Additionally, we thought that if the product couldbe adaptable and universal, again, it would be worth a slightly more difficult construction process. Efficiency Ease of Constr.

As a large four-year public institution,our institution serves a diverse student body where more than 60% of students are considered aseconomically disadvantaged. In our department (comprising 1728 students and 128 faculty), weare currently using data-driven decision-making to gain deeper insights into the needs ofstudents, faculty and staff. Such planned and implemented data-driven strategy has transformedthose insights into student success – retention and enrollment. Another area that data-drivenculture has benefitted is in creating an unbiased environment (between faculty-student,administration-faculty, and chairperson-faculty), where collaboration and communication hasbecome easier.The

Students utilizedSolidWorks and Excel to complete the design in alignment with the reports on the failure of theopen lifeboat design along with the inoperable launch mechanism (Pacana et al., 2022). Studentsinitiated the development of the test plan which included the consideration of potential failuremechanisms including an excessive bending moment causing detrimental deformation to thetrack and loss of access to gravity which may prevent the launch.

effective behavioral strategies to achieve them (Kuhl, 1992). An action-oriented person is able to enact planned activities that result in goal attainment, such as studyingin advance for an exam. State-orientation represents a break-down in cognitive regulation thatallows goal progress. This can occur in three ways: Hesitation is procrastination and havingtrouble starting something like writing a paper. Preoccupation is difficulty in getting back towork after a distraction, such as receiving a text from a friend. Volatility is stopping an activitydue to boredom or lost interest. The purpose of this research was to determine if the action-state orientation ofengineering students would relate to their studying behavior. We hypothesized that

Inpart based on these responses, we plan to refine the course next year by going intomore depth.Conclusions and Future WorkBased on student evaluations, assignments, and surveys, it appears students arefinding the course to be valuable.

course was taught in Summer 2021. Out of 17 students,9 were non-engineering majors, 5 were different engineering majors, and 3 were nuclearengineering majors. The students registered were from a wide range of majors including history,philosophy, plant science, as well as several engineering disciplines. The second offering in Fall2021 had a similar composition, with a slightly higher percentage of nuclear engineering majors.This was expected since the recommended semester-by-semester plan for nuclear engineeringmajors includes ENU1000 in the fall semester.Instructor ReflectionsWhile it may initially seem that the wide range of student backgrounds and interests may presenta pedagogical problem, this did not turn out to be the case.

The engineer team realized that success would breed greaterrequirements. They therefore used a test case of maximum forward acceleration for 20 yards,then immediate maximum reverse acceleration for 20 yards, returning to the start point. Thiswas repeated for 15 minutes without pause. Though this is more than is possible while band isperforming, it serves as a realizable worst case for this year's planned marching bandcoreography.

One to two students a week visit normal office hours compared to fiveto twenty each session in public office hours. Several students used these times as a study hall,and we were able to help them form study groups. This year, we expanded public office hours totwo afternoons and one evening a week. We spent six hours per week in the library, helpingstudents most of that time. Office hours were well received and helpful; however, it led to somefaculty burnout late in the semester.

The entrepreneurship process isdivided into five phases: idea generation, opportunity evaluation, planning, company formationand growth. Entrepreneurship is about recognizing opportunities in the market and acting onthem.
