empower students to make a meaningful impact on theglobal community [5, 6,7]. A significant obstacle to learning is when students struggle to applytheir knowledge in problem-solving situations. By reflecting on their own learning, students canpinpoint areas where they need improvement and enhance their understanding to a higher level.This enables them to effectively utilize their knowledge when tackling complex problems [8].Active Learning nurtures specific and crucial skills like collaboration, autonomy, logicalreasoning, creative thinking, and problem-solving. These competencies are indispensable forexcelling in a wide array of roles within today's fiercely competitive global job market [7, 9, 10].In the flipped classroom model, the

In addition to engaging in case study review,professionals from the startup realm are invited to share their firsthand experiences and insightsthrough guest lectures. Through interactive discussions, students gain exposure to the real-worldissues faced by startups. This review of a real-life case study also highlights the impact of acorporation’s actions on the society and the consequences of releasing a product that can harmothers, malfunction, or provide unreliable data.Entrepreneurs tend to be risk takers, are creative and innovative [3].

Paper ID #44944A Students Perspective of Professional Development in EngineeringTechnologyMr. Caeden Robert Goodnough, State University of New York, Canton Caeden Goodnough, growing up on my grandparents’ farm, I was immersed in the world of machinery. SUNY Canton welcomed me, and has given me hands on experience that has helped me greatly. I am currently a junior in the Mechanical Engineering Tech program. Beyond classes, I co-founded three clubs, including the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, fostering a community of enthusiasts. My farm experience instilled in me a strong work ethic and problem-solving skills, shaping

, knowledge sharing, and camaraderie.The impact of building such a community extends beyond mere social interaction. It plays acrucial role in enhancing academic performance, as students are more likely to thrive in anenvironment where they feel supported and engaged. By fostering relationships among peers,students can access a wealth of knowledge and resources that contribute to their growth anddevelopment as aspiring engineers [1]. Furthermore, the formation of a robust engineeringcommunity provides students with opportunities to engage in extracurricular activities thatcomplement their academic pursuits. Trips, projects, and competitions organized by the SMEchapter offer students practical, hands-on experiences that supplement classroom learning

this research, we aim to address three fundamental aspects. Firstly, we propose that ChatGPTcan serve as a potent supplementary learning tool for computer science students, aiding in thecomprehension of complex concepts and the refinement of problem-solving skills. Secondly, wehypothesize that its integration may positively influence student engagement, motivation, andoverall interest in computer science subjects. Thirdly, acknowledging potential challenges, weaim to identify issues related to trust, reliability, and ethical considerations when incorporatingChatGPT into computer science education.In our exploration of the educational landscape, with a specific emphasis on computer sciencestudents, we conducted a comprehensive survey to discern

As I coached and tutored, I realized that the best way to engage these youth athletes in STEMlearning while also improving their on-court performance was to combine my background as a developingengineering researcher in biomechanics with my love of basketball. I began creating analytical trainingprograms for my student athletes, as a way to improve performance while also reframing previously dryand inaccessible STEM content within the context of basketball. I began performing additional outreachin the community and created my program called “Science of the Slam.” As a result of this work, Ireceived a National Science Foundation GK12 Fellowship through the 3Helix

The technology developed by engineers hasfound strong acceptance and integration in the economic sector, society, and even in our dailylives [2]. The recent Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) visit requiresthat we teach our students engineering ethics.By studying engineering ethics, the students develop an awareness of the likely impact of theirfuture decisions on moral and ethical grounds. Teaching engineering ethics in academic 1institutions is mainly undertaken to create awareness among engineering students. Many factorsinfluence ethical standards in
