. Appendix ABig Belly Solar Case StudyBackgroundThe problem of waste management in urban settings is a problem that cities have been workingto tackle for a long time. Recently a number of new technologies, developed in part by engineers,have emerged to help combat common trash problems. The Big Belly Solar trash compactorsystem is one of the technologies that have been widely implemented, including on our owncampus here at Virginia Tech. As with many new technologies, there is some controversy aboutwhether these types of trash cans should be adopted widely, with arguments on either side. Thecases that you will read about look at two perspectives of the Big Belly Solar roll out in the SanFrancisco Bay area--one in the City of San Francisco, and

Foremost, the subscription costsof science, technology, engineering and medicine (STEM) journals and databases hadreached an unsustainable level, with the annual inflation rate being much higher than inother disciplines [1]. Moreover, the number of publications supporting traditionalengineering disciplines and new and/or interdisciplinary research is on the rise.Furthermore, the overall expansion of digital content availability lead to an

Thus, this will prepare the next generation of computer scientists to be effectiveAI-augmented professionals.1 IntroductionArtificial Intelligence (AI) introduces challenges to the traditional educational landscape.Educators need to teach students crucial concepts for their field but also need to prepare studentson how to use relevant tools for their future in the workforce. One such tool is the emergence ofLarge Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT-4, Copilot, and Claude, which show a significantleap in AI capabilities. Such technologies require educators to reevaluate teaching

The online assessment tools described in thispaper will help to close this feedback loop.IntroductionThe introduction of the Accreditation Board for Engineering EducationEngineering Criteria 2000 (ABET EC 2000) comprises a considerable milestonein the evolution of engineering and engineering technology education. The newABET criteria strongly accentuate a sensitivity to market needs. Measurement,feedback and continuous improvement form the corner stones of the ABET EC2000 philosophy. 1Cooperative education and internship

Widening the Umbrella in the Midst of a Pandemic: Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Students Join First Year Engineering Design CourseAbstractBackground: Prior to emergency remote instruction in Spring 2020, the UVM College ofEngineering and Mathematical Sciences (CEMS) began a significant realignment ofundergraduate curricula across its Engineering (Mechanical, Civil, Environmental, Biomedical,Electrical), Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science programs. An early outcome of thistransition was the redesign a first-year seminar course (1 cr.), previously only available tostudents in engineering. The proposed course (CEMS-050) would be required for all incomingfirst-time, first-year students (~300) and would create

These sources included, but were not limited to advisors, department/collegewebsites, faculty, TAs and friends.Every year the college held information sessions about the admissions process, and many of thestudents participating in this study reported meeting with department advisors in the college togauge their chances of getting into their chosen major. Additionally the departments in thecollege had information posted online that the students could consult prior to their admissions.Generally the students in the study reported consulting multiple sources

From a corporate expenditure perspective, the scale of investment inlearning is considered critical and has been identified as a “competitive differentiator” in themarketplace 4.

leadership skills by undergraduate engineering students is keyto a successful long-term career and has been highlighted by both the profession, academia andgovernment funding agencies as a critical need [1]. Increasing diversity and inclusion inleadership is also critical for technology companies as they become global enterprises [2].Research on pre-college variables on leadership skills of undergraduate engineering studentsfound that co-curricular experiences result in team-based leadership skill experiences forstudents. Underrepresented Minority (URM) students that participated in URM organizationsexpressed greater leadership skill development. However, “students’ precollege characteristicsand experiences have minimal contribution to students
