This knowledge is especially useful for students preparing to enter graduate school or a career in industry. · Since the students waited until the last minute to construct their prototype, they consequently felt unmotivated to construct a numerical model.

plan for CenSSIS includes introducing imaging technology to undergraduates. Theplan seeks to generate undergraduate interest in subsurface sensing and imaging, in undergraduateresearch opportunities related to CenSSIS, and in careers in this area. An initial freshman coursewas offered at Northeastern in winter 2001, which primarily dealt with acoustic imaging 2. In2001 an ‘Introduction to Engineering’ module on imaging was developed at Boston Universitythrough CenSSIS. The module reported in this paper, ‘Exploring Hidden Worlds’ is beingoffered for the first time in spring 2002.

Inthis lesson, students will design the tiny home in a city of their choice that is as environmentallyfriendly as possible while staying on budget. This project will evaluate the students’ understandingof the Engineering Design Process, as well as increase their awareness of their impact on theenvironment.Mrs. Sigler plans to incorporate this into her lesson plan by having students use the software FloorPlanner to design buildings with reduced environmental impact and while focusing on healthconcern & building implications.

The COVID-19 pandemic posedsignificant challenges to engineering education, leading to an immediate shift in pedagogy and arapid transition to remote methods. While remote teaching typically demands considerable timeand investment in online course content development, the experience gained during thepandemic is expected to bring substantial benefits when integrated into in-person instruction.Instructors are realizing that online resources complement in-person instruction, with theanticipation that in-person classes will make better use of time for activities

These projectsoffer students a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practicalapplication, a vital component of their future careers. Machine learning, with its ability to makesense of complex data and make predictions, has become integral in engineering fields.

Instructors try to strike a balanced presentation ofchallenging concepts, facts, and learning strategies, but it seems that students always feel thatthere are too many detailed, progressively complex theories with few “real” engineeringexamples to relate. The lack of proper comprehension and problem-solving tactics addsadditional frustration to students when they are asked to transform technical materials into formsthat demonstrate their understanding and to apply knowledge in a variety of problem settings.Thus, it is crucial to design a fun learning environment that promotes strategic, constructive, andbig-picture reading, thinking and problem solving.With the advancement in digital

Mostarticles focused on freshman retention and the many efforts that have been undertaken toimprove first-year retention numbers. Unfortunately, in many cases it is still too early todetermine conclusively whether or not these have been successful. Therefore, this study focuseson efforts where substantial (two or more years of) increased retention have been documented.Successful efforts include:  First-year interest groups where students are clustered in common class sections.  Peer mentoring and/or supplemental instruction.  A first-semester, project-based, career-enlightening
