embedded system was developed for this platform. As the main intelligence, a RaspberryPi 3 A+ was adopted, and a Navio2 was used as a flight controller unit [11][12]. The Navio2 hasa UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) radio communication unit that can beconnected to a custom-built external base station. This base station is similar to a customizedsmall sized computing system. It consists of a Raspberry Pi, a small screen, wireless combokeyboard, and a USB radio module that can be connected to the quadcopter. The base station canrun flight planner software such as Mission Planner. This allows the user to pilot the quadcopterand plan autonomous missions. This project was carried out by a capstone project team of four undergraduate

Inside Higher Educationreported that 200 institutions were either planning or were in the process of implementing CBE[24]. In fact, in the United States, 600 postsecondary institutes are designing or implementingCBE programs.Steele and colleagues [25] described the implementation of CBE in pilot programs within aschool district in Colorado, four schools affiliated with Asia Society, a non-profit organization,and a school district in Pennsylvania. The number of students enrolled in the schools rangedfrom 2,000 to 10,000. They evaluated the model in these schools by interviewing leaders of theprogram and

In terms of future work, additions such as displaying of free bodydiagrams, generation of CAD models to enhance visualization, integration of synthesis techniquessuch as path, function, and motion, as well as the ability to generate MATLAB scripts to verifystudent written scripts, are being planned. The software is also being planned to be used in othercourses where kinematics and force analysis of linkages are being taught. Once there are morestudents and faculty start using the tool in similar courses at other universities, the benefits of thistool will be clear to both students and teaching teams.5.

In thefirst stage of content analysis, two authors read all of the transcripts and generated the initialcoding scheme. In the second stage, two authors coded one-third of the transcripts and revisedthe coding scheme. Two authors then coded all of the transcripts. All authors met to discuss andrefine any coding categories. In the last stage, two authors recoded all of the transcripts with finalcoding scheme. Any discrepancies (5.7% of codes) were discussed

This may beproblematic as we have constructed the competition conditions to implicitly favor one type of hulldesign. This lack of transparency for the students may lead to frustration or internalization of wrong orincomplete engineering fundamentals.

At the community college level, some efforts have already started to introduce courseson renewable energies as well as boot camps or certifications to prepare the workforce to installand operate renewable energy systems. Four-year universities are catching up with theseinitiatives, but at a much slower pace, and at the graduate level the pace is even slower than thetraining initiatives at the undergraduate level.

They include understanding the engineering profession and specificdisciplines, developing an academic plan and student success skills as well as an appreciation ofworkplace behavior and teamwork. One of the greatest strengths of the course is the opportunityfor new students to network and develop friendships in their first year of the program. While it isrequired for the NSF scholars, on average 90 students enroll in the course over each academicyear. This is roughly 40% of the first year ECS student population.

In architecture, it is necessary to make relationsbetween theoretical aspects and concepts with much more practical and technicalapplications. Thus, the requirement of having a broad comprehension of topics and therelations between them is fundamental. Through mind maps, graphic relations can be madebetween the several topics covered on a course.

Researchers have worked to identify predictors of STEM persistence,both before matriculation and after. A student’s level of academic success before matriculation isa strong predictor of STEM persistence. These predictors include standardized test scores andtaking calculus in high school [9], [10].Research has found that, after matriculation, a student’s likelihood to complete an undergraduatedegree was linked to a student’s level of academic and social integration.
