hour long standardlength recorded lectures a week. The instructors of courses observed which topics the studentswere struggling with and developed micro-lectures to cover those topics.Literature ReviewThe idea of micro-learning and presenting the content in micro-units was first introduced in 1980as “micro-teaching” (Hug, T., 2005). Research conducted by (Shail, M. S., 2019) indicates thatmicro-learning prevents learners from being overloaded with information and can improve theirretention capacity. Due to the limitation of the working memory of learners, micro-learningrequires minimal effort from individuals to master the content, and it provides dense and yetfocused topics in fun and engaging fashion (Jomah, et al, 2016).

Due to rising concerns, a team of facultyand staff formed together in the summer of 2023 to identify the problem(s) and work towardplausible solutions that could improve overall culture in the department. This team dedicatedthemselves to the “Engineering a Culture Overall” (ECO) initiative, which is an effort focusedon improving the culture in the department by focusing on accessibility, diversity, equity, andinclusion (ADEI). In the Fall of 2023, undergraduate students joined the ECO team with theintention of amplifying the student voice to help enact change that would benefit the

For data mining to occur, theapplication necessitates access to the Canvas LMS. This means that the user would have to inputa bearer access token, and URL course specific values to the source code.

Christensen described growing need forboth “top quality engineering scientists” and “engineering statesmen,” arguing that the lattershould be “trained to have the breadth of social knowledge and technical excellence to transferAmerican know-how in civil engineering to underdeveloped countries.”8 Christensen clearlytook the position that some of this know-how should be developed at the undergraduate level,adding that “[t]he 20 per cent of humanistic activities so widely accepted is only a start towardwhat is needed.” S. S. Steinberg, Dean of Engineering at the University of Maryland, took asimilar position.

It is based on theories developed in finance and engineering economy that are similar tothe “discounted cashflow” method of stock evaluation (Rahgozar, 2008, Becchetti et all, 2004,Rawley et al 2006). When at Unocal, my colleagues and I in the strategic planning departmentbuilt a model to forecast the stock price of Unocal during the take over fight with T. BoonePickens (McCoy, 1985). We used the model to predict the change in the stock price asinformation was relayed to the investment community. It was very accurate and was extremelyhelpful in the take over defense.The point of this project, as it was in the case of Unocal’s stock price model, is not to develop amodel

It is widely accepted that the United States’leadership position in the world relies largely on its scientific and technical expertise. In thistechnological era, as the demand for the workforce in the STEM fields continues to grow, moreinvestments must be made in STEM education to prepare enough scientists and engineers whowill create the innovations vital for the success of the U.S. economy. However, the currentoutput from the U. S. educational system is struggling to meet this exponentially increasingdemand for scientists and engineers25.
