Contrastingly, we took the approach thatit is critical for scientists to be thoughtful and intentional throughout the developing and planningprocess with all the stakeholders. Outreach training focused on the mindfulness awarenessproject goals, the cultivation of community partnerships, and engagement of a non-technicalaudience in a science or engineering topic. After several initial informal education workshops,the students were given the opportunity to tailor their outreach projects to align best with theirpersonal interests, given the following broad topics: 1) Deliver a talk to high school studentsabout their undergraduate experience as a science or engineering major, 2) Write a draft
Improving our approach towards teaching a content intensive subject in higher education - An on-line variantAbstract: The authors carried out a study and published the results on teaching a largely contentintensive course in an engineering school, where it is often a challenge to achieve studentlearning and retention of the course material. Methodologies involved encouraging studentnotetaking, a study guide sheet to follow along with the PowerPoint, homework built to serve asa study aid, weekly quiz, and a comprehensive final exam, as well as a research paper. Anadditional challenge in last year’s course was added when the course went on-line in the middleof the semester. To accommodate this on

Since virtual technologies enable us to see a subjectmatter with our own eyes, it is a much more intuitive approach than imagining the subject matterin our minds. Therefore, the virtual technologies are useful visualization tool in learning thecomplex and conceptual problem that requires spatial understanding [13]. Due to theoverwhelming advantages of virtual technologies, the use of such technologies during theCOVID-19 pandemic and beyond is a must. However, how we can incorporate virtualtechnology into our teaching depends on how and what each instructor wants to capitalize on thepotential of virtual technologies [14]. Therefore, the research question to which we would like tocontribute is as follows

Moreover,even though the cooperation between UMassD and SBU teams was executed entirely throughremote means of communication, we managed to keep the momentum through that months-longproject. Our lessons learned from virtual collaboration will be indispensable in our future jobs. Through collaboration with St. Bonaventure University, UMassD engineering studentslearned a lot about business aspects of any technological venture. This collaboration helped us tounderstand: (1) the role of stakeholders in establishing a company in the emerging blue economysector

—Engineering education, ABET, accreditation.The challenge of ABET accreditation is one that no engineering program can take lightly. Itinvolves the collection of direct measures from every course in a program and from a variety ofother sources to document and provide evidence to support the claim that course and programobjectives are being met. The data stream feeding into this process comes from multiple sources,in multiple formats and must somehow be managed and made sense of. Ultimately it must becondensed down into meaningful summaries of objectives, outcomes and performance criteriasatisfaction at both the course and program level. The stream of data does not end with program accreditation either. Accreditation involvesongoing monitoring of
