The focus on quantitative analysis ispart of a broader effort to educate students in this area. The course material is built around ahands-on project to control an inverted pendulum on a cart, a classic problem in control theory[1] which is often included in Signals and Systems and System Dynamics courses [2], [3].To this end, we developed a project using an affordable system based on an Arduino-likeplatform, the Balboa 32U4

typicalclasses, learning activities from levels 1-5 take place before students are asked to tackle level 6 learningactivity. This forms a natural progression in learning. When it comes to programming, this naturalprogression is broken for the sake of accelerated effort to get the students familiar with the field as wellas programming, simultaneously. This approach, while noble in intention, can be compared to trying torun without the ability to walk.In this paper the conventional material to teaching programming to freshman MEs is replaced withnewly developed material which has been designed so that students know and understand everyproblem assigned before they tackle the task of writing code to solve the problem.

The proposed approach has the potential to guide STEM educatorsas to the STEM topics that may be more difficult to teach (e.g., climate change), given students’susceptibility to AI-driven misinformation that promotes controversial viewpoints. In addition,the proposed approach may inform students themselves as to their susceptibility to AI-drivenSTEM misinformation so that they are more aware of AI’s capabilities and how they could beutilized to alter their viewpoints on a STEM topic.1.

In fact, the FAA predicts that the number of slightlylarger UAS; those over 55 lbs, could exceed the number of general aviation aircraft by the mid-2030s. [1] It is important that academia stay ahead of any emerging technology to help developinnovative graduates and provide the appropriate knowledge and skills to succeed in industry. Itis no surprise then that academic institutions, and STEM programs in particular, areincorporating UAS into their education. As with any technology, this can present bothopportunities and challenges.

During the1980s, we began rethinking the causes and cures of minority student attrition when there was arealization that student-focused interventions would impact entering students' success [2]. Thisearly work on student retention ushered in what might be called the "age of involvement" [1],[3]. We have learned that belonging and involvement matter and are critical to success during thecritical first year of college [4], [5]. Further, as a profession, we have recognized we are intransformation (for example, The Engineer of 2020 [6]), and now, more than ever, "criticalthinking," and "learning how to learn" have become recognized as crucial attributes of teachingengineering fundamentals

Whilea transition to virtual learning can eliminate the spread of the virus, such transition cannot be takenlightly by everyone. A report by Allen and Seaman [1] indicates that institutions with onlineofferings in 2014 to 2015 are just as positive about it as ever, but those who have no onlineofferings say that it will not be part of their plans for the future. Moreover, academic leaders atinstitutions with online offerings have consistently held a more favorable opinion of the learningoutcomes for online education than those at institutions with no offerings

The purpose of this spectrum is to providepractical choices for teachers to continue to use groupwork in engineering design instruction even as normal classroom routines and settings are disrupted bydistance learning online or socially distanced learning in the classroom.1 Dym, C.

The calls have come from both engineering practice [1] and academic communities[2], and the expectations have been codified by ABET for engineering academic preparatoryprograms [3].At the recommendation of our School of Engineering Industry Advisory Board late in the 1990sit was decided to develop a new graduate program to address a changing manufacturing andindustrial environment in our state.

This is because for advanced applications,one probably really wants to do 1. symbolic model manipulation 2. symbolic model simplification 3. numeric model simulation 4. code generation (for efficiency)Some experts have reported that the premise of Matlab is numerical computing.

werepositively correlated to the motivation and Engineering Identity scores.1. IntroductionEngineering curricula are typically structured as a set of sequential courses (often taught bydifferent instructors) where later courses build upon the knowledge gained from the earliercourses [1]. The Industrial Engineering (IE) curriculum is no exception. One limitation of thistraditional approach is that the separation in time and context across different courses can makeit difficult for students to connect fundamental topics to real-world problems[2]. This lack ofconnection is a potential factor that impacts engineering students’ attrition rates. Engineeringstudents have graduated at a rate of about 50% for more than 60 years [3]–[8].
