One addition is to create a similar cylindrical geometry with a differentlength and/or diameter heating rod.

BSIE students. A total of 56 studentsenrolled. The classroom capacity was 50. So the author opened up an online version for thosethat wished not to risk the pandemic. Fortunately, seven students enrolled in the online version.This allowed every in person student to attend every lecture. In contrast, many other fall 2020classes had schedules where students could only attend lecture once a week. The classroom had technology, so the author would present his work on a piece of paper thatwas then projected to two screens for the in person students to view. At the same time, videoequipment captured this screen for the online students. The faculty’s voice was recorded, but anystudent’s comments were not. The faculty member tried to repeat the

Indeed, “flexibility” emerged as a primary theme amongOpportunity Statements related to civil engineering curricula, with five (5) of the Top 20Opportunity Statements addressing the issue.

The iPad device was primarily used for notetaking, in-class problem solving sessions,and in-class think-pair-share (TPS) exercises. The instructor used the iPad for presentation to thestudents daily. Although the room was equipped with the technology to allow any user towirelessly project their iPad to the screen in the room, that modality and switching of presenterswas not that useful. The students having the devices and having digital documents with circuitschematics and other exercises for in-class use was very helpful and, anecdotally, it increasedstudent engagement

Aninternational network of Fellows could establish a replicable program framework, standards, anddesirable outcomes at universities across the globe. Such a network could lead the way inleveraging globally minded engineering students throughout the world towards a commonpurpose, uniting students who are equipped with the capabilities to lead and inspire the world.An international network would oversee: • Standards for organization, such as an ethos, course curriculum, participant prerequisites, program requirements, assessment, and partner responsibilities. • Coordination of an annual project to promote

The success of this project will be measured in two parts: comparing the volume of trashto recycle and conducting another survey to view student and faculty outlooks. Comparing thevolumes gives quantitative data to demonstrate the progress while knowing people’s outlookscan help explain the current status and how to improve. For example, if the general consensus isstill that it is confusing, then further instruction needs to be given. It could be through moreinformative meetings or signs.

For many of the SO a rubric is best withclear instructions given to students about expectations for the work. When possible, faculty shouldgive project report outlines with specific subheadings that align with expectations. Theseexpectations should, when possible, be aligned with the wording used by ABET for the particularSO. For example, SO2 covers engineering design and it is appropriate to suggest a more reportoutline that might include the following: 1. Specification 2.
