such as these, engineers will increasingly work on globallydispersed teams, where engineers in the United States may be working virtually with otherindividuals around the world. Graduates of engineering programs need to be prepared to workon projects that may be physically located in another country. They must also be able to work ondiverse teams with other engineers who may be from a different culture or country. As NAEnotes, “Many advanced engineering designs are accomplished using virtual global teams –highly integrated engineering teams comprised of researchers located around the world. Theseteams often function across multiple time zones, multiple cultures, and sometimes multiplelanguages.”2Employers of engineers have expressed the need

It wasobserved that there was considerable improvement in the Cronbach’s alpha number (a measure ofconsistency) in the second survey that was done at the end of the semester by which time thestudents were effectively well versed with the EM mindset and were able to successfullyimplement it. However, for the capstone course it was observed that the Cronbach’s alpha numberwere similar due to the

These two methods are particularly useful forms of reviewing what is already writtenand known about the topic, identifying research gaps, and in some cases, and analyzing existingliterature. Scoping Reviews and Systematic Literature Reviews are similar and different in theirown ways. For example, a scoping review may be utilized for understanding the “breadth” of aresearch topic, but a systematic literature review may be utilized for understanding the “depth”and appraise the literature of a topic [1].

The basic lessons are self-explanatory and have detailed instructions of circuit building and coding.
