Students interactively explore the changes in densitywith temperature and the nonlinear nature of this change. They are asked to reflect on whether themeasurement of mass or volume is more important for accurate density estimation. The dashboard isalso used to reinforce fundamental assumptions such as the incompressibility of water or lack of changein water density due to normal pressure fluctuations.Figure 2: Interactive Dashboard for Density-Temperature Relationships (the dashboard can be accessed from: https://vuddameri.com/shiny/CE3105/Lab1a/)The second dashboard (Figure 3) explores the salinity

Similar to other surveys that had begun to assess the impacts ofthe COVID-19 pandemic, we asked about current employment and changes in work performanceand caregiving responsibilities. However, we also asked respondents to reflect on interpersonalsupports, social connections and belonging, and practices/changes that respondents want tocontinue moving forward.

From thisview, a parent-child dyad is a unit of interactive learning rather than isolated participant from thesocial context.

Overviews of the approach are provided by Carberry [2], Siniawski [20], and Hylton [11].While the full effects on student learning of a standards-based course model are the subject of muchdiscussion and research, a few trends are becoming clear. Central among these is the notion that studentachievement should be judged on the basis of continual development, rather than a one-time score. Assuch there is tremendous opportunity for formative assessment and reflection. Additionally, Sadler [19]noted that such a scheme offers a number of advantages

Adesign process overview was provided via a specific lecture to the UG students and by makingrelevant materials available for their reference. However, they voiced concerns of feeling at adisadvantage because of this, which may have affected their comfort or ability to contribute, atleast initially.

The on-campus social prominence of upper-class students mayconsume the limited capital of lower-class students in imitating upper-class students, rather thanusing it for scholarly dedication and hard work. Scholars of social justice and equity argue that structural characteristics of historicalinstitutions and ethnic groups' relations are responsible for the prevailing norms of students'college success in engineering education culture[12]–[14]. Those institutionalized norms extendthe privilege to the competitive and individualistic practices associated with the White majoritystudents, but minority students conventionally do not reflect those

increasingly necessary to better prepare a futurecyber workforce. However, AI and cybersecurity are difficult areas of study, appeal to differenttypes of students, and individually require significant commitments within a fixed number ofcredit hours. Both AI and cybersecurity are already quite challenging disciplines, requiringcurricula already packed with prerequisites and difficult and time-consuming coursework. Suchpacked curricula are common in STEM degrees and pose challenges whenever new materialneeds to be integrated. Furthermore, instructors in AI and cybersecurity are not usuallycross-trained: an expert in cybersecurity rarely has expertise in AI and vice versa. This deficit isthen reflected in the study body, resulting in few cross-trained

Other ethics evaluations include the Perceptions and Attitudes toward Cheating amongEngineering Students surveys (PACES), the Moral Judgement Test (MJT), and the Engineeringand Science Issues Test (ESIT).

Costcalculations and height calculations were required with a penalty for a dam that was too high (asit irritated the neighbors). Students turned in their projects in three ways: using a Google formwhich allowed us to check student calculations, as a homework file which included their FBDsand analysis, and as a project report to include reflection, etc. The repetition of the problems helpstudents to connect the different topics in class. The final reflection asks students to comment onwhat value is created by such a dam.

Thismethodology also allowed the students to immediately apply what they just learned on a portionof the project, as opposed to having to recall information learned weeks or months prior. Anotherunique aspect of this PBL methodology, is that, at the end of the semester an overall final projectwas due, which contained the five milestones. These five milestones were previously graded andreturned to the students shortly after they were due, therefore, the students were given theopportunity to reflect, and learn from their mistakes in their initial attempt at the
