Quality ofbuilding materials had also to be addressed. Since most of the buildings were not engineered, theworkshops were developed to address all building professionals and also the home owners inpreparation of home repairs and new constructions.Workshop PilotThe first step was to get in touch with the target audience.

Under the current degree plans, students do have the option to take anethics course, PHIL 2306 Ethics: Philosophical Perspective on Human Conduct and Values, tofulfill their Humanities Core Requirement. This means that students entering this course mayhave little exposure to ethics or a general background of ethics, without specifically addressingengineering or sustainability. Students invariably receive their background in engineering ethics Page 23.1251.4throughout their coursework, their interaction with their professors, and through any internshipor coop opportunities they

of the STEM disciplines.IntroductionNumerous reports, beginning with Rising Above the Gathering Storm2 (and more recently fromthe President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST)3 & 4, have raised ournation’s awareness of the dire need to transform K-12 education in order to prepare and inspirethe vast numbers of K-12 students needed to meet our nation’s STEM-dependent workforceneeds. In the summer of 2006, to address and rise above one city’s own “gathering storm,”business and community leaders approached the Mobile Area Education Foundation (MAEF)and requested their leadership in addressing K-12 issues related to STEM workforce needs forthe region. Following a year of collaboration and planning, a pilot initiative

In EBSD, thetop atomic layers of a highly polished material diffract the incident electron beam. As intransmission electron microscopy, the resulting electron diffraction pattern at any point isuniquely determined by the crystal structure that the beam is incident upon. Computerizedmethods allow the patterns to be easily indexed to the corresponding

In some cases, we weredirected to a data request form, which we have subsequently completed and are currently awaitinga response. In other cases, we have not received responses from our emails. In the coming months,we plan to continue contacting these institutional research offices to try to obtain the informationthat we are requesting. We are also working to contact the

Additionally, we plan to integrate three supplementary payloads:(1) a 5.7k resolution 360° camera for flight documentation, (2) a SPOT Trace GPS tracker forredundancy in tracking and recovery, and (3) a venting system to regulate internal pressure andtemperature of the balloon. These components were core elements of the University’s contribu-tions to the Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project from 2022 to 2024 [5].Result & Discussion The preliminary findings from this research reflect not only strong technical progress toward asuccessful flight in June 2025, but also highlight the
Curricular Pathway in Environmental EngineeringAbstractCurrently, students majoring in civil engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology(RHIT) do not get exposure to discipline-specific course content in environmental engineeringuntil the final quarter of Year 3. We’ve noticed that many students we’ve advised come into theirfirst year with an interest in environmental engineering, but they tend to choose different pathsbefore they even have a course in environmental engineering. We developed a plan that re-envisions the pathway for the environmental engineering curriculum. We evaluated differentscenarios of curriculum pathways to provide students with exposure to environmentalengineering content earlier in their academic career. Through this

Ability to Understand Instruction: Language comprehension, ability of student to understand what the learning task is and how to learn it. For engineering classes, language comprehension may mean mathematics background.One experimental test of Carroll’s theory is presented in [6].Carroll’s definition of aptitude as the time required to learn, rather than the ability to learn hasfundamental implications for engineering education, particularly for retention in an era ofreduced math skills.

Despiteincreased budget allocation for Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation (RDT&E),addressing other nations’ threats remains a significant challenge. Also, the confidential natureof defense programs limits the level of detail available in reports, making it difficult for industrystakeholders to identify priority areas and align their efforts effectively with defense objectives.Methodology: This research analyzes DoD reports, including the Cyber

His conclusion was that the armature-controlled dc motor performed betterthan the field-controlled dc motor, and he was able to demonstrate strong closed-loop systemperformance. Since there were no plans to establish a full controls lab for the entire classes,simulations using Matlab were required for the course. Initially, the project was restricted to thisone controls application and soon thereafter expanded to five or six possible applicationsdescribed in brief paragraphs.

bandwidth to identify possible interfering signalsAt the onset of the project it was necessary to develop a plan and a timeline for accomplishingthese specifications. It was decided that the project should first be broken down into threefunctional areas called the ground station, the link, and the onboard controller. These three areaswere further broken down into subtasks that could be handled by individual group members. Forexample, the onboard system was broken down into telemetry sensors, GPS, image capture,spectrum display, and the actual controller itself. Once these tasks were determined, the projectmanager assigned tasks to the group members and they in turn decided on an approach toaccomplish the tasks.Telemetry SensorsThe UAV was required

Process evaluationswere conducted with participants at each session (including the art and dance sessions) to capturethe participants’ perceptions of session implementation, participant satisfaction, and participantengagement (behavioral and cognitive engagement) in each session [13]. In addition, studentengagement was captured via a self-evaluation at the end of enrichment activities.

In addition to the academicevaluations, we tracked the community impact over time to measure our progress, including thenumber of new organizational
