A second laboratory involves ateam competition using radio controlled race cars with suspensions that are fully adjustable inwheel camber, caster, toe, and with spring and shock absorber adjustment. Teams of studentscompete against each other for best lap times with the cars operating on a tether. Duringpractice sessions the teams determine the suspension setup they wish to use in competition. Aload cell connected to the cars through the tether permit measurement of restraint forces throughthe tether to assist in determining an acceptable suspension setup.A second course initiated is Automotive Vehicle Dynamics, a three-hour technical electivecourse offered to advanced

Given the historical and persistent underrepresentation of minority groups in theengineering workforce, our work presents a timely effort to understand better and include thecareer attitudes of the emerging engineering workforce. We investigate how the concept of anengineering career is shaped for minority engineering students from a Hispanic-servinginstitution to further understanding on how career opportunities in government-funded labs areperceived by a group of Black and Latinx engineering student researchers experiencing the jobsearch and post-graduation planning process. For context, our study is a smaller portion of thePRE-CCAP (Partnership for Research and Education Consortium in Ceramics and Polymers)project. The consortium consists of

Inshort, engineering education should strive to produce specialists, and should therefore derive itscentral, if by no means it’s only, content from the program for graduate students. This may becalled the scholastic conception of engineering education.On the other hand, there is the view that engineering education should be devoted to broadeningand deepening the lives of its students.

other educators who are interested in adopting CPBL-beyond-Classroom to redesign their courses based on the learning needs of their own students. A. IntroductionThe ability to solve real-world problems and design systems or components under realisticconstraints are essential to engineering and computer science graduates, as both mandated byABET and highly valued in professional practice. To help students develop such valuable skills,project-based learning (PBL) has been considered as a useful pedagogy by many engineering/CSeducators. However, it is also recognized that PBL may not always function if not designed andintegrated in the curriculum appropriately [1-4]. This challenge magnifies at commuter campuseswhere students having difficulty

Nowadays, agile practices are incorporated intoseveral project methodologies widely adopted by professional organizations developing technologyproducts. In this paper, we explore the perception of agile’s effectiveness among a diverse group ofprofessionals with experience using these methodologies.To gauge attitudes toward agile, professionals in software development, project and productmanagement, and leadership roles were interviewed.
