with code) and MergeCube (aphysical cube that acts as a digital canvas for augmented reality) to plan and create sustainabledigital cities. Before they started building, students were asked to consider: 1. Who are engineers, and what do they do? 2. What role do engineers play in sustainable development?Next, students were given a brief presentation on sustainable city planning and urbandevelopment with a specific focus on the role of engineers in promoting sustainability. Using thisknowledge, students worked in pairs on Cospaces to create small-scale sustainable cities that canbe visualized with MergeCube Augmented Reality. Design teams dragged and dropped variousfeatures like windmills, buses, bikes, and trees into the Cospaces scene

points during the learning process and indifferent components of the learning environment (Puntambekar & Kolodner, 2005). Forexample, we designed the digital activities and unplugged activities to complement to each other;key concepts are presented to students and then reinforced in different learning materials; and wedesigned materials and activities to engage students visually, spatially, auditorily, andkinesthetically.The design of the comic book was guided by the anchored instruction framework (Cognition andTechnology Group at Vanderbilt, 1990). This technology-centered learning approach posits thatproviding students a story-driven "macrocontext" triggers and sustains students' engagement. Acomic book was not originally in the our plans
that“the kind of research [I am] trying to do is very much different from what my advisor does. Thisis very new to her, and also to me.” Students sometimes had to look beyond their primaryadvisor, but felt the program needed to provide more visibility of faculty advisors acrossdisciplines. Students perceived that “some of the faculty seem more interested…listen more, andtry to give feedback…like a core faculty group,” but most were not able to attend meetingsregularly and were unaware of students’ research interests. Discord existed between students’expectations for their interdisciplinary programs’ offerings and the faculty involved in planning.“Uh, the faculty even they don’t know who is charge of the seminar […] So we don’t knowwho’s
students select aviable research question early on in the semester. We also added more scaffolding to codingactivities and more skills practice. For example, instead of teaching coding and data analysistogether, students were first asked to interpret data and SAS output first. Then they were taughtto plan out the coding, and then finally code. And in light of the on-going pandemic, studentservices such as Personal Counseling were brought in to make class presentations and connectstudents directly with their services. Now in its third semester of offering, prior cohorts ofproject-based Introduction to Statistics faculty are regularly developing new activities andmodifying existing ones to increase student learning and engagement.Most students at

This course was designed to create the opportunity forscholars to interact with professionals of different disciplines and cultural backgrounds andattend seminars and symposia on different subjects. The ENGR194 implementation and itsimpact on students’ academic success and retention were described in detail by Nazempour et al.[5].ENGR194 was offered for the cohort III of scholars in Spring 2021. We modified it based on ourevaluations of the earlier offerings. The course content included math and science discussiongroups, four-year study plan development, major selection, entrepreneurship challenge, time andstress management, introduction to undergraduate research projects and internship

Multi-campus FeaturesThe program offers three courses taught using multi-campus instruction where the instructor isphysically present with one cohort of students at one campus and is concurrently connectedthrough Information Communication Technology (ICT) to another cohort of students in a remoteclassroom at the other campus. This instructional style is relatively new at the university; the firstof its kind in the Faculty of Applied Science. This format of instruction provides
results above.Self Paced LearningThe instructors now monitor the online resources. Students must submit the certificate ofcompletion as an individual graded assignment. More online resources regarding safety withCNC machines have been added, and individual follow-up assignments are required and graded.These were established to hold students accountable to engage with the provided onlineresources, and we expect that adding these requirements will make students more prepared in thelab. Therefore, assignments can be completed more quickly, and we plan to include a project inthe last month of the spring 2022 semester.Peer to Peer LearningStudents in the pilot semester felt it was hard to absorb information during lectures and indicatedthey learned

after NSF support ends.The 2021-2022 academic year is the third of the five-year program, although, given emergentrecruitment issues, we foresee application for a no-cost extension. The primary concern is thelow number of students currently supported in comparison to our goals, highlighting recruitmentfor further examination. We planned to support up to twenty students in year 1, 52 students inyear 2, and 70 students in year 3, but our actual numbers in the first three years are 7, 12, and 28students. Given this trend, our concern over how we recruit students into SPECTRA is now atthe forefront of our work. The program is not reaching eligible students, and low recruitment haslimited the quality of research needed to inform the construction of

User BaseEngineering is one of the fastest growing majors at SFSU with a highly diverse underrepresentedminority (URM) student population, the vast majority of whom are first-generation collegestudents from low-income backgrounds. However, in the past few years, only 29% of Hispanicengineering students graduated in six years. Additionally, only 14% of engineering studentssurveyed at the time of graduation secured full-time employment. There is a critical need to buildinstitutional capacity to enhance the quality of engineering curriculum and to increase therecruitment, retention and graduation rates of engineering students at SFSU.Research on

Group work can offer many benefits, including improving communication andteamwork skills, appreciation and respect for others. However, group work activity sometimesleads students into a challenging experience, especially for students who are not familiar withgroup activities at university, and may also decrease individual performance. When creatinggroups, instructors are faced with deciding whether to allow students to form their groups or assignthem to groups, whether to switch groups or keep them the same all semester and whether torequire students to submit their work individually or as a group [12,13
summer component when it was already so late in the summer. The plan is to increase thienumber of particpants to 20 next year, and 30 the year after. The goal is to have 40 students inthe program by the academic year of 2024–2025. We plan to keep it at or below 40 students tomaintain a tight-knit community and hopefully integrate it successfully with the EngineeringLiving Learning Community.In the upcoming academic year, the PM will begin a group chat in the summer term to facilitatepeer interactions from the beginning. The PM and PTs observed that students often deferredquestions to the upperclassmen students, rather than their peers who were in the same classes.With a group chat including the PM, students can ask questions to one another, and
undergraduate education. The utilization of Massive Open OnlineCourses (MOOCs) in undergraduate education is increasing in popularity due to their accessibility,user-friendly format, and their ability to prepare students with the specific skills and knowledge to entertheir desired field. In 2024, NASA plans to land the next man and the first woman on the Moon throughthe Artemis program. Preparing for this mission requires astrodynamics and trajectory design knowledgethat is beyond the scope of most undergraduate, and even graduate, education. It is critical that theengineers working on this mission overcome this knowledge gap to ensure a successful mission. Our teamhas created a MOOC entitled Teaching the Moonshot to help bridge this gap for

Finally, near the end of this cycle, thedesign team and content experts verify that the planned scenario meets the specified requirementsfor the target users9,10,11.Speech DatabaseThe ASR modules in the system have to deal with the disordered speech from children, which isnotoriously harder to recognize than the standard speech. One of the barriers to developing ASRmodels that can handle disordered speech is the scarcity of datasets publicly available for trainingand testing, especially for young children. The Speech Exemplar and Evaluation Database (SEED

(Appendix). The purpose of thisconnection was to teach the students how to build team dynamics through planning andexecuting a project.While the regular project allowed the students to propose a solution based mainly on functionalassessment, the EM project asked them to consider technical feasibility, customer value andeconomic viability as well. In the process of searching for technical feasibility, the studentslearned how to integrate information from many sources to gain insight. In this project, it wasshown that a carefully designed strut composed of elastic elements can provide the needed springaction (Solid Mechanics connection), and an actuator with a proper orifice can provide adequatedissipation of energy (Fluid Mechanics connection

None of these students haveentered the ESD course yet, which one author is planning to teach in Spring 2023, when the firstsmall, sample set of Spring 22 Thermo I students should arrive in that course. The Spring 2023semester will also yield more of these Spring 22 Thermo I students in Heat Transfer and ThermoII. In the Fall 2023 semester, significantly more of this Thermo I cohort should be present inESD. The instructor for this ESD has thus far reported that Fall 2022 was the worst semester hehas seen in terms of student preparation and performance, and he should be interacting withstudents who took Thermo I in late 2020 through 2021, during which time the least consistentinstruction in Thermo I was applied.

Several of the students, as well as their engineering student mentor, wereparticularly interested in music and partnered with a thirteen-year-old girl with cerebral palsythat loves to listen to music. The girl is confined to her chair, is nonverbal, and struggles withfine motor skills. The team visited the girl and had an opportunity to interview her mother andnurse. Both expressed a desire for the girl to be able to independently control her own music ei-ther through her TV or Alexa.The team brainstormed ideas and developed an ambitious design plan (see Figure 5a) that in-volved a control unit with large assistive buttons connected to a micro-controller based MP3player and speaker that can give eight distinct
for Teaching Project Based Structural Engineering CoursesAbstractThis paper outlines how the author teaches structural design courses, set in context of actualprojects. The framework mimics what occurs in a consulting office, with a focus on helping studentsbecome proficient in what structural engineers use 80% of the time. Rooted in project-basedlearning, students utilize ASCE 7 to calculate loads, and the associated material codes to designbeams, columns, frames, walls, footings, and connections. They utilize structural engineeringsoftware for in-depth analysis and CAD software to prepare framing plans, elevations, and details.Students who are experiencing this framework are preparing a work product on-par with newpracticing engineers.1

A literature search consisting ofcollecting relevant papers related to the modeling of airflow around wind turbines was conducted.After reading several papers and discussing some of the technical material presented in the papers,we became aware of various adopted approaches to tackling simple and complex problems, whichprovided us with some guidelines for developing a plan to deal with the problem at hand. Initially, we focused on understanding the papers dealing with two-dimensional (2-D) CFDsimulations of flow past airfoils and looking at the capabilities and requirements for various CFDsoftware packages available in the market.

In fact, many institutions haveallowed for this opportunity in 3D printing labs for students to rapidly prototype their circuitdesigns and other 3-D printed projects. Further, we see a high importance for students to learnpractical aspects of circuit design in the sophomore year, and to retain ECE students who feel agreater level of accomplishment in computer science courses or plan to drop out.
