Coastal Resiliency provides studentsan exposure to best practices in civil engineering, climate science, community planning andpolicy. At CGA, no one faculty member has expertise in these collective arenas however, as ateam, the combined knowledge of three faculty members, and several guest lecturers, has beenleveraged to annually teach a course that educates future Coast Guard Officers and civilengineers about the challenges ahead for coastal communities.

It is important to define achievable and reasonable rubrics that thestudents can understand and achieve successfully.The capstone course in the School of Engineering Technology, which is in the Purdue Polytechnic Instituteat Purdue University, is offered over two academic semesters. The needed skills to define, design anddevelop engineering technology solutions are introduced and developed. Planning and designingalternatives that meet cost, performance, and user-interface goals are emphasized while consideringdifferent design approaches. In addition, project planning, scheduling, and management techniques arestudied. Teamwork, global and societal concerns, and professional ethics are integrated into course

The paper presents three projects for autonomous mobile robots on the MATLAB-ROS- Gazebo simulation platform. The first project is on sensing and perception of laser scan data and its post-processing of model-based fitting. The second project is on the path planning of an autonomous mobile robot implementing the Wavefront algorithm. The third project obtains closed-loop control of the robot’s behavior based on visual hints. These three projects cover the fundamental components of controlling an autonomous mobile robot, including sensing, perception, decision-making, and low-level motion control. We believe

A pre-/post-assessment was conducted for abiology lesson. Results indicate students improved in their knowledge of sustainability issuesrelated to food waste and aerobic respiration. Students also self-reported learning more aboutsustainability, engineering, and biology concepts through the lesson. Perhaps most importantly,students were excited about the hands-on learning experience provided by the digester andexpressed increased interest in engineering and STEM-related careers.I.

One of these schools, Rachel Freeman Elementary, gets the majority of its students from a nearby subsidized housing project. This year, the school is over 85% African American and over 75% of the students qualify for the federal free and reduced price lunch program.
