The follow-up discussion was diverted by one faculty memberwho impugned the credibility of the IAT itself3 effectively changing the intended topic of the session to(a) a general movement against social science and (b) the common view that computer science is itself`purely technical` and not affected by issues now associated with bias, lack of inclusion, diversity andsocial justice.

CEE 507 focuses oninfrastructure systems from the technical and environmental perspectives and examines theinterdependences between these infrastructures.III. Motivation and VisionIntroductory courses tend to be required for lower-division students and these courses act asprerequisites for upper-division courses that tend to be more discipline-specific and thus, may bemore engaging for students. Introductory courses provide fundamental information andknowledge needed for upper-division courses. This framework continues throughout anacademic course map, forming a linear advancement.

In these early years surveying was taught inmathematics departments and later in civil engineering departments. The American Society ofCivil Engineering (ASCE) was founded in 1852, and one of its early technical divisions was theSurveying Engineering Division. This was founded in 1926 [2] in order to provide leadership insurveying. For many years surveying grew under the wing of civil engineering. The

The specific format was required to introduce students to the typicalrequirements of publishing.In addition to the written report, an oral presentation to the class was required as part of theproject. Duration of the oral presentations was approximately 8-10-minutes, depending onspecific class size and number of sessions devoted to student presentations (typically 2 classsessions). Additional time was allowed in the schedule after each presentation for questions anddiscussion. The entire project was worth approximately 25% of the course grade. The writtenreport accounted for two-thirds of the grade and the presentation for the remaining one-third. Thegeneral timeline and grading

Optimal Design of a Pump and Piping SystemAbstract The primary objective of this design project is to provide an opportunityfor undergraduate students to integrate engineering measurements and modelingtechniques to accurately predict a priori the optimum pump size, pipe diameters,and wall thicknesses of a pump and pipe system given specified flow rates andlengths of piping. A secondary objective of this design project is to providestudents with an opportunity to improve team and technical skills while groupedinto small teams. The teams are challenged to predict the pipe diameters andpump size used to serve two parallel branches of a piping system. The experimental apparatus is a pre-developed system that includes threedifferent size

Integrating Reflection: Require students to reflect on their design decisions, challenges faced, and lessons learned. Reflection helps students internalize key concepts and develop a growth mindset.These recommendations highlight the potential for design challenges to serve as transformativelearning experiences. By incorporating iterative processes, real-world complexity, andcollaborative opportunities, educators can prepare students for the multifaceted demands ofengineering practice. Through the thoughtful integration of 3D printing, students not onlyvisualize but also physically

A full-duplexhardware implementation requires interfacing with internal processor registers and memory.Software UARTThe standard format for asynchronous serial data transmission is shown in Figure 1 [3]. Thebeginning of a data byte is indicated by a start bit and the end is framed by a stop bit. Data bitsare sent least significant bit (LSB) first and the eighth bit is an optional parity bit. The number ofbits transmitted per second is commonly referred to as the baud rate. This rate establishes thetiming for each bit. Figure 1.

finding a gap in a marketand providing innovative solutions to problems [3]. However, for a start-up to succeed, multiplesteps need to take place. A problem needs to be identified, research needs to be done and peopleneed to be talked to, a product concept needs to be developed, the product needs to be tested, andcustomers need to be found [4]. It is during this time, while start-ups are struggling to getfunding and solve the problem they have identified, that they also need technical support. Tocreate viable products, technical expertise is needed, and this is where engineers can help.Engineers are an important part of many start-ups. They provide the technical support and designskills needed to create the product [5]. Engineers are even more

Other studies have also looked at student confidence in theirchoice of major [5] and [6]. Other factors that go into the choice of major have also beenconsidered in previous studies. Kelly, Maczka, and Grohs found that student identity andmotivation constructs are not significant predictors of changes in major [7].

(2) Didthe first-year engineering program provide them with sufficient introductory courses andinformation sessions to assure them of their major choice?

Students then apply these concepts to two projects duringthe quarter-long course (i.e., 10 weeks), beginning with an individual clock project followed by alonger team-based robotics project. While successful completion of a calculus-based science-engineering general physics course is required, it is not expected, nor required, that students whoregister for the course have experience with CAD, engineering design, fabrication or robotics.Indeed, majority of students arrive with little to no hands-on engineering design experience.During the first three weeks of the quarter, students learn basic CAD skills, metal fabricationtechniques and use of the laser cutter in the 3 hour long weekly lab sessions to
