In step 1, data is gathered while the accelerometeris held still. In step 2, the accelerometer is quickly moved 0.15 m along its x-axis. In step 3, theaccelerometer is held still again for a short duration before stopping data collection. The sampledata collected using this process is labeled Acceleration_Raw in Figure 1 (b), where steps 1,2, and 3 correspond to the time intervals 0–0.75 seconds, 0.75–1.1 seconds, and 1.1–2.0 seconds,respectively.

Those segments are 1) the development of engineering educationhistorically, 2) teacher’s wealth that is infused within the learning environment, and 3) teachers’integration of engineering education in current curriculum. Sociohistorical narratives about what counts as engineering, what it means to be trainedas an engineer, and who can be labeled an engineer can be traced back to the

To manage the grading workload,programming assignments require students to write programs to process user input and produceoutput with a specific format. This allows us to use an autograder to automatically run studentprograms and check the output. All projects are submitted through the Gradescope platformwhich integrates with Canvas [9].

AKonica Minolta Vivid 910 scanner (Figure 4a), a laser scanner, was used for the digitizationprocess. The camera had the ability to capture large free-form objects with a dimensionalaccuracy of 0.127 mm. Because of the geometric complexity of the bust, special attention had tobe paid to cavities and shiny surfaces. Since the scanner did not have the flexibility to reachhard-to-access details, the scanning process became more tedious than originally expected.
