Engineering Education, 2023Integration of VHDL Simulations and Written Reflections to Improve StudentUnderstanding of Sequential Logic Circuits1. IntroductionReflection is known to be a valuable tool that can enhance student learning. Although thebenefits of self-reflection are well-known, it is under-utilized in engineering education. Thus,there is a growing body of research on how to promote and deploy reflective activities in theengineering classroom (Benson).One recent development is the integration of computer-aided simulation tools and writtenreflections (Dickerson). Computer-aided simulation tools provide students with the ability topredict the behaviors of complex systems without having to concern themselves with everysingle detail of the

With proper monitoring of thebioreactor using various sensors, the reactors could actively monitor and harvest the growth ofalgae. This could remove excess buildup and deposit it for use in a fermenting tank to produceethanol for the building energy needs, with the flue gasses being collected and introduced intothe bioreactors.IntroductionWhat is a bioreactor? A bioreactor is a device or system that uses biological organisms to complete a specificchemical or biological process. For the purpose of this paper, the organism will be algae.

-STEM Program for First-Year Students: 3rd-Year Results1 IntroductionIn 2012, over four million freshmen were enrolled in U.S. four-year institutions of highereducation, and of those almost two million received Pell grants in their first year. Six years lateronly 43% of those students had obtained a bachelor’s degree, 10 percentage points behind non-Pell recipients [1]. The education disparity between privileged and low-income students hasslowly been widening over the years. The percentage of first-time students who obtained theirbachelor's degree within six years has increased from 57% (in 2001) to 69% (in 2017) forstudents from families in the fourth (highest) income quartile [2].
