ENGINEERING FACULTY INVOLVEMENT IN K-12 EDUCATION AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Philip L. Brach, PhD, PE, FNSPE, Distinguished Professor, Emeritus, Ahmet Zeytinci, PhD, PE, Professor University of the District of Columbia Washington, DCAbstractThe human mind is of its very nature inquisitive. It is a mystery of sorts why so relatively few individualspursue science and engineering careers, especially since they are well paying and very satisfying. Thispaper presents a history of the involvement of engineering faculty for more than 35 years in teachingstudents
108 Laboratory Enhanced Education in Biotransport Phenomena through COMSOL Multiphysics David Clague, Joshua Wilbur, Elizabeth Stasiowski, and Alyson Telford California Polytechnic State University, San Luis ObispoAbstractBiotransport Phenomena, that is, the transfer of Fluids, Mass and Heat in physiological systems,is fundamental to Biomedical Engineering (BME). As a consequence, undergraduate andgraduate BME curricula contain key courses in this area but, these courses tend to bemathematically intensive, and therefore it is difficult for students to visualize phenomena to

research has identified the challenges thatchatbots can potentially solve. These include providing mentoring for students and leveraging theadaptation capabilities of chatbots [2]. Currently, prototypes of chatbots have been tested on smallscales in the education sector where various chatbot programming platforms such as GoogleDialogFlow, and Amazon’s Alex Skills were utilized [3]. However, the frequency of use of suchchatbots has not been conclusively linked to improvement in student learning due to the lack ofcomprehensive question-answer databases [4]. 1ChatGPT is another recent advancement that looks promising. However, in terms of learning andteaching, the content it generates is not curated for
