these FE models developed for this class. (1). FEA models help me understand the topics discussed in the vibration class. (2). FEA models improve my critical thinking in vibration analysis. (3). My techniques and skills of FEA modelling have been improved. Figure 8 shows the survey results. Many students suggest to have more realistic engineeringproblems involved in the FE modelling in their answers to the fourth question. The first question is the primary intention of integrating FE models in the class teaching.Responses to this question show that students benefit from these FE vibration models, whichprovide a visually oriented insight into engineering vibrations. The third question measures thecontribution of this innovative

Their feedback helped us to revise our scheduling and plan for thenext lecture/hands-on activity and make changes as necessary. To get a better understanding onthe students’ expectations and their learning goals, we asked the students about their favoritesubject areas and academic as well as career goals.Program’s Assessment (provided by the program’s Administration)All faculty submit an assessment (self-efficacy, self-reflection, creativity and innovation,collaboration/teamwork, problem solving/critical thinking, etc.) on every student on their roster.Students complete a faculty evaluation and

Education, 2020 Understanding Impact of a Design Thinking Intervention on Students’ Resilience (Work in Progress)IntroductionRecent developmental psychology research has revealed that, in an effort to protect youth fromharm/difficulties, current generations of students tend to be more sheltered from challengingopportunities [1]. As a result, students may be less able to cope with stressors and overcomeobstacles than earlier generations [2], making them underprepared for today’s demanding anddynamic work environment [3]. Many students do not possess the 21st Century skills needed toeffectively approach novel problems and produce innovative solutions [3],[4].In particular, individuals who have been sheltered from

Backup cameras are now required on all types of new vehicles and the visual guidelinesaugmented to the backup camera view greatly facilitates backup and parking. Heads-up displaysare now available on consumer vehicles that project information to the windshield, such as speedlimit, compass, navigation information. Realizing the potential of AR markets, technologygiants including Apple and Google released software development kits (ARKit and ARCore) tofacilitate development of AR applications on their mobile platforms. A variety of mobile ARapplications have been successfully developed, ranging from
advanced thermodynamics, so elementary calorimetrymodels strike them as oversimplified and wrong.5 Discussion and ConclusionsWriting these problems takes more time than simply drawing a random circuit. It may feelunsustainable to write such problems. Fortunately, many real applied circuits can spawn multipleindependent questions. Limiting behavior, maximum ratings, power, efficiency, or anotherparameter of interest can all be explored in a single circuit. A single circuit can be recycled intoseveral independent problems that ask different questions, stretching the output of one’s research.And unlike many forms of teaching innovation, homework problems are easily shared betweeninstructors without dramatic alterations to teaching style or course

The discussion of my time in Jordan demonstrates the beginning of my cultivation of a holistic view of problem solving, which I furthere developed with a number of interdisciplinary classes at Bucknell. A continued dedication of learning about disciplines outside my major equipped me with a sensitivity to different cultural, societal, political [issues, etc.]. The [opportunity] to live in a unique society and see how [Russians] interact with technology had a dramatic effect. It made me realize that different countries interact with different types of engineering innovation in different ways.Lessons LearnedThe review committee, while
