, and students encounter limited opportunities to engage in social aspects ofengineering in undergraduate programs [1], [2]. Research has shown that the perception ofengineering as a “technical-only” field can alienate students who hold beliefs in communal goals,which rely on social knowledge and skills, even if they achieve excellent academic performancein their engineering coursework [3], [4]. Such research findings point to the need for developinggreater understanding of the types of skills and practices that could potentially draw students toparticular disciplines within engineering.Thus, our research focused on understanding aspects of engineering practice that first yearmechanical engineering students described as important to their

Engineering projects are oftencomplex, expensive, and high-stakes, requiring a solid grasp of skills not typically covered in anengineer’s bachelor’s or associate’s education [1]. Project management provides the frameworkand tools necessary to turn ambitious visions into tangible reality. It empowers organizations toadapt, respond, and thrive amidst challenges and opportunities [2]. Project managementeducation provides engineers with the ability to optimize resource allocation, meet customerexpectations, adapt to market changes, mitigate risks, and foster innovation [2, 3].

In most curricula, computing is then systematicallyignored for the remainder of the program, resulting in graduates who are weak in computational science.In many institutions, ours included, the freshman computer science course fell victim to cuts caused bypressure to reduce the number of total hours in the curriculum. These outcomes stand at odds with thefeedback from industry that students need more computational knowledge upon graduation [1].There is room for debate as to which computational environment is best for students to learn and whatshould be the nature of computational knowledge taught. The answers vary across disciplines anduniversities, yet faculty generally agree that students need more education in how to use

sampling receiver.IntroductionIn modern signal processing systems, the input analog signal is usually digitized first and thenfed into a digital signal processor. The digitizing process can be divided into two steps: samplingand quantizing. The sampling process can be described mathematically as a multiplication with acomb function, which is a periodic pulse train with very narrow pulse width. In the frequencydomain, the multiplication becomes a convolution. The comb function is very interesting inFourier transform, since the result is still a comb function. Therefore, the effect of theconvolution is generating many copies of the transformed input signal with the spacing of thesampling frequency, which is shown in Fig. 1 [1]. If the sampling rate

However, one common issue is that moving from face-to-face interaction toremote interaction (e.g., Zoom) has left many students feeling detached from their STEMcommunities which in turn negatively affected their learning. For example, 46% of engineeringand technology students at IUPUI reported “loneliness and lack of connection” as result of thepandemic and 61% agreed that “online learning is [a] difficult format for learning” [1].
