The systemwas required to work in real-time and no prerecorded sounds were allowed, enabling amusician to freely improvise. Most importantly, a New York jazz musician, turnedclinical professor of music, visited the class on several occasions with his improvstudents. The trained musicians acted as end users and clients. They made suggestionsthroughout the semester and pushed the engineering students in new directions, oftenteaching them a good deal of music theory in the process.Course Structure and AssignmentsStudents still learned the topics of a more traditional signals and systems
Supplementary Information (Fig. S2).Results and Discussion The integration of curated activities like the CFAs into the curriculum of E102 aimed toraise students’ awareness on the different facets of sustainability and their connections toengineering, while enhancing and boosting educational outcomes of engineering first-yearstudents by providing a structured educational framework. Hence, our study aimed at assessing aseries of hypotheses discussed hereinafter.Hypothesis 1: The CFAs embedded in the Learning Management System (LMS) along with theasynchronous resources available to students will increase students’ engagement and promptnessfor assignment completion.

The class “Science and Technology in the Arts” is taught atColumbia College Chicago as part of the Liberal Arts and Science curriculum offer by thecollege to provide the required general education credits. This course is not a requirement for anyof the majors offered at the institution. Checking the rosters from the past six years of studentsthat took this course, it is possible to see that there is not a pattern that links students’ majorswith taking the course.

Engineering disciplines at the institution studiedinclude: aerospace, chemical, civil, computer, electrical and mechanical, along with computerscience and environmental geosciences. The students begin to take courses specific to theirchosen disciplines at the start of sophomore year. Historically, 85% of students who leaveengineering do so before the end of the first year, and the majority of the rest who leave do soduring the first semester of sophomore year. Thus, because this study involved sophomores,juniors and seniors, it does not evaluate the

IntroductionIn response to accreditation requirements, many universities include team-based project coursesin their curriculum. Most often these team-based projects are in engineering design courses, asthey allow for longer-term projects that are sufficiently complex to require more than oneindividual’s contributions for successful completion. These courses typically occur at either thefreshman or senior level where students can engage with real-world industrial clients to solveactual problems. The accreditation requirement

The competencies are focused on students and earlycareer academic professionals and especially those entering careers in FEWS fields and thoseteaching or mentoring these groups. The review identified competencies related to six domainareas, oriented around the individual, relationships and connections, team, process, outputs andoutcomes, and growth. As academic institutions continue to recognize the role oftransdisciplinary research in addressing complex societal issues, graduate education programswill have to incorporate transdisciplinary competencies into the curriculum.

layerseparation thus improving lift, reducing drag, and delaying stall for an airfoil. Dimples werechosen since conflicting observations exist in the literature, and this would be a good challengefor the student. This paper numerically investigates the effectiveness of dimples on a NACA4414 airfoil while also addressing the conflicting observations available in literature and thethought process of the student.First, an extensive literature review was conducted by the student to observe the use of dimpledsurfaces with respect to airfoils. The various configurations pertaining to a single dimple shape,size, and axial location and their efficacy were considered. Following this, the NACA 4414airfoil was numerically analyzed using the Computational Fluid
