increases in motivation, which lead to increases inengagement, which lead to an increase in moral/ethical development” [15, p.74].The framework was chosen for this study because it includes the cognitive and affectivedomains, both of which are important in ethical development and decision-making. Emotion isan important part of responsible engineering design and technology [16], [17]. The social aspectof the model also speaks to the inherently social nature of ESI since ethical decisions are made incomplex organizational contexts that include many stakeholders [18]. Engineering ethics hastraditionally been taught with an individualistic approach that emphasizes the action andautonomy of a single actor; however, this approach has been criticized for

Student Poster Abstract Submission for 2020 ASEE – NE Conference Prediction of Wildfire through the Kernel-based Data Mining Techniques Janardhan Sutram1, Pranjal Sanjay Varade, Devaughn Staple, Prof. Jeongkyu LeeAbstract: Climate Change, a by-product of Global Warming, is an intrinsic issue of the 21st century.Regardless of individual stance of the issue, we cannot ignore the cataclysmic events it is ushering.Wildfires are one such events that are being caused by the change in climate. Earlier this year,Australia faced a testament to climate change that brought devastation to it’s ecosystem. The costsand numbers of such devastations could be decelerated by the use of technology and the data atour
because of constraints on timeand technology access, and because not all students require it. At CCSU, student participation ina voluntary online screening test paired with an optional, ten-hour, non-credit seminar wasdisappointing, with only a small fraction of the students deemed eligible for the seminarselecting to participate. In the Fall of 2020 the students in an Introduction to Engineering course(ENGR 150), were screened for weakness in spatial visualization using the Purdue SpatialVisualization Test: Rotations (PSVT:R). Those students in need of remediation were providedinstruction during break-out sessions during regular class time over the course of ten classmeetings. The breakout sessions lasted about ten minutes each, resulting in two
. RationaleAs with many other engineering disciplines, computer science has the quality of being “a lotharder than it looks” to many incoming students. Thus, retaining students in computer scienceand engineering majors is an on-going concern. Further, fewer students in the major meansfewer graduates in the discipline and fewer qualified citizens to be employed in critical technicalareas. In Texas, the high technology industries, though suffering just now from the economicdownturn, in general cannot find enough local engineering graduates to fill their needs. This iseven more acute in those industries which may have sensitive national security functions andwhich thus are not open to international graduates from Texas universities. To address this issue
© 2008, American Society for Engineering Education IntroductionPhotonic Crystals (PCs) are a new and promising technology that could enable high efficiencyemission devices and fast computing devices. Composed of periodic dielectric or metallic-cum-dielectric structures as shown in Fig. 1, PCs are designed to control the propagation ofelectromagnetic waves (EM) in ways similar to how the periodic potential in a semiconductorcrystal controls electron motion by defining allowed and forbidden electronic energy bands. Anelectromagnetic wave passing throughout an array of periodic scatterers will undergo destructiveinterference for certain combinations of wave-vectors at certain frequencies, thus
