To this end, we will track the students’ intellectual propertyapplications through record of invention filings, along with their career position after graduation(e.g. start-up formation, industry position, graduate or medical school, etc.) using a post-surveyquestionnaire. Lastly, through the Teaching and Learning Research Center, the researchers willperform a formative and summative evaluation of the components of the clinical immersionprogram to allow the instructors to refine the program’s learning modules and activities, such asthe optimization of

Before starting any similar project, it is a good idea to check whether someone hasalready done part or all of it, or whether the LMS is planning to implement a similar feature inthe near future.Overall, this project has proven valuable in saving faculty time on grading, course administrationprocesses, and facilitating career-advancing research projects. We have been pleased with ourresults and encourage others to seek or develop their own process improvements and synergies.We are also happy to share our tools upon request.6. References[1] V. J.

Social securitypayments are indexed for inflation annually, thus the comparison should be made with inflationadjusted annuities. A $100,000 annuity, with a 2% annual inflation adjustment, will initially paya male $471 per month or a female $432 per month. This assumes that the annuity is funded atage 62 and will begin payments at the same time as the social security full retirement age.

, construction has been booming throughout the USA. The construction industry is one of the nation'slargest industries and one of the largest sources of employment. Employment in construction is projected to grow 6percent from 2020 to 2030 [1]. At the same time, since projects are becoming more complex, attaining a bachelor'sdegree is an increasingly important requirement for obtaining access to high-demand, well-paying careers in theconstruction management industry [2]. The demand for construction education graduates has increased markedly inthe past several years. As a result of this demand, construction education programs flourish throughout the nation [3,4]. The search result of ASC Archives for all past articles on construction programs shows that

Model to Prepare Pre-Service Teachers to Teach Engineering in K-12 (Work in Progress)Background and Motivation:Providing K-12 students with the opportunity to engage in engineering practices is critical toincrease engineering literacy, diversify the engineering workforce, and provide the skills andencouragement necessary for students to pursue careers in engineering [1]. The need to includeengineering in the K-12 classroom is also heavily emphasized in the Next Generation ScienceStandards, as well as the standards of many states [2]. Many schools are attempting to meet thesegoals both by incorporating engineering into the existing mathematics and science curriculumand developing standalone engineering courses, which were offered by 46% of high

Computer Science and EngineeringThis proved to be a learning experience, not only for students but also for faculty and industrypartners. Every discipline of engineering uses its unique jargon. When various disciplines cametogether to work on a project, they exchanged ideas, new viewpoints were generated, and theylearned from each other. When students saw licensed professionals successfully working in theindustry, it opened doors for them to connect with them and learn from their career paths.The school of engineering plans to expand this course further as a result of this successful pilotoffering. More faculty members will be involved, and more students will be invited to register forthis inter-disciplinary capstone senior design project course

takemore of an engineering approach to electric circuit analysis. The students are not only able toanalyze electric circuits but they are able to explore electric circuit elements behavior withMATLAB and virtual simulators. Students are able to verify their hand calculations by usingthese tools and exploring results that did not meet their expectations. This approach helps thestudents develop problem solving and critical thinking skills, and prepares them for anengineering career. The virtual labs and simulation tool environments are meant to assist andenhance the student learning experience and not to replace hands-on laboratory experience. Theycan also be helpful in situations where on campus laboratories are not available.AcknowledgmentThe

This uncertainty shows the importance ofconducting research in order to benefit from industry professionals’ opinions and feedback aboutCOVID-19 impacts on construction and how it changed the future of the industry. It also providesus with an insight to be better prepared for similar unprecedented challenges in the future.Imbedding these changes in construction management and engineering program curriculum inacademia will better prepare the young professionals to achieve their career goals.A survey was conducted to collect professionals’ opinions about the COVID-19 pandemic effectson construction. The survey objectives were to measure how construction industry has beenaffected by the pandemic, and to
academic and career paths. Teaching introductory programming languagescan be a challenging task especially if students are from many different engineering disciplines[1]. Only a few students find learning programming easy and indeed it is hard for instructors toteach fundamental programming languages [2]. Students at times may not become excited aboutprogramming languages [2]. From the teaching team’s perspective, instructors focus more onteaching programming language instead of teaching the application of the programming [3].Students may not find programming courses intuitive, related to real life, or hard to engage withthe course material.During the pandemic period, the traditional face-to-face communication between students wasdisrupted
