employed to facilitate teaching and learning. The Truth and ReconciliationCommission (TRC) of Canada is calling on individuals, groups, and organizations toacknowledge the hardships and challenges of Indigenous populations on this land in the past andpresent [1]. As a way of making amends, two streams of work have been done. First, attemptshave been made to acknowledge both the gloomy, that is the discrimination and hardships theIndigenous people experience(d), as well as the rich history of Indigenous persons in thecurriculum. Second, there are conversations and efforts to integrate Indigenous ways of knowingand practices into the curriculum, which has coined the term “Indigenizing the Curriculum”. Thepurpose of this paper is to take a closer

protocol where charging speed is balanced with lifespan preservation. The CC-CVcharging protocol uses the battery’s voltage level as an indicator to apply a constant current forbulk charging or constant voltage for low current trickle charging. Finally, temperaturemanagement such as pack cooling and heating would keep the battery pack in ideal temperatureconditions to promote cyclic lifespan. Figure 1: Initial Diagram Brainstorming [1] From the beginning of this project, our group was extremely ambitious. We wanted toexplore the lengths we could take this idea.

crucial indicator of institutional quality [1]. Over the past twodecades, time-to-degree for United States (U.S.) bachelor’s degree recipients has noticeablyincreased, resulting in higher education institutions becoming particularly concerned aboutcompletion or graduation rates [2]. Traditionally, the bachelor’s degree is a four-year degree.However, more than 50 percent of bachelor’s students fail to complete their degree on time, thusbecoming extender students. This term refers to students who take longer than four years tocomplete a bachelor’s degree [3], [4]. Given that most undergraduate Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) students take longer to graduate, the four-year degree hastransformed into a six-year degree, raising

Researchers and Academic EntrepreneursGalati et al. (2020) proposed several different theoretical approaches for exploring thesensemaking processes of academic researchers engaged in commercialization activity includingself-determination theory and social identity theory. These are based on the identity perspective(Gruber & MacMillan, 2017), which assesses entrepreneurial behavior in a way that is differentfrom “views embedded in economic rationality” (Gilati, p. 1480). The identity perspectiveclaims two things: 1) that individuals behave in ways that they consider appropriate forthemselves in a specific context, and 2) that human beings have a fundamental need for self-definition and for finding their own place in society (Gilati).

Forexample, as of 2022 only 5% of refugee students attended college compared to a 41% globalaverage.

How do faculty members perceive the importance of the GRE for admission to MS Thesis and Doctoral programs? 2. How do faculty members' perceptions of the GRE differ across faculty groups (Tenure, discipline, race, ethnicity, gender)?The GRE aims to measure an individual's verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analyticalwriting abilities and comprises three sections offered in computer-based centers all year round

Most community colleges are open-accessinstitutions, with students coming from all different walks of life to enroll in these schools [1].These include students directly out of high-school, or those that are returning to school for asecond career. When looking that the demographics of community colleges, we find that theyserve a disproportionate number of students who are marginalized [2].

These factsconfirm that 98% of U.S military engagements are for operations other than war.
