students. We decided to implement the panel project, but in a safe manner.Thus, the project was reframed to comply with safety regulations. The main considerations toaccomplish this were to include safe distancing requirements and minimize student stress andanxiety. This wasaccomplished by (a) limitingthe number of teams thatcould occupy the laboratoryspace (Fig. 1) at any giventime and (b) allowing alonger period of time tocomplete the many steps inthe project. Since thenecessary course materialhad not been covered toenable students to designtheir panels, the panelgeometry (stringer shape,size, quantity, spacing andform of attachment) wasgiven to each team two Figure 1.

couple of common misconceptions. The twocircuits are asking for the same impedance; however, many students will struggle with circuit (a)while accurately solving circuit (b). Circuit (b) is drawn to emphasize the resistors are in seriesand the capacitor is in parallel with the combined resistors. Many students would incorrectly saythe total impedance of circuit (a) is the sum of the three impedances with reasoning that they areall in series. Developing this problem specifically to hit that common misconception, whenpresenting the correct strategy to obtain the total impedance, those misconceptions are discussed.Another circuit is quickly drawn to show what it would look like if the total impedance from thespecified terminals was a series
discrimination faced byAsian engineering students in postsecondary education. The identified relevantstudies need to be consistent with this research scope. In order to do that, we focus onboth Asian American and Asian international college students within the engineeringdiscipline, reflecting our centered research interest. Considering the scope of ourstudy and the research questions, we established relevant studies in our review asstudies that satisfy the following three conditions: a) the presence of Asian students,b) a focus on college engineering majors, and c) relevance to experiences ofdiscrimination.Selecting Studies We conducted the literature search using a variety of scholarly databases,including Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar, ERIC

Three centralcommunity building techniques were implemented throughout the course: a) the incorporation ofa mid-class snack break, b) an optional weekend museum field trip, and c) the use of game-basedstudent response systems such as Kahoot! and PollEverywhere. Active learning strategies such assmall-group problem solving, hands-on instrument demonstrations, and student presentationswere carried out in class, many of which also doubled as opportunities for students to

The goals of this research are to identify the challenges and vulnerabilities of low-income communities, as well as gaps in construction trade knowledge and resources amongthem. Additionally, this research aims to investigate effective pedagogy to provide low-incomeindividuals with appropriate education, training, techniques, and expertise to aid in resilient post-disaster reconstruction. To achieve these goals, this research conducted a survey to architecture,engineering, and construction (AEC) experts from Puerto Rico to identify: (a) the majorchallenges and vulnerabilities of low-income communities post-disaster, as well as the mainissues of informal construction; (b
].To address this tension at our university, we are engaging undergraduate engineering studentsacross multiple phases of soft robotics curriculum development. Students are developing softrobotics learning modules as co-designers, which is what is presented in this paper. In the future,they will get to pilot their activities with other students. Once modules are fully developed andpiloted, they will be implemented in courses across our mechanical engineering (ME) curriculumand shared publicly. Overall, our full project will explore the potential for student-generated softrobotics modules to impact the learning and interest in soft robotics of both (a) the studentsdesigning the modules and (b) the students participating in the modules once they

tolerance aredeterminants of these future capacities, but the results suggest that: (a) these capacities mayrequire more personalized or experiential learning opportunities than provided by the Ohio StateEmPOWERment Program, (b) these skills are more rooted in prior experience, or (c) they maydevelop over a longer time frame. This latter possibility calls for longitudinal studies that last formore than a year. Future work could investigate the underlying factors and potentialinterventions that may enhance graduate students' capacities to network and tolerate risk.7 References[1] National Academy of Engineering and E.

Resume Writing and Mock InterviewIt usually only takes 6-8 seconds for recruiters to decide whether an applicant will be given aninterview or not [31], so the resume must represent the applicant well. However, resumes are noteasy to write and are not often taught in engineering classrooms. The ESS provides students withtraining to write good resumes that will get them the interview. After students complete aresume, students are asked to volunteer for a mock interview in front of the class. The entireclass is introduced to the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method of the behavioralinterview [32] and is also given tips on technical interviews.II.4.B.
