Atotal of 116 math and science teachers and college counselors completed the two-credit hourcourse during the first four offerings. Course evaluations indicated that the course wasextremely well received and accomplished the stated objectives. This paper discusses the needfor such a course, the course objectives, strategies for accomplishing the objectives, and theparticipants’ feedback on the course. It is hoped that this paper will motivate other engineeringschools to implement a similar course for teachers and counselors in their geographic area.IntroductionHistorically, student interest in

To shift the deficit-orientated mindsetthat is prevailing within the ecosystem, the project employs a framework of Community CulturalWealth, aiming to leverage the assets students bring from their communities [10]. Thissignificant paradigm and culture transformation is accomplished through several mechanisms(e.g., [11]), and progress will measured through a number of instruments, including theEducational Ecosystem Health Survey (EEHS).Overall Survey MethodologyThe authors have constructed a quantitative survey to measure the progress of the Eco-STEMproject in changing the STEM educational environment to that of a healthy ecosystem.

: o Partnership Interdependence -- refers to the extent that partners depend upon each other for resources or materials to accomplish the partnership objectives. Three types of interdependence have been identified: pooled, sequential and reciprocal. Pooled refers to relationships that are not highly interdependent where each partner works fairly independently. Sequential refers to relationships where the work of one partner feeds into the work of another partner and this second partner is not able to proceed until the work of the first partner is accomplished. Under reciprocal interdependence each partner must share work back and forth until it is completed. Reciprocal relationships are the most interdependent

This equation balances the energycoming into the system consisting of kinetic, potential, and flow components and work done by a pump with thesame components leaving the system and energy dissipated by friction. In order to correctly use this equation, thestudent must define a consistent system such that input and output values can be defined, and then specify variablesin the equation such that it can be solved in conjunction with a number of other equations

Howeverfundamental it may be to engineering students, SHM is one of the more demanding topics andoften misunderstood. Researchers found that passive instruction by talented teachers imparted littleconceptual understanding of Newtonian mechanics [1]. Good physical insight can lead to a deeperunderstanding of displacement and oscillation, which is a pervasive phenomenon in STEM.

The present project was undertakenas a research project by a sophomore student in Biomedical Engineering.Malfunctions and failures that occur during robot-assisted surgery may be broadlyclassified under operator errors and mechanical, electrical, and software failures.Reported electronic failures in robot assisted surgeries mention incidents of burns inpatients and the ability to burn flesh due to
