Respectful, Equitable Teamwork in a First- Year Design CourseAbstractThis Work In Progress paper describes the initial implementation of activities aimed to enhanceteamwork in a first-year design course. Teamwork plays a central role in the experience ofstudents in many first-year engineering design programs. The first-year design class at DukeUniversity revolves around student teams (typically four or five members) working on aspects ofa client-based project. Although most teams in the course function reasonably well, there existareas for improvement: respectful communication among team members and ensuring that theperspectives and skills of all group members are appropriately valued. Each year, a few groupshave problems in

Throughout the semester, mini labswere introduced to allow students to work and ask questions on different topics, such as basiccoding structures, solving math problems, programming sensors, and controlling actuators. Allthe coding work in the course culminates in a final project where students are provided thefreedom to choose a project topic.

Native American Engineering StudentsABSTRACTEngineering students have limited opportunities for experiential learning, especially at TribalColleges and Universities, where engineering programs tend to be small, and resources areextremely limited. Typically, the first and senior years of a student's engineering educationjourney are infused with hands-on projects and capstone courses. However, the sophomore andjunior years generally need more opportunities for active learning, gaining professional skills,and developing a sense of professional practice. Also, scholars have increasingly realized thatarts subjects help students understand connections between different disciplines from acomprehensive perspective.This study highlights findings from

Specifically, curriculum changes were implementedinto a course on programming industrial robots (as part of the minor in robotics). This course isdesigned for teaching technology students how to install, maintain, and work with industrialrobots through real-world applications.

A few examples of these applications are fuelefficiency for automobiles and aircraft, and wind turbine blade analysis.

There are two solutions to this problem: repress how muchwater is used or recycle this wasted water into energy. Recycling the energy of used and wastedgraywater, falling down a drain into usable energy would help solve the growing need forsustainable energy. Hydropower is one of the oldest forms of renewable energy, but it onlyaccounts for about seven percent of total electricity generation in the United States [2]. Theoverarching goal of this project is to make hydropower available to all at a reasonable price.

lessonslearned for developing open educational resources.Project OverviewThis section contains details of the project execution, including descriptions and objectives for thetwo phases: (1) Development of the OER textbook, and (2) Incorporation of student problems.In the first phase, developing the OER textbook, an internal university grant of $1,000 was awardedin April 2020, which allowed for an adaptation of existing material. Rather than create an entirelynew textbook, OER statics and physics textbooks were adapted. A research student was hired inthe fall of 2020 to support the creation of the OER, using the Pressbooks platform. The studentwas recruited based on their performance in the Fall 2019 Statics course with the facultyresearcher, for their
