research initiative at our university, California Polytechnic StateUniversity in San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly), a group of about thirty researchers collaborated on aData Science Initiative (DSI), with an informal vision of ‘Data for All, Data for Good’. Aworking group, Ethics and Social Justice (ESJ), emerged from this larger team effort and wastasked to examine ways to assess the consistency and outcomes of activities with the collective’sstated vision. This notion of ‘Data for All, Data for Good’ captures the deeper and widely heldconvictions that data scientists, like other professionals, minister to the well-being of society,broadly construed (AI for Good Foundation, 2019; AI for Good Foundation & Syngenta, 2017;Bloomberg, 2015; Desai, 2021
EDUCATION Final Submission May 16, 2022: American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) 2022 Annual Conference and Exposition, Minneapolis, MN on June 26-29, 2022AbstractThe understanding and exposure to students of standards in science and engineering educationprograms is now essential to worldwide applications and is a keynote criterion for AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) certifications. ABET is a non-governmental accrediting organization that reviews post-secondary education programs inapplied and natural science, computing, and engineering. These standards range from the safeuse of consumer products to wireless technologies in fire and security systems. This paperprovides an update on the progress made

This which will be part of labs in a current fluid power and hydraulicscourse. The intention is to provide information on the various factors that play a role in definingthe energy efficiency of an industrial system. This reports on the work done, using a system-levelexperimental methodology, towards implementing automation for an hydraulic systems whereadjustments and changes can be performed to accomplish energy efficiency in real-time. Thehydraulic system implemented for this endeavor is
professionally and effectively. This section is graded onmultiple factors, including the use of filler words, tone, pace of speech, and body language. For example,a participant might be asked to explain how they would present a project to a client. Their responsewould be evaluated on how clearly and concisely they convey the information, avoiding excessive fillerwords like "um" or "like." In addition, the participant's tone should be appropriately professional andadjusted for the scenario—neither too formal nor too casual. Body language, such as maintaining goodposture and appropriate gestures, will also play a role in how they are graded.User Profiles: To enhance user experience and provide personalized training, the platform will includecustomizable

Organizations like theU.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) trace energy consumption from source(petroleum, natural gas, renewable energy, coal, & nuclear) to end-use sector (transportation,industrial, residential, and commercial) [12]. Nearly 38% of primary energy in the United Statesis used to produce electricity, ultimately servicing every end-use sector. To meet society’ssustainability goals, emerging initiatives to reduce carbon emissions often rely on electrifying allend uses of

Theinfluential historian of technology, Eugene Ferguson, makes just this point to close his book,Engineering and the Mind’s Eye: If we are to avoid calamitous design errors as well as those that are merely irritating or expensive, it is necessary that engineers understand that such errors are not errors of mathematics or calculation but errors of engineering judgment—judgment that is not reducible to engineering science or to mathematics. Here, indeed, is the crux of all arguments about the nature of the education that an engineer requires

If any question or issue raised in thechatbox needed the instructor’s attention, the GTA would inform the instructor immediately sothat the issue or the question could be addressed in real time before the class moved to the nexttopic.In addition to the Hybrid delivery mode used for the lectures, several other technological toolswere used in order to

Topicsfrom each of the disciplines are introduced to provide a baseline for project work. For example,in the Fall of 2022, the class was taught Autodesk Fusion 360 [12] for CAD work and 3Dprinting. This was of direct benefit to students in the Mechanical/Manufacturing programs. Theclass taught basic programming skills using Python. This was of benefit to all students. And, theclass was taught to interface the Raspberry Pi Pico. This directly benefited students in theElectrical/Computer programs.
