. These include elements such as the quality of mentors [20], the ability toestablish trusting relationships between minority students and mentors across lines of difference [21], the limitedavailable time for mentoring activities [19], and engagement beyond departmental sanctions [22]. Literature shows alack of involvement of students and faculty in curricular or planning decisions [23] that could lead to disengagedparticipants [24]. In addition to the challenges of non-involvement, few programs look to improve the performanceof faculty mentors or cultivate a mentoring community [25]. Research suggests that effective involvement in suchdecisions could create a sense of community and perceptions of shared responsibility [26]. To reap the benefits
quality and howto mitigate the problems associated with poorly ventilated buildings were thoroughly discussedwith the students through journal articles and real-life examples. Each week students werepresented with an outlined lesson plan that described how to build and test the C-R boxes, andthe ethical implications of this project were frequently discussed with them. In addition to building the C-R boxes and discussing their impact, students also plottedgraphs to quantify the aerosol concentrations in the air with and without the C-R boxes over aperiod of time. They validated the effectiveness of the boxes in reducing particle concentration.Students used the “Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite'' app to collect and record data on the g-Forceto
material, and feeling more confident in their knowledge. Female studentsresponded more positively than male students to nearly every question regarding communitybuilding except for whether group problem solving helped students feel a sense of community.All activities described in this study are easy to integrate into lectures, and given their potentialimpact on community building, learning, and comfort with active participation, they meritconsideration in all graduate courses. Consistent with other studies of a graduate level course,small sample size limits the generalizability of the findings and precludes disentangling factorswhich may impact student responses such as gender, time at this university, and internationalstudent status. We plan to
processes for engineering education research is beneficial and essentialconsidering the innovative and adaptive nature of engineering. Hence, iterative revision cycleswere planned to develop a framework encompassing the essential elements of qualityengineering education. The study begins by outlining the final framework and then describes itsdevelopment from a modified ABET Criterion 3: Student Outcomes. Each time, multipleresearchers coded academic standards from multiple states (e.g., MOE's latest physics syllabus),then compared and discussed the results. A detailed coding protocol was developed for eachround iteration to facilitate content analysis and maximize the review process's validity andreliability. As part of the design research cycle
wisely. Good study habits include setting clearand achievable goals, creating a study plan, and taking regular breaks. Developing good studyhabits is critical in engineering, as it allows engineers to be more productive and efficient in theirwork.(v) Participation in Internships or Co-opsAnother chief constituent of the course is emphasizing the importance of participation in aninternship or co-op. Participation in these opportunities allows engineering students to work onreal-world projects, gain valuable work experience, develop important skills, and network withengineering professionals and mentors. This helps them make connections in the industry, whichmay lead to future job opportunities. Additionally, internships and co-ops provide an

Mentees also have “increased job satisfaction, higher salary,faster promotion, firmer career plans, and the increased probability that a protégé will alsobecome a mentor” [7, p. 204]. Also, those who identified as having mentors reported more careermobility, recognition, satisfaction, and promotions in their corporate jobs [8]. In addition tobenefitting all students, mentoring is recognized as a mechanism that has been shown to supportthe persistence and success of historically marginalized students in STEM through providingrelevant resources, psychosocial support, and fostering identity development [5

Authors are adding process simulation for roboticsmachining as well as part quality inspection with Ballbar methods to virtual modules to introducemore advanced topics to the existing curriculum. This paper focuses on the use of a ball-bar systemto compare the theoretical and actual path of a robot as it moves in a circle. The problem addressedin this paper is how to enhance student understanding of path tracking accuracy in circular motionsof CNC machines and industrial robots. This information eventually will be used to develop moreaccurate tool path planning using the robot as a machining tool.The significance of

Qualitative data confirmed that RLs are auseful tool for learning and promoting equitable access, but the internet can trigger digitalinequality that may impede equity among certain demographics.In response to the issue of equitable access, the RELIA Lab was created, in line with the coregoals of Engineering Instructional Laboratories. A Lite version of the lab is also underdevelopment to address digital inequalities and ensure access for students using mobile deviceslike cell phones or tablets. To gain a deeper understanding of digital inequality among students,we plan to conduct additional interviews and focus groups. Exploring the situation of otherminority groups will provide valuable insights and reveal new information

The authorshave planned a pilot study of the chatbot and its implementation for a course in Spring 2023.Results will be reported in the final paper.Introduction:Chatbots have revolutionized various industries, such as airlines, medical, and insurance. It canhandle many customers and respond to their varying inquiries. This progress in chatbot technologyis partly due to the recent advancements in natural language processing. There are limitedempirical studies examining the effectiveness of various learning designs or strategies whenincorporating chatbots in education [1]. Ongoing

The MOOCis planned to be offered as a free resource for the community. The real datasets used for theCybersecurity simulations will be available in an Open Science website.1. Introduction1.1 MOOCs in Electrical MicrogridsElectrical microgrids are denominated as a fundamental building block of electrical powersystems. The US Department of Energy has expressed that multiple efforts will be made with theaim of making microgrids an important element as part of the electricity delivery system,increasing its resilience and reliability [1].Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) represent a powerful tool
makingtheir values salient, leaders activate those aspects of their self-concepts (identities, beliefs,attitudes) to which their followers can relate. By creating the relatedness of the self-concepts,leaders and followers form a collective identity that then aids in motivating and regulating thefollowers’ behavior [24].Complexity Leadership Theory, another non-traditional approach to leadership, argues forleadership seen as a “system of dynamic, unpredictable agents that interact with each other incomplex feedback networks” [25]. Leadership that emerges from such complex systems canfocus on adaptation (producing change, knowledge dissemination, learning, and innovation),administration (producing formalized plans of action), or enabling (minimizing

Established in 1994 as an online bookseller, Amazon has since expanded into ageneralized e-commerce platform, extending its services to include the world’s largest cloudcomputing platform, a range of personal devices, and an entertainment company [24]. Amazon’smarket dominance is driven by Amazon Prime, a paid subscription plan whose central service isguaranteed two-day delivery on an extensive range of goods [25]. In addition to its products andonline services, Amazon has increased its physical footprint with outposts such as Amazon Go (aconvenience store chain with a cashierless setup, where customers are automatically charged forwhat they carry out) and

incorporating the findings into academic plans urges a significant contributionto the field of engineering education. Fourth, methods used in the study (focus groups andinterviews) are connected with research questions and literature identified earlier, providingdetailed insights from participants. This fulfills the goals of the study about contemplating theimportance of engineering standards, and thus reflects ‘meaningful coherence’ in the study.Positionality Statement There is a possibility of the impact of researcher bias on the interview questions, as theresearcher believes that there is a lack of emphasis on engineering standards in the mechanicalengineering curriculum. This belief is based on the researcher’s experiences during
I think if we are getting the results first time, then either we are way too genius, which is that’s absolutely not true, or we are doing something wrong.” So I think I kept that belief that “Okay, I will have to repeat some experiments, but I will still plan it and I’ll try to finish my work well within time.”Be HonestBe Honest refers to having a mindset of being honest while performing any research tasks.Honesty is a crucial aspect of research activities. One needs to continuously have a mental filterof being honest while doing any research task. This is clearly visible in the following statementsby Ramachandra in the context of experimentation: “…plus, I think integrity is very important, because whenever you talk
appropriate to thediscipline” using the project assignment. Rubrics were created to define the expectations for theproject report and shared with the students. The project report was evaluated on a 100% scale. Tosatisfy the expectations, students must score 70% or higher for the project report. The percentageof students receiving 70% or higher grades was calculated. The percentages of >90%, >80%,>70%, and <60% were considered exceeding, meeting, minimally meeting, and not meetingexpectations, respectively. Minimally meeting and not meeting expectations required changesmade or plans to do something different in the future, closing the loop for continuousimprovement. The assessment for the selected outcome showed that 83% of the students
demonstrate using simple problems withhand calculations. These problems are followed by examples that was solved using ANSYS. It isobvious students will expect that they will receive at least same or equivalent knowledge throughonline compare to face to face interaction. For this reason, clear and specific learning objectivesneeds to be set. Also, short-term plan and long-term goal of the course need to set very beginning.Then need to develop a methodology how effective it is possible to deliver in online system. Afterestablishing specific learning objectives of the course, need to determine evidence students reallyachieve the goal or objective of the course. Student should have clear vision of understanding whatexactly they need to do to show as
detract from student success and motivation. This information canbe used in practice for enhancing programmatic planning and design as well as potentiallydeveloping novel program components that contribute to students becoming more self-determined,motivated engineers. It is my hope that one day in the near future, engineering education faculty,administrators, and leaders will cultivate and measure success based on a more comprehensiveassessment of lived experiences. Additionally, this research is intended to help leaders betterrecognize how their decisions regarding programmatic structures impact students’ experiences andsuccess.Introduction and Literature OverviewInequalities are deeply rooted in the U.S. education system.
