We were surprised to learn how many undergraduate students were notaware of the funding that comes with getting a PhD in an engineering discipline, and this flyergenerated great interest.

the protocol of the sensor array instrumentation.As a team, they helped their professor successfully continue the hunt to answer the query ofwhether a Mach Effect (inertial reaction force) is actually detectable. Due partly to their effortsthe science around this instrument is now quite robust and this novel device provides consistent,replicable and predictable results. During the summer research, the students got to apply much oftheir theoretical electrical engineering training to a real-world application in sensor arrays andinstrumentation.Background and MotivationThe roles that our undergraduate engineers played in this research during the summer of 2018was written up in a recent (2019) ASEE Zone 1 conference publication.

Prior to the module, students wereintroduced to information on an existing environmental problem (i.e., the great Pacific garbagepatch) and answered homework questions on how traditional engineering interventions havebeen inadequate to solve the problem. The first part of the module focused on the materialproperties of single-use plastic straws that have resulted in their ubiquitous and environmentallydeleterious use. Students were then introduced to the Social Impact Analysis (SIA) tool,implemented in Microsoft Excel, which uses United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)and the Society of Environmental

somewhat remarkably, there has been very littleinvestigation into the impact of these breaks on students. At the University of Waterloo, a two-day fall break, following the holiday Monday of Canadian thanksgiving (the second Monday inOctober) was added on a three-year trial starting in 2016, with the stated goal of helping studentmental health by allowing a time to catch up on classwork before the stressful midterm period.Fall break was extended to be a full week at UWaterloo beginning in fall 2019 on a three-yeartrial, based on the resounding positive response captured in institution-wide student surveys.In 2017, the authors noticed a reduction in midterm grades for specific populations of first-yearengineering students following the fall break

The course was offered in summer2019. The course demographics, student’s performance results, and student feedback are comparedbetween spring 2019 when the course was taught face-to-face and summer 2019 when it was taughtonline. The student performance indicated that the drop, fail, or withdrawal (DFW) rate was notmeaningfully impacted by the mode of delivery. However, the students’ final GPA in the course(before any form of adjustments or curving), improved from 81/100 in the face-to-face class to 88in the online class. Also, the rate of homework
