In 2015, PowerAmerica Institute became part of the fourteenManufacturing USA Institutes in which it is funded through the Department of Energy. Theircontribution to an emerging technology like WBG is significant and innovative. Due to the needfor a demanding workforce, the REU Program is an outlet for recruitment into these emergingtechnologies as well as an opportunity to increase diversity in the field.During the ten-week duration of the REU program, students were immersed in research as theydeveloped their professional and technical skills.

Engineering design guidelines, also known as Design For X or DfX areused by engineers to better the outcome of their design process with respect to the X in question.For example, Design for Safety is a common DfX, used to ensure an engineer’s final outputminimizes the occurrence of harm to users. An exploration of how a recently emerged DfX,Design for the Environment (DfE), developed suggests a possible model for the emergence of aDfX.Historical records for the

All data was analyzedusing qualitative methods. Qualitative research is defined as ‘an array of interpretativetechniques which seek to describe, decode, translate and otherwise come to terms with themeaning, not the frequency, of certain more or less naturally occurring phenomena in the socialworld’” [14],(p. 85).

The architecture consistsof a group of processes that work together to acquire data, format it, and finally display it in a useful way to theend user. In this case an internet navigator is used as a standard interface.

To begin to understand theimportant features of an effective professional development program, NCETE focused itsefforts on engineering design as a content area in high schools.

We havedescribed how engineering students often seem to value the coach or expert as a role model innon-academic settings, however not many students seemed to equate faculty or academiccoaches to serve as possible role models. Multiple students mentioned technology in helpingthem understand techniques and principles outside the classroom. However, the role oftechnology to aid in learning for concepts relevant inside the classroom was only highlighted bytwo participants. We believe that the findings from this research can inform engineeringeducators on successful strategies employed by engineering students in non-academic settings,and this in turn

With the emergence of LoRa wireless technologyas a viable data communication methodology, there is a clear opportunity to instrument theenvironment at scale with sensors to collect real-time data at low cost and low powerbudgets. In this paper, we cover the approach used to develop an edge device capable ofinterfacing with any environmental sensor to transmit collected data via LoRa to a cloud-based data collection service.
