A three-credit hour course in this discipline has been established atBaldwin Wallace University that concentrates on the physics and engineering aspects of varioustechnologies including solar cells and panels, batteries, fuel cells, windmill and hydro turbine-generators, thermoelectric and geothermal systems. Solar power generation is allotted the mostcoverage given its continuing use and addition to electrical-power generation. The topic ofbatteries is also given
current cybersecurity curriculum focuses on the topic of managing network anddata security, while the previous curriculum focuses on the topic of managing informationsecurity with vendors and partners.IntroductionCurrently, curriculum development efforts at many higher educational institutions are done witha small committee of faculty members or, more commonly, completed by the course instructor.Because of the small number of faculty participants, the curriculum development effort can yieldan out-of-date and insufficient curriculum for students entering the industry workforce [1], [3],[4]. This not only impacts the students’ ability to be competitive in the workforce, but alsonegatively impacts an already understaffed industry where there is a

The 0/1 integer programming solution had elegantconstraint formulations and provided flexibility for the inclusion of complex constraints.However, the complexity of the problem rapidly grows with an increase in the number of variablesof the problem. This prompted the investigation into alternative solution approaches that caneffectively handle practical problems with a greater number of faculty members, courses, andconcurrent programs to be scheduled.

Community building can be added to the syllabus aspart of a learning assignment. For example, grouping students for topic search, sharing resources,or any other low-level activities can help build relationships. Forming small groups is always agood idea so that students have the opportunity to contribute equally.ConclusionThis exploratory study contributed to the field of STEM education and, specifically, tounderstanding how STEM graduate students learn in shared collaborative learning environments.The findings revealed that inquiry-based online courses with integration of applied research peerreview activities need

graduate education has shown that 40% of students have anxietyand depression, compared to 20% in the general population [1]. Furthermore, engineeringgraduate education has been found to be exclusive and inequitable for traditionally underservedstudents, with 16% of students citing discrimination from their primary advisor [2], despite theimportance of this relationship for underserved students [3], [4] and especially for those withintersectional identities [5]. Without addressing the structural and inequitable failings of thegraduate education system, the prevalence of role models and diversity within the studentpopulation are in jeopardy.
