Some topics maynot be fully represented, as this review is not intended to be fully comprehensive but rather toprovide an overview of different intervention styles and their effectiveness. Articles wereselected for inclusion based on their relevance to the research question.General FindingsOverall, there are many effective ways to improve student success/outcomes in statics. Throughthis literature review, we found that there is no “perfect” solution, and that students and faculty atdifferent institutions respond differently to different interventions. Therefore, an idealintervention would involve

, the establishment of computational modelingcompetence opens the door to new design methodologies that can be used to iterate throughengineered 3D models. Field-driven design is one such methodology that would enormouslybenefit undergraduate students in their coursework. The intertwining of numerical simulationmodeling, field-driven design, and the presently-emphasized 3D modeling skills strengthensstudent understanding of product evaluation and iteration and improves the employability ofmechanical engineering graduates.KeywordsNumerical Simulation, Field-Driven Design, Computer-Aided Design, Additive Manufacturing,Undergraduate Student PaperIntroductionWith the widespread adoption of computer-aided design and finite element analysis

currying and partial application.However, once understood, they appreciated that functions in FP can accept partial argumentsand create intermediate functions that can be called when rest arguments are available. To givean analogy, partial application is like preheating the oven so it will be ready to bake any food (atthat preheated temperature.)Function Composition and PipeliningAssume we need a function to calculate an expression 3 * x + 5, where the input x is an integer.In Java, this function can be written as (assume there is no integer overflow): public static int calculate(int x) { return 3 * x + 5; }We can write something similar in F#, or use Function Composition to demonstrate that there aretwo calculations/functions

between college and professional experience for asmother transition.Putting together a comprehensive and flexible civil engineering curriculum is a work in progressand countless universities have revised their curriculum multiple times. Yet, they are strugglingwith shrinking total number of credit hours and meet Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology, Inc (ABET) standards while also incorporating Body of Knowledge (BOK) andmaterial and milestones set by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Often studentsgo through curriculum that teaches them engineering fundamentals and theory along with theirapplications to simplified real world problems. If exposure to professional life is not included inthe curriculum, even some of the

had projects, this fundamental aspect did not changecompared to previous semesters.2.8 Repeatability and Reproducibility Repeatability and reproducibility are important concepts in any measurement systemsanalysis [15]. Therefore, both must be considered in any project-based learning (PBL) to ensurethat we, the researchers of this study, can replicate and are able reproduce our study outcomes.2.8.1 Repeatability in Project-Based Learning Repeatability refers to the ability to replicate a research study. It emphasizes theconsistency and reliability of project outcomes when the research study is repeated by differentindividuals or groups. Repeatability is important as it allows for the validation of project resultsand ensures

decrease in proficiency with studentoutcome 2, specifically related to global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factorsthat are influenced by design and influence a design (hereafter referred to as the “5 designfactors”). This is not a unique problem at UNL; indeed, past studies have found that studentslearning of these design factors is superficial at best, demonstrating comprehension, but not anability to critically evaluate and interpret how these factors are applied in the engineering field[9], [8]. Furthermore, while faculty members in Civil and Environmental Engineering programsacross the United States are experts in their field, many instructors did not work in theengineering industry prior to becoming an academic [10], [11].
