package based on PV, wind power, and hydrogen fuel-cell fundamentals [6].The main author designed and implemented a 10 kW wind-solar distributed power andinstrumentation system for educating and training of workforce of Iowa in renewable energyapplications that exemplified positive work partnership for academia and industry[7]. Seniordesign students at the University of Northern Iowa established multiple grid connected wind-solar hybrid power stations on campus. These systems have been used for teaching and researchpurposes besides the green power generation and a showcase for the recruitment to STEM fields[8-9]. A smart grid design and implementation using distributed power sources of wind, solar,and hydrogen fuel cell was completed by the

Agroup presentation is also developed. Students describe what they learned before, during, and aftertravel. For example, students describe the differences between the manufacturing facilities in theUS and in Brazil.5. Program Results It is desired to continuously improve the course and study abroad program. Severalmeasures are used to characterize the effectiveness of the program. These measures focus

TheATE PI Conference is held in Washington, DC each fall and brings together PIs from projectsand centers across the United States.As part of the mentoring process, MentorLinks mentors do a site visit to their mentee collegecampuses to learn about their culture, administration, technical programs, challenges, andopportunities. Mentees then do a reverse site visit to their mentor’s college or an alternate collegeto learn some best practices, tour laboratory facilities, and see how other colleges operateinternally. Site visits may include meetings with administrators, faculty, industry advisorycommittees and employers, student services

Likewise, white students often overlook Black andBrown women when using laboratory equipment or delineating tasks having to do with figuringmathematics for the homework assignment [13].Marginalizing behaviors begin with team formation, where self-selection practices result in lessgender and racially diverse teams [14]. Team formation by self-selection is still pervasive despiteoverwhelming evidence of the problematic outcomes [14]. In cases where team formation iscontrolled by instructors, race, gender, and other salient characteristics that may serve as markersof difference within teams should be carefully considered in the execution of team-basedlearning.

In most cases, the overseas host institution isanother research university or a laboratory that can supply expert guidance in the student'schosen IRES fields. The IRES Track II (Advanced Studies Institute) program is a brief (15-21days) yet intensive course designed specifically for graduate students.

The inaugural pilot workshop, titled SystemsAutomation Springboard to Internships (SASI), was held during the winter term of 2021. Studentswere sponsored by companies, who paid the workshop fee, and offered the students an internshipduring the summer of 2021.The content of the SASI workshop, spanning the full spectrum of automation, from fieldinstrumentation through enterprise control systems, is delivered through a mix of lectures,laboratory experiences, programming, and discussions with industry experts. The strength of theworkshop lies in the rich depth and variety of materials offered by a mix of eight industrialpractitioners and three academic instructors

Sighting this demand,engineering educators around the world are now making efforts to change the curriculum byadding an EM based course or incorporating associated modules into their courses. Students canexplore EM concepts related to real-world social issues and expand ‘professional skills’ such asrecognizing opportunities, creativity, communication, leadership and adaptability throughexperiential learning modules. Such modules can be easily integrated into design-based coursesas well as laboratory courses to provide students with a hands-on experience and expose them toopen-ended questions. However, it is

Further, this study found that Latinas in engineering encounter tensionbetween their engineering identities and other identities such as their gender and racial/ethnicidentities. By understanding the process of professional identity development and its interactionswith other personal identities, researchers, practitioners, and administrators may develop supportmechanisms that provide a holistic approach to supporting the present and future success ofLatina engineering students.LATINAS
