imaginary is further buttressed byrecruitment material, campus messaging (e.g., “fearless ideas”), and STEM faculty (see [12] forthis broader trend in higher education) through what Hilgartner [13] calls “vanguard visions”:futuristic projections of revolutionary public benefits resulting from emerging technologies.Often these imaginaries are constructed without any direct consultation with the public, whichoften creates a mismatch between science and technology development and the priorities of thepublic. While such imaginaries are generative for those that benefit from the status quo ofinnovation (e.g., large corporations, the military, upper middle class), they also largely exclude–while saying innovation will benefit all–many segments of society

Afterward, the principalproject investigators sought the aid of the author, an assessment specialist with expertise in rubricdesign and development, to revise that draft. Subsequent piloting and further revision in 2011 yieldedthe version of the EDPPSR in use today (Goldberg, 2014). It was recognized almost immediately asa strategy for assessing the engineering design process that might be applied not only by teach-ers but also by “external reviewers with a vested interest in the design solution.” (Householder &Hailey, 2012, p. 31). Concurrently, that version became the framework for the Innovation Portal, afree online resource available to

NLP uses computers to preprocess,analyze, and interpret large amounts of natural language data (whether spoken or written) and isa growing field of study that aims to achieve human-like language processing for a wide range oftasks in an equally broad range of disciplines [1].Among the disciplines that have benefitted from advances in NLP is education. NLP has beenapplied broadly in education spanning from education research to classroom teaching. NLP hasbeen used to assess and classify student learning, to develop tools to assist in student learning
. Building on these results, we offer suggestions forthe future development of the curricular complexity framework. Moreover, we highlight avenuesfor researchers and practitioners to apply these metrics in transfer student receptivity andretention studies.

Table A1 in Appendix A summarizes the notationalconvention we will use, staying consistent with [1], throughout our mathematical descriptions inroughly the order of appearance.Timing of courses being offeredUnlike FTIC students, vertical transfer students may enter the 4-year institution at

relatively expensive and long-term infrastructure system necessary for the development of complex systems, ensure studentsafety, and span gaps of time between infrequent launch opportunities. However, in recent years,the rise in popularity of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) represents another avenue forconducting useful interdisciplinary engineering projects within a greatly compressed timeframeand limited resources.This paper outlines efforts undertaken by students at the UAF to conduct aerospace projects viaexisting design courses in mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering/science. Specifically,the paper focuses on interdisciplinary skills gained by students that might not normally have anopportunity to learn these at this stage in their
specifications, milestones, feedback, andreporting procedures along with the challenges encountered by both the students and theinstructors. The paper also presents the analysis of the student outcomes accessed by theinstructors, student comments, and discussion on methods to increase student motivation,participation, and project evaluation. This paper will serve as a teaching aid for the instructorswho are currently teaching or plan to teach senior design in the near future. Most specifically,this will help newly joined junior faculty members in planning the senior design course andadapting some of these material and reporting procedures.Keywords: Engineering technology, Multi-disciplinary senior design, Autonomous vehicle1.

Temkin Page 25.1376.2AbstractLab-based courses are generally not available in an online format because of the need forexpensive lab equipment, time consuming technical assistance, and troubleshooting. The recentincrease in demand for online instruction extends past current pedagogical methods and is mademore problematic with the addition of a lab component. In our previous paper, "Transitioning alab-based course to an online format"1, we presented the development of our pedagogicalframework. This framework is based on our 2010 online course and previous studies in onlineeducation. In this

While the global economy is growing and the growth of international work isexpanding at an exponential rate, the isolationism of the university student is also increasing at atime when global opportunities need to be expanded for the global education of the student.

This knowledge will helpidentify where the library can provide additional support for course texts and OER. The surveywas not intended to be statistically significant, but it was intended to provide an insight into howtextbook costs impact students' experiences.MethodA 20 question survey (Appendix A) was developed, based on questions seen in similar surveyssuch as the Florida Virtual Campus Textbook Survey [5], the Virginia Course
design project course. Therefore, student designteams have more time to pursue bigger or more complicated design projects. In the last severalyears, it was found that students usually self-learned some new skills and knowledge forcompleting design projects. These might be useful to other design teams. But they didn’t have aproper way to share their self-learned content and life-long learning experience. Afterdiscussions among faculty and with student design teams, we proposed to add a new activity-student peer lectures to the senior capstone design project course in the second semester. Thispaper will describe and explain the reasoning for adding this new activity, the objectives, and theimplementation of this activity.2. STUDENT PEER LECTURES

One that was conducted compared a mindfulness interventiongroup and a yoga intervention group to a non-intervention group of undergraduate students fromno specific major who had been diagnosed with depression and/or anxiety; it found significantimprovements in depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms in both the yoga and meditation groups[13]. Other studies have shown similar improvements on markers of mental health in the studiedgroup. For instance, students (as well as staff and faculty) in “helping professions” (psychology,nursing, and nutrition) participated in a ten-week yoga and

The overall goal of her Ph.D. research is to improve healthcare operations through systems engineering and optimization while focusing on operations and health out- come metrics. Going forward, she plans to continue and broaden this research in support of two overall goals: maximizing the long-run average daily net profit of a medical system from business perspective as well as quality of life from human being aspect. She believes teaching is a very challenging and promising effort. At the end of each class, instructors
