DesignAbstractOne approach to look at student learning is to identify “threshold concepts.” These are conceptsthat, once grasped, allow students to engage with the material in a fundamentally different way.First described by Meyer and Land [1], these concepts are transformative, irreversible,integrative, and troublesome. The process of mastering a threshold concept (TC) meanstraversing a liminal space during which the student is changed. Looking inward at our owncapstone program, we identified three candidate TCs: (1) Complex engineering problems arebest solved by teams working together. (2) A team can learn a lot from a prototype, even(especially?) when it doesn’t work. (3) The goal isn’t to find the right answer, but to learn aprocess by which a

However, the adaption to the new mode generatednew approaches of the instruction. In the fall 2020, classes ran mostly in two different formats:online which could be synchronous or asynchronous, and hybrid which was a combination ofonline class and in person examinations. The modes helped create electronic resources, e-resources, for the classes. This shift in mode had prompted to new learning tools. The primaryfocus of the study was to explore the impact of the e-resources on the performance of thestudents.

These multidisciplinary challenges include makingsolar energy economical, restoring and improving urban infrastructure, providing access to cleanwater, and developing carbon sequestration methods. To address these design challenges,engineers in multidisciplinary teams must be able to communicate and justify their designseffectively for their work to be valued and implemented by stakeholders.

Early NLP methods utilized rule-based grammar anddictionary based frequency counts, effectively counting the number of times certain words orphrases appear in a given text. More modern methods utilize large pre-trained models [2] ortransformer-based architectures [3] to address variations in semantic meaning.

Over time, these trends have largely remained the samewhen comparing Black and Latinx collegiate students with other majority races and it has causedsome to ask the question: What are colleges and institutions doing to address this?

Learning is a form of AI machine learning that has gained a great deal of recognition in thepast 10 years in a wide range of areas such as medical diagnosis, quality assurance, defectdetection, face detection, autonomous vehicles, and many others. Deep learning networks,however, typically require large training databases of labeled images and often requirespecialized hardware and high-level software expertise. Techniques, such as transfer learningand the proper choice of software tools can mitigate some of these requirements. This paperdescribes a new, project-based course module to introduce deep learning and computer vision toundergraduate multidisciplinary engineering students in a robotics design and applications courseusing MATLAB software.1

Unfortunately, this decision is often plagued by uncertainty and indecision, leading to ahigher attrition rate among students who think they have made a definite choice. [1]Selecting an academic major is a complex process that is influenced by various factors such aspersonal interests, family and peer pressure, and access to reliable information. The informationavailable to students can be outdated, unreliable, or inaccessible to underrepresented groups,leading to ill-informed decisions.

To help students understandvibration phenomena in such complex dynamic systems, most vibration classes start with simple1DOF or 2DOF systems and associated analysis tools are developed as mathematicalmethodologies [1].Even though a simple mass-spring-damper system with 1DOF serves as a helpful starting pointfor students to learn about vibration phenomena, heavy use of mathematics sometimes makes itmore challenging for them to intuitively understand physical vibration motions. In addition,students have different experiences and backgrounds, so we cannot assume that all the studentscan easily
