Category (5), “an ability to function effectively on a team whose memberstogether provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks,and meet objectives”, still has the highest “Unaccepted” rate of 3%. It was also reflected in the surveyresults of qualitative questions, which were discussed in the next session. 2024 ASEE Southeastern Section Conference Figure 3.

time a student is taught to use a model for asystem in the Laplace Domain only, they lose the fact that the controller designed will not workover the whole range of the input constraints. In fact, that is more a rarity than the norm. Transferfunctions for lime kilns, cardiac arrest patients, reactive etchers, etc. do not hold for the range ofinputs outlined in final projects given to students[8]. Representing a nonlinear multivariableprocess by a matrix of transfer functions leads to real repercussions for students that think theseare at least close to accurate models that reflect a dynamic range of responses over the inputconstraints. And instead end up with a system that a single controller can regulate. There are nooperating regions

when looking for an industry practitioner to be a lecture guest speaker,most of the time you have some experienced white male, which reflects the non-diversefield as a whole and the issue about diversity and inclusion”. Faculty instructors also agreedwith the difficulty of accessing a diverse group of practitioners which makes it moredifficult to ensure diversity when inviting them to any academic activity (e.g., capstonementorship, workshops, conference speaker, lecture guest speaker). To know how companies involve their employees in DEI, we asked practitioners ifthey knew (awareness) about DEI Statements in their company. We found that, out of the249 participants, 71% of professionals identified DEI statements in their companies, 12

transitioning to and from remote learning.This survey was given in Winter 2022, which was a unique term at the University of CaliforniaIrvine because courses started online and returned to in person later in the term. Moreover, it wasnot clear at the beginning of the term when courses would return to in person, only that theywould eventually. Therefore, this was a particularly disruptive term for the students who had allpreviously experienced the transition to online learning in Spring 2020 and had transitioned backto in person courses by Fall 2021, only to return to online courses in Winter 2022 due to thespread of highly contagious COVID-19 variants. This provided a unique opportunity for studentsto reflect on their experiences adapting through

For capstone projects, students propose, develop, design, and build a working or almost working prototype solution to a selected, significant, engineering problem. Each project team researches the ideas, various ways to implement, costs, efforts, and their own expertise coupled with their inclinations. Students do their own learning and

The Earth’s hydrosphere is composed of all water including in oceans, lakes, rivers, andgroundwater. The hydrosphere plays an essential role in the climate system because water transportsheat better than air; hence, so the impacts of climate change will be transmitted by water19.

The four parts are executedin one iteration during which the coal fly ash particle is assumed to settle regardless of how longthe particle is airborne. The wind speed and direction are set during the entire time of an iteration.This iterative process is repeated several times to account for the random changes in wind speedand direction.The size of fly ash particle is selected using Figure 2 and Equation 6. Figure 2 reflects the actualdistribution of particles typically found in coal fly ash. Equation 3 is used to compute its terminalvelocity using Stokes’ law. Next, wind

hay bale insulation (right)The Spring 2023 cohort’s performance optimized design required installing external heating andventilation systems, insulation, and thermostats. This design considered electric, oil, and propaneenergy source options, two of which did not meet the MC director’s sustainability criteria. Thetypes of insulation considered were fiberglass, polystyrene foam, and reflective insulation.Thermostats and a ventilation system were recommended for installation, but very littleinformation was presented on the specific system to be installed. No system parameters,mathematical approximations, or heat transfer modeling were presented to size the system. Theteam estimated that this design could cost up to $7000. The cost optimized
