The initial problem thatwas featured was truss analysis (method of joints). The second problem type was free bodydiagrams with point loads at any angle. The most recent sketch recognition feature was theaddition of applied moments, using a curved arrow. For any of these problem types, SketchMechanix features sketch recognition and automatic feedback to students on their free bodydiagrams through an online homework platform.With this latest innovation, instructors adopting this novel homework system can now input theirown problems, view student scores broken down by problem, and adjust assignment due dates.Prior to the

-year completion rates are estimatedto be only 43% [2]. Each graduate student that leaves her or his program also represents a loss oftalent and lost investment from funding agencies, departments, faculty, and the studentsthemselves. While the lack of a PhD is not a barrier to career success, retention of the PhDworkforce is important for innovation and national competitiveness and is required to broadenparticipation in engineering and the professoriate. Recent reports from the National Academies[3, 4] point to a crisis in graduate education in terms of student preparation and psychosocial well-being, both of which can impact attrition at the doctoral level.We are currently in year 5 of the CAREER grant, with Phase 1A accomplished to date

The mission of the Societyfocuses on “innovation, excellence, and access at all levels of education for the engineeringprofession” and, as such, it makes sense that a national organization focused on engineeringeducation lead this effort in the US. In particular, the goal of ASEE through this effort is todevelop a framework for formal recognition of faculty (both engineering and engineeringtechnology) professional development in teaching.Some work began more than a decade ago and was buoyed by recent grassroots efforts of ASEEmembers in 2015.

. Additionally, senior projects motivate students to contribute to ECE education by exploring new technologies and developing innovative solutions that can benefit society. Through their senior projects, students can learn the importance of collaboration, project management, and communication skills, which are critical in the field of ECE. Our team, which has 9 students, in this project has a unique opportunity to work on sensor fusion algorithms and tracking for autonomous systems sponsored by industry and have some feedback from them. Autonomous systems trust a set of sensors that provide data about the surrounding environment to feed the perception system. These sensor sets typically include LIDAR, cameras, ultrasound
