The followingis a brief summary of the literature, which includes comparative studies as well as various formsof assessing the method from a student or instructor point of view.Sansom [7] used the DBL method with a class of approximately 200 first-year general chemistrystudents, focusing her EDM on solving problems for a unit about heat and enthalpy (subjectmatter also of great importance to engineering students). The scope of her model took two classperiods to introduce, during which the instructor worked 10 problems (scenarios). Students thenhad an opportunity to practice using the DBL method outside of class. The performance of thisclass of students on a unit exam was found to be
tools, learning goals, and participation strategies for high-achieving engineering and STEM students.IntroductionIn recent years, there has been a growing push for more engineering and STEM education at theK-12 level [1]–[3]. This is likely due to a growing gap in the supply and demand of STEM-enabled professionals across different industries, a gap that has been the topic of previousregulatory reports and national calls to action [4]–[6]. As such, researchers continue to more andmore look into how to support students learning these critical engineering and STEM skills at anearlier and earlier age as well as the motivations and barriers to entry in the STEM pipelinesrunning through the K-12 school
universitycreated IP were; 1) difficulty finding co-founders and people to build the company, 2) lack oftime to work on the company, 3) industry and capital connections, and 4) managing conflicts ofinterest[13]. Many a faculty resort to recruiting their graduate students and postdocs to be co-founders, but that often fails to address issues 3 and 4. Also, most universities have still notaligned their faculty-driven IP licensing and start-up generation aspirations with their tenure andpromotion policies, often creating a conflict between faculties success in their job and their IPdevelopment[10].Strategies for filing intellectual propertyWhen embarking on a new idea and business model, entrepreneurs need to leverageresourcefulness, time, and research as

Further investigation is needed to generalize the conclusionto introductory lab courses. The lab portion of the General Physics I course is only counted as12% of the overall grade.

An important reason for this“drawback” is that faculty members, today, often lack industrial experience and/ or any othertype of practical experience. This is particularly troubling when faculty members, straight out ofgraduate school and have

One lead developer was assignedthe task of reading all generated documentation with the assistance of two mechanical engineeringgraduate assistants (ME GAs) for the course being piloted. They wrote an analysis of how to proceedwith development. The developer works 20 hours a week with 1-3 hours spent on meeting with theCenter Director, the instructor and the ME GA. Initially, the developer concentrated on understandingall the documentation, asking questions, compiling new information and generating new files toorganize the new found data. Given that we are

This particular robotic arm was designed with four degrees offreedom and programmed to accurately accomplish simple and light material lifting task as in theproduction line in any industry. However, it can be used as pharmacy-based drug-giving robots; in themedical sector and in automation systems. The generation of the human-like manipulation motionshas been implemented and also tested successfully for the 4 degrees of freedom (DOF) arm of thehumanoid robot. The presented approach does not consider the dynamics of the robot arm. This wouldbe necessary to generate realistic velocity distribution for the manipulation

By adding demographic and financial aid data, it would bepossible to further slice and dice the data. For example, it would be possible to filter thevisualization to show transfer students and other populations of interest such as students that areworking part-time or full-time and students who are first-generation college students.References [1] Steve Cooper, Shuchi Grover, Mark Guzdial, and Beth Simon.

Although more recentestimates show OSINT receiving only 1% of the intelligence budget, open source intelligence isestimated to comprise 40-70% of the intelligence product in the US [1]. Luckily, in contrast totraditional clandestine methods of gathering intelligence, open source intelligence is fairly low incost and includes a high number of sources on a vast array of topics, with generally up-to-dateinformation that can be shared with anyone [9], [1].There are also a broader range of areas in which OSINT is useful since the Cold War, includingterrorism, major international crime, and arms dealing [9], expanding government-gatheredOSINT further into the defensive

Students aim to aid migratingbirds by building a structure to shield the natural area near highways from disruptive light andsound. To support their design work, students learn about the physical properties of light andsound as well as the biological structures that allow birds to see, hear, and generate sound.

affinity for mathematicsand science and encouraged them to pursue the profession. Other less commonly cited motivations forpursuing engineering are job prospects post-graduation, general interest in engineering, and a desire tocontribute to society. While these motivations portray a general understanding of how engineering isperceived as a job, they do not mean that they have a meaningful understanding of the profession. In fact,the literature suggests that most students do not actually understand the nature of engineering practiceupon entering a program, nor do they have any knowledge of the history of the profession (e.g., whymany practicing civil engineers need a professional license to work in the U.S.) [1-11]. For example,consider this

collaboratively learning in a MoM lab-basedcourse generated a variety of gestures including conceptually discordant gestures. Furthermore,when engineering students verbally expressed their conceptualizations of torsion, Grondin andcolleagues [8] found that engineering students’ discussion employed two different types of speech:(1) formalized speech (i.e., course-specific) that was explicitly from the MoM class and (2) speechindependent of these formalisms (i.e., non-course-specific). Students’ unique ways of perceivinga problem space while developing scientific reasoning [5] has been well-documented forcontributing to collaborative argumentation and negotiation in the processes of establishingcommon ground [10]. Thus, we hypothesize (H1) that, initially
/SSA group in the U.S. [1])are generally not the focus of research on engineering education studies. As shown in theliterature review, the scholarship that focused on WAFR engineering students studied theirgraduate experiences in the U.S., without considerable attention to their undergraduate academicjourneys obtained in their home countries. Finally, published articles frequently focus on WAFRand other SSA students who have attended well-resourced schools, come from middle to upper-income families, and were raised by educated parents [3], [4].This broader work seeks to fill these lacunae and to respond to the calls to explore intragroupdifferences amongst Black populations that have historically been treated as homogeneous [5],[6] and
