In the Internet of Things, sensors with theability to collect real-time data can be used by manufacturers, producers, supply chain, andconsumers. The advancements in big data and powerful analytics means that systems canprocess huge quantities of data and rapidly produce actionable insights. This results ininformation transparency and leverages a virtual copy of the physical world produced fromsensor data in order to contextualize information.

At core, a graphic novel is composed of pages thatcontain other elements. The fundamental elements include panels (outlined visual containers),speech containers, visuals, and text [3], [4]. The spatial organization of these elements and stylisticrendering provide the basis for a distinct visual identity of any given graphic novel [5], [6].

481 full-time faculty are tenured or tenure-track, an additional 144individuals are employed in part-time positions 3.One might draw several different conclusions from these observations. A cynical view might bethat budget shortfalls are forcing tenured faculty to spend more time on proposal writing andgrant solicitation and less time on teaching, requiring additional non-tenured faculty to pick upthe slack. As a result, students are shortchanged by having less qualified and less experiencedpersonnel in the classroom. A more realistic perspective may be that these types of non-tenuredpositions are attractive and offer several advantages to those seeking a more flexible position inacademia. Furthermore, those seeking such positions may be more

Women made modest gains inthe profession, but engineering is considered more appropriate for men based on genderedstereotypes.

creativity is “drummed out of engineering disciplines by rigorgatekeepers” [11, p. 251], which is not something that materializes without being cultivatedthrough early engagement in the curriculum [12]. Instead “creativity depends on our lifeexperiences” and “without diversity, the life experiences we bring to an engineering problem arelimited” [13, pp. 8-9]. This example is just one among many reasons why students’ who do notfeel supported in their ways of thinking may leave engineering or feel pressure to conform to thenorms of engineering. Research has shown that the process of educating engineers results inhomogenized approaches to problems, ways of thinking, and attitudes [14]–[18].
