. Ultimately, the solution to the lack of dedicated engineering space was simple (butnot easy): construct a new building. However, building a new space on campus requiresinstitutional support and a funding source. The College President and College Advancementoffice began raising funds to design and build an addition to the existing science center. Theseefforts culminated in the construction in 2017 of a joint Engineering and Biomedical SciencesHall, which included a dedicated engineering laboratory, an engineering computation lab, amodern teaching classroom, three faculty offices, and two “project labs” intended to provideworkspace for Engineering and Integrated Science design, research, and capstone projects.However, shortly after construction was

One particularpart of a prototyping strategy is determining if digital or physical prototypes (or both) will be used.This research reports on a detailed method for informing designers in physical vs. digitalprototyping options. Designers from across the engineering industry were interviewed giving thefirst insights into the method. The method involves use of a weighted design matrix (WDM) thatcorrelates digital and physical prototyping options with cost, schedule and performance variables.Inclinations toward digital or physical prototyping are then weighted by considering the

Therefore, teachers can assess the effectiveness of their teaching methodologies,a vital aspect of their self-assessment.Introduction The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a paradigm shift across education,particularly within STEM fields such as Physics and Engineering. The emergence of generativeAI, large language models, and machine learning provides new and more powerful mechanismsfor individualized and personalized learning. However, to realize the promise of AI in providingpersonalized learning, we must rethink assessment within introductory STEM courses by movingfrom static to adaptive assessments. Traditional assessment methods, while foundational, are oftenrigid and uniform
