large class section with smaller discussionsections could improve the quality of learning for young students. Lecture format is onlyeffective to model problem solving and critical thinking, to show enthusiasm, and to explain verycomplex concepts where the instructor has expertise. However, actual implementing small groupdiscussion is more beneficial to provide feedback, promote social and emotional development,etc. Research points out effective use of small group approach showed increased self-esteem [3],improved ability to work in teams, and commitment to lifelong learning [4] to list a few amongmany. Other literature evidenced the effectiveness of cooperative learning which can also copewith limited resources [5], and interactive technology

While operations in commercial supply chains have been well studied, research studiesthat address coordination in humanitarian supply chains are still lacking. Unlike commercial supplychains, humanitarian supply chains focus on delivering what customers need rather than want withindifficult environments rife with uncertainty. This paper introduces the “Humanitarian

Fourteen students were selected at LargePublic U based on similar criteria – demographics and schedule availability. All studentinterviews were conducted in person with one or both of the researchers present.Engineering faculty were directly contacted and asked to participate based on the researchers’knowledge of the faculty at each institution and, at Large Public U, also through snowballsampling from faculty initially asked to participate. Faculty were approached based upon theirdiscipline, years of experience, gender, and LTS involvement to try and capture
Engineering Education, understand theimportance of sustainability with respect to engineering. Many engineering undergraduate andgraduate programs have responded to the demand for sustainability in engineering education bycreating programs that primarily aim to focus mainly on design and environmental impacts. Whilethose are critically important considerations, engineers must also consider the social, legal, andfuture impacts of their professional actions. With the input of experts from academia and industry,the ASEE’s Engineering for One Planet (EOP) initiative developed a framework to guide facultythat incorporates OP curricular modules into engineering education programs. The frameworkincludes topic areas that contain theories and concepts that
students complete the simple circuit assignment, they move on to the project milestones. Themilestones used for the course are detailed in Table 1. Students start by developing the systemadmittance matrix (𝑌!"# ) in Milestone 1. This requires students to properly model the networktopology and the connected equipment. Milestone 2 requires students to set up and initialize theNewton-Raphson iterative algorithm. In Milestone 3, students iterate through the four steps of theNewton-Raphson algorithm until convergence is met. In Milestone 4, students implement fastersolvers with lower fidelity. In Milestone 5, students develop the sequence networks required forperforming fault studies. In the last milestone, students perform all fault types (line-to

Fall 2020. Analyzing students' qualitative responses using a coding method hasbeen found to be the best method for grouping similar statements and experiences (Lester et al.2020). We will also discuss students’ responses to an assignment asking them to identify thecharacteristics of successful professional engineers. We developed metrics to inform studentattitudes towards economic, environmental, and social topics. After these metrics are decided,survey data including both closed and open-ended questions were quantitatively or qualitativelyevaluated to form meaningful conclusions. Data was then thematically analyzed to assess anypatterns. With these two initial pieces of program-wide assessment, the hope is to effectivelygauge whether the
