Juan Carlos shows similar versatility, usingSpanish for in-depth discussions and English when addressing a wider audience.We add another dimension, describing how casual conversations with peers from similarbackgrounds often involve a mix of English and Spanish. This linguistic blend extends beyondthe classroom, strengthening friendships, alleviating stress, and enhancing empathy among peersduring graduate school. It is a practice that enriches their shared cultural experiences, from foodto customs, and bolsters their individual identities.Another common theme was that in formal academic settings

Upon design, they should be able toimplement their ideas into a physical or modeled product with hardware, manufacturing, coding,and validated measures considered. Finally, they should be capable of operating their productsuch that it delivers its intended proposition while accounting for its maintenance, potentialupgrades, recycling, and disposal of the product once reached the end of its life cycle [3].Additionally, the aerospace industry continues to expand international collaboration amongstprojects. For example, one of the largest commercial aircraft, the Airbus A380, has designoffices, engineering centers
(n=7); 10institutions did not participate in STARS. Reporter institutions do not have scores as they do notparticipate in the entire rating process. Thus, there were 72 institutions in the data set withAASHE STARS scores. Three STARS scores were recorded: the total score, curriculum score,and academic score. The total score is a sum of five sub-scores: academics, operations,engagement, planning & administration, and innovation & leadership (which is an optional‘bonus’ category). Operations has the highest weight in STARS overall, with the potential to earn71 points. The academics category (maximum 58 points) includes both curriculum and researchsub-categories. The curriculum sub-category includes 8 specific credits, where academic

The final group presentations reflected the group dynamics in the designingand the building of the bridge. Vermillion of Graphite's group takes full ownership of thephysical design and harm reduction planning of the bridge. This was the only group that did notproperly build the bridge across the water, as the group's final decision of the park and thefactory stayed on the east side of the river. Additionally following Graphite's laid-backleadership style, his understanding of how their decision may reduce harm showed no greaterunderstanding than Vermillion's despite an age gap of approximately five years.

After completing the course and the project, students should be able to: (1) design andimplement a solution to an open-ended engineering problem that involves both hardware andsoftware designs; (2) use simulation and measurement tools to devise a test and validation plan;(3) document and present detailed engineering design process of the project solution; (4)recognize and assess the ethical issues and societal impacts of the designs and solutions.4. Wireless Sensor Node ProjectThe project was inspired to provide a possible solution to notify first responders whenever

By extensively researching existing studies on polymercomposite recycling and additive manufacturing technologies, and considering the specific needsof Louisiana, a comprehensive project plan was developed. The main objective was to find asustainable method for fabricating filament feedstock for fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3Dprinting processes, focusing on recycling composite materials from end-of-life boats. The projectinvolved collecting samples from abandoned boat hulls, classifying them, mechanically recyclingthe collected material through grinding, fabricating short-fiber reinforced composite filament forFDM 3D printing, and conducting tensile tests on 3D-printed parts. The study included

Sensors can detect unsafe conditions and trigger alerts or automatic shutdowns when necessary [30], [31].vii. Data-driven decision-making: IIoT generates vast amounts of data that can be analyzed to gain valuable insights into operations, customer preferences, and market trends. This data-driven decision-making approach can lead to better strategic planning and competitive advantages [11], [32].viii. Remote monitoring and management: IIoT allows for remote monitoring and management of industrial processes and equipment. This is
suitable language for beginners and appreciatingits integration into the course's tight schedule. However, the grading system has garnered mixedreviews from students, with some fast learners liking it and slow learners finding it discouraging.While there are no plans to significantly change the grading approach, the speed component ofgrading will be reduced to bridge the gap between fast and slow learners. To further enhance thecourse, the Arduino programming module will be simplified and given additional coverage time,allowing students to better understand the necessary skills. Students will also be encouraged tosave their programs for future use to avoid the frustration of having to rewrite programsrepeatedly. To alleviate the challenges that
participation in equitable design interventions. Our ScLR revealed that engineering faculty may have challenges when planning andimplementing equitable design teaching interventions. As higher education institutions seek todiversify their population and graduate professionals able to address the changing landscape ofglobal issues, they must equip their faculty with the tools to continually integrate critical socialreflection into their teaching. Faculty must also be supported in the process of implementingthose innovations in their courses and curricula. Since students may not be used to integratingsocial reflection in the design process, course evaluations can be impacted negatively. Furtherinvestigation into ways to reduce potential students

Additionally, it underscores the importance of fostering abilitiescritical for analytical thinking and real-world application, such as analytical problem-solving andexperimental methods, to guarantee learners are well-equipped to utilize their learning in practicalscenarios [6]. Bloom's mastery learning model encapsulates the core tenets of this educationalapproach by emphasizing the definition, planning, teaching, and grading for mastery. It recognizesthe assessment of mastery as a crucial pillar, addressing the research question of how studentmastery is monitored and identifying the assessment models capable of measuring it [6].Mastery Learning Steps Bloom Mastery
databases usesChatGPT, writing, and construction as a search string for papers that include these terms in the title,abstract, or keywords. The timeframe for the publications extends from late 2022 through the present.Academic usage and risks of ChatGPTThe use of AI tools naturally extends to all aspects of education, including writing-intensive programs. Inthe field of construction management, the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) outlines17 Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) for construction education programs. The first SLO, SLO-1,emphasizes the ability to "create written communication appropriate to the discipline of construction. ThisSLO focuses on ensuring that students are able to effectively communicate ideas, plans, and

In this rapid prototyping phase, students should be encouraged to use easy-to-manipulate (e.g., cardboard, rubber bands) materials to develop multiple iterations of initial McKibbenmuscle mechanisms. Students should be encouraged to develop a design that addresses one of the threegame challenges using a McKibben muscle. Another option is to assign students to produce a simplemechanism to complete a specified task that will sufficiently develop the student's understanding of themuscle actuation. Subsequently, students will be able to brainstorm various ways to address the remainingchallenges not yet designed. Students should be given time to then sketch and plan for their

Similarly, students with strongprior interdisciplinary knowledge and modeling and simulation competencies will interact farbetter with their peers and build their communication and collaboration skills based on thoseguiding prompts. The qualitative results showed that the students tended to engage their modeldevelopment and result reporting and visualization skills more independently than as a teambecause of the disciplinary technicalities and team members' prior knowledge.Overall, the insights derived from this study can prove valuable in the planning andimplementation of effective team-based course intervention strategies that pertain to project-based modeling

After our analysis,the findings identified offshore wind as a topic and set of resources that were not helpingstudents conceptualize bias, differential impacts, and cause of societal outcomes as richly as wehoped. As a response, we plan to replace offshore wind with a different topic. To contend withthe issues of student lack of familiarity

This is at least the second time the students have taken thiscourse. The workshops were designed to offer an alternative teaching-learning strategy for thestudents. Since students who repeat a course tend to miss classes under the assumption that theyhave already seen or done the activities of the workshops, teachers and designers planned theactivities using a teaching strategy (modified ILD) and incorporated technology (Phetsimulations) to make the physics course more engaging for the students [15].The innovative design was based on a positive

This flexibility allows students to tailor their study plans according to their specificrequirements and backgrounds, ensuring a customized and effective educational experience in the realm ofData Science.Moreover, instructors employ a multifaceted approach by providing diverse examples and projects toinspire students with varied backgrounds. Our faculty members, hailing from diverse disciplines such asComputer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, and Communications, contribute to the richnessof perspectives. This diversity enables
responses capture experiences ranging from students whostrongly preferred this approach to those who strongly disliked it. A strong theme that emergedfrom these comments include students’ appreciation for the flexibility afforded by the flipped-style class to engage with lecture material at their own pace, schedule, and manage commitmentsthey have in their lives. An interesting self-reflection from multiple students notes the high-levelof executive function (e.g. planning, focusing attention, remembering, and balancing multipletasks) and self-regulation (e.g. resisting impulses) required to be successful in this class format.The feedback of students who did not enjoy the flipped-style format suggest that this may also bethe source of their dislike

class is also imperative. It is difficult forstudents to effectively participate in classroom discussions if they are not familiar with thetopics. Again, attempting to teach workplace disciplines, an employee will rarely be expected toattend a design or construction meeting without first reviewing client preferences, plans,specifications, etc. relating to the project.In class, discussions focus more on the students’ experience with and feeling toward the topicthan on memorization of terms and definitions. Students are strongly encouraged to voice theiropinions on the topic. Students are further encouraged to disagree with each other, the text, andthe professor, as long as they do so respectfully. This is the primary rule in the classroom
