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.

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

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).

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

The lecture extended these topics to also cover STEAM, where the ‘A’stands for art. The notion of combining art into these fields that are usually viewed as inartistic hasdiscovered a resurgence in the importance of
