fifth-year. These safety moments demonstrate ourcommitment to safety and the importance to always keeping safety as a priority.Background The idea of a safety moment is not new. The concept stems from OSHA’s Toolbox talks, as well assafety leadership initiatives [1]. Simply put a safety moment focuses attention about a particular risk, task,scenario and how to handle it [2]. In industry, safety moments are short and concise single topics typicallylasting 3-5 minutes held at the beginning of a meeting or event to promote a safety-first mentality [1,2]. Acrossthe engineering community safety moments are adapting to promote wellbeing; representative companiesinclude [3]: Caterpillar, General Motors, Pepsi Cola Co., Clark Construction, and

is common to create lithium by exposing the materialto very high temperatures which requires a vast amount of energy. Furthermore, lithium ionbatteries are not recycled as frequently as they should be. This is demonstrated by the EU’s goalto use 4% recycled lithium by 2030. That means, currently less than 4% of the lithium comes fromrecycled materials [1]. While there are many ways to combat this problem, our group has createda heart rate monitor (normally powered by lithium ion batteries) that is powered by body heat.Body heat is a clean source of energy as it makes use of thermal energy that is otherwise wasted.However, body heat as an energy source generates little energy compared to sources such as solar,or fossil fuels, it is still

mindset refers to an established set of attitudes, behaviors,beliefs, and dispositions. By this definition, the Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) is associated withcharacteristics and attitudes entrepreneurs commonly exhibit. In the literature, the most commoncharacteristics and attributes associated with entrepreneurs include opportunity seeking, need forachievement, adaptability, tolerance of risk and risk management, creativity, perseverance undersetbacks, understanding the needs of people, and lifelong learning (see [1] for a review). Theresearch also suggests that the general characteristics of entrepreneurs are very diverse as theycome from different backgrounds and personalities. Regardless of their differences, allentrepreneurs go through a

conventions and reproducing previously worked examples [1], [2], [3]. Astrictly procedural approach to statics can lead to superficial understanding of fundamentalconcepts such as the force interaction between contacting bodies [4].Engineers communicate and apply concepts such as force interactions using a language ofmultiple representations that include pictorials, diagrams, graphs, symbols, numbers, andnarrative language [5]. Representation translations can be an effective strategy for buildingconceptual understanding because they provide opportunities for students to resolvemisconceptions (or naïve conceptions) and build mental models of the underlying meaning therepresentations communicate [6].

as transfer students, and represent a growing student population in the United States [1].Transfer students are generally considered to be more motivated to study engineering than firstyear students, but they usually face many academic, social, and/or psychological challenges duringthe transfer process [2]. As a result, many transfer students obtain a lower GPA in their first year 1after the transfer process is complete. This phenomenon is often referred to as “transfer shock”.As a result, transfer students generally have lower graduation rates with respect to their peers.A study of existing literature reveals that the most common barriers to

other engineering education institutions: at heart, the project aims to helpstudents better understand, and hence be better prepared for, their post-graduation futures. Lackof student preparation in all dimensions needed to succeed in the engineering environment–a“misalignment” between engineering education and practice has long been noted, and manyengineering graduates still endure a challenging transition to the workforce [1], [2]. To addressthis need, engineering educators have incorporated project-based learning in the curriculum [3],[4], [5], including capstones [6] and design projects [7]. [7] proposes more broadly that“curriculum developers and instructors should employ an integrative approach where studentscan connect their use of

Amazon at this point had alreadypledged to use renewable energy sources for some of its infrastructure, but had not madea large commitment nor agreed to release figures about its carbon footprint unlike a fewother tech companies.Activist employees created a climate proposal (which was rejected by shareholders at the annualshareholder’s meeting in May 2019). In April 2019, the group posted an open letter to AmazonCEO Jeff Bezos and Amazon’s directors asking for the company to take more comprehensivemeasures to address climate change. Posted on the website Medium, the letter has more than8,100 signatures, representing 1% of the company’s workforce (Peltz, J. 2019).In September 2019, 1,800 employees from

However, it can also be resource intensive, necessarily taking time and effortto cultivate community partners and establish strong relationships. These strong relationships areimportant to ensure the project will benefit all stakeholders in a meaningful way. Ensuring this isoccurring can be difficult and there is a rich literature on critical service learning which examinesthese challenges [4]–[6].Both University of British Columbia (UBC) Campuses have undertaken studies on experientiallearning, including CEL [7], [8].

Additionally,clinical studies have shown significant improvement in human health recovery with the assisted VRmotor trainings [6]. Virtual environments can serve as a mediator between the human operator and therobotic arms to improve perception of the equipment. In this study we explore the effectiveness of a VRsimulated Fanuc robotic arm as a remote learning tool. We replicated the existing robotics laboratory inthe VR environment to provide realistic experience to the students in the
