Virtual Manufacturing meets the abovechallenges by providing the capability, in essence, to continue manufacturing in the virtual worldof the computer. Through the use of distributed manufacturing modeling and simulation, VMenables the enterprises to evaluate the producibility and affordability of new product and/orprocess concepts with respect to risks, their impacts on manufacturing capabilities, productioncapacity, and cost.Virtual Manufacturing is one of the key technologies that allow going beyond the assumptionsdriving the old acquisition strategies.

Eachlecture was to be delivered by myself and Dr. Wood. In addition, Dr. Schmidt was to present theexact same lecture to his section. As a result, after preparation, I discussed each lecture withboth faculty, so that they would be comfortable presenting the material.

With the increased emphasis on improved teaching and learning of STEM disciplines in K-12 classrooms, Tank examines how to better support and prepare pre-service and in-service teachers to meet the challenge of integrating STEM disciplines in a manner that supports teach- ing and learning across multiple disciplines.

However, their evolvingunderstanding might be challenged by their experience in courses, like thermodynamics, where problems areoften framed to have deterministic answers and definitive correctness [4]. These contrasting experiences couldlead the student to develop complex and multifaceted epistemic beliefs, such as distinguishing betweenengineering work and engineering education, or assigning a specific role to authority figures in shaping theirunderstanding of “correct” approaches to engineering [5], [6].

In conventional design, specially-built hardware is implemented to performcommunication for a particular, radio-specific modulation scheme, usually over a limitedfrequency range. In contrast, SDR systems offer much more flexibility by implementing themodulation/demodulation functionality in software.

Students from a large Midwestern university in theU.S. narrated their institutional experiences during their time in the major and their reasonsleading to the decision to migrate to other STEM majors. The qualitative data along withschematic descriptions from the interviews were studied through the lens of Tinto’s model ofinstitutional departure. Qualitative analysis reveal that students migrate to other engineeringmajors because their interest in AE dwindled primarily because it constrained their careeroptions or that a getting a job in AE industry is very difficult due to the low number of jobsavailable. The latter sentiment, while untrue, is being fueled by the misrepresentation of

Finally, though women in the participant poolmentioned leadership as a challenge more often, there seemed to be few qualitative differencesbetween the way men and women discussed those challenges.That women face potentially gender-based challenges in the engineering workplace negates thecommon premise of engineering skills as non-socially-bound and individualistic.
