The future stage of thisstudy will conduct social media activities that will further engage and nurture these students’presentation skills.CONCLUSIONTo become competent engineers and construction managers, STEM students must invest indeveloping their professional skills, such as communication and presentation skills. Based onthe benchmark survey, it is found that female, first generation and undergraduate students areless likely to possess proficient communication skills and thus require targeted trainingactivities to embrace underrepresented student’s growth.

new locationwith new problem environments to reflect the changing challenges facing global distribution.Introduction Wholesale Distribution in the United States is more than a 7 trillion dollars industry, withmore than 300,000 businesses that employ six million people [1]. The wholesale trade accountedfor about 6% of the GDP in 2016 and is presently one of the top 4 sectors of the U.S. economy.The growth of a distribution organization does not rely solely on the distributor’s geographicreach, physical assets, product selection, or access to capital. It also depends on its humancapital. In fact, all organizations require human capital to accomplish their goals; therefore, theorganization’s ability to manage its human capital is key to

The last section of this paper discusses the future study.2.0 Related work Machine learning is defined as a system that mimics human learning by acquiringknowledge from the real world and performing based on this knowledge [18]. Unlike humans,machine learning algorithms cannot reason [18]. They cannot include the subtleness of humaninteraction or the complexity that exists in the world [23, p. 20]. Important information willinevitably be missing from these machine learning algorithms [23, p. 20].

This understanding led to aminority of students choosing not to fully complete SCI. These attempts were not included in theoverall results, as they did not reflect the overall understanding of students. Some students foundthe SCI to be more difficult than anything that had been taught during the semester and showedless effort overall on this study. Because of the vocal lack of support in the concept Inventories, apossible fix for these major problems has been implemented in the study for other

Surprisingly, even though the electric grill produces no onsiteemissions, they are the most polluting type of grill because of the greenhouse gasses associatedwith producing and transmitting electricity in the United States.

These modest tuition ratesreflect approximately a 3% increase each year since 2009. Although, a relatively smaller increasein percentage, it has outpaced Indiana’s annual per capita income and the financial impact oftuition increases is clearly reflected in the growing number of enrollments of students whoqualify for financial assistance.
