possible that many students can complete a coursesuch as Statics by performing operations but without ever drawing corresponding diagrams, or, in thecases when students do draw diagrams, it is unlikely that they draw them to accurate geometrical scaleunless explicitly prompted.This raises questions such as if creation and interpretation of accurate figures is a necessary part ofunderstanding vector operations, and if such skills enhance, or at least correlate with, overall problem-solving performance. One approach to introduce graphical reasoning is via concept questions, in whichstudents can identify from a given set of options which diagram(s) accurately represent a vector resultantor other characteristic. Another approach, as is explored in
in the physical lab they completed theprevious semester. In the next sequence, the order is reversed. Students are first given thecomputational tools, then are given a similar task in a physical lab. In this case, although it wasnot required, many students voluntarily used the simulation tools learned to answer the questionin the physical lab. In addition to increasing engagement and helping to clarify the key concepts,this ordering helped to provide the bigger picture to the students of the different ways thatmodeling and simulation can be applied in the practice of materials design.References[1] S.

of PD, including 5 days in the summer and 3 days during the academicyear. Teachers implemented 3 culturally relevant engineering design (CRED) tasks that theydesigned for their own classrooms. A CRED framework was adapted from Guerra et al.’s [3]engineering design process to explicitly include connections to community, culture, and placewithin each design stage (Identify, Describe, Generate, Embody, Finalize). The PD program wasbuilt on a theoretical framework using Bandura’s [4] Social Cognitive Theory to develop self-efficacy and collective efficacy within the teacher cohort. Teachers were given tools, practice,and support to develop their own CRED tasks. The cohort model provided opportunities for peermentorship and on-going collaboration

learning is well established [1], educational needs havechanged in many ways over the past few years. This is partly due to Covid isolation and itsripple effects, and partly due to a rapidly evolving broader context for how people socialize andaccess, distribute and retain information. A forty-year study from 1976-2017 showed increasedlevels of loneliness and isolation in the 2010’s was strongly correlated with fewer in-personinteractions [2]. Prior to the pandemic a significant portion of college students reported feelinglonely [3]. Students have a deep need for connection [3], which is more pressing in light of theMental Health crisis in the United States which was exacerbated by Covid isolation [4]. Collegestudents have also reported feeling

correspondingmental effort – in response to the new legal landscape.DiscussionAs described above, we found that participants anticipate impacts from the new legal landscapethat will affect all of the sectors of Kania et al.’s model, suggesting something of the scope of theimpact of new DEI laws and the SCOTUS decision. Overall, there were more comments andconcerns from participants related to structural changes than to relational or to transformativechanges.It was also the case that some of participants’ observations suggest some porousness in theborders of the Kania et al. model. For example, participants viewed guidance from theirinstitution’s office of general counsel as a resource, but in doing so, that office becomes a strongerseat of power, therefore

A compatible virtualdisplacement of a body is a set of imaginary first-order differential displacements, whichconforms to the integrity (i.e., no breakage or rupture) of its free body within the framework offirst-order accuracy, where the body may be a particle, a rigid body, or s set of connectedparticles or rigid bodies.

course in signal analysis. Thefortuitous timing of the presentation led to variations of Dr. Perrins experiment being adapted tothe new course at Pittsburg State.In Perrins paper students were tasked with developing a method(s) of generating an acousticalimpulse, i.e. popping a balloon or hitting two pieces of wood together. The acoustical impulsewas then generated within a well-known acoustical environment, the KU basketball arena. If theimpulse method the students devised was a relatively good approximation of an acousticalimpulse, then the result was an approximate mathematical model of the arena. Convolving theimpulse response with a clean voice signal produced the effect of the clean voice signal soundingas if it was in the basketball arena
