still an ongoing evolution, the fundamental ROS principles ofpublishing and subscribing to topics, application-specific messages, invoking services, and shar-ing parameters remained constant. Due to the growing importance of ROS in research [1] andcommercial robotics, educators began introducing ROS to enhance their robotic curricula [2–10]. Robotics is perceived in education as an excellent way to promote higher-quality learning bygrounding theoretical concepts into reality. To maximize the learning throughput, the focus of anyrobotics software platform should be on ease of use, with little time spent integrating the compo-nents [11]. This paper describes the development of three projects on the MATLAB-ROS-Gazeboplatform for a senior-level

Entrepreneurship is a powerful tool not onlyin developed economies but in emerging economies as well where it often is one of the leadingdrivers of growth and prosperity. By putting the student in a virtual manager’s or a founder’sposition we can help them envision the entire company and the role played by all of the functionsthat are critical for its day to day operations, be its finance, or sales, or accounting, or productdevelopment. A well-developed strategy combining the above functions can really lead acompany to success.Among the various approaches adopted in entrepreneurship education the main ones are(1) The Case Study Method of Harvard Business School(2) The

The goal was to ascertain whether the pandemic, and subsequent moves to all virtualeducation, resulted in students taking less or more courses, and the reasons behind those changes.Preliminary data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center indicate that newenrollments declined in 2020, and that reductions in course hours occurred later in Spring 2020than usual after widespread shutdowns in March [1].

Research shows that earlyprofessional experiences, including mentorship support (or lack thereof), followindividual faculty throughout their academic life cycle, impacting careerperformance, research, motivation, persistence, and mental health [3, 4]. Pre-tenurefaculty and professional track faculty also report significant stress, a general lackof support, and an overall struggle with work-life harmony [2].Mentorship for tenured faculty can also present a challenge as mentorshipinitiatives are often targeted to pre-tenure roles, leaving tenured faculty to navigatetheir

As a result, this method creates a robust building envelope becauseit forms a double wall and thermal bridging (heat transferring from inside to outside) is reducedwhen insulation is blown-in all the way around the home. This eliminates the need for a wallplate, which is required where a traditional wall leaves a gap without insulation between thebottom of the wall and floor. With an integrated truss, the insulation is unbroken, and a properlyinsulated and sealed 12”-thick wall results in a wall with an appropriate R-40 ability to resist heattransfer. Thus, the thermal performance advantages of the integrated truss design are clear.Figure 1. Image of insulation used in integrated truss systems

Over the past twodecades, time-to-degree for United States (U.S.) bachelor’s degree recipients has noticeablyincreased, resulting in higher education institutions becoming particularly concerned aboutcompletion or graduation rates [2]. Traditionally, the bachelor’s degree is a four-year degree.However, more than 50 percent of bachelor’s students fail to complete their degree on time, thusbecoming extender students. This term refers to students who take longer than four years tocomplete a bachelor’s degree [3], [4].

Researchers and Academic EntrepreneursGalati et al. (2020) proposed several different theoretical approaches for exploring thesensemaking processes of academic researchers engaged in commercialization activity includingself-determination theory and social identity theory. These are based on the identity perspective(Gruber & MacMillan, 2017), which assesses entrepreneurial behavior in a way that is differentfrom “views embedded in economic rationality” (Gilati, p. 1480). The identity perspectiveclaims two things: 1) that individuals behave in ways that they consider appropriate forthemselves in a specific context, and 2) that human beings have a fundamental need for self-definition and for finding their own place in society (Gilati).
