suggests that similar gains as those seen in client-basedservice-learning can be acquired by completing projects that are thematically similar orrepresentative of an actual community issue.6 This study proposes that a theoretical client can beused to take the place of a community client and hypothesizes that students respond similarlybetween situations where a class project is client-specific and situations are not client-based, yettheoretically could help someone. Although this research finds that theoretical clients are asuccessful way to eliminate logistical difficulties in coordinating client-based projects,Northeastern University still plans to expand the number of client-based service-learning projectsoffered.6 The recommended continued

the cost of professional-level high-speed video equipment typicallybeing greater than $10,000, the low cost approach outlined here may be the only option forcapturing moderately high-speed events for illustration purposes for many instructors inengineering classes. Future work is planned using this basic approach for illustrating concepts invarious courses, with improvements implemented based on lessons learned to date.Some lessons learned are: - A loss of resolution and reduced viewable area for higher frame rates must be considered for any specific application. - Particular attention to lighting and background contrast is important for most videos, but these issues are very important when using a camera such as the one
:“Participants set forth their ideas and negotiate a fit between personal ideas and ideas of others,using contrasts to spark and sustain knowledge advancement rather than depending on others tochart that course for them. They deal with problems of goals, motivation, evaluation, and long-range planning that are normally left to teachers or managers.” We found that although such adescription clearly indicates a reduced and different type of role for the instructor, there were stillnumerous opportunities for the instructor to scaffold, share, redirect, and otherwise influencestudent collaborative discourse.KB TalkWith the problem of understanding formulated and initial theories developed, students began aten-week period of knowledge building that took

If students are thinking about becoming a lawyer, we inform themthat again engineering is an excellent undergraduate degree for law school. We also point outthat an engineering degree is required for patent law, which is a very good paying career. Wealso caution the students about doing any major that has a “pre” in front of it, such as pre-law,pre-medicine, or pre-business, since if they change their mind or are unable to get into medicalschool, a “pre” degree does not have a lot of value in the marketplace and emphasizes that thestudent was not able to carry through with their intent.

These mentors help scholars build networks, honespecific industry skills, and gain insights into practical engineering challenges.Another cornerstone of the GEES program is its structured mentorship approach, whichaddresses challenges such as low self-confidence and career uncertainty. Each student workswith a mentor to develop an Individual Development Plan (IDP) based on SMART (Strategic,Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound) goals, as proposed by Wosu (2016) [3].The IDP outlines clear steps for skill development, career exploration, and professionalgrowth, making the mentorship relationship goal-driven and supportive.

One of the primary keys to this method beingsuccessful is the instructor’s ability to read their students as individuals and as a group. The instructorwho can detect shyness, fear, discomfort or anxiousness in a student and address it in a way that allowsthe student to save face will win over the group and enhance participation. In the flipped classroommodel, if the instructor cannot deviate from their planned agenda for the meeting, it means that they arenot reading and adapting to their students

We also aim torefine our analytical approach, exploring how to study caste-blindness not only through directstatements but also through silences, omissions, and implicit assumptions that shape how caste isdiscussed or avoided. 7. ConclusionIn this study, we used critical discourse analysis to explore how caste blindness operates in U.S.engineering and computing education. Our findings show that denying or ignoring caste andpromoting a supposedly neutral meritocracy might inadvertently uphold existing systems ofprivilege. By extending Bonilla-Silva’s color-blindness framework to include caste, we

As of the submission of this papper, out of the13 students, 8 have submitted their papers to journals, and one paper is accepted for publication.The instructor plans to continue tracking their status. The others have not yet submitted due tovarious reasons, such as a lack of confidence in the quality of their writing, ongoing revisionswith additional details, or waiting for final approval from their advisors.In conclusion, research writing is a vital skill that many graduate students lack; yet, it is essentialfor their academic and professional success [17].
