For example, we could choose some areasin the country that have the greatest number of warehousing and distribution centers. These areashave vastly different cultures and environments. This way, the results of the study would includea better reflection of how the future of work would impact varying cultures, thus providing abetter insight into how employees and managers would be willing to accept the changes neededto incorporate new technologies into the work environment.References:[1] S.

In aninterdisciplinary project, participants work jointly to address a common problem applying theirown disciplinary perspective. Transdisciplinarity is achieved when participants from differentfield jointly develop and use a unified and holistic concept, theories and methodology for aunique problem. Multi-, Inter- and Transdisciplinary reflect a continuum of increasing levels ofinvolvement by multiple disciplines [6]. Interdisciplinarity will be used here in a general sense toinclude inter, multi, and transdisciplinarity (see Figure 2). 4

The intent was to better understandhow students, who are uncertain about their choice of major at the start of the fall semester, cometo a decision about which major to declare. And why some students who are more confident oftheir intended major at the start of the semester end up changing their intended major. Theprimary question being asked is: What can the 1st-year engineering program do to better aid students in their choice of major?An estimated 40% of entering 1st-year engineering students are uncertain about their choice ofmajor [1]. This was reflected in the number of 1st-year students at Binghamton University asreported in a survey they were given in

Reflection has shown that myexperience with dial-up internet has lingered in how I see web design. Working with youngerpeople led to a course design that was closer to what my students needed.3) Having a common lexicon with young graphic designers needed intentional communication.We were six weeks into design before we settled on what load, phase, and cycle would mean.

However,engineering programs could interpret Student Outcome 7 as relating to the acquisition ofknowledge within the engineering profession. For example, a performance indicator could be tomeasure students’ ability to research and acquire engineering standards. In addition, thisperformance indicator would support the requirement for the implementation of engineeringstandards as a part of the curriculum’s design experience. Estes et al.

. Modern media and academic sources have repeatedlyreported the stress and impacts of an education crisis. Students of all ages have beenasked to isolate and learn without the social support of their classmates and teachers.The grief over the loss of community has been noted and described with reports ofemotional, mental, and physical distress [1]. The grief being described in the ongoingreports equates to a trauma, and while trauma can imply a psychological injury it can initself become a mental health problem [7]. As the pandemic overtakes its one-yearanniversary, educators must reflect on the potential impacts from the prolongedisolation and loss on both individuals and communities and those impacts on the futureof higher education.

It is interestingthat the first-year students scored lower in faculty assessment in the same two topics that theyperceived as being less essential to their semester project. Additional research is needed todetermine if these trends are also observed in future offerings of the course. If studentsunderstand the importance of these technologies as they relate to the semester project, there maybe more commitment to achieving proficiency.This research provides reflection for department faculty
