The winter quarter covers computedtomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The spring quarter covers nuclear medicine(radiopharmaceuticals, planar radionuclide imaging, single-photon emission computed tomography(SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET)) and ultrasound.

, eliminating the meaning of an expert on the topic. Historically,education methods tend to evaluate grades as ordinary targets rather than using the grading system as themeasurement tool of the students' learning. When implemented correctly, self-directed learning withinprojects puts challenging learning first rather than the binary pass or fail credits [1]. All the while,professors need to set the level of expectation on the topic and let students pace themselves. If the studentcan spark their own passion rather than a professor force-feeding material, more questions may be askedleading towards further understanding. After all, the professor is the expert on the material; therefore,SDL can only add responsibility towards learning for everyone

conventional water treatment techniques to mitigate cHABs events thatoccur massively and irregularly. The application of technologies for HABs mitigation is limiteddue to the following reasons: 1) Scalable and efficient technology is critical. Increasing thetreatment capacity up to lake scale while keeping low capital cost and energy consumptionrequires more research in field application; 2) Potential technologies need to act as emergentresponse to the cHABs. Due to the environmental factors mentioned above, the periodic bloomscan rapidly occur and then disappear when the local conditions do not favor their growth. So, atreatment process with high removal efficiency is needed to react to the cHABs during monthsperiod; 3) Ecological affects are another

This study found that Black women are scarcely represented in Both STEM and no-STEM roles in the science fiction films. Moreover, in the sample of films analyzed for this study,Black women have not been cast in a lead or co-lead role in any film.

Although women faculty in engineering haveovercome such challenges throughout their academic career, they continue to face challengesrelated to gender disparities in academic environments [3]. On the other hand, their condition asminorities in male dominated areas can be evaluated as an advantage given the presence ofstrategies for their advancement, such as affirmative action [4].

As careers and global jobmarkets continue to evolve and expand, so too does the need for more diverse perspectives andqualified individuals to engage in both new and existing engineering and technological roles [4].This need has led to an enhanced research effort in STEM engagement during younger years(e.g., elementary and middle school) to better understand how children’s early experiences withSTEM may influence their interest in various disciplines and educational or career pathways [5].This effort has been challenging, particularly for the field of

The framework of such integration forperson-centered education in engineering courses could potentially enable students to acquire self-reflective competencies and self-motivated problem solving.

It wasdetermined that the best way to meet this cost constraint would be to minimize both the overallsize and the complexity of the materials tester while still maintaining maximum functionality,efficiency, and overarching design objectives; a hand-operated materials tester with translatingcrossheads was thus chosen. Although this eliminated the possibility of testing high-strengthmetals and ceramics, the materials testing machine still maintained the ability to test materialswith strength up to that of mild steel, while the simplicity significantly reduced cost.

As currently accepted, technologyis a corpus of sociohistorically contextualized knowledge that embodies its creator’s culture,opening the door to diverse engineering conceptions [1]. In that sense, if a monolithicperspective of engineering continues, it is possible to consider technology as one kind of materialmanifestation of the engineering subculture, which includes only one set of shared commongoals, particular priorities, beliefs, values, and the specific jargon
