We have developed two systems toenable students to add capabilities to the Sea Perch as well as to enhance its utility as an oceanengineering and STEM teaching platform.As it is the Sea Perch is an excellent tool for teaching basic hydrostatics in a quantitative way.The displacement of the vehicle, its overall weight, and the distribution of weights can bemeasured and the centers of gravity and buoyancy can be calculated.

The first module includes 5 labs, inwhich the students amplify the gene for a colorful chromoprotein with PCR (Lab 1), clone thatgene into an expression plasmid (Lab 2), transform the new plasmid into E. coli (Lab 3), thenextract (Lab 4) and sequence (Lab 5) the plasmid.Module 2: Bacterial Fermentation – Expression of Chromoproteins

Whilea general linear programming approach enumerates the reduced costs of thecolumns which measure the contribution of the columns toward the optimalsolution, the column generation approach keeps and updates only a small setof columns, which we call a basis, without enumerating the columns.

The goal of the workshops was to provide students with training in areas besides juststandard research. To accomplish this, we developed seminars focused on laboratory safety, howto use the library, research ethics, effective communicating, how to apply to graduate school, howto apply for graduate fellowships, and a panel discussion led by current graduate students in thechemical engineering department at LSU. Each of the seminars lasted ~60 minutes and was led byvolunteers from

The course is based on research and materials created with the support of NSF fundingthat were successfully used in face-to-face instruction in four-year universities.SKIITS focuses on three research questions:1. Can effective materials developed through earlier NSF funding to improve spatial skills be transformed into an effective set of online resources?2. Does providing spatial skills training improve the retention of low-spatial-ability students, including women in technician programs?3

In the 1920s, Frank Aydelotte Project which was founded at Swarthmore College byFrank Aydelotte - the founder of Honors Education in the United States, was considered thefirst blueprint for modern honors education in American colleges and universities [3].Influenced by it, many other U.S. colleges and universities began to set up honors projects.Honors education in China was originated in the 1970s.

IntroductionStudents from low-income backgrounds are underrepresented in engineering programs, and thosewho do enter engineering are more likely to struggle academically [1].

licensure as a result of construction andinfrastructure failures in the late 1800s and early 1900s. These catastrophes and a need to restrictsurveying and engineering work to those trained in these areas (not lawyers, prospectors, etc.) ledCalifornia to pass surveyor requirements in 1891, and Wyoming to adopt an engineering statute in1907. The remaining United States adopted similar statutes over the next 40 years [1]-[3]. In the1950s and 1960s the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES),working with state boards, developed national exams. While it took until 1984 for all state boardsof examiners to use uniform Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Principles and Practice ofEngineering (PE) exams, the need and motivation
