Students learn and apply energy methods,Rayleigh-Ritz approximation for beam bending, single-cell web-stringer analysis, multi-cellweb-stringer analysis, and column and sheet buckling. The Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET) [5] outcomes for this course are • (1) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. • (3) an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences • (5) an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership

focus on Science, technology, engineering and math(STEM) education. The clear evidence of women going into these disciplines can be attributedto a number of efforts in outreach to women and other under-represented minorities (URMs). While these numbers look encouraging, there remain large gaps in certain sectors, inparticular, welding engineering and engineering technology [7]. Engineering technology, inparticular is often misunderstood. Many undergraduate welding engineering programs producegraduates with degrees in engineering technology. This degree can be unappreciated by industryand often engineering technologists are barred from employment or are considered techniciansrather than engineers [8]. This is largely due to social gaps in

The system is currently intended for ten students but can beexpanded in the future if needed. Every student reads an introduction on the cyber-attacks theyare implementing and defending from the other student’s implementations. Then they take a quizon the material before launching a virtual machine for a hands-on experience dealing the withcyber security topics they are now familiar with.

In our results, this was most prevalent in students whoviewed coding as something unimportant to their future as an engineer or who felt they did nothave the skills necessary to complete the assessment effectively. Using AI to replace confidenceis a big hurdle pro-AI professors must overcome because we seek to supplement education withAI, not replace learning. On the other hand, banning AI outrightly also has unintendedconsequences.In the Fall 2023 term, students were tasked with an asynchronous, open-notes, multi-attemptC++ assessment [16] with explicit instructions to not use ChatGPT and other AI and to not copyanswers from the internet (a hedge against websites like Chegg and CourseHero

classrooms.However, it is expected that these engineering students will be able to manipulate materials,energy, and information in their professional roles. However, students must have aknowledge that goes beyond mere theory. Fundamental knowledge, traditionally gained ineducational laboratories, provide a better base that is long lasting and easy to recall in futurebased on their experience and sensory memory. Learning styles vary person to person asdiscussed in many publications [1-5]. Since routine class lectures normally do not promoteactive learning and not every student can easily absorb and understand theoretical knowledgepresented in this kind of class setting, hands-on laboratory based assignments usually aremore effective in generating a greater

The consensus for the lecture content of these MEMS programs revolve around a “crashcourse” style format due to the numerous parts of widely varying engineering disciplines involvedin the MEMS field. Students will come face to face with principles and content originating frommechanical, material, electrical, and chemical engineering used in the context of MEMS design,fabrication, and testing. These topics will never be totally covered by the average undergraduate’sprevious course work, so the student must be prepared to exercise flexibility when studying these“back-fill” subjects [26].
