She obtained her B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2005. Her Ph.D. work at Stan- ford University focused on optoelectronics, and she continues that work in her position at the Colorado School of Mines, primarily with the involvement of undergraduate researchers. In her role as an Associate Teaching Professor, she is primarily tasked with the education of undergraduate engineers. In her courses
encompasses many network layers. The main layer is an Ethernet network which isused to network the SLC with all cell level controllers and software control. OPC (Open Protocolfor Communication) is the technology that is used to establish the communication in between thedifferent controllers across the network. The control at the various cell levels is made across different field buses. At cell 1 and forconveyor control, a DeviceNet network is used whereas for cell 2 a ProfiBus network is used toconnect the cell controller to the machines and robot. The control of the AGV is made using awireless connection and there is also a completely separate SafetyBus p network from Pilz Co. tocarry emergency signals from emergency stop buttons and sensors.2.6

According to Grossman and Porche,“Supportive figures can mitigate the effects of negative societal messages. Supportive influencesthat challenge stereotypical gender or racial/ethnic expectations can enhance adolescents’ STEMengagement” [5]. Childhood experiences like talking with friends or family about science andreading or watching fiction and nonfiction science media can have significant positive influenceson students’ STEM identity. Informal STEM learning experiences have been shown to increasestudents’ STEM interest, as well as their sense of recognition [6].Research points to the importance of community

. Moreover, students mustalso be cognizant of the clinical perspective, both of the medical staff and the patient. This requiresstudents to bridge multiple disciplines with different pedagogical frameworks. In addition to thesechallenges, medical technology and knowledge is constantly and rapidly evolving, causing some contentto become obsolete before graduation. Therefore, it is imperative that BME students develop knowledgeacquisition, integrative thinking, and problem-solving skills in order to prepare for and adapt to thebreadth and pace of the field.Drawing inspiration from medical education, problem-based learning (PBL) has emerged as an effectivestrategy for mitigating these challenges in BME education [1-3].

teams often make it economically unfeasible to attempt incorporation with the traditional organizational structure, thus, matrix organizations are formed in which inter departmental teams are utilized. However, the knowledge and expertise sharing that makes matrix organizations increasingly attractive blurs responsibility-authority relationships. With the inevitable emergence of intra-team leaders and faculty who intrinsically lean toward detailed interactions with students, the “senior design experience” afforded MSEM candidates the opportunity to manage blurred authority-responsibility relationships. Badawy (1995) traces the origin of matrix organizations to the use of cross-departmental or functional teams

During the afternoons of thesecond week students will work in local manufacturing companies to learn how companies operate and solveproblems in a different culture at the base of the economic pyramid. In the third week, students from the US andNicaragua will work together to design and prototype solution to a problem identified by local community members.The aim of the combined team will be to design a solution that can be made in Nicaragua and sold at a price thataverage Nicaraguans can afford. The weekends will be reserved for visiting a rural community and
specific objectives of these activities are: i) to develop an understanding and an intuitionregarding the dynamic nature of structures in undergraduate students; ii) to reinforce theoreticalconcepts through the use of “hands-on” laboratory experiments; iii) to provide experience in theuse of modern engineering tools including sensors, actuators, and data acquisition/analysis equip-ment; iv) to provide non-engineering students with exposure to the potential consequences ofearthquakes and the dynamic behavior of civil engineering structures; v) to provide exposure toemerging technologies and modern methods in seismic resistant design; and vi) to improve tech-nical communication abilities through written reports and oral presentations.

side of a great, and unbridgeable, divide. I believe thistheory-practice dichotomy is a nonsense. Making this distinction is epistemologically andpractically untenable. Like it or not, we are all theorists and all practitioners. Our practice isinformed by our implicit and informal theories about the processes and relationships of teaching.Our theories are grounded in the epistemological and practical tangles and contradictions we seekto explain and resolve. The educational theory that appears in books and journals may be a morecodified, abstracted form of thinking about universal processes, but it is not different in kindfrom the understandings embedded in our own local decisions and actions.

Initially, the publication counts on the subject showcased a modest increase, with19 publications in 2005, fluctuating mildly within the range of 12 to 21 until a steady incrementpattern began in 2011. This increase, with a notable jump in 2014, i.e., the year of issuing ISO55000 Standard, continued to rise to a peak of 142 by 2022, suggesting a strong interest andrecognition of the field's importance by
segments, students tend to retain more information. Students should be expected to actively participate in the learning process through the use of in-class activities. This can include brainstorming with a neighbor, handing in a list of the points that need to be clarified for the next class period, or solving a semester-long problem. In addition, you may provide assignments that encourage group work. While all this activity may seem to take away from the time spent on the course material, active and cooperative learning have been shown to improve students’ performance and retention.

In developing a clearerunderstanding of how students participating in UREs perceive their researcher identity, thoseinvolved in these experiences can better tailor engagement to enhance undergraduates’experiences.Researchers who study UREs have explored some of the broader student outcomes in a varietyof contexts (e.g., biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, science) [5], [6], [7].
