completed the survey near the end of each school term, with the Winter termsurveys completed in March 2023, and the Spring term surveys completed in June 2023. TheMECH-431 courses were complete by the time the survey was taken by enrolled students, so theywere able to reflect on the course as a whole at the time of completing the surveys.4.1 HypothesisResults are determined in this study by inductive reasoning. Based on the results of the literaturereview, it is clear that some dynamics systems and controls undergraduate laboratory courses atother institutions have effectively employed hands-on laboratory exercises at low cost. Therefore,a reasonable resulting hypothesis is that low cost physical laboratory experiments can beemployed effectively in

This commitment to a shift in the educationalapproach within MSE departments is highlighted in the strategic plan of the National Scienceand Technology Council’s Materials Genome Initiative, which posits that the next generation ofthe MSE workforce will need to master three competencies: experimentation, data management,and computation [4].MSE educators have worked to construct educational offerings that develop competencies in theareas identified by the Materials Genome Initiative.

This question was derived from previous work that quantitatively exploredundergraduate engineering identity and recognition beliefs [11] and specifically uses thephrasing “see you as an engineer” to keep questions in the participants’ language [37]. The open-ended nature of the focus groups allowed for follow-up questions and permitted researchers togather rich details about participants’ experiences to go beyond whether they do or do notbelieve others saw them as an engineer and to better explore the qualities of experiences that ledto these beliefs. Questions relevant to this study are presented in Table 1.Table 1: Focus

limitation is mostlikely due to the FPGA’s ability to connect two ALMs during the routing process, where a wirewith a width larger than 1120 cannot be connected between two ALMs. The data we report onlygoes up to a maximum bit-width of 1024, so this limitation is not reflected in our graphs. Also,the Goldschmidt divider has a smaller range than the other dividers because it was not able tosynthesize above a width of 244. This is due to the limited number of DSP blocks.4.1 AreaThe FPGA used in these tests is the 5CGXFC9E7F35C8 from the Cyclone V line. This FPGA ischosen due to its large amount of available ALMs and DSP blocks. The maximum ALMs that ourFPGA has in this study is 113,560.

Additionally,Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Industrial Engineering (IE) students showed lowercollaborative learning beliefs compared to their counterparts in Electrical and ComputerEngineering (ECE).

The inclusion of ethical considerations in the biomaterialcurriculum was addressed through a debate.

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].
