research exists on its influence on classroom practices in first-yearengineering courses. The central question driving this research is: How does instructors'pedagogical knowledge influence their pedagogical practices for first-year engineering courses?For this study, we chose the model of teacher professional knowledge and skill (TPK&S), whichincludes pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). A descriptive case study was utilized as amethodology for this work to delve into the phenomenon. The context of the study was a first-year introductory engineering course offered at a large public research institution. This is a pilotstudy for an NSF-funded project “Advancing Student-Centered Teaching for DisciplinaryKnowledge Building in Engineering

Using the Big Fivepersonality assessment model, [7] discovered that project managers that had the openness toexperience and conscientiousness traits possess the inborn abilities to be good leaders, do not onlydemonstrate concern for projects but would take corresponding actions to ensure project goals areachieved.

All deadlines, even in Spring 21, were before Final Exams.Description of SurveyOur study participants (second, third-, and fourth-year students who had taken at least one APMA course)completed a ~50-question online survey [1] early in Spring 22 semester about their experiences in APMAcourse(s) from Spring 20 to Spring 21 semesters. Survey questions were related to demographic data,motivation, technological tools/ applications used, office hours, help sessions, quizzes/tests in an onlinesetting, grading options, and questions comparing APMA courses with major-related core courses.Analysis Methods, Results, and

, concerns related to security continue to grow.Since the early 2000’s, the number of cyberattacks against deployed software systems has significantlygrown. In 2014, recognizing this concern, a modification to the ABET EAC program accreditation criteriafor software engineering was made, explicitly requiring topical coverage of security for accreditedprograms. Since taking effect in 2016, all programs in software engineering have been required todemonstrate appropriate coverage of the topic as part of the accreditation process. While the criteriarequires that the topic of security be covered, the implementation has been left open to individualprograms.This article serves two purposes. First and foremost, it provides an updated status on the
Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standard. Recentwork [1] developed accessibility standards for textually describing images, figures, graphs,animations, and other visual elements for a series of interactive web native mechanicalengineering textbooks [22]-[23]. These new standards include: (i) alt text that balances precisionwith conciseness; (ii) structuring alt text to initially capture key information, then incrementallyadding in finer details; (iii) well-defined procedures for describing specific, yet common visualelements (e.g., phase diagrams, phase transformation plots, T-s and p-v diagrams, andtime-response plots); and (iv) alt text for animated visual elements that fully describe all dynamicprocesses and intermediate movements.

Deliverables must include a quantitative diagram (sometimesdiscussed in class as an “engineering diagram”) of the design and a model with varyingparameters which shows the relationship between the components of the design.
