This lecture, taught by Dr. Olga Pierrakos, has threeparts that evolved as the course evolved: (a) a historical perspective of engineering through thelens of a timeline of engineering innovations from Renaissance time to modern times, (b) arelated historical perspective of the timeline of establishment of engineering professionalsocieties in the United States, (c) a perspective of engineering cultures as related to engineeringeducation across three major traditions (French, British, and German) that influencedengineering education in the United States and examples of engineering cultures in othercontinents. Part (c) was inspired by the works

In its 2021 report card, this committee gave US Infrastructure an overall grade ofC- (Mediocre, requires attention). They used the following criteria: a) capacity, b) condition, c)funding, d) future need, e) operation and maintenance, f) public safety, g) resilience, and h)innovation (ASCE, 2021). These criteria represent a systems view of transportation. We needfuture transportation engineers to develop these viewpoints to ensure a sustainable transportationinfrastructure for all.

acknowledgesetbacks or problems, perhaps indicating that students believe that failures are uncommon inactual practice. By supporting students in learning how to fail or to see failure as a useful tool, itmay also improve their ability to make use of prototyping, experimentation and planning forfailure as part of the design process. Taken together, these results suggest that SEED Lab offers apromising approach for helping students develop skills related to engineering practice.AcknowledgementsThe authors gratefully acknowledge the contributions of Amanda Blickensderfer, John-PaulMeyer, Colin Siles, Tyler Stuhldreier, and Naya Winkelstein in coding the student responses.This work was funded in part by a grant from Epilog Laser.References[1] R.

In islanding mode, thecircuit should be able to isolate sections of the grid when the electrical grid experiences failure. In grid-connected mode, the microgrid has to supply and maintain the power balance to critical loads. Solarpanels act as one of the Distributed energy resource (DER

The four- and six-year rates(~17.7% and ~64.5%), are below the University’s average graduation rates (~ 33.1% and 67.4%,respectively). We designed the bootcamp to improve graduation rates by a) improving students’knowledge and confidence in required math topics, b) familiarizing students with CS and ENGRmajors through problem-based learning activities that integrate skills from multiple disciplines.Calculus and other math courses serve as prerequisites to most of the ENGR and CS courses.Therefore, each time a student fails a math course, his/her graduation is delayed by at least onesemester. In addition, some upper-division courses are offered only once a year, so delays incompleting
