first year to studyhow their teaching identity continues to evolve.In this paper, we report

The Agency for Learning Questionnaire (AFLQ) tool looks atthe behavior of individuals as it applies to functionalities such as intentionality, forethought,self-regulation, and self-efficacy [16]. The AFLQ was modified to suit the context of this study.The original tool contains about forty-two questions on the long form and twenty-eightquestions on the short form. In order not to overburden the students, one question from each ofthe six functionalities under agency was used in the surveys. Thus, questions fromintentionality-planned competence, intentionality-decision competence, forethought-intrinsicmotivation, forethought–intrinsic motivation, self

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

The younger professionals, having recently transitioned from beingstudents in the same lab, became approachable mentors.Harnessing the presence of field experts on campus provided an excellent opportunity tocultivate more personalized interactions for the students. Once the groundwork was laid forinviting the engineers, a distinctive approach was adopted by allowing students to volunteer ashosts for our esteemed guests. This empowered students to take charge of planning logistics andestablishing email communications with the industry professionals.

Their prior and ongoing inquiriespredominantly revolved around camp evaluations, the perspectives, and experiences ofparticipants (including mentors, students, and volunteers), the requirements of sponsors, and theformulation of strategic plans for subsequent camps. National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) created the Summer Engineering Experiencefor Kids (SEEK) program in 2007 with one site in Washington, D.C., to inspire Black studentsthrough the many diverse opportunities and wonders of STEM fields.

Both onshore andoffshore fields are considered, focusing on regional carbonate fields that are known to be themost challenging ones in the industry. As a result, students get the chance to practice all theyhave learned during their studies in the PETE program to complete a one-year-long and detailedenough field development project. Teams of three-to-four students work together in eachcapstone design project. In this project, multiple instructors and industry professionals areinvolved, but they only work as mentors, and the students are the ones who lead all the projectwork. The development plan includes reservoir modeling, performance analysis, simulation,production, drilling, economic

At the macro level, the establishment of this program isguided and driven by national policy. In recent years, the Chinese government has attachedgreat importance to the cultivation of AI talents. In 2017, the Chinese State Council releasedthe New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan of China, which made anoverall plan for the development of AI in China, with AI talents as the top priority. In 2018,the Chinese Ministry of Education issued the Action Plan for Artificial IntelligenceInnovation in Higher Education Institutions, proposing that universities should improve theirAI talent cultivation system.

Social justice was also made a center point for the 2021Biden Infrastructure plan, which promised “40% of the benefits of climate and cleaninfrastructure investments to disadvantaged communities” [11]. These initiatives further the pushfor engineers to consider how engineering projects can serve both the technical requirementsthey are designed for and the communities they are built in.Understanding the social aspects has traditionally come with professional experience; however,giving engineering students an understanding of the social elements during their time in schoolcan encourage early development and implementation of this understanding [9]. Unfortunately,studies suggest that, as students progress through a

Each of these materials featured avideo introducing our team and offering an overview of the program. As this study took placeduring the pandemic, we did not target our recruitment to any one social group. Subsequently,for families that expressed interest, we held Zoom meetings with each family to discuss logisticalaspects and acquire both adult consent and child assent.Between January 2020 and April 2020, families actively engaged in completing 4-6 engineeringkits designed by the researcher team within their home settings. These kits were structured tolead families through an engineering design process - research, plan/design, create
wrong? Was it something related to the equipment? Was a step of the protocol missed?Were our tools and techniques not sufficiently accurate? Were conditions different than in thecited literature study?) Some errors can be quite subtle, while others are very well-known. Thestudents can also be asked for suggestions on how to improve the experiment or minimize theidentified errors.Another way to combat “bad” data is to have backup or example data sets available for studentsto use for reports. These data can be acquired while TAs are preparing for the lab, or they can begenerated from previous semesters if available. While it does not have to be perfect, the exampledata set will hopefully be more representative of the planned experiment’s expected
system. Follow-on materialstesting will be conducted for both additional nozzle sections and planar impingement specimensfabricated using various composite fabrication techniques. Future work will again employ several recentgraduates and undergraduate research assistants to plan and implement the experimental upgrades.2.0 PROJECT EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:Many of the students at Weber State University (WSU) have full or part-time jobs off campus to helpsupport themselves during their educational efforts. The majority of these jobs have little or noassociation with their field of study, and are simply a means to generate revenue during the students’university tenure.
