The survey questions were created from othersurveys used or found on easily accessible websites and common knowledge on basic financialknowledge, see Appendix B ā Financial Literacy Survey Questions [22, 23, 24]. This surveywas given to all students in the seminar course and completed by all 25 participants prior to thefirst seminar on personal finance basics. In an attempt to gather data from a larger community,the survey was sent, after receiving Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, to 366 studentsmajoring in engineering or computer science primarily in their second, third, or fourth years,none of these students had taken the seminar course.

Appendix A contains information onmaterials used for model fabrication, and Appendix B contains any handouts or lesson planswhich accompany the models. Digital model files are available upon request from the authors.Manufacturers also supplied donations and samples of engineered lumber and connectorhardware used in the course which are summarized in Appendix A.Material Property Demonstrations (Physical)Understanding the anisotropic nature of wood is critical to studentās appreciation for thedirectional differences in timber material properties when utilizing values from

Co-development ofthese survey questions further affirmed the teaching teamās shared values and competencies.Evaluation of faculty perceptions of the impact of the collaborative course design programKirkpatrickās Four-Level Model for evaluating training and learning programs [9] was used toassess the impact of this collaborative course design program. Kirkpatrickās model haspreviously been used to evaluate a wide variety of training programs, including faculty focusedtraining [10]ā[13]. Level 1 of the Kirkpatrick model, Reaction, measures how well received thetraining was by the participants and how applicable the
study but was intended to get the students thinking about these ideas and givethem a better grasp of how the Envision rating system and alternative PDMs interact. Finally, theauthors distributed the post-survey to capture studentsā knowledge improvement through thesame multiple-choice questions. Furthermore, both the pre and post-survey asked the students toshare their agreement level on applying integrated design and alternative PDMs in SI projects.The post-survey also included questions that captured studentsā feedback about the efficacy ofthe training. The detailed questionnaire used for the pre-and post-surveys were included in thisresearch's appendices A and B, respectively.The McNemar test was used in the study to examine the multiple

Some warnings were needed as some groups started to depart from instructions (i.e.,communicating in cases that were not allowed for).Table 1. Strategies for completing the word search by each group.

This post-humanist stance brings attentions to the relationshipsbetween humans and non-human artifacts [10]. This approach decenters humans inforegrounding the agency imbued in materials by their creation and form [11, 12]. Decenteringhumans may seem a strange approach to take, especially in a study that aims to understandhuman learning. This decentering is intentional and in service of developing keener focus oninteractional relationships themselves, not just between humans as is common in such studies,but also between materials (or other nonhumans) and

ABS is amaterial that dissolves well in acetone, while PDMS is inert to the effects of it. The Tesla valvedevice was printed using a 3D printer with ABS as the filament. Approximately 0.25 in PDMSwas cast as a base layer so the ABS device would not sit on the bottom. The PDMS was mixed ata 10:1 ratio for parts A and B of the solution. The 3D-printed part was then suspended into theABS.After the part was suspended in the PDMS, it went into a vacuum chamber. This vacuumchamber, shown in Figure 5(a), created a vacuum for 5 minutes to remove any trapped gassesfrom the PDMS

The assignment sheet isincluded in its entirety in Appendix B. There were additional oral instructions and some CFDdemonstrations given during class to better express the expectations. Several aspects of thisassignment were purposefully left vague so the students had to make choices and be somewhatcreative in how they approached it.

The BME is a design-centered program curriculumdivided in four years, each year with two terms, term A and term B, consisting of 40 core courses,7 of which are design focused and another 7 of which are engineering science-based courses withintegrated design components. Following the shift to online, instructors needed to modify theirdelivery and assessments, as traditional lecture, tutorial and in person exams were no longerfeasible. As the pandemic restrictions eased, course delivery shifted to hybrid approach, wherecourses were required to offer 1-1.5 hrs/week in-person and remaining weekly hours weredelivered online. This allowed a transition to in person teaching, exam assessments, teamwork forprojectā¦etc

The Engineering Technology(ET) department was the first department at QCC to launch the apprenticeship program.Originally, QCC partnered with two major corporations (hereafter referred to as Company A andCompany B) to launch the apprenticeship program for students in its Internet and InformationTechnology (IIT) major.

Computedtomography (CT) is the noninvasive technique used in radiology to capture cross-sectional imagesof the internal organs, the bones, the blood vessels, and tissue in the body for diagnostic analyses.The body is moved through a gantry as the x-ray beams rotate around the body. The images of thecross-section of the body are formed by solving the inverse problem using the attenuation of theintensity or beam strength as it passes through the body. The cross-sectional images are created

Analysis of Structural Frames Subjected to Static LoadsA two-dimensional frame is composed of two columns and a beam as shown in Fig. 1 (a). Theright column is subjected to a lateral uniform distributed load, and two vertical concentrated loadsare applied to the beam at the top. At point B, column AB is rigidly connected to beam BC,allowing moment transfer between the beam and the column members. At point C, column CD ispinned to the beam, so no moment is transferred.

Table 1(a) gives a breakdown of the responses, with none of the respondentsindicating undeclared as their current major. Table 1(b) provides a similar breakdown ofresponses from the follow-up survey. There were no respondents indicating a dual major orundeclared as their current major in the follow-up survey.It is important to the understanding of this survey that since the curriculum has the Introductionto Architecture course as a prerequisite to the first architecture design studio, the benefits of thiscourse should be considered within this research.

Appendix B shows the five stages of the PCB project along with some explanation of howstudentsā work is assessed at every stage. Appendix C shows one anonymous sample of studentsubmission for each of the project stages.Project Outcomes and OrganizationThe PCB project is designed in such a way that if a student drops the āCircuits, Signals andMeasurementsā class, they will still be able to continue taking āDesign Methodologiesā. In otherwords, a studentās grade in one class would not impact their performance in the other. Courseinstructors advised students who were off-cycle or had to drop āCircuits, Signals andMeasurementsā that
group; and (b) whether career self-concept wasinfluenced by learning modality. The pedagogical changes brought on by the COVID-19pandemic served as a natural experiment for the latter.Over the course of six contiguous semesters spanning Fall 2019 to Fall 2021 we measuredabsolute and relative self-concept (engineer versus clinician) from 333 students via explicitdeclaration, and via an implicit attitudes test (IAT). The IAT is a psychological test that relies onrepeated measures of response latency in a subjectās association of two concepts ā in this case,between the concepts of self and other, and the concepts of clinician and engineer. Weinterpreted the resulting measure of implicit bias as a measure of career self-concept.The data suggest
