CRPempowers the teachers' role as a designer in implementing policies and sociocultural research fordeveloping three main competencies in classrooms. The first competence that CRP teachers haveis student learning. Ladson-Billings redefined this term in 2021. She writes that it means howmuch the student grows in one scholarly period that begins in the fall and finishes in the spring-measuring this individual growth. CRP highlights this growth and avoids demerits of thestandards test; CRP considers that standardized tests do not measure other meaningful learningthat students could have acquired during the academic year.

incorporating inclusive design ideas into theengineering curriculum, educators may prepare students to create technically sound, sociallyresponsible, and globally beneficial solutions. In line with engineering's practicality and solution-oriented approach, this integration directly addresses DEIBJ values. This work-in-progress paperdescribes a multi-week activity on DEIBJ and ID in a 100-level multidisciplinary engineeringdesign course. Our course introduces basic engineering principles and methods through lecturesand labs. Coursework includes computer-aided design, MATLAB programming, andtransdisciplinary project creation through hands-on projects. The course uses technical writing,oral presentations, and team-based problem-solving. These strategies

From Eqn. 8, we also obtain the same value for the finalvelocity of the block and the bullet (VB) equal to 4.43 m/s as in solution 1 and 2. Now, byapplying conservation of linear momentum as in Eqn. 4, we obtain the initial speed of the bullet(vb) as 143 m/s.Critical evaluation of solutionsIn this new problem solving approach, instead of presenting the correct

However, in past years some GS students continued to struggleacademically after participating in the summer program, and especially in math courses. Toaddress this, NYU-Poly developed a mandatory online summer math component in 2010 tointroduce GS students to math at the college-level. The e-Math Forum was designed to increasestudent mastery of mathematics by providing an opportunity to review and deepen themathematics they learned in high school. 467A secondary goal of the GS online summer program was to provide an

The several components ofthe course were integrated to include:  Use of technical resources  Technical report writing and oral delivery  Research into the functions of technical societies  Comprehensive discussions of fundamental manufacturing processes followed by design projects that would employ a given process towards the redesign

Lord Byron achieved an immense reputation for his poetry and playboyantics in his own lifetime and is still regarded as one of the most important British Romanticpoets. Shortly after Ada’s birth, Lord Byron separated from his wife [4]. He died tragically ofdisease while fighting in the Greek War of Independence in 1824, when Ada was eight years old[4]. In 1833, the novelist Edward Bulwer Lytton wrote of Byron’s death: “When Byron passedaway, we turned to the actual and practical career of life: we awoke from the morbid

As the methods anddesired outcomes of engineering instruction change, so does the engineering education researchagenda.
