technology, the wind turbines generate electricitywhich is consumed locally to produce hydrogen via water electrolysis. The nitrogen is separatedfrom the air through the membrane separation units. The oxygen from both water electrolysisand air separation is the by-product. Then the hydrogen and nitrogen are mixed in a 3:1 moleratio, compressed, and produce ammonia in the reactors. Due to the limit of the wind-basedpower generation at certain area, each plant capacity at that area would be limited as well. In ourstudy, each plant has 8.2 tonne/day ammonia capacity with totally 184 identical plants to achievethe same 1500 tonne/day as the traditional one. Those plants would be distributed according tothe wind turbine locations. Then the liquified

Engineering Technology (ET) programs at community colleges andcolleges/universities play an essential role in meeting this demand through the preparation ofstudents who are well qualified to enter the technical workforce. Students enrolled in accreditedET programs conduct design projects that provide opportunities to apply content knowledge andgain valuable workplace skills.

. In contrast, the increase of low-SES students in collegeenrollment was non-significant. Similarly, Perna and Titus24 discovered that the fraction of low-SES students decreased in public four-year institutions. They further attributed such decrease tothose students’ fewer chances to receive a merit-based scholarship. Recently, Chen and Ohland14demonstrated that the adoption of merit-based scholarships was positively related to in-statestudent enrollment and the SES of engineering students.Academic behaviors—course-taking and course loadBesides the impact of threshold criteria on first-time student characteristics, student academicdecisions and behaviors through grade-based renewal requirements are observed to change in thepresence of merit

Trendsinvolving learning methods such as active learning, case-based learning, service learning,problem-based learning, and other teaching innovations have received positive reviews, in partfor their effectiveness and the ability of each to engage college students beyond the traditionallecture format. While novelty, variety, and student engagement have their merits in terms ofraising
Society for Engineering EducationSurvey responses were transcribed and coded, mapping each response to one or more themes. Eachopen-ended question had a set of themes that was induced from the responses in a first pass ofcoding. Themes were added and refined through a process of comparison with each new response.Once the themes stabilized, a second pass of coding ensured each response was compared againstthe complete set of themes. For verification and fine-tuning, one third of the responses (randomlyselected) and descriptions of the themes were given to a second researcher for coding.3.3 Institutional and curricular contextThe survey was completed in 2004 spring by students enrolled in the first of two introductorycomputer programming courses

The literature reviewyielded a whole range of purposes including: • Comparison of institutions • Evaluation of institutions/colleges/programs • Assessing progress towards strategic plan goals • Accreditation • Performance assessment, e.g., for promotion and tenure decision, of faculty • Guiding individual decision makingThe complexity of the problem of assessment and comparison is depicted by the illustrationdepicted in Figure 1.

oversaw all of the research: as students moved through the advancementstages within the lab, their access to the faculty member increases.While some engineering research groups are similarly structured, in the case of this particularinstitution, it was generally less common for the engineering graduate students to be members ofcollaborative teams in the same manner as that seen in the natural sciences. Faculty directed theresearch of multiple students, but from the student and faculty members’ interviews, it seems thatthe faculty member more often played the role of a “point person,” coordinating the work ofseveral students who generally worked independently on pieces of the project.3 The exception was the department without a doctoral program

as a bottleneck illuminates the ladder of barriers disabled students have to climb tosucceed [6]. We, the authors, typically take a social view of disability in presenting information forengineering instructors to change their practices to be more accessible to all students. A socialperspective of disability defines disability as a consequence of inaccessible environments, ratherthan an inherent problem in individuals. In other words, the environment is disabling, which inthis case is the classroom and administrative system of obtaining accommodations. Instructorscan use the insights gained from these interviews to develop awareness for accessibility in theclassroom beyond formal accommodations and become aware of the ways

initial presentation and validity testing of the EDVES in the first-yearengineering setting by Hylton et. al. [7]. Here, the 2014 Standards for Educational andPsychological Measurement were applied as the basis for evidence gathering and Cook’s evidencevalidation model was used for instrument validity [8]. Preliminary reliability testing depicts theEDVES having reasonable reliability in this general population based on computed inter-itemcorrelations, item-to-scale total correlations, and Cronbach’s alpha with few items being removedfrom analysis due to poor correlation values. With the validity of the instrument assessed by Hyltonet. al. in the first-year engineering context, this work observes the validity of the EDVES in the K-12 space through

learning through teamwork, while the latter focuses on projects that allow studentsand faculty to leverage the potential of teams to solve problems and support projects that oftenhave tangible outputs beyond the classroom. In some cases, in-class writing and work can beused alongside collaborative learning, where the goal is using writing and peer engagement tolearn course concepts more effectively [11, 12]. In other cases, teamwork assignments may notfocus on writing specifically but use writing to communicate design solutions or data analysis.Typically, these projects may culminate in a report, a presentation, or some tangible product thatinvolves writing (e.g. a final team report communicating results to a project sponsor). Theseprojects may
