The service initiative, and the service component is very powerful as long as we have good projects; and they can be well integrated into the courses.”To Increase Student Motivation to Learn: 95% of the faculty members expressed their interestin service-learning primarily because they viewed it as a way to motivate students to learn. Intheir view, students become more motivated to learn and to develop technical skills when thelearning goes beyond the classroom. Therefore, service-learning was viewed as a value-addedteaching strategy to enhance student learning of engineering content. As such, they weremotivated to use service-learning

Two GaN HEMT’s are used in these investigations for PA design, and being modeled using theNitronex/Macom-NPT series [6] and Triquint/Qorvo-TGF series [7] High Frequency (HF) transistor S-parameters. To model the device, the two port S-parameters of NPT series transistor are de-embedded fromGaN HEMT biased at 28 V with 50 mA IDQ current, to establish Quiescent point using ADS parameterextraction tools. Similarly the ADS model for second stage, the TGF series GaN HEMT biased at 28 V with50 mA IDQ current is being de-embedded by using manufacturer datasheet and files made available byQorvo Inc. The calculations for maximum available gain and stability circles in ADS environment areexecuted for the

The framework has been used to guide how weconceptualize sociotechnical engineering.

One is ourglobal competence assessment framework formed by combining the Miville-GuzmanUniversality-Diversity Scale - Short Form (MGUDS-S) and SIT’s student satisfaction survey.It will be used to evaluate participants’ global competence as well as to investigateweaknesses in the design of the online gPBL program. The other new tool is a new method ofassessing students’ level of engagement in group work based on an analysis of students’activity within the Slack collaboration platform.

This acknowledged(’-s) course is a required,three-credit, first semester, capstone course for all senior mechanical engineering students. The course wasdesigned around the concept of providing our students with a taste of real mechanical engineering bychallenging them with small open-ended projects of industrial origin. The course focuses on defining andsolving problems of engineering value by experimental methods, integrating the necessary fundamentalprinciples learned in previous theoretical-oriented classes. Thus, the course is able to aide the mechanicalengineering student in bridging the gap between the abstractness of academia and the practicality of industry. The majority of

MPCT is integrated into afreshman-level entering students program that aims at retaining students by responding to the academicrecruitment and attrition challenges of computer science and other STEM disciplines.This course is intendedto provide meaningful experiences of relevance to students choosing majors that also fortifies theirqualitative understandings of foundational math and physics concepts.

These journals constituted 15 % of the final course grade. At projectcompletion, journals were collected and coded according to the scheme in Table 1, with timesassigned according to the start / end times recorded.

many project alternatives that exist for cornerstone courses ([2]), the authors have lookedtowards a service-learning project as a means of achieving their course‟s design learningobjectives [6,7]. Service-learning is defined as a “method under which students learn anddevelop through active participation in thoughtfully organized service” [8]. In the context ofengineering design courses, projects centered in service-learning typically feature the studentteams designing a product or process that meets the needs of a community partner in need.Service-learning activities are becoming more prevalent in engineering curricula as instructorsdiscover that their pedagogical objectives of problem solving, working in groups, andexperiential learning

The interfaces and theirimplementations for stable concepts can be made available as reusable services.

theproportional representation issue does not actually create an inclusive environment supportive ofstudent success [5-7]. Just as equality does not equal equity [8]; parity does not equal inclusion[6, 9]. Hurtado and colleagues (2012) pointed out how compositional diversity is only one factorin creating a diverse learning environment [10]. Efforts designed to increase compositionaldiversity neglect the experiences and different combinations of barriers that individuals mustconfront. "Underrepresented" could also be considered a form of spot-lighting, of continuouslyreminding students that each of them is a "representative" for their social identity group(s) [11].This socially-taxing language reminds individuals that their group is judged by the
