microplastics) [1], [2]. Particle science plays acrucial role in product quality, material transport and storage, manufacturing processes andadvancement of materials science [3]. For example, understanding particle behavior (i.e., dryflow, aggregation and agglomeration) at a mass scale is crucial to the safety and improvement ofstorage, transport and manufacturing processes [3].Despite calls since the 1990’s to increase the availability of a uniform particle sciencecurriculum, little progress has been made in integrating particle science into the currentengineering curriculum—resulting in a limited number of engineers trained in the field [1].Within the United States, particle science courses are sparse and lack uniformity within thematerials and

design, tests on water that was run throughtubes of sand of different grain sizes led to the conclusion that multiple layers were unnecessaryin maintaining the water quality. Rather, washed sand that removed the small sand fines was allthat was needed. The fines still needed to be removed because they would potentially cause theoutlet water to become cloudy and fines could also cause clogging in the filter. Washing sandwas the most efficient method because it removed fines and it was quick and simple to perform.Basically, sand was sifted with a 2-mm mesh to remove gravel. The sand was then placed in a 5-gallon bucket and mixed with water (water to sand volume ratio was 3:1) for 10 seconds tosuspend the fine particles. The water with suspended

Mathematical Preparation and Engineering PersistenceAbstractThis work-in-progress research paper is at the early stages seeking to further understand the linksbetween incoming engineering students’ mathematical preparation and their actual degreeattainment in engineering. The importance of mathematical achievement and preparation toengineering persistence has long been studied. This investigation seeks to further enhance thisresearch-base. A sample of 450 incoming engineering majors were divided into three differentengineering tracks by their university based upon their level of mathematics preparation:Engineering Track 1 (Calculus-ready), Engineering Track 2 (Calculus-ready with Precalculusreview), and Engineering Track 3 (College Algebra-ready
incorporating the following: 1) documentingcommunication that fosters co-design between students and the community, 2) reporting on thetesting in an actual setting, 3) identifying the societal and technical constraints to provide contextfor the design, and 4) incorporating milestones and tasks for project management that includessocietal interactions. Effective documentation is important since projects are designed bystudents who generally only work on the projects for a single academic year. Course instructorsmay change as well, but the documentation can assure that there is continuity from one year tothe next. Thus, effective documentation is critical for project sustainability, allowing for futurestudents and instructors to assess past community
journey. Last but not least, test scores commonlyassess student performance, but they do not provide a complete measure of students' interests andtheir level of engagement in the class [2]. Several approaches have been proposed in theliterature to mitigate this problem. Among them, in this paper, we are interested in the use ofdigital badges to enhance students’ motivation, develop long-lasting enthusiasm for masteringcalculus, and provide an alternative way to showcase their learning progress [3].According to [4], digital badges are essentially virtual artifacts granted to individuals as micro-credentials to record events, such as achievements, competencies, or mastery of skills, whichcould involve completing a course, participating in
development?5. Theory 3: Guiding Criteria for Engineering Projects with CommunitiesAccording to rural sociologists Bridger and Luloff [28], sustainable development has not beenachieved since its adoption in the early 1990s because its well-intentioned goals and practiceshave been appropriated by the technocrats of international development who live and work farremoved from the daily struggles of most people on the planet (for a full critique of sustainabledevelopment discourse, see [28]. For a critique of the planning mentality behind sustainabledevelopment, see [29]). Hence they challenged us to conceptualize, develop and practicesustainable development in the localities most affected by macro-scale phenomena as climatechange and social inequality
engineering students should provide at least five things to lead to students’further academic success and prepare them for the job market: 1) material mastery, 2)communication, and collaboration, 3) software/programming skills, 4) learning andmetacognition, and 5) confidence. Students in traditional lecture-based classrooms may not betaught these skills [1][2]. Numerous studies have shown that active and cooperative learningclasses are better at addressing these than traditional lecture-based classes [3]. Some examples ofActive learning (AL) and Cooperative learning (CL) [4] are 1) Flipped classroom, 2) Studentpresentation, 3) Student projects, 4) Student discussion, and 5) Student group work.A traditional calculus class is often content-driven and

This provided the backdrop of the game. The surveyalso identified the course concepts that students find challenging, which formed the educationalcontent of the game. Second step focused on the technical development of the game using theTMEG framework. Unity game engine was used to develop the game that embedded the identifiededucational content within the selected TV series-based theme. The game used game tasks,animations, videos to deliver the educational content within the game narrative. The outcomes ofthis research could lay a foundation for the future

The Union CollegeMechanical Engineering department has been redeveloping the curriculum to make it moreinclusive and meet the college-wide general education goal, one of which is connectingdisciplinary content with complex global challenges. This paper presents the approach ofconsolidating the 3–4 independent materials science labs into one project that addresses realworld challenges. In the materials-based project-based lab(PB-Lab), students work in groupsand identify the provided materials (morphological, structural, property, process) to createsolutions for a scenario in an ongoing global crisis with set timeframes and constraints.

We describe the course, which used human-centered designprojects as a mechanism to partner with community organizations. Based on a thematic analysisof three reflective essays (n = 105) for each student (n = 35), we found four distinct patternsrelated to identity development in relation to community engagement. We

Student survey results show that they can help inattainment of all 11 ABET criterion 3 outcomes. ABET is the accrediting agency forengineering and technology. Statistical analysis of the survey results divided the 11 outcomesinto 11 groups, technical development and professional development. Case studies can makestrong contributions to both components. The impact is definitely affected by the type of course,and there also seemed to be a difference in impact between lower and upper division courses.This suggests that failure cases have greater impact after students have achieved a higher level ofmaturity and a

that students are not ahomogenous group, even if they come from similar cultural backgrounds. Therefore, facultymembers must strike a balance between learning about their students' cultural backgrounds andgetting to know the individual, micro-level factors that shape each student's uniqueperspectives. As such, it is vital that faculty members prioritize building meaningfulrelationships with their international students and seek to understand their unique experiences,rather than relying solely on cultural stereotypes or assumptions. By doing so, they can create asupportive and inclusive learning environment that benefits all students, regardless of theircultural background. • Strategy 3 – Create a culture of respecting differencesCreating a
motivational aspects might also be crucial determinants for determining theperformance and perseverance of engineering students [3].Many engineering students in Bangladesh are primarily motivated by their own aspirations.Increased self-efficacy is mainly congruent with the idea of greater ambition. When studentsbelieve in their ability to complete a particular activity or objective, they are driven to act inways that increase the likelihood of success [1]. Often, students are motivated to succeed inengineering by their passion and attitude [11]. In addition, a solid foundation in disciplines suchas mathematics, physics, and science inspires students to pursue higher education in engineeringto pursue a career in various sophisticated and intriguing
