learning is easier when the reinforcement closely follows the action.17 Teamtesting provides the reward of rapid feedback in two ways. First, it provides students withsolution feedback and secondly, it provides feedback about their own performance and how itrelates to the performance of their peers.3.2 JustificationCooperative learning in a testing environment is beneficial because students develop groupinteraction and individual reasoning skills with the encouragement of a reward. The studentshave spent time considering the problems before discussion, which encourages them to becomemore involved. In fact, team-testing discussions are amongst the most lively and energetic in ourcourses, in part because of emotional reactions to learning answers

A simpleway to give the students the systems engineering experience they will need is through theparticipation in one of the many competitions that are available to engineering students. Thefocus of this paper is not to imply that participation in engineering competitions will be asubstitute to having a systems engineering program nor is it implied that this experience will bein any way complete.

necessary to consider how to retire the system and costs related to retirement must be included in the optimal design. In order to achieve this goal, we should be able to formulate the design model and prepare the model for optimization based on the life cycle cost (LCC)3. In this paper, we discuss these steps in the context of a gas transmission system design. We develop a reasonably realistic model of a representative gas pipeline transmission system and use it as benchmark problem to evaluate the applicability of optimization technique. Although numerous optimization techniques are available and every one claims to obtain optimal solution for every kind of design problems but in reality it is not

Instead, Romero Rodriguez used the gamificationaspects of Nearpod to deliver instruction on the engineering curriculum to two of their threecourse sections, with the last section receiving instruction as traditional lectures. They found thevast majority (98%) preferred the gamification instruction used in Nearpod to the traditionalmethods. In addition, 91% of forty-seven students surveyed shared that lectures using Nearpodincreased their motivation for the course topics. The gamified group also had an increasedpassing rate and higher

Institutions anddepartments should consider developing more robust support structures that go well beyond whatis typically considered an accessibility service. For example, creating opportunities for studentsto be mentored with peers or professionals who might share similar experiences. Perhaps one ofthe strongest interventions to support and promote sense of belonging would be curriculum andpedagogy adjustments that include more diverse perspectives, especially including those ofpeople with disabilities.

The objective of the first phase of the study was to find out how survey responses could be used to predict whether a student could be considered at-risk for failing academically. The objective of the second phase discussed in this article is to analyze and quantify the effects of in-class interventions on student study habits and, ultimately, their academic performance using action-state orientation surveys as engineering students progress in their respective curriculum. While these surveys are anonymous, it is crucial to be able to track changes in academic performance for individual students across multiple semesters as they go through the various stages of their

instructorsmay lack the requisite knowledge of STEM specialties, which can create a deficit for students[23]. MSI college entrance SAT scores are lower than non-MSI at about 89.3%, exceptAANAPISI and AANH, which tend to be much closer to average [5]. When considering howinstructors respond to students who may have additional needs due to their K-12 education, theymay be unable to overcome “deficit ideology” [24, 25]. MSI are more likely to have minoritystudents who did not take Advanced Placement courses than non-MSIs [26].
