Early in the semester,students receive instruction about the greenhouse effect, a concept that is later used in thediscussion of human-led climate change and engineering technologies that could help alleviatesome of climate change’s impacts. Soon after students discuss climate change, they receiveinstruction on heat transfer and thermodynamics, concepts that are utilized in heat exchangesystems for electricity generation (non-renewable and renewable energy sources design). Theaim of this paper is to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze students responses to Keeley’sAPs to answer two questions: 1) What is the percentage of students that have

Current matriculating streams ofcollege students are incredibly talented and will lead the way in transforming companies andutilizing the best technology to perform required technical work at hand. However, they needmore consistent mentoring, supportive teamwork environments, and a transparent flow ofcompany information. Millennials will look for company-supported

However, asmentioned before, the current education curricula seldom expose students to collaborativeexperiences.These integrated solutions will improve critical infrastructure such as the electrical and watersystems. For example, the impact of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico’s electrical infrastructureled to a slow and painful rebuilding process of the power system that has not finished. Thissluggish process has had many problems as in the case of the numerous power outages due to theunstable energy generation and supply system. More contemporary approaches tointerdisciplinary solutions and power generation and distribution (i.e. distributed generation

Communicating by using technology, such as webpages, help files, or social media sites and 3.) Providing instructions about how to do something,regardless of how technical the task

The medical application of nanotechnology for diagnosis andtreatment of diseases is referred to as nanomedicine and is a cornerstone of biomedicalnanotechnology. This technology has the potential to transform healthcare and clinical outcomes.Due to the impact and potential of nanotechnology on research and society, students inbiomedical engineering benefit from training in basic nanotechnology concepts.There are several examples of nanoparticle labs for undergraduate students in the literature, butthese are typically designed for chemistry students rather than focused on biomedicalapplications [1]–[5].
