academia, most college teaching programs in engineering are not well established or non-existent.For a graduate student to acquire the skills and knowledge to be able to begin an effective teaching career,he must rely on his own initiative because of the general lack of guidance in the school system. To aidacademia-minded students, an initial guide for the motivated student to begin informal self-training in theart of college teaching is presented. Types of resources for teaching instruction as well as primary focalcontent for a basic self-taught program is explored. The outline of this process consists of course workand practicing of basic skills followed by a team teaching session. These suggestions are discussed in thecontext of a fledgling
think first for the teachers, they want to teach children from K-12 about science research and engineering…So, they are trying to bring teachers over here so they can take the experience to the classroom…to expand the amount of people who are exposed to science in the high schools, elementary schools, and middle schools to get them more interested in research and science. So that when they go to college, its in their minds. As far as the students, it's for, to open the idea of entrepreneurship, innovations and different types of collaborations that we haven't done in diverse engineering research applications. This is a way, a place where we can sort of dip our toes into different things. I'm

The revolutionary progress in the study of the mind sincethe 60’s provides an abundance of scientific information with significant implications foreducation.

Part of the reason for the more limited involvement withcommunity members related to the time constraints imposed by a one-semester capstone, as wellas limitations due to COVID-19. Future plans for broader community engagement could includesolicitation of feedback on design alternatives as well as presentations of final projects, however,groundwork must be done with the community members and stakeholders to ensure thecommunity understands the difference between creative student work and actionable designs oflicensed engineers. The student learning process and outcomes also need to be balanced withcommunity needs and social justice principles in mind [6]. Work to involve more
allpartnerships. As such, this was in mind even before the collaboration was finalized. Whenspeaking with potential collaborators, the expected outcomes were made clear. As previouslynoted, the sophomore level of the engineering students means that many implemented designsare expected to fail. The only way to mitigate this is to find collaborate partners that fullyunderstand and accept that no successful outcome is guaranteed. In this case, working with aneducational institution with the shared goal of educating students permitted this condition.Regular communication kept the collaboration going.A third challenge is another one faced with all projects – cost. In this instance, starting acollaboration with a public school did not allow for funding by the

With the implementation of outcomes-based assessment, student self-assessment of their own learning and of the effectiveness of the learning activities in their coursesis a significant part of the course and program assessment of learning effectiveness.Students in an introductory engineering class were required at semester’s end to assess theeffectiveness of course learning activities (homework, projects, lectures, assigned textbookreadings, etc) in supporting their achievements of the course learning objectives. This wasaccomplished through the use of a matrix that mapped each of the course learning objectives tothe course learning

The mass flowshould ideally remain constant unless there is a variable valve system in place, however it shouldstill indicate any kind of flow irregularities that may be present. As for the combustion chambertemperature should increase rapidly at the start of the burn and slowly reach a peak temperature,which should be at the end of the burn. With these properties in mind, the sensors chosen shouldbe able to validate these trends. As discussed previously, need for the mobility of this data acquisition system should notbe understated.
