The goal is to efficiently and effectively allocate instructors to courses that meet all theconstraints and favor allocating courses to instructors who are highly qualified and interested inteaching the subject. The optimality of the solutions is determined by an objective function that isformulated into the problem statement along with the constraints. Based on the literature survey,the constraints considered represent staffing requirements at most universities. Two different approaches are used to solve the problem. First, the problem is modeled andsolved using 0/1 integer programming. In the next step, a

Thedemand for the data science field can be seen in various industries including retail, health care,finance and in all areas of economy and society [3]. Data science careers are the top careers inthe U.S. across many disciplines[3]. It is predicted that this demand will continue to increase inthe near future [2][3]. The rise in demand for data science technology has created a demand forgraduates who have the skill set needed to support the data science field [1][2][3]. To meet thisdemand in the data science industry, many colleges are revising current programs or developingnew programs geared for the data science industry[1][2]. A

After all, everything aroundus is made of materials. Even digital and virtual based professions and applications rely onspecialized high-performing materials to transfer and store data [1]. Energy related industriesand electrical engineers are also reliant on advanced materials for generation (magnets) andstorage (electrodes). The world Bank Report 2020 highlighted 17 mineral resources that areessential to a clean energy transition towards renewables [2]. We know that materialproduction and related activities contribute more than 20% to the global greenhouse gasemissions [3].In this paper, we want to

A student assessment will also be provided.IntroductionIn engineering and engineering technology programs, there are many courses that use embeddedsystems to meet the program requirements. C/C++ programming is often used with embeddedhardware and software as a core component to these courses. Examples include the usage of theProgrammable System-on-Chip (PSoC 5LP) and the BeagleBone Black (BBB) [1-3].Alternatively, there is a growing interest in graduates having Python experience.

It would be beneficial to the mosquito researchers tomonitor and analyze the water properties of the potential mosquito breeding spots [5][6]. Researchers who may want to analyze the water in these breeding hotspots need a way tocollect the sample. This can be very difficult as these areas can be very hard to access [7][8].Current methods of collecting these samples may include a researcher taking a boat out onto thewater to collect samples or being within reaching distance of the source. Therefore, theinstrumentation presented in this paper is to create a way to aid in research for mosquitopopulation control as many

Materials Engineering CourseIntroductionShortages in the engineering and technology fields is an urgent priority for the US governmentand the country as a whole. In many technical industries, there is a shortage of people graduatingwith the skills needed to take on careers in fields like microelectronics. The microelectronicsindustry specifically is raising concerns regarding talent shortages, with 77% of semiconductormanufacturers surveyed were concerned about a talent shortage in the industry. [1]Workforce development programs have become a strategy to help areas of technological need getmore attention from potential engineers and technical workers and retain those who are alreadyin these fields.

There are many vulnerabilities in connected engineeringsystems that would lead to a successful cyberattack, including network-related vulnerabilities(e.g., weaknesses in computer networks’ protocols), software-related vulnerabilities (e.g.weaknesses in computer code/applications), and human-related vulnerabilities (e.g., people nottrained could reveal confidential information via social engineering, such as through phishingemails). 1 In addition, due to the deep integration between physical and cyber domains inemerging engineering systems, the impacts of each cyberattack are not confined to the cyberdomain but can cause devastating damage to physical assets (e.g., damage to equipment, theexplosion of a reactor, blackouts in cities, etc.).

CI is most commonly used for thepretesting of surveys and can be used for educational research, but the method can also beused to understand cognition, such as by having participants think aloud while problemsolving [1]. For the purposes of this paper, we will consider CI as a means of pretesting asurvey for research, using CI for validation purposes while the survey is in drafting stages. CIcan be used as an independent method, such as during think aloud studies of educationalmaterials, however we are most concerned here with CI techniques which impact the design ofwritten surveys for research.

Eppler et al.(2000) point out that the behavior patterns associated with performance and mastery goalorientations can be valuable when coordinated with one another, and too great an emphasis oneither can be problematic [1]. Furthermore, Elliot & Dweck (1988) demonstrated that theperceived value of a task (in the context of achievement goals) factors into an individual’sbehavioral response to the task [2]. The interaction between instructors and students can help toinfluence students’ goal orientation in an undergraduate engineering course, but this becomesdifficult as class sizes increase and

precluded the usual teaming method, and the projectadvisory board adopted an optimization-based approach. Because this approach was developedonly a short time before the beginning of the course, attempts to engineer teams based on criteriapreviously explored in the literature, such as personality type or previous academic performance,were not feasible. Instead, the goal was to provide an efficient mechanism to assign students in afair way according to their preferences. Nevertheless, the teams created with this mechanismfunctioned well as demonstrated by the data presented in this work.This paper describes the details of the optimization approach based on three criteria: (1)balancing skills and expertise across design teams, (2) ensuring that
