Figure 4 showshow the average score on the Tensile Test Lab for all the sections in the Spring of 2020compared to the historical average, and Figure 5 shows the results for the overall grade in theclass. From Figure 4, the sections in the Spring of 2020 performed slightly better on the TensileTest Lab than 2019’s course averages, and yet from Figure 5, the final grade in the course wasslightly lower than the historical averages. This may be due to the transition

After the students were with their second mentor, we broadcasted the next conversationprompt. We did a total of five rounds, so that by the end of the session, each student had spokento five mentors. We used the following conversation prompts for each round: 1) Which would you choose? And, why? ● Option A: one year with Oprah ● Option B: one year with Bill Gates ● Option C: $1,000,000 2) Exchange your career hopes. 3) Share about an academic or professional experience you are proud of. 4) In what positive way(s) have you grown and changed during the shelter-at-home experience?

difficulty in their use. Before the question of how this alienation has developedis addressed directly, it is first necessary to review thecurrent procedures by which civil engineering undergraduatesare introduced to computers. All civil engineering undergraduatecurriculums have one or possibly two core courses which aredirected towards the learning of at least one computerlanguage. The writing and running of some simple programs isassociated with the course(s). The formal computer educationnormally finishes at this point and any further developmentin computer skills depends on the personal interest 40of individual students in the taking of other advanced computercourse electives or the continued exposure to
utilize it in the classroom. GENERAL APPROACH AND PHILOSOPHY Michigan Tech's computer graphics effort approachesgraphics usage and capability at three levels. 1) Micro computer based graphics systems for broad usage in the classroom both for demonstration and hands on experience.These system/lab networks are being developed primarily atthe departmental level with requisite software and peripheraldevices tailored to individual departmental needs. Apples,TRS-80's, Tetak's, and Cromemcos would be examples. 168 2) Mini and super mini based graphics systems at the departmental/college level (with emphasis on the latter) for driving sophisticated state of the art graphics

the DCIThe idea for a DCI began at a Mini-Conference on Undergraduate Education in Dynamics,Vibrations, and Strength of Materials that occurred in September 2002 [1]. The Force ConceptInventory (FCI) had been around since the early 1990’s and was recognized as beingsuccessful in spurring innovation in physics education [2]. At this meeting, participants agreedthat a Dynamics Concept Inventory could potentially provide the same benefits for dynamicsinstruction. A DCI team was formed and first met at the Concept Inventory Workshop at the2002 Frontiers in Education Conference in Boston (November 2002). The NSF-fundedFoundation Coalition was a key driver behind the development of the DCI and other conceptinventories.The DCI was developed using a

This initial conclusion drives the point thatveterans are an asset in the classroom and that leveraging their professionalism, leadership skills,and adaptability can have a positive influence on non-veteran student academics. Future work willfollow additional veterans to increase the study’s sample size and to enhance the ability to performa statistical analysis on the results. Additionally, the authors are looking to expand the research toinclude findings from other institutions to study the broader impacts of veteran presence in theclassroom.References[1] M. Kirchner, L.
