The changing nature of design problems3.1 Defining engineering design and complex engineering problemsThe general criteria for Student Outcomes (1) through (7) in accrediting engineering programs, 2020-2021, describe students’ ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex problems with considerations of“public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economicfactors” (“ABET”, 2019, p. 5). In addition, the Accreditation Board puts the responsibility on faculty inengineering programs to develop and implement experiences for students which integrate

However, code quality and resulting game functionalityremained similar to previous years. In 2019, student code averaged 1.7 classes per game (n=31),and in 2020 student code averaged 2.23 classes per game (n=22). Figure 5, shown below, showsan

The project capitalizes on theDepartment’s strong connections with industry to cultivate a culture of “Engineering withEngineers” through changes in four essential areas: a shared department vision, faculty,curriculum, and supportive policies.This paper reports the status of the five-year project and is an updated version from our previousNSF Grantees Poster papers presented at the 2018, 2019, and 2020 ASEE Annual Conferences.The project background and objective are unchanged

strongertechnical communication skills. In the early 2000s, engineering professional societies reportedunderdeveloped writing and presentation skills in entry-level job candidates while, at the sametime, stressing the time spent in a typical engineer’s day on communication tasks [1, 2]. At thesame time, ABET adopted new criteria for evaluating and accrediting engineering programs [3].The criteria focused on developing “soft skills” including teamwork, ethics, and effectivecommunication, among others. The importance of soft skills has only grown in the interveningyears. Among ABET’s student outcomes as listed in 2019-2020 is “an ability to apply written,oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments;and an
andmultiple virtual machines (VMs) were nested in each environment to serve both tasks of attackand defense. A graphic user interface (GUI) application was designed to provide access to theenvironment where cybersecurity activities were performed. The application menu included a setof CyberSec labs, each containing a pair of attack and defense sub-labs. Each sub-lab is acombination of both cybersecurity theory and practice.A workshop was held in the summer 2019 in the Department of Technology Systems (TSYS) atEast Carolina University (ECU) in the summer of 2019. Nineteen college instructors wereinvited to use the system and participated in a survey in the end of the workshop. In this paper,we discussed the survey results of both the learning
drawn from attendees at theconsortium’s annual conference. Based on conference attendee demographics, we find thissample is representative of most of the URM population pursuing graduate engineering degreesin the U.S. per the National Science Foundation and ASEE By the Numbers [3], [16]. Wefocused our study on this sample purposefully, as these students would be more likely tohighlight a variety of support structures that have enhanced their doctoral journey and supportedtheir persistence [17]. The consortium brings together institutional liaisons, industry representatives, andstudents. The consortium hopes to positively impact the number of URMs who are graduatedegree earners in the U.S. working together to encourage underrepresented
knowledge of the community.The prime S-STEM BEATS project goals are:1) To recruit, retain, develop, mentor and graduate low-income, first-generation engineering andcomputer science students considered underrepresented by NSF. The overriding expectedoutcome for BEATS Scholars is their persistent mindset to degree completion at rates equal to orhigher than the average national percentage achieved by all engineering freshmen and transfercohorts as reported by ASEE.2) The current S-STEM BEATS project builds upon prior NSF S-STEM and STEP projects lessonsand practices that strongly indicate S-STEM scholars will thrive best when situated and engagedin a broader underrepresented engineering student (URES) peer-supportive multicultural academiccommunity

In thepractice of civil and environmental engineering, where projects are designed and built for publicuse and benefit, engineers must be skilled at communicating with the array of diversestakeholders that will be affected by their work. In 2019, the American Society of CivilEngineers (ASCE) published the Third Edition of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge(CEBOK3) [1]. The purpose of the newest edition was to update the competencies needed forcivil engineers entering and
and introducing theseresearchers to potential mentors is an area of need for the field, particularly for aspiring RIEFgrantees. The project’s first networking event was a social event intended to connect RIEFgrantees at the 2019 NSF Grantee’s October meeting [4]. RIEF awardees attending that eventwere surveyed about their experience with the event and the EER community. In open responsesrelated to experience in that event, attendees consistently expressed that more networkingopportunities within the EER community would benefit them. Additionally, our team presentedworkshops to the community twice in 2020, first at the ASEE virtual annual conference, and thenat the FIE international conference [5]. Both workshop presentations consisted of a
the course progresses.” We modified this from our previous prompt in Fall 2019: “Dosome initial research: use whatever sources that you would generally use to start exploring atopic. Find at least 3 of these sources.” We modified the prompt to reduce the potential impact ofstudents’ perceptions of the instructor’s expectations on this assessment for learning and avoidprompting students to select specific search methods or kinds of sources.The first prompt to find three sources enabled us to ask, “What kinds of sources did the studentsselect on their own?” We elected not to measure whether students selected paper vs. internetsources, since the pandemic made it difficult for students to access libraries. We sorted thestudents’ sources into the
-Circuit Voltage (FractionalOCV). The response of PV output power to the changes inenvironmental factors like solar irradiance and temperature was also examined.1. IntroductionSolar energy is clean, free, and abundant. It holds the potential to support a clean, reliable, andmore sustainable energy future. From the years 2000 to 2019, global cumulative installedphotovoltaic (PV) capacity has increased by 632.4 GW [1]. In 2019 alone, 116.9 GW of new PVwas installed. It was estimated that global solar PV installation in 2020 would increaseapproximately 132 GW from 2019. Despite the impact of pandemic on the economy, the UnitedStates installed 11.1 GW of solar PV in the first 9 months of 2020 which is the largest first 9-month total ever [2]. With the

To do so, the final course grademean and standard deviation (SD) were calculated for instructor-taught courses with teamprojects (Fall 2018 and Fall 2019 semester; total sample size, n = 93) and those with individualprojects (Fall 2020 semester; sample size n = 90). Student T-tests were utilized and P-valuescalculated to determine statistical significance in student grade means between courses with teamand individual projects, where statistical
