seven years, as to a college professor, for travel, research, or rest…. Also called "sabbatical leave".Faculty expectations are that a sabbatical leave may allow them to study and/or work in areasrelated to the areas they currently teach and/or do research in, may allow them to study or workin new areas, and may allow them to rest and recuperate (R&R) from the rigors of university life.A sabbatical leave may allow a history faculty member to travel to Italy for a year andinvestigate the history of aspects of the Roman empire. A sabbatical leave for an engineering orengineering technology faculty member may involve work in an industrial setting to gainknowledge of the applications of theory normally taught by the faculty member.

These labs help IC beginners understand the entirefull-custom design process. Labs are executed in both an undergraduate and advancedgraduate course. The lab experience includes
research effortsto enhance cognitive abilities (mathematical understanding) [4]. Other STEAM programs keepthe A with a focus on music. With this effort, the goal is to improve equity in STEM educationthrough inclusion of music programs in all school districts, even the less affluent ones [5]. Theprimary issue is most music programs are euro-centric in the choice of band, orchestra, and choirmusic. There have been a few recent efforts to apply music the students listen to as a modality tolearn STEM topics. The most successful program is using Hip Hop music to teach basicmathematical and engineering skills in high minority school districts [6]. The students write theirown words to a beat based on learning mathematical and engineering principles [7

An Applications Oriented Gas Turbine Laboratory Experience Ken Van Treuren Department of Engineering Baylor University AbstractThe gas turbine industry is experiencing growth in many sectors, particularly in the area ofpower generation. An important part of teaching a gas turbine course is exposing students to thepractical applications of the gas turbine. This laboratory enabled students to view the applicationof gas turbines in the area of propulsion. A Pratt and Whitney PT6A-20 turboprop was run at alocal airfield and engine parameters typical of cockpit instrumentation were

learning strategies can help students process information and solve problems7.That fact that assessment is a highly studied area in research underscores the fact that assessmentpractices play a subtle, complex, and enormously important role in student’s experience oflearning4. Flexible assessment modes can be seen as a first step towards a more student-ledpedagogy, while increasing student’s engagement in the assessment process3. The backbone ofour approach to flexible assessment is to use modern teaching techniques such as the flippedclassroom and studio format as they inherently place more responsibility on the student to learnthe course material. The flipped classroom moves control from teacher to student toaccommodate various learning styles
in the CAED degree programs. As each program stands, there is already a highnumber of undergraduate course units to meet graduation criteria set by accreditation bodies,offering little flexibility in a department’s curriculum flowchart to create new courses to addressDEI. At present, some students take on extra elective courses in ethnic studies and related fields(beyond their degree’s general education requirements) to further their knowledge on DEI issues.The authors anticipate that similar challenges are experienced across faculty in built environmentprograms (and more broadly science, technology, engineering, and math - STEM) regardless ofthe U.S. region they serve or presence in a teaching or research-oriented institution.
