systems in theengineering curriculum provides a rich vehicle for making connections with several other fieldsof study, which engineering students would do well to consider. An example is developed whichconsiders the system of life on Earth as a complex network of multiple interacting andinterrelated subsystems. The integration of the concept of affordance into a function basedreverse engineering approach is sketched. This approach provides additional insight into thesystem, which may lead to significant implications for the humanities and social sciences.Reverse Engineering in the Undergraduate CurriculumMuch of modern engineering education typically involves the infusion of ideas from thehumanities and social sciences in an effort to help

They compared expert and novice readers with a goal of improvingcomprehension. They noted expert readers: Made connections between new and prior information. Learned to distinguish important from less important ideas in the text. Were able to synthesize information within and across texts. Asked questions of themselves and the authors as they read. Made inferences during and after reading.Brown, Roediger, and McDaniel [5] concurred with these characteristics, noting these types ofactivities

Tools and resources, such as the “Advancing Inclusion and Anti-Racism inthe College Classroom: A rubric and resource guide for instructors” [17] and “Toward anantiracist engineering classroom for 2020 and beyond: A starter kit,” [18] were developed to helpfaculty reflect on their identity and positionality, consider their students’ lived experiences, andmove toward anti-racist pedagogy, assessments, and inclusive teaching practices.Within our department, there was a strong desire to make lasting changes to the culture andcurriculum. These efforts were driven by our graduate students with support from
Institutions and are intended to extendproven, research-based strategies into STEM education. The overarching goal of ENGAGE is toincrease the capacity of engineering schools to retain undergraduate students by facilitating theimplementation of three research-based strategies to improve the student day-to-day classroomand educational experience. There is research evidence demonstrating increased retention ofundergraduate engineering students, particularly women; and because they are enhancementsrather than changes to the curriculum, these strategies are very appealing.11One of the three strategies is to build and support faculty knowledge and skill to improveinteraction between faculty and first and second year engineering students inside and outside

Technology (MET) program. Most students are juniors entering the core sequenceof classes in the major. Many of the students in this fall quarter thermodynamics class will betogether on graduation day, and they come together for the first time in this class. Thoughstudents may have touched on many thermodynamics topics in Physics and Chemistry classes,this is their first engineering thermodynamics class. The current lab activities have evolved fromthose that were developed in the late 1980s and outlined in a paper by Kaminski (1) in 1995.In order to keep students interested and engaged, efforts have been made to make the activitiesrelevant to everyday life experiences. In some of these labs they must make and state engineeringassumptions to complete

RemarksTable 3. Workshop Day Three Schedule.Workshop ParticipantsWe were able to draw participants from a range of demographic and disciplinary backgrounds,including computing, education, engineering, social science, data science, copy editing, labororganizing, and curriculum development. We were particularly happy to have a relatively highpercentage of graduate students participate, and we look forward to seeing the excellentscholarship and advocacy that they will produce in the future. While we did not explicitly decideto exclude senior scholars from our event, we realized afterward that a benefit of not havinghigh-profile scholars was that the junior scholars and students may have felt more comfortablesharing their perspectives.

College of Engineering Northeastern UniversityAbstractAs Earth faces the dual issues of climate change, caused in large part by the generation ofelectricity through methods that use fossil fuels, and a growing energy crisis, the world is searchingfor ways to produce renewable energy utilizing existing infrastructure. The kinetic energy ofrainwater falling through gutters is a widely available yet untapped source of energy that could beused to generate electricity. No widely produced devices exist to harness this energy and convertit to electricity or some other useful form of energy. Our team focused on this development gap tocreate a system capable of generating electricity from this falling water. We sought to

structure ofassessment in higher education. In addition to a rising awareness of the mental health impacts of high-stakes assessment, questions have arisen around accessibility and equity in our assessment practices.From this conversation, the practice of competency-based or mastery-based education has become ahot topic in pedagogically minded circles. To summarize, competency-based assessment is the practiceof developing targeted assessments and standards of performance for each individual skill or outcomepresent in the course and building an assessment scheme based on how many of those outcomes aresufficiently mastered in the allotted time. A defining trait of these schemes is the ability to repeatindividual outcome assessments as needed to

This would provide an idea of the weak and strongareas of the course curriculum as well as identify possible factors for any differences that exist inthe performances. This is done with the use of analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistical tests. This paper is organized as follows: Section II contains the back- ground and related literaturereview for the research. Specifically, it gives an analysis of previous work done on studentenrollment and forecasting using time series analysis models, comparison of the conventional timeseries models with the neural network counterpart as well as shallow versus deep
