-Infused Future Proof Talents” [8]. Thus, effective and sustainabletransformation starts with training and instilling positive values among educators whileensuring an institutional ecosystem to promote quality engineering education for excellence inthe 21st century. Educators are the frontlines and critical resources for higher education institutions (HEI)towards delivering quality education to their nations. Today’s educators are needed to be moreresponsible in better preparing graduates for the 21st century, which requires them to solveproblems using technology and apply higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) to solve complexproblems. Therefore, educator readiness is a significant factor in meeting 21st-centurychallenges. Planning talents

Requirements in hackathons were often only verbal, or toassist with future integrations between sub-teams. Diagramming was rarely used, except in thecase of participant Frankie, who now uses simplified diagramming to create a plan of action forhe and his team if they have an idea for a hackathon project upon arrival. It appeared that theparticipants had a toolset of software processes to leverage at any given time but chose how andto what extent to use those tools depending on the project and the expectations of the project thatthey were working on.Discussion and ImplicationsAdaptive ExpertiseAccording to Schwartz et al.

acrossthe country and around the world. Unfortunately, these historical and often treasured campusstructures can inadvertently serve to degrade a feeling of “belongedness” in members ofhistorically marginalized and under-represented groups.[1, 2] In fact, this degradedbelongedness in groups is often directly contradicted by the welcoming aspects of theuniversity’s recruiting materials (carefully staged with a quota appropriate number of women,African-Americans, Latinx, etc.) and the objectives of many university strategic plans. Whattools do we have in academia to examine these issues and find appropriate responses? To respond to the above issues (and many others), institutions of higher learning areseeking options to address these issues
].”ProcessThe current equity-centered effort at the University of Michigan’s College of Engineering (CoE)began coalescing during a 5-year DEI strategic plan, which was launched in 2015. During thesummer of 2020, however, the experiences of the “double” pandemic [24] accentuated theurgency of implementing the plan. As a result, the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education(ADUE) formed a committee to plan, socialize, iterate, and execute on a race and ethnicityprogram for CoE undergraduate students. The committee members included students, faculty,staff and administrative leaders from the CoE with a variety of identities (white, black, brown,male, and female) and expertise (engineering, social justice, pedagogy, and instructional design).Some of the

Uponrequests, frequency can increase. In every term, each scholar met a Mentor+ advisor more thanonce, the CAPS PI, and/or their academic advisors. Mentor+ mentors conducted their individualmeetings based on the guideline given through the training session. Scholars also met theprofessional advisor and the PI to review and plan their academic work, extra-curricularactivities, fellowship opportunities, and discuss multi-tasking and time management. Onaverage, each scholar had 4 contact points (for mentor and advisement only). This is significantlyhigher than the average number of

The deliverable for these sessions is incorporated into the two small project deliverables.Example Figure 5: Week two hierarchical learning goalsWeek two’s topic is Prototyping. The overarching learning goal is “Build and test a physicalprototype to advance a design”. The learning goals’ hierarchical structure is illustrated in figure5, with the targeted learning goal for PFL/DP highlighted. That week, the DP/PFL activity incoaching session centers around the following prompt:“You are part of the design department of a company that makes products and
application of these sciences [math, chemistry, physics] to the design,analysis, and control of processes, including the hazards associated with theseprocesses” [4].While it is readily agreed that process safety education is important, there are manybarriers to implementation, such as course overload in the chemical engineeringcurriculum, faculty knowledge on process safety, and student overload for additionalexternal work. In a study published in 2016, only 23% of responding U.S. chemicalengineering departments had a required process safety course [5]. Due to courseoverload in most chemical engineering curriculum plans, it seems ideal to integrateprocess safety within core chemical engineering courses [6]. However, implementationwithin core classes
InstructionThe setting for this learning is the regular classroom where the class usually meets. Classroomsat Penn State include computers with Internet access for instructor use connected to projectorsthat can display the instructor's screen to monitors and large screens easily visible to the entireclass. The technology, students are already bringing what they need into class already. Theirwillingness to use their mobile tech in class can be seen as a strength rather than a weakness; thismakes it easier to integrate a CRS like Nearpod or Top Hat into course instruction. Allowingstudents to use their own devices while linked on the University's excellent Wi-Fi networkallows the instructor to follow mobile learning best practices. [20]The lesson plan
courses in most engineering programs.Similarly, but not as specifically, technical electives allow students to tailor their technicaleducation to specialize in a subdiscipline of their broader major. An advantage of specializing ina subdiscipline is the opportunity for the students to build a depth of knowledge in an area thatstudents taking a more general approach to an engineering discipline may not gain. Additionally,students can take courses that might not be directly related, but that would provide them with aset of skills that they feel will give them an edge in their planned career. This approach mightnot lead to a recognized concentration, but the student could describe their work in electivecourses to potential employers as they seek a

In their article, Sababha et al.

To determine the effectiveness of these extended learningmodules, we analyzed the questions asked for each report as well as the answers given bystudents in Spring 2020. For example, for the combined report on assignments 1 and 2, whichinvolved the implementation of a private and shared parallel accumulator that calculates the

Recent iterations ofthe remediation plan also include reflections on emotions and support networks.In February 2023, the project team will scale the interventions to freshman-level IntroductoryProgramming, which has 400 students and the college’s highest fail/withdrawal rate. The largesample size will enable more robust statistics to correlate exam scores, intervention rubric items,and surveys on assignment effectiveness. Piloting interventions in various environments andclasses will establish best pedagogical practices that minimize instructors’ workload and decisionfatigue. The

Following, two lectures cover the architectural career and work of two modernist architects, namely Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier. We discuss how major societal events have contributed to their work, such as World Wars, and technical advances, such as concrete and steel. The fifth lecture on modernism discusses how it influenced urban planning and the organization of contemporary cities. During the class, we discuss the motivations and issues behind the segregation of land uses and their effect on land prices. In this lecture, the instructor also outlines how the popularization

Theuniversity currently has a ~1.2 MW photovoltaic (PV) solar system that provides ~7% of theenergy consumed on campus. While a good start, this contribution is low considering theuniversity’s location in Southern California; there is an opportunity to greatly increase campusreliance on solar energy, and the university has committed to reaching carbon neutrality by 2035.The course was
