As mentioned, it is now timefor a more scientific assessment to see whether the program itself is built to sustain the habits ofprocess writing, audience analysis, and reflection.The assessment will be based on a series of data points: Assignment Grading Rubrics (2015 -pre-embed program and 2016-2021 embed program), Student Course Evaluations, “EngineeringLearning Community: Mentorship Program Student Survey,” “Semester/Year E&S Co-opStudent Questionnaire,” “Co-op Experiences – Summer/Year as told by students in Fall/YearENGR 1021,” and performance in
prediction model,with very few studies, such as a study by Sucharitha et al. [1], who estimated much less foodinsecurity determinants (income and distance) using more complex prediction techniques such asClustering algorithms. Future studies need to develop this idea of considering a wider range ofdeterminants (related to each case studies) using more advanced prediction algorithms such asmachine learning techniques or using a neural network, to accurately predict where the foodinsecure community is located and how to design solutions to better engage these communities.References:[1] L.

substantialincrease in the number of articles retracted from academic journals across a wide rangeof disciplines [5] - [7]. While the major cross-disciplinary studies of the increasingretraction phenomenon were conducted between eight and ten years ago, there havebeen more recent studies that have investigated retractions in the medical [8-10] anddental [11] fields, and investigations into scientific studies conducted in China [12] thathave found higher rates of retraction than in previous decades. Rubbo et al.’s paper onretractions in the engineering literature also found higher rates of retraction between2008 and 2015 than in prior decades [13]. “Publishing misconduct” is determined to bethe most common reason for retraction in Grieneisen and Zhang’s study
. Students in the upper division wereuncomfortable in a socially ambiguous situation as compared to students in the lower division. Thedata analysis did not suggest a correlation between the scores on the tolerance of ambiguity surveyand the engineering identity survey. The freshmen students’ intellectual models were toward thehigher levels and not the simple dualistic level.The surveys will be administered to additional (STEM and non-STEM) students, especially upperdivision students to have a better understanding of tolerance of ambiguity, development ofcognitive model and engineering identity.AcknowledgementThis work was supported by NSF Grant# 1832041.References1. https://recruitingdaily.com/why-the-u-s-has-a-stem-shortage-and-how-we-fix-it-part

Deliverables must include a quantitative diagram (sometimesdiscussed in class as an “engineering diagram”) of the design and a model with varyingparameters which shows the relationship between the components of the design. These diagramsand models must be used to demonstrate the problematic effect(s) of bias in the older design, aswell as the potential positive impact of the new ones proposed. Students will also have reflectivewriting prompts to complete after creating this deliverable.Preliminary resultsThis intervention design is being piloted in Spring 2020 across multiple class sections with acombined total of 91 students.

Counseling and Educational Psychology New Mexico State University IntroductionIn the early 1980’s Congress requested that the National Science Foundation (NSF) provideeducational and professional development opportunities for people of color, women, and peoplewith disabilities pursuing a career in the sciences and engineering [1]. Although the number ofunderrepresented groups pursing degrees and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) is increasing – the number of people from underrepresented communities,such as Hispanic or Latino, as well as women, remains unequal [2].Engineering is a STEM domain in which underrepresented groups continue to remain

At the end of week 8, there was no methane gasproduction in the collection bag due to perceived contamination issues, but it did have a measurableamount of methane in the control digester vessel. As stated before, greater care will be needed whileoperating and maintaining the digester vessel. This emphasizes the importance of this study and isexactly why remote monitoring and adjustment of process parameters can be so valuable to thisrenewable energy source. References[1] S. Sutaryo, A.J.

IntroductionSince World War II, foreign-born population in science and engineering (S&E) has beenincreasing in the United States. In 2015, foreign-born accounted for almost 30% of college-educated workers employed in S&E occupations in the United States1. This is an outcome ofmajor alterations in the U.S. immigration policies in 1952, 1965 and 1990. Among otherchanges, immigration

thermodynamics course during the COVIDpandemic (Fall 2020 semester). The informal student-faculty events did not have highparticipation but, from student comments, were meaningful to those who participated. Severalstudents mentioned the increased connections being beneficial to their mental health. Also, Ibelieve the increased emphasis on establishing student connections contributed to the relativelyhigh attendance throughout the semester. The higher attendance could then lead to higherengagement and increased learning. Further study would be needed to quantify this conclusion.References[1] C. Son, S. Hegde, A. Smith, X.

the then Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in themid-1980’s. At that time, ABET began to specify a “culminating design experience” for allaccredited engineering curricula.For many schools, the shift of accreditation criteria to assessment and evaluation processes hasimpacted senior design courses. Student outcomes are often assessed in the senior designcourse(s). Integration of student outcome assessment in design course(s) has met with varyingdegrees of success.Senior design has presented an opportunity to increase interaction with external constituents thathave an interest in projects and in hiring graduates. While these interactions often strengthenoverall student experience, in some cases they present unanticipated
