Example from Strength of MaterialsStudents designing a timber ‘T’ beam for a quiz question exemplified how a model and theaccompanying mathematics is, or is not, used in engineering. The beam is constructed using twoplanks by setting one on edge (the stem of the T) and nailing the other down the middle to thetop edge. The quiz question asked students to specify s, the maximum nail spacing required tosafely fasten the two planks together for the given loading. Students learn about internal forcesin statics and then shear flow and shear stress in strength of materials courses. They typicallywork several fastener spacing problems during class and in assigned homework. The quizproblem described a situation where V(x), the internal shear force in the

Benefits Sought and AttainedAs in prior years, participants were asked to identify areas that they hoped to attain benefit andareas in which they did attain benefit. This data is presented in Appendix 3’s Table A1 anddiscussed in Appendix 3.Overall, while the limited number of participants limits the utility of direct comparisons, theonline program during year 3 outperformed the two previous years in terms of the number ofcategories that participant-sought benefits were attained in. Thus, it can be concluded that therewas no large-scale detriment in this area. The smaller cohort size may have impaired

release at the endof the year, Single Sign-On (SSO) configuration was not yet complete primarily due to logisticaldifficulties between IT teams. The team decided to use the old site for one final semester tocomplete more in-depth testing and help ensure a smooth transition. SSO is a critical productionfeature because it enables students to log into these applications using their Georgia Tech logincredentials, providing seamless accessibility.Spring 2020’s focus was EM development (9) and preparing IDCD for release. SSO was set upand the beta IDCD app was released on the production tenant for the Summer 2020 capstonedesign students (10). Typically, only about 60 students participate in capstone design’s ME andInterdisciplinary summer offerings as

the precedent set by her supervisors.Kayla’s authentic workplace experience contrasted with her school experiences because she haslower confidence with school and feels that others also have lower confidence in her. Shementioned that her classmates weren’t as respectful as her supervisors and they didn’t value heropinion. Based on this response, Kayla was describing inauthenticity due to a confident maleculture of engineering within school which was similar to Chachra et al.’s [32] and Faulkner’s[25] findings.Engineering Identity DevelopmentA critical piece of engineering identity development is recognition as an engineer. This includesidentity recognition by self and others. Recognition by others has been found to connectstudents’ identities

enrollment persistence, and growth rate are key challenges thatmost universities face now and probably in the upcoming year. Every 1% growth in enrollmentequals over $1 M, and every 1% growth in persistence equals nearly $1.2 M for our university.Hence, to assist the university in addressing the retention issue, the need to find the most vulnerablegroup/s and address their challenges is inevitable.Active Minds surveyed 2,086 college students in April 2020 and found out that 63% of studentshave difficulty staying connected with others during the pandemic [15]. The results of the literaturereview show that students are missing togetherness, and keeping them connected with theuniversity is one of the most challenging goals to achieve. This

IntroductionGeneral-purpose enterprise networks are capable of transporting basic data, e.g., emails,multimedia, and web content. However, these networks face many challenges when movingpetabytes (PBs) of scientific data, e.g., genomic, climate, imaging, and high-energy physics, [1].As a response, network architects have developed the concept of a Science Demilitarized Zone(Science DMZ or S-DMZ) [2] as parts of a

Wei et al.’s [19] findings were situated withinHofstede’s cultural dimensions and focused on individualism vs collectivism, with theinternational students in their study seemingly predominated by students from China, India, andSouth Korea.
