Variouslevels of the system are employed to learn from the sensor data and further to carry out apredefined set of objectives such as classification or clustering of the data.In this paper, we describe the development of an online learning environment that supportsmodules and laboratories for training undergraduate students in multiple disciplines in sensorsand machine learning.

The research questions that drive this projectare: • How do engineers view aspects of workplace culture affecting the extent to which they can authentically be themselves? • How do engineers describe the manifestation of racist ideas in their workplace cultures?We recently started this project and are in the process of refining our data collection proceduresand protocols, thus, we do not yet have data.

essential skill for a successful engineer. ABET’s new StudentOutcome 3 [1] requires that students graduating from an accredited program must demonstrate“an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.” An engineer’s ability tocommunicate is often cited as one of the most important skills that employers are seeking andhas been shown to be the top skill that government agencies perceive as important [2]. Numerousstudies, however, have revealed gaps between employer expectations and new engineeringgraduates’ abilities [3]. To address this gap, a research project was undertaken to develop andimplement writing-focused modules in engineering labs.An important part of this research is to investigate how engineering students’ prior

The overall objective of this project is to determine the impact of teaching function onengineering students’ design synthesis abilities. Two studies are being performed as a part ofthis project: (1) a longitudinal study following students through their sophomore, junior, andsenior year following some being taught functional modeling, while others not, and (2) a yearlystudy looking at capstone project quality of students from
