Prepare Los Angeles for the 2028 Olympic Games?Curriculum. The three-week Program Curriculum started from macro-level down to micro-level, fromdrawing a big picture to gradually introduce various modern design tools. It started from a transportationsystem overview (day 1) to transportation planning (day 2), to transportation management (day 3), thento each transportation mode (day 4: water; day 5: air; day 6: railway). From day 7, we came back to focuson highway mode and then zoom in to each specific technical area: traffic safety (day 7), highwayconstruction and management (day 8, day 9), Building Information Modeling (BIM) (day 10). From Day 11to 14, we spent four days looking into the modern technologies offered by geospatial engineering

producers of podcasts. In short, rather than listening to podcasts to receive course material,students create their own podcasts as part of an active educational experience. Recent articlesaddress student-created podcasts for a diverse range of majors, including business,6 literature,7language-learning,8 information technology,9 and general engineering.10 The level of technicalassistance with the recording and editing aspects of the assignments varied greatly, from noassistance to dedicated class sessions and expert assistance. Podcasts were assigned as both teamand individual assignments. Most, but not all, podcast assignments required interviews. Overall,the student assessment of the assignments ranged from mixed to positive. The variety of

successfully improved their ability to apply MATLAB analysis tools andsuccessfully applied and improved understanding of prerequisite material.IntroductionThe structure of the Biomedical Engineering program at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo mirrors thatof many peer institutions, with background coursework in chemistry, biology, math, and physicsoffered by other departments being taken before students engage in core BME courses at thejunior level. The first junior-level BMED course is BMED 310: Biomedical Measurement andAnalysis. After completing BMED 310, students continue to complete core and technical areaelectives. There are three concentration options: General (no concentration), Bioinstrumentation,and Mechanical Design. Overall, Biomedical Engineering

institutions of higher learning. [1] While notall instructors use LMSs or online tools, a significant number use them to share class material(e.g., slides or PDFs), assessments (e.g., assignments or quizzes), and feedback (e.g., gradeposting or online critique). Moreover, LMSs allow instructors to alter the design of their courseportal/website to match their preferences and teaching styles while retaining somestandardization. For example, instructors control page organization, design, and content, whileretaining the general layout and look of the page. They can change background and button colorsusing default themes, but not the themes themselves. They can edit the number of links in themenu and the number of folders within those links, while the menu

wide monitoring coverage area. The Innovation to Flight (I2F) Student Program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory is introducedas a practical example of the service-learning paradigm, with many beneficial goals including:Enhance and develop future mission capabilities; rapid innovation, rapid and affordable access tospace for innovators; train, inspire, and motivate the next generation of aerospace engineersthrough immersion into flight by rapid design, development, and launch of new innovations.Example projects that have been considered so far with the students are weather balloons,humanmachine interfaces, solar reflectors, and origami-based mechatronic systems within 10weeks of internship. 1. Introduction Engineers are one of the most
