Accompanying these developments in the Technical College Sector was therise of an Association for Liberal Education that had its own research officer [9].It will not have escaped the notice of the reader that no mention is made of universitystudents in technological studies receiving such treatment. Why should a person on adegree course be treated differently? The concept of liberal education has a long historythat can be traced back to the Greeks, and Davies provides an all too brief history of thedevelopment of liberal education from those times [8.ch 1]. From the Greeks and theRomans we get the notions of being free to learn, and as Davies notes

furthest tocompletion, with electrical design being lowest and equal to plumbing. An unexpected result was how manytake their designs to a construction document (CD) level of completeness (Fig. 2b). This could be partiallydue to a team’s ability to go to that level of refinement, or perhaps certain key parts of a discipline’ssystem(s) are developed to that extent while other parts are not. For example, a team may design a singlestructural connection but not all of them in the building. To provide some literature context, most capstoneshave students target a level of completeness of their project somewhere between SD and DD [18-19]. a) covered within the capstone b) completeness of student work

behaviors.The foundation of the MBTI lies in four fundamental dimensions, each represented by a pair ofopposing traits: • Extraversion (E) – Introversion (I): This dimension focuses on where individuals direct their attention and energy. Extraverts gain their energy from external sources and thrive on social interaction, while introverts find solace in their inner world and prefer reflection. • Sensing (S) – Intuition (N): This aspect relates to how individuals process information. Sensing types rely on concrete details and present realities, while intuitive types prioritize abstract concepts and future possibilities. • Thinking (T) – Feeling (F): This dimension highlights decision-making styles.

The in-context examples for GPT-4 prompt are drawn fromthe training split of the manually-coded dataset. We finetuned the Mixtral of Experts (MoE) [30]model using input and target pairs derived from the manually-coded training datasets. Thistrained model was then prompted with new test inputs, and the model-generated coded sequencewas evaluated against the manually coded target sequence. We evaluated both models on a testset of around 140 samples for each thermodynamics question. Using manual and languagemodel-based coding, we aim to answer two research questions: 1.

participant is not actually swimming any particular stroke. Prior methods of conductingstudies would record some level of inactive data (e.g. participant walking to the pool), whichwould then have to be parsed and removed manually. We can also record flip turns with this app,which also allows us to avoid manually removing flip turns in order to preserve data integrity.This application was developed through prior work done with Powell [55].Data Processing And Feature ExtractionIn order to extract features and train a classifier using our accelerometer data, we first need toclean the data, extract features, and present it to our classifier(s) in a .csv file format, which is afile format that WEKA, a machine learning library, accepts as input for

Toaccount for this potential, we adapted and included five items across five different identity-axes(race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, (dis)ability, and socioeconomic status) from Bahnsonet al.’s (2022) work on discrimination in engineering graduate student experiences.Comfort and Team Inclusion (19 items)We believe feelings of discrimination and differences in belonging are also seen through students’comfort and inclusion on their team. As such, we included items based on these topics. Like othersabove, these scales

ConclusionThis paper presents preliminary work of the implementation of object detection on Raspberry Pi for asenior design project. We run a mobile deep learning model, SSD-MobileNet, on Raspberry Pi todetect various objects. Preliminary valudation results demonstrate the effectiveness of thisimplementation. Moreover, the on-going work is to improve weapon detection. Future work will focuson completing comprehensive and systematical validation on weapon detection in different testingscenarios.

A 3-feet-long integratedPZT strip of 18 thin-film PZT cells was placed in the middle of the EGP. The prototype of the EGPwas tested using an output load of 7.5 kΩ. A bicycle with a rider weighing a total of about 142pounds served as the mechanical pressure source for the test. The tested PZT cells produced anaverage of 68 VDC, and the energy of the DCPR was 616.53 mW/s for the rider riding the bike onthe EGP.

In somecases, steps three and four are skipped, and only one round of interviews is completed. The faculty hiring process is fraught with bias, including racial bias [1], gender bias inletters of recommendation [2], and search committee members seeking to hire people whoseresearch areas are most similar to their own [3]. Hiring people similar to oneself extends beyondresearch areas. Many search committees look for candidates who would be a good “fit”(generally, scientifically, programmatically) [4, 5]. However, “fit” is highly subjective and opento the evaluator’s personal biases

Moreover, the proposed holisticengineering design education prevailing over the restricted use of key technical macro-thematicfactors, allow for the design of equitable and inclusive solutions through the consideration of thediverse influences associated with the project. This is an especially critical feature given that keytechnical macro-thematic factors used for traditional engineering design may be developed basedon specific group(s) of our society. Therefore, not accounting for the uniqueness and diversity thatlocal-thematic may impose, and even demand, from the respective solution, e.g., Smart Gridprojects for a high- and low- income regions significantly differ on its design features
