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

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

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.

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

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.

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
