-learning systems [21]. To assess students’learning styles, this study used the Visual, Aural, Read/Write, or Kinesthetic (VARK) learningstyles inventory which is a questionnaire consists of 16 items used to assess the respondent’slearning style [21]. The study also used the Dixion scale to measure students’ engagement usingthe adaptive or non-adaptive e-learning system; this scale includes the factors of skills,participation/interaction, performance, and emotion [21]. This study found that students wholearned through the adaptive system learned more, reflected by their engagement scale responsesand overall course outcomes. While this study does not model the relationship between students’learning styles and intentions to use, has a small sample

incorporated into the class to help students toaddress these questions. The lab experimentation provided students with a hands-on opportunity to assess the biological impact of various biomaterials. Through thisexperiment, students gained practical skills in experimental design, data analysis,and interpretation, fostering a deeper understanding of biomaterials beyondtheoretical concepts. The inclusion of ethical considerations in the biomaterialcurriculum was addressed through a debate. This encouraged students to reflect onthe societal implications of biomaterials research, fostering a sense of responsibilityand ethical awareness among future practitioners.The study employed both qualitative and quantitative assessment methods,including pre- and post

self-advocacy processes. A brief reflective assignment that asks allstudents to consider personal assets and challenges that they are facing in their collegiatejourneys might be beneficial. The FYED course already introduces students to social styles, andthis information is often used in teaming. The instructional team could consider whether thisexercise could be modified to introduce other diversity characteristics and specifically addressneurodivergence and potentially mental health issues. The faculty development series forinstructors could also introduce topics related to ND and encourage faculty to integrate UDLprinciples.AppendixSurvey items to measure teamwork experiences during the semester (response options): Rate your experience on

In engineering programs, research is an excellent way ofproviding project-based learning opportunities to students while working toward meaningfulgoals that have the potential to change society for the better.In this paper, we describe the efforts of a team of undergraduate mechanical engineering studentsin creating and demonstrating an experimental silicone venous valve model and flow controlsystem for use in future scientific research aimed at ultimately reducing the impact of awidespread but often unseen disease.

cases are any indication, capitalism serves as a breeding ground for those who aspireto great wealth. “Greed is good” preaches a ruthless Gordon Gecko in the 1987 film Wall Street[71], reflecting a world view of exploitation, cheating—whatever it takes to make heaps ofmoney and feed an individual’s self-interest. Harris and Blanck certainly, and with no apparentmoral qualms, engaged in worker exploitation, as did U.S. Steel. Our own times are marked bythe emergence of the “uber-rich,” such as Elon Musk (net worth: $264 billion) and Jeff Bezos(net worth: $152 billion) [72]. While some, such as Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, liberallycontribute to social causes, others simply take the money and run.While greed is surely associated with capitalism

Out-of-date books and redundant information would be a thing of the past.Although Easton had not suggested that libraries would soon be obsolete, the ESLC’s 1964program reflected an understandable level of anxiety among engineering librarians.

For Page 15.1008.5 example, salary data of alumni would be a more easily secured proxy measure for alumni success than more direct measures of the latter. Clearly salary data, unless carefully conditioned, would reflect the large inequities and differential pay scales of varying careers.

The student teams bid on the proposed projects and the course instructor matches teamsto projects based on their bids. Therefore, since Prof. Weitnauer clearly indicated in herproposals that the capstone projects would require built prototypes that would be used in theNovember exhibit, and she was the primary advisor, the Fall 2022 capstone students were eagerto not only produce a prototype, but do so early, so it could be included in the exhibit.

This, however, required much creativity, advance planning, preparation, and proof of concept development on the part of the instructor.5. Planning An online digital logic laboratory course could not be successful by merely putting together a good collection of parts/ICs in a kit and relying on students to use ad-hoc methods to build and more importantly test and debug the circuits. Identifying a complete set of physical parts and suitable software is only a small part of what is needed. Upon careful reflection, the following objectives deemed critical if the course were to be successful: o A methodic approach for

However, students learn that occasional failure and mistakes are part of the creative and innovative processes rather than a discouragement to an adventurous spirit. They learn to reflect on and to evaluate their experiences and to work with others to improve on those experiences, so as to come up with better or new ways of doing things.” [8]Typically, learning outcomes are used to describe knowledge and skill competencies thatstudents should attain from their learning.
