we report where floating a circuit (i.e. not grounding it to the earth)is the best and safest case.INTRODUCTIONIn the field of electricity, the theoretical concept known as “ground” is indispensable insolving every electric circuit. Using Gauss’s law or Maxwell’s equations, one can definean electric field of a static or moving charge in a manner that is un-ambiguous. Only oneunique solution exists [1]. However, dealing with the mathematics inherent in theapplication of an electric field to an electrical circuit is prohibitive for most people,including electricians, technicians, and even most people with advanced degrees inElectrical Engineering. It is more efficient to introduce the concept of potential orvoltage. NOTE: potential is defined

However, traditional instructional and evaluation methodsmay make students overly risk averse, impacting their willingness to innovate to the extentnecessary to make disruptive changes to technology. Fostering an entrepreneurial spirit inengineering undergraduates may allow them to be more creative and less risk averse in theirapproach to solving multi-faceted, ill-defined problems. Analysis of student feedback fromreflection essays, self-report attitudinal surveys, and instructor assessment in two very differentcourses that promote the entrepreneurial mindset through student-driven projects will be used todistill the

Not only does it require students tointegrate knowledge and experience from different courses to understand real-world problems,but it also demands the use of multiple characterization technologies to comprehend a material.Specifically, conversation with chat GPT is allowed and encouraged in this stage of the lab.The materials science lab is materials-based, and the materials of faculty research are chosenfor lab modification.

In contrast, many other fall 2020classes had schedules where students could only attend lecture once a week. The classroom had technology, so the author would present his work on a piece of paper thatwas then projected to two screens for the in person students to view.

. INTRODUCTIONIt is frequently necessary to provide an analytical model of an engineering process or systembased on the results of testing such systems. This need may arise in designing a control systemfor such a process or in providing a summary description of test results. In some practical cases,the process is of such complexity that the equations describing the process are either notavailable or else are too unwieldy to be useful. In less complicated cases, such as described here,the equations may be readily obtained but either the parameters are unknown or else there is aneed for an experimental check on the parameter estimates obtained by approximations.The three cases reported here arose from three separate undergraduate engineering courses

major. This can make a student feel distantfrom their chosen major, and potentially lead to a lack of retention. Interaction with professorsfrom a student’s chosen major in the initial semesters of higher education might be advantageousin getting them involved and integrated into the program they have chosen. A report by thePresident’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology published in 2012, suggested thatthe first two years of college are the most critical to the retention and recruitment of STEMmajors [1]. Often curriculums have introductory courses for each program, and these aretypically taught wholly or in part by professors who are experts in a student’s field of study.However, there is often only a brief amount of time in courses
