The preliminary learning outcomes and framework presented in this studycan guide students through multiple stages where incorporating contextual factors is relevant andprovide prompts for reflection and methods to do so iteratively throughout their designprocesses. The findings from this work have implications for engineering design pedagogy and,ultimately, the potential to improve engineering graduates’ abilities to develop contextuallysuitable solutions.References[1] C.

Instructional technology has developed at the same time as pedagogical approaches haveexpanded to serve more diverse learners [13]. Engineers cross-trained in VMC in addition totheir discipline-specific skills will highly contribute to their professional growth.Professionalization also entails a successful life-stage transition from student to employee, whichcorresponds with a change of responsibilities and expectations. Transitioning, defined as “anyevent or non-event that results in changed relationships, routines, assumptions, and roles,” [14]includes four-S dimensions

followed by a series of plans which saw rapid ad-vancements in industry, agriculture and education. Engineering enroll-ments increased to over 75,000 each year. Engineering schools were ex-panded at home, and in addition, students were sent to study in Russianuniversities. At the same time, the government developed its philosophyof education. Mao s support during the liberation depended on the peasants and 1workers and while Mao recognized the need for an educated populace, hewanted to place restrictions on the development of an intellectual class.The result was that the state or rulers took the right and responsibilityto improve society by using education to improve the moral conduct of thepeople. While this may mean many different

In Deshpande etal.’s [23] review of simulation games in engineering education, they found many advantages ofteaching engineering concepts through simulated environments over traditional classroominstruction, including but not limited to connecting theory to practice, customizability ofdifficulty to match students comprehension level, reduction of resistance to accepting innovativeideas and concepts, and greater retention of concepts over time. Another advantage ofsimulation-based learning is its compatibility with online learning, which continues to be agrowing trend, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic [11], [18], [31], [32].Using virtual systems to augment education is not only limited to

curriculum was designed through several iterative meetings with industry.The industry advisors identified the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs) that would help themost with the transition from student to professional. These KSAs led directly to the design ofthe Hatchery Unit (HU) courses. Forty professionals from twelve companies have participated inthe design and delivery of HU courses. The academic-industry collaboration has been critical ingetting acceptance from faculty and students.To date, we have offered 57 CS-HU sections with 1591 students (non-unique) enrolled in thesecourses.

List S is graphic if and only if the finitelist S = (d2 − 1, d3 − 1, · · · , dd1 +1 − 1, dd1 +2 , · · · dn ) has nonnegative integers and isgraphic. The algorithm then follows a recursive method where the theorem is used withS = S until S = {0}. Generating Random Graphs Once we determined the classroom networks in question were graphical, we wantedto generate a random graph from the degree sequence that was likely to representthe network structure of the data. The inspiration came from a popular methodin statistics called bootstrapping. Using Havel-Hakimi Algorithm, a program waswritten in python and
