], the reviews done by students are themselves reviewed byother students, to give students an incentive to submit good reviews. In this case, no student mayreview his own work, nor may (s)he review her own review. A mapping that satisfies theseconstraints is called a “valid” mapping.2. Overview of our strategyThe basic idea of this algorithm is similar to the banker’s algorithm [SGG 01] used for resourceallocation in operating systems.Definition 1. A mapping assignment of a reviewer to a reviewee is valid if it does not cause areviewer to review his/her own submission, and leaves sufficient valid mapping assignments forall future reviewers.Definition 2. A mapping assignment is invalid either if it does not leave enough valid mappingassignments

Figures 2b and 2d depict the blocking factors for the courses in the illustratedcurricula.Combining these analyses, we introduce a metric to define the cruciality of a course i, denotedCi , as the aggregate of its blocking and delay factors: Ci = Vi + LiThe curriculum’s overall complexity, S, is then calculated as the sum of the cruciality values forall courses: m X S= Ci (1) 1 (a
EnvE sub-discipline areas, state their own area(s) ofgreatest interest, and identify an employer in this area and a project they have worked on usingthe Web as a resource. Students could use the BOK to help them define EnvE and answer otherquestions on this assignment. Later in Homework 4 the students plot out a course plan tograduation that meets the requirements for the EnvE B.S. degree at the University of Colorado atBoulder. The student then mapped these courses in their 4-year EnvE degree plan onto theABET criteria for engineering and program-specific criteria for EVEN. This indicated if thecoverage of the required content in our curriculum was obvious to the students or not
undergraduate women in engineering approaches the issue interms of persistence or retention, examining factors influencing women‟s choices of major andcareer. Originally this work was driven by alarming data suggesting that women leaveengineering at higher rates than men.1,2 More recent studies suggest that women and men leaveengineering at equal rates during the college years.3,4Factors influencing persistence and attrition are often similar for men and women, but there aresome important differences. For example, Atman5 reported data from the Academic PathwaysStudy in which seniors identified motivating factors in their decisions to study engineering.Intrinsic psychological factors (liking engineering as a subject or field) and intrinsic

Therefore, a simulated VRenvironment is well suited for this learning purpose.We integrate VR, gamification with reinforcement learning to provide a holistic remote learningexperience. We create a VR learning environment simulating a manufacturing paradigm calledcraft production. The VR learning environment is built in the Unity game engine with the OculusRift S VR system for navigation and motion tracking. In the VR environment, students seethrough the headset a factory composed of a series of workstations. For the task, students areasked to design and assemble toy cars using plastic components.

life cycle engineering has been developed based on this approach through a multi-university research project, entitled “Constructionism in Learning: Sustainable Life CycleEngineering (CooL:SLiCE).” The pedagogic significance of CooL:SLiCE is that it enables betterlearning within the sustainable engineering domain by utilizing effective learning modules forpersonalized environmentally responsible product design. The CooL:SLiCE platform provides aweb-based portal with three learning modules: 1) Visualization and online computer-aideddesign (CAD), 2) Sustainable product architecture and supplier selection (S-PASS), and 3)Manufacturing analysis.

some withdrawal from an area where aquifersconstitute a major portion of water supply for other purposes. Likewise, injection of an oxidantwith the leach solution causes valence and phase changes of indigenous elements such as As, Cu,Mo, Se, S, and V, as well as U, thereby increasing the aqueous concentrations of these species aswell. A question of major concern at ISR mining sites is how to restore the groundwater to itsoriginal chemical composition. Restoration is necessary to reduce the amounts of undesiredchemical constituents left in solution after mining operations and thus to return the groundwaterto a quality consistent with pre-mining use and potential use. One promising approach torestoring groundwater quality at ISR sites is to
representing the stator core loss; jxM – the impedance representing the mutual flux shared by the stator and rotor windings; and r2/s – the resistance representing the rotor resistance and shaft load - both reflected to the stator.The relative magnitudes are as follows: r1, r2, jx1, and jx2 are of the same order of magnitude andusually much less than unity (the larger the machine, the smaller the values); jx M is almost twoorders of magnitude larger than the jx2; and rfe is usually several times larger than jxM. Theelement rfe is disregarded more often than not by authors when numerical examples areconsidered; with rfe removed, the resulting model has been referred to in the literature as theSteinmetz Model.

The categories for the code sheet were ethnicity, race, gender, language(s), generationin the U.S., generation in college, and institution (college-only). When reviewing each article,the authors noted how each category was used for the purpose of data analysis. Additionally, inthe review of each article, the authors also noted the main conclusions of each study as theserelated to the status of Latinxs in engineering.

system model, given the system transfer function.Open-loop mass-spring-damper systemA mass-spring-damper mechanical system10 excited by an external force (f) is shown in Figure 1.This second-order system can be mathematically modeled as a position (x) control system withobject mass (m), viscous friction coefficient (b), and spring constant (k) as parameters. Based ona free-body diagram, the system differential equation is expressed in (1). Using LaplaceTransform, this time-domain equation leads to a position-to-external force transfer functiongiven by equation (2). Once the transfer function is derived, a set of parameter values (m = 0.1kg, b = 1 N*s/m and k = 2 N/m) is used to obtain the system transfer function shown in (3

“The practice of gaining supervised practical experience is nothing new” [1]. Internshipsas part of a formal education program can trace its roots back to the Middle Ages where it wascommon practice to learn a trade under the direct supervision of a master craftsman. Apprenticesoften had to agree to “pay back” their employer by agreeing to work for a certain period of timeonce they were considered fully trained. In the early days, most, if not all of the training wasdone on the job, with little formal theoretical education. By the early 1900’s, experiential learning had established itself at institutions of highereducation in several fields. The clinical training programs for medical students were recognizedas a key component in

Students indicated the title(s) of Design Heuristic(s)incorporated into their concepts during the idea generation session. For example, a directapplication of Provide sensory feedback in a design concept would be to add lights to indicatehow much force a doctor is exerting while using a medical device. For each individual concept,we documented students’ reported use of heuristics as well as how they applied the heuristic(s)they reported.Subsequently, we analyzed the extent to which heuristic-driven ideas from individuals werepresent in team-selected ideas.
