However, as a profession, engineering has incredible potential to promote andimprove the quality of life for both individuals and communities. Further, engineering projectsare required to meet codes, standards, and

While some researchers argue that social media can enhance studentengagement and learning, others suggest that its use may negatively impact learningoutcomes[10]. Studies have investigated the impact of social media on engineering educationand have found mixed results. A study conducted by [11] showed that social media platformssuch as Twitter and Facebook improve student engagement, as students were more likely toparticipate in class discussions and share course-related information on these platforms.However, another study by [12] found that the use of social media had no significant impact onstudent

the following premise: Assume that you are an employee at Jim’s Donut Shop in Vandalia. Your supervisor, upon hearing that you’re taking a programming class, asks you to write a program that calculates the cost of a customer’s purchase. Fortunately for you, while there are over 40 varieties of donuts available, there are only two pricing categories for donuts: regular and fancy. Those varieties considered as “regular” donuts are priced at 75 cents individually, or you can get a dozen for $7.99. “Fancy” donuts, on the other hand, are priced at 85 cents each, or at $8.49/dozen. Also available at Jim’s are their humungous apple fritters, priced at $1.50 each (sorry, no volume discount).With this paragraph, the word problem is

If this objectiveis to be realized, it is necessary to provide a bridge that allows student engineering talent to berecognized by the local engineering firms. The bridge, in this case, was the attendance of localengineers or technical administrators along with the parents of the participants, some of whohappened to be local engineers, at the final presentation by the students.Course
