, Participation. Professional Learning1. IntroductionThis research paper provides findings from implementing the Professional Development or PDmodel of the NSF-awarded project “Let’s Talk Code”. The goal of these PD workshops was toincrease teacher’s confidence and capability in integrating culturally relevant computing andcoding experiences within their curriculum and instruction. Here, we set our focus on the impactof the PD. Through the PD, teachers were engaged in computing and coding professionaldevelopment via Code.org. The teachers were then asked to apply what they learned aboutcoding by developing and implementing culturally relevant computing and coding experiencesfor their students. Here, we share early findings from three of the teacher

ABET document “Criteria for Accrediting EngineeringPrograms.” [8] The document details the necessary criteria that ABET utilizes to assessinstitutions for accreditation purposes, and it is organized under eight individual criteria. Whileall of the criteria are relevant to the development of the organization and practices of an ABETaccredited engineering program, several of the ABET criteria particularly impact the content andorganization of the curriculum for undergraduate engineering programs, including Criterion 3,Student Outcomes, and Criterion 5, Curriculum.The current set of Student Outcomes went into effect in the 2019-2020 academic year, and theycontinue to utilize the concepts of change within the profession and outcome-based

At the University of Nebraska- Lincoln (UNL), the implementation of a new“design spine” curriculum embeds Python programming in the second semester sophomore class titledCIVE 202: Civil Engineering Analysis II. The design spine was created to integrate students into major-specific courses every semester within a four-year program, encourage relationship building amongststudents and to teach industry-level skills identified by the department’s advisory board and futureemployers that are becoming critical for young engineers entering the workforce.

A carbonfootprint study was undertaken to enable a data-driven laboratory experiment design to reduce carbonfootprint by selecting an efficient feedstock for the fermentation process. In the undergraduate laboratory curriculum, refined sugar is the most common feedstock used inbioethanol production. In this study, the student team also investigated another alternative feedstock of cornsyrup based on the bioethanol conversion/yield4,5. Studies have shown that the amount of CO2 generatedfrom the chemical processes is directly proportional to the conversion rate 3. Since corn syrup contains morecomplex sugar, the lag phase is

It involves students optimizing and 3D printing truss member dimensions, replacingthem in the model, and evaluating performance.
