to develop an approach at Northeastern University that would allow students to design acontrol system and evaluate its performance, a component of the students’ Capstone design projectin their Capstone course was originally required to contain a process control system. Studentswere taking both Capstone and Process Control in their final semester of their senior year, so theconcepts lined up well for students to be able to apply their understanding from one course toanother. This plan became complicated by several factors, both structural and conceptual. First,an increase in enrollment, including a number of students with advanced credit, drove a need forProcess Control to be taught in all semesters for students in both their junior and
online was to give students theopportunity to build and test something; to have the experience of trying something, seeing how it goes,and then trying again. To make this happen, we decided to operate the projects in two phases: in phase 1students were to individually ideate, build, and test a low fidelity prototype; beginning phase 2, teamswere asked to collaboratively analyze the phase 1 outcomes and select a design for refined modeling (bothphysical and computer-aided) and additional testing. Typical major deliverables of the project included ateam contract, an individual design, a phase 1 summary memo, a phase 2 design proposal, a testing andvalidation plan, and a final project report and presentation. Instructors had the latitude to adjust
experiences to teach theirstudents through distance learning. One of the participating teachers highlighted the importance ofmodeling: I remember during the online [workshop] that we had this past summer, I remember that they showed us how to do engineering activities through, through distance learning. So they were modeling - so this is something that you can do, this information can be relevant.

Since our 360 Coaches arenot restricted to those faculty who are instructors for the first-year engineering design course, wewill also evaluate the impact of the 360 Coach’s role in the first-year engineering design course(instructor, technical mentor, none) on the efficacy of the mentor-mentee relationship.Our planned assessment focuses on three questions: 1) Is the advising provided by 360 Coaching providing what students want from advising – do students like 360 Coaching? 2) Is the advising provided by 360 Coaching effective in supporting

College students with ADHD can experience academic failure andunderachievement [8], and they also face challenges with motivation, anxiety, time management,and general study skills [9]. Additionally, college students with ADHD often have more difficultthan their peers with executive functioning skills (i.e., time management, information processing,planning, and organization)—neurocognitive processes responsible for problem solving-behaviors and attention control—that have been shown to be required

Seeing a similarfrustration in our students we sought a way to adapt our program to ensure our students could meetthe demands and requirements of future employers. One way BME programs can adapt to industrydemands is by increasing the amount of design experiences for students [7]. This can be done byincluding sophomore and junior-level engineering design

importance of flexibility when planshave to change. First, we had to cancel the AERIM REU program in summer 2020, then had topivot to a fully virtual format in the summer of 2021 due the COVID-19 pandemic [15]. TheAERIM REU program was finally again offered in-person in the summer of 2022, hence allowingfor the inclusion of an outreach activity. The initial plan was to partner with a non-profit sciencecenter in the city of Detroit. Unfortunately, the science center was experiencing staffing changes,as well as ongoing challenges due to COVID-19, so the AERIM REU PIs had to come up with analternative.The School of Engineering and Computer Science (SECS) at Oakland University has a robust andactive K-12 outreach program that runs year-round and

The gamewas developed for the high school, college, and professional levels, and pilot tested in twodifferent settings, first for high schoolers at summer camp and second for community resilienceresearchers at a research meeting. Feedback was collected after the second pilot test about itseducational and applicational potential. Suggestions on game modification were also collected.We plan to further develop the game as an introductory learning module in structural engineeringeducation in collaboration with experts in game

The different components, including charge controller, solarpanels, electrical loads, DC-AC inverter, and batteries were described and how a complete system couldbe designed to meet particular load requirements.The remaining time of the in-country workshop was spent in practical design and implementation of asolar electric system on the ENS campus. Prior to arriving in Burundi, Chris Igiraneza, organized theacquisition of the solar electric system components to be used in the ENS deployment. This includedfour 250W solar panels, four 200Ah lead acid batteries, and a combined charge controller/inverter. Theoriginal plan was to purchase these from an experienced dealer in Kenya.

successful, but there are improvements we plan to make. In the next improved iteration ofthe ERSP course, we will change the grading structure (previously graded on a grade A, B, C, Dscale) to one of Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory. Given that the course is only a 1-credit hour course,the pressure of obtaining an A can overshadow the ERSP experience as we have anecdotallyexperienced with some students in the past two cohorts. In the next two years, we plan to focus oninstitutionalization of the program in the CS and ECE departments. We also strive to utilize ERSPas a recruitment tool for minoritized students in CS and ECE by promoting the program throughstudent professional organizations such as SWE, NSBE, SHPE, WICS. We also plan to pay moreattention

Ultimately these facultytaught online calculus courses both with and without the models from Fall 2020 through Spring2022. We conducted pre and post participation interviews and report on their experiences. Allparticipants reported their intention to continue to use the models beyond conclusion of theproject and planned to try them in face-to-face instruction. The paper will discuss more detailsabout the interview findings and conclude by making some recommendations for others whomay be interested in exploring the use of hands-on models in Calculus instruction.IntroductionThe

first of three primary assessments is a team project, segmented intoa project proposal, final team pitch, and final team report. Prior to beginning work on thisproject, students are given opportunities to work with a variety of peers during class activitiesand then given structured time during class to form a team of two or three total members. Thisproject provides students a framework for exploring problem spaces of which they share mutualcuriosity, developing multiple ideas to address this problem, discuss their ideas with experts,develop and deliver an inspiring pitch, and write a brief implementation plan and complete abusiness model outline.The second assessment is an active learning, peer teaching activity [7].
