: Connectedness. A fifth dimension for explaining the space of teaming prompts issomething we have called connectedness to capture the various ways in which a prompt can beconnected up to something larger. For example, prompt 3 (with the focus on attendance) andprompt 4 (with the focus on grading) were constructed based on ideas that came up in previousteaming sessions. The prompts about being back on campus (prompt 1), back in the classroom(prompt 2), and back to normal (prompt 6) were constructed to create continuity with worldevents and the general context. The prompts about something you'd like students to know aboutyou (prompt 8) and a situation where you felt cared for (prompt 9) were connected to broaderdepartmental goals.These dimensions are by

Oxford defines art as “the expression or application of humancreative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producingworks to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power [1].” One might simplifyand suggest that art is a process led by the human mind that

as well, as a focal pointof our design was availability and convenience. Thus, we arrived at a prototype that is 1) cheapand easy to build, 2) relatively small and easy to install, 3) interchangeable with most plumbingsystems in bathrooms and kitchens, resizability would also account for this, 4) environmentallyconscious materials. Our device is a water wheel that can be fitted onto many different types ofpipes, and produces a small amount of energy. We believe that with many of these within a buildingwe would be able to generate a reasonable amount of energy for utilization for any purpose.IntroductionToday, people are using electricity more than ever, and as climate change is increasingly creepingup on us, finding new sustainable sources

Introduction: For most of the modern age, people have been getting most of the energy from coal, gas, andother types of fossil fuels. While people have used other forms of power generation, there hasbeen a substantial movement to find and use other forms of power generation where windturbines being the most well-known example. This work looks for alternate power generationthat has led to look at what

Compared to cybersecurity in general, however,cyber engineering still requires further refinement in its curriculum coverage. The currentcurriculum for the cyber engineering program at our university is centered on cyber physicalsystems (CPS) and their security including device-level security, boot security, and attack-resilienthardware/middleware. As an engineering curriculum, cyber engineering also requires a variety ofhands-on laboratory-based learning as well. To better facilitate hands-on learning in a curricularsetting, we have been developing a 1/5th-scale autonomous vehicle as a framework of cyberphysical systems for a set of cyber engineering

Requiring such students to take technical electives is not an issue, as these arecourses that the students want to take. But many students do not fit into this category. Startingin 2021, the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee hasallowed students to take free electives rather than technical electives offered by the program [6].As the results in Table 1 show, this led to a very large decrease in the number of studentsregistering for the technical electives offered by the department.

skills intoaccreditation criteria. Over two decades ago, ABET Engineering Criteria (i.e., EC2000) for thefirst time included professional skills, intended to address the demands for interpersonal skillsand global awareness among 21st Century engineers (Shuman, Besterfield‐Sacre, & McGourty,2005). In fact, a greater number of EC2000 a-k Student Outcomes pertain to professional skillsthan technical skills. This is even more the case in the current (1-7) Student Outcomes Criteria(ABET, n.d.). ABET’s reasoning behind including professional skills in Student Criteria inEC2000 is equally applicable to ABET’s current proposed inclusion of DEI elements into theGeneral Criteria: [To promote undergraduate engineering students’] ability to

A more balanced educational experience might be particularly relevant given thelarge number of folks with engineering degrees who work outside of engineering occupations;the NAE estimated that as of 2013 there were 65% of all degreed engineers who worked inoccupations not considered engineering [41].
