rules [2] can be included in this ER diagram inthe form of constraints [1]. However, including constraints in this graphical model are just areminder for the programmer to be considered during the database implementation but it is betterto have them included. The problem is that constraint is very rigid and the database becomesprogrammer dependent and there is no grantee that programmer will include them in hisimplementation.An alternative solution for this problem is to implement the constraints in the form of triggers.Trigger is a program and is more flexible than a constraint. Trigger has Event, Condition andAction (ECA) property. When an event take place and consequently a condition becomes true, thetrigger takes action automatically and

IntroductionLearner-centered pedagogy has become increasingly popular in engineering education and isexplored in this evidence-based practice paper. “By incorporating active learning methods intothe classroom, instructors can create opportunities for learning instead of allowing students to sitpassively and learn by absorbing information passed on by the instructor [1].” Active,collaborative learning techniques include in-class discussions, activities and labs, as well asformal team projects [2]. Despite the benefits of this pedagogy, it is not always clear how toincorporate active learning strategies into courses with a high emphasis on technical content or inlarge classes.

Many attempts have been made in recentdecades to make engineering education more inclusive [1]. However, even with these efforts thefull participation of traditionally marginalized students in engineering has yet to be achieved [2].A necessary step towards this goal is changing prevailing beliefs and practices about whobelongs in engineering. To create this change, though, we need a better understanding of how thestructures and practices of engineering are often grounded in the worldview of the dominant,White culture, which marginalizes non-dominant communities

Using best practices in engineering education, the course transitioned from a lecturemodel to a project-based learning model that includes three blocks over a forty-lesson semester:block 1, introductory topics; block 2, robotics design and implementation; and block 3, mazecompetition. Each laboratory includes a brief fifteen-minute introduction to a fundamentalelectrical and computer engineering concept and 3.5-hours of hands-on application. For example,after learning how the average power of a system can be controlled via pulse-width modulation,students integrate motors into the robot and connect each motor to a modern measurement tool toobserve the

During the current pandemic,about half of U.S. students have moved to virtual schooling attendance because their families orschool district have deemed it the best way to stay safe6.

However, teaching an engineeringlaboratory class is not suitable in the first two modes as laboratory classes are designed to givehands-on experience to the students.
