-related behaviors.Recent literature suggests active learning strategies in sustainability education can help promotestudents’ sustainability behaviors. The term active learning has been used to describe a broadrange of student- or learner-centered instructional methods. For example, Felder and Brent [11]argued that active learning is “a teaching approach that encompasses anything students might becalled on to do in class besides watching and listening to an instructor and taking notes” (p. 111).While definitions of active learning vary, most scholars agree that active learning involvesstudents’ active engagement, continuous participation, action, and reflection [12-13].For decades, scholars have called for college educators to incorporate more
design and implementation course.Given the importance of security to Software Engineering, it is imperative that the programs continue toimprove teachings in this area. This review, while thorough in some regards, was also very limited inthat it only could look at catalog entries and curricula. In evaluating programs, evaluators review a morethorough self-study which may better reflect the teaching of security within the program. This may be apessimistic view of the situation, as the catalog entries may not be entirely current due to institutionalpolicies and individual instructors may include topics that are not explicitly called out in the catalog.What is concerning, however, is that these limitations do not appear to be present for other core

In justifying her answeron the instrument, Olivia responded, “Probably not perform calculations, that’s usually not myfirst jump to. I kind of like to physically demonstrate the system. I’m very tactile so I like to seehow something would work.” Olivia’s response reflects a level of self-awareness (recognitionthat she is tactile) as a factor that influences her problem-solving approaches.The other four participants with prior engineering experience similarly appeared influenced bytheir recent engineering experiences in their approach to the problems. Other research has shownthat students often use their lived experiences to approach problem solving [17]. All four

Assignments aredesigned to be student-driven, encouraging both individuals and mixed teams of undergraduatestudents from diverse majors to create images using their own techniques, and to document theirwork in written reports. The course also addresses philosophical questions such as "What makesan image scientific?" and "What makes an image art?" to encourage students to reflect on theintersection of science and art. The consensus was that an image of fluid flow can be consideredscientific if the conditions of the fluid flow and image production are known, while theinterpretation of whether an image is art is subjective.Despite the course's focus on science, images produced

We encouraged the students to reflect on their own ideas aboutintelligence and the importance of having a growth mindset while studying chemicalengineering.

nerve hairs. Both the outlasting fluideffects, and uneven stimulation could create an unsteady sense of balance in a person. Therefore,it can be concluded that the difference in the geometry of an individual's vestibule could lead todifferent responses to motion under the same motion input. This result might explain why someindividuals are more sensitive to motion than others.As aforementioned, the results were analyzed with air instead of endolymph fluid. For futurework, the model could be scaled to reflect the liquid’s properties like endolymph fluid to obtainmore accurate results. An experiment comparing varied vestibular system volumes andmovement sensations would help draw conclusions on fluid movement and experiences ofmotion

) resides in a region rich in diversity.Over all majors, UMD seeks a balance that is representative of the state’s populationbetween female and male students, as well as underrepresented minority andnon-minority students. However, this balance is not reflected in engineering majors,in which only 27% of students identify as women, and 16% of students are fromhistorically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. UMD is working to overcomethe disparity in our ability to attract underrepresented students from our localcommunities.

The closed-ended questions on stressors askedparticipants to reflect on their graduate education experience and indicate the extent to whicheach of the 21 stressors disrupted their ability to perform academically and/or professionally. Another question asked participants to rate their experience as a graduate student at theirinstitution. Response options for the 21 stressors and one satisfaction questions were arrayed ona five-point Likert scale from 0 (none) to 4 (severely), and a five-point Likert scale from 1 (Veryunsatisfied) to 5 (Very satisfied), respectively.

The nationaldiscussion on the shortage of engineers in the market started as early as 1959, with empiricalevidence of the need for more engineers and scientists to meet the demands of the growingcountry [3]. The conversation initially focused on increasing the workforce to compete withother countries [4]. Recently, the conversation shifted toward the need for skilled engineers whobring new ideas and perspectives to the profession.
