intersecting identities are salient for themselves [28]. Research in highereducation and STEM education shows that the barriers hidden in systemic racism are not in the past but are presenttoday. These barriers are rooted in the history of denying Black men and women access to opportunities in highereducation as faculty [29] and as students in STEM education that were unable to move into professional careers butwere rather limited to the role of technicians [30]. Kendi’s [31] extensive history of racism in the U.S. clearly showsthe centuries long legacy of White men and women not only devaluing and treating Black bodies and minds asinferior, but how the dynamics of systemic racism function to reproduce inequities and exclusions that remainhidden today

Due to the two part structure and inorder to expose the students to the faculty, it is also team taught. The course counts as twocredits, with the format one hour lecture and three hours lab. The basswood bridge is the majorproject of the ME half and counts for one quarter of the total course grade. The object, as isusual with bridge projects, is to design, build and test a truss bridge having a high strength toweight ratio. The design process includes statics analysis in combination

Any breaking wave is exhibiting nonlinear behavior.”18 Heller also recognizes theimportance of the Schroedinger equation of quantum physics in describing the phenomenon ofrogue waves, as well as the Benjamin-Feir instability, a well

Cycle Cost (LCC), all costs and salvage values are forecastover the time horizon being considered, and then these cash flows are discounted to obtain asingle equivalent present worth. The present worth can then be easily converted to a levelizedannual cost if necessary. The basic formulas developed earlier can be applied to the project costsdescribed in the last section. The costs that are included in typical projects consist of acquisition,replacement, maintenance, salvage and operating costs as well as taxes and depreciation.Because these costs can occur yearly over the complete analysis period, the Present Worth isfound by summing the contributions of each cost component over the total project period: Cost Components: Net Annual

Each faculty member takes a different approach with respect to presenting these methods of analysis to students. This will be discussed further in the next section.Instructor Approaches to Presenting, Conducting, and Assessing the ProjectBACKGROUND As of the 2023-2024 academic year, 11 different instructors have taught Statics and Mechanics of Materials I with the link element design project, 3 of whom are co-authors on this paper. This project has been part of the course well before any of the co-authors started teaching it; credit for its development goes to our colleagues. For

It is alsomuch more accessible as the instructor can use multiple parallel methodologies of conveyinginformation beyond simple lecture and slides.Topic 2: How do we build games?Building games is very similar to building the lesson plans that most instructors already preparefor each course [1]. The first step is to decide on a topic on which you would like to focus orprioritize as a learning objective. Considerations include the following: • What are the aspects of the learning objective that are necessary for students to learn or develop? What skills do you want them to practice, and in which do you want mastery?Secondly, the instructor should decide on the medium in which they would like to craft the gamewithin. Questions
