(PEC). The slot consists of a quarter-wave slot length that connects to an exponentially tapered opening of maximum width ( 𝑊𝑚𝑎𝑥 ). The slot is fed directly by a microstrip transmission line at the bottom of the substrate, which excites the slot through the dielectric medium. The slot can also be a different shape such as a square or circle and still be excited by a microstrip line. The Microstrip to Slot line (M/S) transition is critical to an antenna’s gain and BW performance; if the transition is not properly designed, then mismatch losses will exist. The best design practice for the M/S transition is to have the microstrip extend about one-quarter of a wavelength beyond the slot and correspondingly, the slot extends about one-quarter

STEM careers with amaker-space approach. “Students are excited, engaged in hands-on engineering, taking risks,interested in all engineering project design activities, and requesting to return to the maker spacefor more project activities”. This is a significant improvement because students had littleknowledge of engineering prior and was limited to state curriculum.While conferences are good for post-graduates and workers, middle and high school studentsrequire activities beyond their routine. McGinnis [38] backs this idea with her STEM career daystrategy – An event where STEM is promoted (much like a college fair) includes speakers,presenters, student-recruiting and is well-organized. This idea focuses on student-engagement,but we can use

Human Communication Model Components The compartmentalization of the learning process into core components allowedEducation Researchers to methodically apply various troubleshooting techniques to maximizelearning outcomes. Through a systematic process of isolating variables, the key factor limitingthe ability to achieve desired learning outcomes was attributed to three conflated variables:Knowledge Resource, Student and Barrier. In order to separate these components intoindependent variables, development of a novel human cognitive model was necessary to segmentthe knowledge assimilation process that occurs in the human brain into three discrete entities:knowledge delivery process, knowledge assimilation process, and external factors

teachcommunication and team building skills alongside problem solving to students interested inSTEM. Other organizations such as Future Engineers and Rube Goldberg encourage students tobecome active learners. Access to these skills at a young age will help strengthen the skills set offuture engineers. IntroductionThe emerging industry associated with prepping elementary and middle school students forengineering careers is bridging gaps that exist between what is learned through traditional means,and what is actively taught through early Project Based Learning opportunities with engineeringmentors. The rise in online and in-person supplemental engineering programming for students isbeneficial and strengthens and

Student recommendations to promote positive teamwork experiences are also discussed.1.0 Introduction In engineering, teamwork is a vital skill that helps conquer challenges faced in oursociety. Whether being tasked to create a new prototype or to revise an already existingproduct, having multiple opinions and ideas can facilitate ease when working through theengineering process and coming to a valid solution. At times, establishing good collaborationpractices can be difficult and can lead to unsatisfying experiences for first-year engineeringstudents, especially for those with racial, ethnic, and/or gender identities that have beenhistorically underrepresented

important role in the success of our studentsin their future careers with blurred lines in diverse teams, and numerous studies show that it is askill that cannot be taught, rather developed through experiential learning in a curriculum thatvertically integrates problem-solving [16].Another challenge introduced by Industry 5.0 is that instead of designing a full discipline-specific product, engineers are increasingly acting as system integrators; therefore, engineersmust possess the ability to quickly learn and adapt material from other STEM and non-STEMfields. Industry 5.0 projects are complex, multidimensional, and fast-evolving, requiring criticalthinking and problem-solving abilities from engineers beyond their STEM foundation. Theengineers of
