Exercise DescriptionThe robotic platforms were used in an operating systems and systems programming course at PennState Behrend as a part of a lab exercise to demonstrate concepts related to task design, timing,synchronization, and mutual exclusion mechanisms. The exercise was divided into sections:Introduction to the robotic platform operation, task design using timing and synchronizationmechanisms, and feedback and reflection on the lesson learned.The tudentts were first introduced to the basic operation of the robotic arm using manual controland Application Programming Interfaces (API) control through a Python control program. Thechallenges of moving the arm in space using different coordinates and keeping track of the arm’sposition were

on this positive interest from students, a committee of faculty who taught in math andsciences was convened to develop the program. Because of the institution’s historical strengths inthe sciences, the committee recommended that the institution offer a B. S. in EngineeringScience, which was subject to the same ABET criteria as B.S. programs in Engineering andEngineering Physics.[7] It was also believed that the program named Engineering Sciencewould be better accepted at a liberal arts institution where a degree such as engineering might beviewed by some as a strictly vocational major. The intent of the degree to equip students with abroad and general engineering background also reflected key principles of the liberal artsapproach.The

frustrated when it happened.Discussion This study investigated how students perceive generative AI (GAI) for designing mood boards ina computer-aided design (CAD) course regarding design creativity. Specifically, we introduced a workshopand a homework assignment that incorporated the GAI tool Midjourney into the students' final CADprojects, aiming to teach 20 students how to use GAI in conceptual design. Through surveys and interviews,we examined students' creativity in the mood board design process and the final products, comparing themto those created without GAI. Our findings revealed that most students (17 out of 20) believed GAI boostedtheir creativity, although expert evaluations of their works did not reflect this. Additionally, we

in Spring 2023Overall, compared to previous years [18],[19] the gender and racial diversity of the eligibleapplicants and ACCESS scholars decreased despite the wide range of outreach efforts, some ofwhich specifically targeted underrepresented groups of students. The decline in diversity,especially compared to Cohort 1, may partially be due to the fact that many current WestVirginia University students from underrepresented groups, who were eligible for the ACCESSscholarship, applied and were selected in the earlier years of the ACCESS project. In addition,decreased diversity may be reflecting the broader trends in college enrollment, broader genderand racial disparities in Computer Science and

One unique advantage of Perkin et al.’s approach is that many of theitems provided a more detailed reflection on the specific context of doctoral education. Forexample, the dissertation advisor is proposed as a critical external source of recognition and thusthe following item was added: “My advisor(s) see me as a RESEARCHER.”2 Similarly, thecompetence scale in Perkins et al. work focuses more on specific competencies associated withresearch, such as delivering

statistically significant differences for Scenario 3.LimitationsThere are several limitations inherent to this work. Given the diffuse subject recruitment strategy,it is possible that ethically minded individuals are overrepresented in the sample (i.e., thatethically minded individuals would be more likely to respond to a voluntary survey onengineering ethics). Further, this survey examined individuals at one Research 1 institution in theUnited States and the results may to a degree reflect that (e.g., individual’s views on code sharingmay be influenced by institutional academic integrity culture and rules). Subjects were askedabout their perceptions of the views of industry, but contemporaneous surveying of individualsfrom industry was not an

While the immigration status of these faculty istransitional, their specific cultural and racial identity carries forward. Unfortunately, theclassification of these individuals in URM/Non-URM status is complicated [25], as 1) the URMdefinition used by NSF is based on underrepresentation in STEM fields relative to the overall U.S.population, but FB faculty are drawn from the world population where the ethnic groups adverselyaffected by systemic inequities may or may not align with the U.S. definitions; 2) FB faculty ofBlack and Hispanic backgrounds are included in URM, which raises the number of URM facultybut does not reflect an improvement in the including of

This approach enables educators to assess not only the final product of learning but alsothe learning process itself, including students’ problem-solving strategies, critical thinking, andability to apply knowledge in real-world situations [24].Embedded assessment comes with many challenges.

In such processes, we start with a testbed setup, including devices and processes reflecting the lower levels (Levels 0 - sensors/actuators, Level 1 - simple control/PLC) of the Purdue Model. We progress in later phases to higher levels of the Purdue model. To further make the domain expertise accessible to students, multiple resources were developed to walk students through building, configuring and operating the testbed with details including

often involves using traditional gender stereotypes inorder to capture girls’ interest. Sweet [11] found that toy marketing has fluctuated throughout the20th century in terms of using gender stereotypes to sell products to children. At certain points,stereotypes were prominently used in advertisements and marketing materials to drive sales andinfluence consumer behavior. Sweet notes that these actions "added to -- and helped toperpetuate -- evolving cultural narratives about gender" (p. 221). Feminine toys highlighteddomesticity, the adoption of nurturing qualities, and emphasis on attractiveness, while masculinetoys encouraged building, aggression, and action. Through continued play with gendered toysthat reflect societal stereotypes, girls
