-year programs in engineering andtechnology providing capstone experience to students (1-4). An open-ended engineering designand product development problem with constraints provide sufficient challenges to students indeveloping skills in all aspects of engineering, including project management. In this regard,projects sponsored by industries are a boon to students and colleges. Often, industries support theirprojects with funding, materials including access to their experts (5-7). Now, it is up to studentsand project advisor(s), prudently use this opportunity, to deliver a successful project. This can beachieved with hard work and dedication by project teams. Several documented research shows thatfriendly rivalry among competing teams produce

successfulretention efforts of graduate programs across disciplines [5]. ConclusionsThe collective efforts of faculty, staff and graduate students in our program have increased ourcapacity to support students from diversity groups at all stages of the admissions process.Fundamental to our process is a core belief that diversity in biomedical engineering as a field is aprerequisite to a competent and effective workforce, and that it is our duty and responsibility toensure that our admissions practices are not acting as a gatekeeper.References[1] R.

For the initial cohort, the programdevelopers expected that the process would be primarily related to the number of applications.After our research results showed Cohort 1’s success was more dependent on personalconnections with a company, networking with companies was given a strong focus throughout2020. Networking was a stronger focus in the training for students in successive cohorts andthey had greater opportunities to connect with companies through Bell Program sponsored

The students applied these encryptiontechniques by making ROS messages that used symmetric encryption on their payloads. At theend of this first semester, students presented the key aspects from cybersecurity and autonomythat would be relevant to solve the challenge problem in the second semester.In the second semester, we set up an agile-lite development process and meeting schedule

ECE Award for Outstanding Senior Design ProjectSince 2004 when changes to the senior design format were made, it was observed that studentteams were undertaking more advanced projects even though these projects required more effort.These advanced projects result in very successful outcomes. To reward these projects and thedesign team members, in 2008 an ‘ECE Award for Outstanding Senior Design’ was introduced.

At the same time, the post-interventionscores were improved in our case compared to the downshift present in the reference.Acknowledging the limitations in sample size and high variability, several possible explanationscome to mind. First, the identical set of students assessed may have facilitated more consistencyin the pre/post comparison than the independent tests. Another possible factor may be the classsize: smaller, discussion-based course vs. an assumed larger class. Or perhaps timing was apossibility: 2nd semester sophomore course vs. 1st semester freshmen course. Lastly, liberal artsinstitutions, for whatever reason(s), are the only

Thelongitudinal study will be conducted in two schemes. The first scheme will compare the
