traditional view of providing superior products or services. Companiescannot attain competitive advantage unless their logistics and transportation professionals,irrespective of their functional orientation and current job responsibilities, fundamentallyunderstand the dynamics of how products move from one place to another. A well designedgraduate program in this area can produce graduates who can handle the job. The issue is that thenumber of graduates in this field is not meeting the current industry demand. Many U.S.Universities have recently developed and are planning to develop graduate degree programs inthis area. This research (funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation) analyzed the need andidentified best practices in logistics and

In addition,there is one evaluation planned for Spring 2016 at the home university and another evaluation tobe conducted in Summer 2016 at a different university. The sample size for these futureevaluations are expected to exceed 200 students each. To assess the software’s effectiveness it isimportant to
: “Students are self-regulated to the degree theyare metacognitively, motivationally, and behaviorally participants in their ownlearning”15. A key to SRL is that the “learner displays personal initiative, perseverance,and adaptive skill” when pursuing her learning14. Further features of SRL includestudents’ “self-oriented feedback loops” and the students’ choices of learning processes,strategies, and responses14. Key components in SRL are planning, goal setting, strategyselection, environmental monitoring, help seeking, and maintaining a sense of self-efficacy12.Whereas metacognition covers all aspects of the person, tasks, and strategies from boththe knowledge of and process using domains, self-regulated learning is more focused onusing

Lastly, we considered the administrative overheadof the course, both in its original format and following the redesign; and we compared our resultsto anticipated expenditures for a small-section PBL format course.MethodsDescription of Prior Version of the Course Our FYE engineering course, Introduction to Engineering (EGGG101), is a 2-credit, 14week course, with two lecture sections of 325 to 350 students. The course is open to all students,with 98% of enrollees being first-semester freshmen engineering students (all majors), excludingthe recently launched Biomedical Engineering major.

Students are expected to read the book in early fall and participatein discussion groups and other activities during the fall and/or winter semesters. Our first yeardesign and communications course at The Schulich School of Engineering at the University ofCalgary participated in 2013 for the first time because the book – No Impact Man by ColinBeavan - addressed questions about sustainable living and added value to a planned designproject. Students were asked to read one chapter of the book, to critically discuss this chapter intheir ‘chapter’ groups, and assign a spokesperson to

quality efforts have been focused onenhancing the quality of our graduate engineering programs, this knowledge is also being appliedto gap courses. As part of the WPI’s new strategic plan, one of the elevate impact initiatives isfocused on pioneering competency-based online education with a focus on engineering educationat the graduate level. This focus and investment has allowed us to reexamine the gap coursesand identify areas for enhancement. Efforts are currently underway to transition those coursesfrom traditional lecture-based courses to competency-based courses. While we expect the moveto competency-based graduate courses to be a large undertaking, we expect the gap course effortto be minimal since the courses had already been modularized
; Middle School Student Interactions. Students in attendance during the fourth Saturday were asked if they enjoyed interacting and working with the undergraduate student volunteers. In the future, we hope to encourage more robust mentor/mentee relationships by allowingfor more interactions outside of the program. These strategies could include a PenPal program, ora visit day on campus so students can see what a typical day at a university looks like for theirmentors.Future Plans Research shows that providing long-term engagement is crucial in moving youth fromsimply having an interest in science to actually having the skills, knowledge, and self-efficacy topursue careers in science13

The only drawback to this iscoordinating individual student testing times, since setup and running the tests can sometimestake two hours (more if the students run into problems).In the future, the plan is to add SEL-321 relays (already in the lab) along with a SEL-311 (in theprocess of being donated by a local utility), to match the protection schemes of local utilities.While this lab is similar to laboratories at some universities3, it does not have the advancedcommunication capabilities or other advanced features of some of the premier laboratories4, 5

ConclusionIn this study, we implemented a series of lesson plans designed to provide students with hands-on programming and circuitry, while simultaneously teaching students about the growing field ofcybersecurity. This study makes a strong case for the use of Arduino-based lesson plans in thehigh school setting to teach cybersecurity concepts and generate interest in STEM andcybersecurity career paths. The authors found that the project discussed previously could befeasibly executed in the high school classroom, and yielded non-significant increases in STEMinterest as assessed by pre and post-survey in a group of 12th grade students already largelycommitted to pursuing careers in STEM-related fields.

The activities started with product design and ended with a fit, form and functionexercise as a final quality check. The four workshop modules were designed to mimic thefirst/front-end of a “product life cycle” which include initial product design stages includingmaterial selection, making a prototype, redesign, and production process development andfinally, production. Quality, functionality, size tests and checks are done during and between allthe phases of the process. A full life cycle would also include labeling, packaging, distributingand ultimate

The course uses a combination of lectures, reading discussions, case studies,and demonstrations. Class content includes an extensive review of various renewable energyresources, as well as an analysis of the economic, social, and environmental effects of renewableenergy systems. It also analyzes the effects of politics and government regulation of renewableenergy.IntroductionFor more than a century, human beings have relied on fossil fuel as a primary energy source.However, these conventional

Although students identified a range of learningopportunities, the most common milestones originated from students’ courses, extracurricularactivities, mentorship opportunities, and team projects. From these milestones, we found avariety of professional skills and competencies identified as significant by the students:communication skills, navigating group dynamics, and planning/organization abilities are mostprominent. Finally, we noticed differences in the proportions of milestones and skills whenanalyzing other factors such as: sex, grade point average, citizenship status, minority identity
