In line with that, in 2009 the National Academy of Engineering (NAE 2009)released a document emphasizing three critical areas for pre-college engineering education:teaching engineering design, incorporating effective methods such as “computational methods”for developing different content knowledge skills, and promoting engineering habits of mind.Therefore, developing computational thinking is helpful in learning and strengthening pre-college engineering.Additionally, due to the growth of engineering-related careers, many current K-12 students willend up working in fields that involve computing

Thisinitiative will also support undergraduate research in IoT, thus affording students an opportunityto gain a deeper understanding of the subject, in a real-world context. The proposed curriculumframework would support learning outcomes that transcend a basic understanding of concepts,and aim towards the application of acquired skills in designing, building and deploying IoTdevices for a variety of applications.

This lead to the premise that exposing students to basic constructsof programming across multiple programming languages could lead to an increase in their abilities andconfidence to engage in complex problem solving contexts involving computational modeling. Thispremise lead to identifying two to three programming languages to develop students’ programming skillsinvolving interesting engineering contexts to support learning and interest in engineering as a career.

The reasoning behind this addition was to encourage students to look more deeply at someclass, field, or hobby they were interested in, and explore the connections between that topic andspatial thinking. The students then report their findings to their classmates in the form of a finalteam project presentation. Less formally, the hope was that students who had this deeperunderstanding of the benefits of spatial skills instruction would then become ambassadors toother students, encouraging them to take the class to better prepare them for

These responses illustrate asover damped, under damped, undamped, and critically damped.

This water or moist content concept should be emphasizedthroughout the soil mechanics courses and even throughout a geotechnical engineer’s career aswell. Water content, w, is important because Atterberg limits like Liquid limit (LL) plastic limit(PL) are all fundamentally water content. And without emphasizing this fact, it is easy to forgetthis fundamental idea and concept. In this regard, the author recommends that LL and PL bewritten as and as in several classical soil mechanics textbooks. Putting the w, watercontent before LL and PL will help reminding
