Some introductory physics textbooks17-20 skip the64 Clausius theorem altogether, and derive RHE efficiency starting from ∆S=0. Others derive the Clausius65 theorem from RHE efficiency21, which is presented as the upper limit of efficiency (without

Living off-campus can have implications in student success 35. Off-campushousing requires students to keep track of additional expenses, such as rent, groceries, and utilitybills. This living situation can also make access to student services more challenging becausestudents must travel to campus to access the services. The commuter student demographic beganto expand in the 1960’s, and has yet to see a decline 36. Access to course materials for commuterstudents have improved since the inception of learning management systems (e.g., BlackBoard)that provide electronic access to course

While the state licensure bodies monitor the professional conduct of the engineers,professional engineering bodies like National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) andAmerican Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) insist and expect their members to have goodmoral character and ethical integrity (NSPE, 2016; ASCE, 2012).However, the ethical contact and the professionalism of an engineer do not start with theengineer’s first assignment as a graduate engineer, but with what this individual learns inclassrooms as an engineering student and how s|he gets trained as an engineering intern.

need is by using teams (Varvel, Adams,Pridie, & Ruiz Ulloa, 2004). Organizations recognize the importance for employees tounderstand how to work effectively with others, but also express that new employees do notbring adequate teaming skills to the workplace (S. Adams & Ruiz, 2004; Pascarella &Terenzini, 2005). Despite calls to promote teamwork as “an indispensable quality forengineering”(Lingard & Barkataki, 2011) engineering schools have been generally slow indeveloping pedagogies that successfully promote collaborative behaviors. Several initiativeshave been done in engineering education -like project-based learning and team-basedlearning to try to promote teamwork skills (Felder & Brent, 2009; Prince, 2004). However

engineering studentparticipation but the association with success outcomes for non-Black student members is also afuture area of interest. Additional insights into quantitative relationships can be gained by graded categorizationof NSBE membership that accounts for factors such as number of years of involvement, whenthey first joined the organization (e.g. freshman vs later years), level of involvement, and otherstudent success outcomes (e.g. GPA). Exploring how and why particular associations exist canalso be supported by more rigorous qualitative explorations of NSBE members decisions topersist or leave engineering and/or the organization and what unique role NSBE played in thesedecisions.References[1] D.

The tensions on either side of the pulley are not equal because the angular accelerationof the pulley is affected by the torque. The initial parameter values are: 10-kg incline-mass, 50-kg hanging-mass, pulley moment of inertia 20-kg-m-sq, pulley radius 0.3-m, coefficient of kineticfriction 0.2, and 35-degree slope angle. The system acceleration value was calculated as 1.47m/s/s. Changing the hanging-mass values or the incline-mass values would yield variousacceleration values using Newton’s law of motion. Adding random values would simulate labdata with

Student Feedback and Assessment MethodThe following survey questions were given to students and the results are shown below eachquestion. A five-point Likert scale was used (1: Strongly Disagree, 2: Disagree, 3: Neutral, 4:Agree, 5: Strongly Agree). Students were asked to assess how well the outcomes were met. Thetotal number of students who completed the survey was 21. Learning Outcomes: By the end of the lab, students should be able to: 1) Understand that a solar panel can produce an output voltage and current (or energy) when facing a light source. 1: S.
