traditional class lectures can be enhanced by turning theminto “interactive class lectures”. Interactive class lectures diffuse active learning opportunitiesthroughout traditional class lecture and across the class time period. Interactive class lectures includeopportunities for student interaction with their peers and the instructor. This helps students begin towork towards active learning that promotes development, evaluation, and revision of informationnetworks used to understand the real world and learn how to implement theories into practicalapplications8.Think-pair-share is a teaching strategy that promotes active and collaborative learning; however, theeffectiveness and applicability of this strategy in its original or altered form remain to

instance, although the phone’s location has overlaps with that of the person,the implementation can still detect these objects correctly. For weapon detection on Raspberry Pi, we ran fine-tuned SSD-MobileNet on Raspberry Pi 4, where Figure 6 presents one exampleof detection results. Currently, we utilized the camera on laptop forthis validation. In terms of the preliminary detection results, currentversion of implement is able to detect certain weapons such ashandgun. However, the detection speed is not high enough for real-world applications. In addition, it is still limited with predefined Figure 6. An example of detectingweapons. weapons

geometry, vector analysis, and multi-step problem solving to real-world problems,creating an experiential learning environment. Because of the proven practices of previous works6-13,the class focused on active learning techniques. These practices include focusing less on traditionallectures and more on actual problem solving inside the class. This was achieved by using minilectures and allowing students to work on example problems, which then would first be worked bystudents in small groups and then discussed with the entire class. Additionally, real-world appliedexamples and practice problems were used, instead of the usual abstract problems and techniquesmost engineering students receive in other STEM courses. The practices in the class use

The 2012PISA Report characterizes six levels of proficiency in mathematics. “Students in the United Stateshave particular weaknesses in performing mathematics tasks with higher cognitive demands, suchas taking real-world situations, translating them into mathematical terms, and interpretingmathematical aspects in real-world problems.”1,3At Level 5, “students can develop and work with models for complex situations, identifyingconstraints and specifying assumptions. They can select, compare, and evaluate appropriateproblem-solving strategies for dealing with complex problems related to these models. Students atthis level can work strategically using broad, well-developed

Although the cost and labornecessary to transition traditional grid systems may be high initially, the role renewable sources play insustainable, efficient and reliable energy management will be of greater benefit following deployment. Introduction With the evolution of technology and the growing demand for energy; it is a necessity to haveaccess to fast, efficient, and reliable power. Taking into consideration the current state of our world;additional considerations for grid systems such as cost effectiveness and environmental impact are amust. Smart grid and microgrid systems are the culmination of these modern considerations for powermanagement. These grid systems utilize

User stories are real world examples of how one might interact with thesystem to fulfil a goal.

The studentsprovided positive feedback on the course project, which was considered to be very helpful for themto practice applying standards in real-world case studies. However, several challenges have beenidentified in Spring 2021 semester. First, teaching cybersecurity standards used in supply chain andlogistics systems requires students to have a good understanding on both cybersecurity and supplychain management to help them understand and apply these standards, which may require additionallectures at the beginning of the semester.
