One salient, but alsochallenging, ABET outcome is that an engineering graduates should be able to solve a well-definedengineering problem by combining theory and practice [4]. Improving student problem-solvingskills is a requisite to educate new engineers who can meet today’s challenges and become expertsin their field of interest [5,6]. As prior research shows, hands-on experiences and lab componentsof engineering courses provide critical learning experiences for students to better understandfundamental concepts [7-12]. However, many institutions have limited resources for laboratoryequipment, and these limitations inhibit student learning due to constraints on the use of

fill this requirement.Most recently, BIOE 2100 has been modified for specific designation as a “writing-intensive”course at the university level. UGA’s Franklin College Writing Intensive Program (WIP)administers the process by which courses acquire the “W” suffix (i.e., BIOE 2100W) andstipulates what is expected of such courses: The W suffix is used for courses taught as writing intensive, which means that the course includes substantial and ongoing writing assignments that a) facilitate learning; b) teach the communication values of a discipline — for example, its practices of argument, evidence, credibility, and format; c) support writing as a process; and d) prepare students for further writing in their

The quiz was created on Canvas and could be includedin both face to face and online modalities. The final examination will also include at least onequestion from this module to ensure students attained the learning objectives.Conclusion and Future WorksThe current transformation in the project management field in the presence of ArtificialIntelligence and Machine Learning is inevitable. Educators should prepare the nextgeneration to face these changes and provide them with the required knowledge and skills.This paper designed a course module for graduate level students enrolled in EngineeringProject Management course to introduce the

prevent misdiagnosis [6]. However, this method is novel inundergraduate engineering education research. Although engineers do not diagnose patients, theydo require a similar skillet that is necessary for complex problem solving in groups, such asadequate observational, listening, and interpersonal skills required to discuss open-endedproblems and scenarios. How this technique helps shape engineering students’ interpersonalskills has not been previously studied. This study uses VTS as a guided practice activity toobserve its effects on engineering students' preference towards teamwork, which is measuredthrough the validated instrumentation of Collective Orientation [7]. This research aims tounderstand how VTS impacts undergraduate engineering

majority of the students who earned an A in the engineering coursework of theFYEP graduated with a final GPA between 3.50-4.00; the majority of the students who earned aB graduated with a GPA of 3.00-3.49, and the majority of students who earned a C graduatedwith a 2.50-2.99 GPA. While these results are partly intuitive due to the fact that the letter gradeearned has a direct impact on final cumulative GPA, comparing letter grade and GPA using theChi-Squared Test of Independence (𝜒 ! = 5513, df = 6, p ≈ 0) and calculating Cramer’s V (V =0.3432) revealed that the results were moderately significant.

He acquired a Bachelor’s in Engineering Physics Summa Cum Laude with Honors followed by Civil Engi- neering Master’s and Doctoral degrees from Texas Tech University. His technical research focuses on structural evaluation of buried bridges and culverts. He encourages students through an infectious enthu- siasm for engineering mechanics and self-directed, lifelong learning. He aims to recover the benefits of the classical model for civil engineering education through an emphasis on reading and other autodidactic practices. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 An Active Learning Case

Two students have gone on to industry (one as a process engineer and the other on aresearch internship) where within the first month of work they re-tuned all the PID controllersfor their respective processes. One did so for a Campbell Soup production process and the otherfor a research pilot plant. Neither student was the top student in his class getting grades of B+and A- in the control course. Yet both

The goal of the Marne Innovation Center is to rapidly convert ideas brought by Soldiersinto viable prototypes for testing and refinement in the field. Promising ideas are then scaled upby the nonprofit CMI2, which works with DEVCOM through a Congressional initiative, calledthe Catalyst-Pathfinder program, which is managed by the Army Research Laboratory with a goalto bridge gaps in defense innovation.This paper’s goal is reporting lessons learned and best practices gleaned from this ongoingpartnership to better enable similar collaborations across organizations in the future.
