forcoding human nonverbal behaviors [22]. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Fig. 1. Coding system for Body Positions.HPE is composed of two elemental procedures: (a) human body joint/keypoint localization and(b) grouping those keypoints into a valid human pose configuration [23]. The initial step is tofind location keypoints of a human being(s) displayed in the image or video (e.g., head, shoulder,arm, hand, knee, etc.). The secondary step is to assemble or group the location keypoints into avalid human pose configuration. Thus, pose estimation obtains a 2D or 3D pose of an articulatedhuman body, which consists of body keypoints using image-based observations [24]. The

While the field ofengineering is diversifying, in the United States, nearly three-quarters of engineering positionsare still held by men, two-thirds of whom identify as white [12]. Until there is greaterrepresentation in the sciences and engineering fields, new pedagogical approaches are required toensure that engineering designs are inclusive and appropriate for the sociocultural contexts intowhich they are implemented.Many institutions develop DEI education as a separate, focused course to assist engineers inunderstanding place-based context.

Upon completionof the module, students completed a case study and were required to analyze the intent andimpact of the conversation between the two characters in the case and propose strategies toovercome the situation. The goal of this module was to help students develop knowledge ofverbal and non-verbal communication styles, worldview, openness, and curiosity. Moreover, thePIM on tricky communication [19] was prefaced with a TedTalk presented by Julien S. Bourrelleabout learning new cultures and what that could entail. An additional reading on the differencesbetween the intent and impact of communication was also supplied. The goal of the TedTalk andreading was to foster worldview, openness
token economy can guide and motivatechemical engineering students in a fluid dynamics course to revisit concepts during the semestervia revisions to previous assignment attempts. Under the token economy, students acquiredtokens as they fulfilled expected class engagement standards and exchanged tokens to purchaseresubmission opportunities on homework or quizzes, which rewarded back a portion of missedpoints to their assignment grade. It is also through these resubmission opportunities that studentsexercised goal-directed practices of identifying the original error(s) and explaining how theadded revision resolved their error(s).

wind turbinethe generated power to the wind speed, ananemometer is used for measurement of wind speed. Wind power at each fan velocity isapproximated using equation 1. 1 (1) P = ρa Av 3 2Where, “P” is power (watts), “ρa ” is air density (kg/m3), “A” is the air flow area (m2), and “v” isair velocity measured by the anemometer (m/s).The calculated wind power is then compared against the power generated by the turbine at differentfan speeds and blade designs and the efficiency of power conversion is calculated for eachcombination, which helps in selection of the best design.SOLAR ENERGY UTILIZATIONFor solar energy utilization, student teams are to build

setup, a Singatone H150 Probe Station was used, as shown in Fig. 1.1 Themicropositioner was placed on the steel plate around the stage. It was used to position the probeto make connections and to measure properties of DUT. A Singatone S-725 micropositioner wasautomated in this setup. An unmodified micropositioner is shown in Fig. 2.2 There were three basic controls on the micropositioner to control the position of the probein three dimensions as highlighted with arrowed lines in Figure 2. The first control, X, was forthe lateral position of the probe tips. This was a linear control which moved the tip directlyproportional to the amount of turns of the knob attached to it. The other two controls for theposition, Y and Z, were not linear
