EENV 102 was delivered for the first time in Fall of 2023 and EENV202 was first delivered in the Spring of 2024. Both courses consist of 3 credits of lecture and in-class project work sessions. Both are offered once per academic year and are required forEnvironmental Engineering majors. Enrollment has been approximately 60 students in EENV102 and 30-40 in EENV 202.

As an engineer you will have to not only develop, but also master some ofthese (meta) competencies. In this short assignment I am challenging you to:1. Perform a self-evaluation of your technical competencies and meta-competencies.2. What are the competencies (technical and meta) you think you will need to survive

I thenbegan to wonder if students have spaces or tools that allow them to notice and name moments ofinjustice in their educational experience. Sharing these thoughts with my PhD advisor led to theconcept of hermeneutic injustice.My interest in the student experience is more broadly aligned with my interest in justice in(higher) education.

The360-feedback at evaluation-1 would already include a formal self-evaluation and would achievethe purposes of heightening self-awareness. Even though students would not formally ratethemselves for evaluations 2 and 3, when people receive ratings and feedback from others theyinstinctively "rate" themselves internally; it's a part of human nature. It seems that withsubsequent evaluations, formal self-ratings become redundant and are viewed simply as a task tobe performed.It would be beneficial to have students administer their own feedback, although they would allstill be required to follow a uniform procedure. There are multiple reasons

scored from one to six. This created two issues thatthe authors wished to address with the new rubric. The first is that this approach gave equalweight to each criterion, such that the evidence of technical mastery carried the same weight asthe bibliography. Secondly, this broad stroke approach gave more discretization to many criteriathat didn’t need it, such as the bibliography or tables. The authors felt that criteria such as thesedidn’t warrant six discrete criteria, but could rather be appropriately assessed with a three pointscale instead. The proposed rubric varied both in the scale size (6- and 3- point) and also thevalues (1-3, 3-5, 1-6) to account for both the number of discrete criteria a criterion couldrealistically be partitioned

, 2017 Teaching Systems and Robotics in a Four Week Summer Short CourseAbstractThis paper describes a four-week summer short-course designed to introduce students withlimited hands-on technical experience to the low-level details of embedded systems and robotics.Students start the course using a Raspberry Pi 3 to learn the basics of Linux and programming,and end the course by competing in a capture-the-flag type competition with the web-configurable GPS-guided autonomous robots they designed and tested in the course. Throughoutthe course, students are introduced to programming languages including Python and PHP,advanced programming concepts such as using sockets for inter-process communication
