. EvaluationAn evaluation was conducted at the end of the workshop and an online survey was designed byusing Google Forms [13]. Through the workshop attendees’ feedback, we hope issues such ascontent appropriateness, technical quality, and learner acceptability could be identified. Theproject members could then revise the system and content to improve the overall quality of thesystem.The survey questions were classified into four major categories. Examples of questions wereshown below. For each question a five-level Likert scale was used. Some questions’ responseswere “5 = Excellent. 4 = Very Good. 3 = Good. 2 = Fair. 1 = Poor” and some were “5 = StronglyAgree, 4 = Agree, 3 = Neutral, 2 = Disagree, and 1 = Strongly Disagree”.

We have taken basic courses in "Circuits," "Electronics,"and "Signals and Systems" and combined them at each level into a cohesive sequence,“Fundamentals 1,2, and 3” [4]. Each class session consists of a tightly integrated laboratory andlecture combination, seeking to combine the best elements of traditional lectures with the morevisual and tactile learning style attractive to many engineering students [5]. By necessity, theexperimental section of each class session requires small self-contained experiments that conveythe maximal amount of

Unfortunately, there arevirtually no engineers or scientists participating in policies and decisions related to thesephenomena. Only non-technical-oriented individuals, who do not possess the required expertiseand knowledge, carry out these tasks [1]. Even though some engineer’s members of organization,such as ASCE, work for government organizations and provide advices to policy makers, they arenot involved in policy related decisions [3].

Due to the importance of OSINT to a variety of fields, an ethical course project thatinvolves both technical and physical aspects of OSINT was designed to teach students how touse simple search techniques and synthesize information provided by publicly available sources.This paper shares one educator’s experience with designing and executing an OSINT-inspiredundergraduate classroom activity, in order to bolster awareness and understanding of this tool formembers of the future workforce.3.

various aspects such asstudent recruitment, funding allocation, and public perception [3]. It is crucial for a university toinvestigate retention to understand the reasons behind student departures. Retention rates amongcollege students are frequently employed as a metric for gauging institutional accountability andsuccess. Moreover, these rates are increasingly utilized as a basis for allocating resources.Gaining insights into the factors that influence college student retention has become imperativefor institutions of higher education. The ongoing issue of low graduation rates among students inengineering programs remains a significant cause for concern within the higher educationlandscape. Many students drop out early in their undergraduate

Theyrestructured the course multiple times in the last several years, largely by integrating problem-solving into class time and advocating for the addition of a weekly problem-solving session (a tool,governed by rules about both credit hours and student instructor division of labor). When studentswere struggling with concepts, “I tried to spend more time on problems. I… let go of some of thecontent, which is fine. Instead… of trying to get through more of the content, I try to build a lotmore practice setting up problems… you know, ‘OK, first sit down and try to sort throughyourself.’” When it comes to content and pacing, “I'm trying to roll… with the need and try to beflexible with my schedule

compassionin students in a senior design course using real world projects. We established relationships withnon-profit community organizations (an international relief and a local trail developmentorganization) through our professional networks. We found organizational needs and howengineering students could be involved to meet them.Project design and execution: Students designed two sanitation projects. For the trail-basedorganization, we asked students to improve a public bike trail by providing a common bathroomfacility. The international relief organization needed a prototype for a low resource bathroomfacility to replace open defecation (OD) practices in Kenya. We sought to identify instances ofcompassion in students and to ascertain what role

Furthering the alarm, the percentage of computer science bachelor’sdegrees awarded to women is 8% lower than what it was two decades ago [2]. Although perfectproportionality is not the goal, the move toward less representation in computer science isconcerning. Moreover, this lack of representation is not unique to the U.S. In the UnitedKingdom (U.K.), for example, the U.K. Department for Education documented that only 0.4% ofwomen pursue computing degrees compared to 4.5% of men [3].Diversity in the computing workforce is important.
