fromlinear algebra alongside Python and Numpy.Many undergraduate programs include artificial intelligence (AI) or embedded systems in theirCS curricula [9, 10, 11, 12]. However, the authors could not find a course that would combineboth topics. As the AI algorithms make their way into wearables, smart phones and Internet ofThings (IoT) devices, having experience in real-time AI algorithms will benefit students in theirprofessional careers.The course is still under preparation and is planned to be offered in the summer of 2018. We aresharing our work-in-progress that illustrates the development of the labs for EAI. Two differentforms of learning were taken into consideration: “top down” approach, where the student beginswith a fully functional model
engages critical design concepts, andintroduces as many analytical methods as possible, while not overwhelming students with moreinformation than they can digest. Basic circuit analysis and introductory statics meets thesecriteria. Both subjects involve basic engineering design and problem solving methods that spanthe entire discipline of engineering. Beyond analytical skills, design development wasimplemented by teaching introductory SolidWorks CAD techniques along with Arduinoprogramming. Both build a foundation for logical thinking and develop planning skills. Once thestudents complete the first half of the semester, they have a set of skills that enable them to worktogether to complete a multidisciplinary project, completely utilizing all of

Students in these cross-disciplinary teams learn how to work together, how to combine engineering and science principles inproblem solving and they gain the confidence and leadership opportunities they will need to solveproblems when they leave UHD.II. CurriculumSeveral years ago the CUAS developed curriculum in support of a new Minor in Sustainability. Often aminor in sustainability is limited to specific programs or specific students such as those in anenvironmental engineering, biology or urban planning. Because the courses require numerous pre-requisites within the majors, these minors are for all practical purposes out of
DevelopmentGoals. In 2015, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution for 2030 that included SustainableDevelopment Goals (SDGs). These SDGs have prompted changes to the engineering field to solvethese broad issues by increasing the capabilities and capacity of engineering through theinvolvement of young, student populations. It also prompts a change in engineering education tofocus more on sustainability in the curriculum [18].One final solution is the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Strategic Plan. The NSF hassupported multiple engineering education programs, such as Engineering Research Centers(ERCs) as well as the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU). The main goal of theseprograms is to support research opportunities for students in
engineering practices, primarily focusing on team-basedactivities to promote professional engineering communication, along with helping students createa qualification plan to develop their undergraduate and professional goals in engineering. TheTRUE Capstone projects focus on preparing students for professional engineering problems byincorporating industry partners into the project decision process in order to identify real-worldproblems and solutions for the Capstone teams.In accordance with the RED ideology, a group of students, mentored by an engineeringeducation researcher, decided to apply Participatory Action Research (PAR) to study the role ofnew changes in the department. In this paper, we present the investigation led by one of

Teachers were supportiveand recommended expanding the program to other schools.We adapted a college-level lab experience to make it more accessible to high school students andenhanced the campus tour to provide them with a holistic view of university life. We have foundthat the key takeaway from this initiative is the ease and success of the endeavor. Our programrepresents a new contribution to pre-college engineering education by providing high schoolstudents with hands-on exposure to engineering concepts and a glimpse into life as collegestudents. Our future plans include making this an annual event, expanding it to other schools andstudent communities, and improving non-lab activities to

Additionally, theprogram will be promoted through regional robot competitions and the Annual Science Fair heldin the County. The PRA-TTSI team aims to enroll ten students into the program during the 3rdyear of the grant period. Furthermore, the recruitment efforts of the PRA-TTSI program willspecifically target women, low-income individuals, and traditionally underrepresentedminorities, as outlined in the detailed plan provided in Table 6.Project TimelineThe departments of admissions, financial aid, academic support services, as well as theengineering and technology department will collaborate to ensure compliance with the NSF-ATErequirements for the program.

They gave advice that meant a lot as well.” ● “They introduced interesting new concepts that are beneficial to my career.” ● “Being able to create connections with people outside of my major. In the pumpkin demo, we were able to interact with our presenter and learn some cool stuff at the same time.” Students who indicated that the various seminars were useful
development of new STEM majors, particularly in emerging fields such asengineering, computer science, and information technology, emerges as imperative for fosteringSTEM growth at Keiser University. Addressing these challenges head-on is paramount tocultivating a more inclusive and supportive environment that empowers all students to pursue andpersist in STEM disciplines.As it is clear from tables 3 and 4, the major drawback are the retention and graduation rates forboth STEM and non-STEM majors. . In order to address the issue, a comprehensive mentoringplan will be the developed in the coming year.The proposed mentoring plan utilizes the mentors (a) To serve in an academic support role inwhich they will provide one-to-one or very small group

(Student Learning Outcomes) using abachelor's and master's ACCE accredited Construction Management program based in the NewEngland region. However, the authors had to exclude the ABET evaluation due to time constraintsand a lack of data from the selected university. They plan to include it as a future expansion of thisresearch, with collaborative opportunities from other universities.The goal of the paper is to create a framework for XR (extended reality) that can be utilized byeducators in AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) institutions to implement XR-basedactivities. These activities can assist in evaluating the student learning outcomes (SLOs) necessaryfor ACCE accreditation. The XR-SLO framework will provide educators with a
historical example, create or selectlearning objectives and design exercises to help students identify inequities created byinfrastructure, understand the historical context of that infrastructure, and plan for solutions thataddress the remediation of infrastructure inequities. As the framework is being developed, theauthors are testing its effectiveness and adaptability by creating lessons based on case studies.The framework as well as the lessons created will be available through the CIT-E Canvas page toall interested instructors.IntroductionThe Center for Infrastructure Transformation and Education (CIT-E, pronounced “city”) is acommunity of practice (CoP) for those interested in supporting and improving the scholarship ofinfrastructure education

-testdemonstrates that inexperienced students still passed at nearly the same rate as students with priorexperience. The high withdraw rate suggests that engineering students that enter a first-yearprogramming course without having completed an advanced computer science course in highschool may be at a significant disadvantage to students that have had this opportunity. In addition,although nearly seventy percent of students attending public high schools in the state of Michiganhave access to at least one computer science course, it needs to be better understood as to whymore students planning to pursue engineering in college are not enrolling in these courses.BackgroundComputer science education has been a topic of discussion since the mid twentieth
