selected two interviews foranalysis: Participant A has more than six years of work experience in professional activitiesrelated to software and firmware engineering, especially in the context of R&D departments inthe industry. He also has been involved in the hiring of graduates from the engineering programanalyzed in this study. Participant B has more than fifteen years of professional experience incybersecurity, telemetry, and wide-area network deployments, during which period which he hasinteracted with recent graduates from the engineering program that is the object of our study. Weselected these two interviews for this initial analysis because of the contrasting responses thatthey gave.Preliminary findingsThe findings are reported

DC biasing (and activates Q1, M1 and M2). The ultimate idea of this buffercircuit, the emitter follower, is that it has a large input impedance and a small output impedance.The EE/CE students will recognize the advantages of this circuit, that it provides power andcurrent gain, and a heavy resistive load will not drop the output. While students may not have theacademic wherewithal or tools to perform layout-level electrical simulations of this circuit, theyare expected to conduct a schematic-level simulation and to break up the circuit into simplerconstituent parts to determine electrical characteristics that are pertinent to the reliability studies,as shown in Figure 4.

Learning OutcomesThis course is expected to provide students with exposure to the spectrum of ABET defined outcomes: a. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors, b. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences, c. an ability to recognize professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which consider the impact of engineering

, she felt the project was properly planned, and resulted in a textbook that can be extremelyuseful for students. She believes that incorporating student examples gives the students a chanceto develop and solve their own problems, which helps in the learning process. The opportunity tohave their work included in a textbook also incentivizes the students to want to participate and dotheir best work for the submissions. She recognizes that there is a range in the complexity andquality of submitted problems, but they are all useful to convey content. She encourages professorsto incorporate OERs and self-generated problems as it is financially economical for students andbeneficial for their learning.Student Researcher BStudent researcher B
requires that students go through several projects and gain design skills. For our students, the capstone project is the first large project where they learn these skills. The basics are taught in a separate course or through a seminar. 5) No Plan B on hand when things go wrong. During their final presentation, a team will often advise new teams to have a "Plan B” and even a "Plan C" to deal with technical problems that may arise. This recommendation illustrates that teams often face serious obstacles and need to go back and redesign their system, or use a different hardware component. 6) Problems with presentation skills. This is typical for engineering students. However, it was observed that by having
input event system, we developed an input module that manages magicinteractions. The input module implements a facade design pattern, providing a simple interfaceto the complex subsystems. Using this input module, we developed a discrete ray cast tool thatallows students to select distant objects. When a user activates the pointer, the input module createsa line renderer from the user's hand. For every update, we check to see if the pointer has intersectedwith a valid interactable by using a physics ray cast. The pointer color changes to green if the raycast collides with a valid interactable (Figure 3a). We highlight the collided interactable if the userselects it (Figure 3b).(a)(b) Figure 2.

Appendix A and B. But briefly, the first projectlasted 4 weeks and was Halloween themed. Students were encouraged to develop an interactivedevice to ‘scare’ trick-or-treaters. This was the first change to integrate multiple disciplinaryskills, including the Pico boards. Weeks 6-9 - A Truly Scary Halloween Project - See Appendix A for details Weeks 10-15 - Tunnel of Love - See Appendix B for detailsThe last project lasted for 6 weeks and comprised of a two-part design for each team of fourstudents. Students were task with making a device to launch balls at a moving target, and theteam also made their own moving targets. They then competed against all the other teams in theclass. All the devices were required to be remotely controlled
that can be earned through taking a particular set of technical electives. This provides interested students with a tangible demonstration of accomplishment. 3) Do not require that a certain number of credits be earned through technical electives, unless the program needs to do so to meet ABET curricular requirements. This does not mean that a program shouldn’t offer technical electives; it does mean that programs should not compel students to take courses that (a) are unnecessary for their basic education, and (b) may limit their ability to structure their program of study to best suit their overall interests and career goals. If this recommendation is followed, it is important that it be coupled
campus, transitto the college environment, advise academic work, develop career and leadership skills, etc.Staff and faculty in the college have witnessed the rising skepticism of the public about the valueof college education during the past years [1]. We recognized that interested individuals mayhave many more resources where they can receive knowledge that traditionally has beenobtained from colleges. To improve college experience of our students, CET takes acollaborative approach among faculty and staff. For example, in spring 2021, a faculty advisoryboard for the SSC were appointed to conduct literature review and identify best practices in fourservice areas: (a) Marketing and Recruiting, (b) First year-programs [2, 3], (c

While some may see the explicit inclusion of DEI as a radical revision of ABETcriteria, a historical perspective shows that the proposed new requirements are an incrementalreform stemming from a steady evolution of ABET’s integrating professional

To determine whetherthe difference is significant, an ANOVA test was completed comparing the means between the twodepartments. The F-value and p-value obtained from running an ANOVA test on AE vs MATSE give usinsight into the statistical significance of the difference in means between the two groups. Results from theANOVA test are represented in Table 1. It can be seen in these results that

Under the assumption of rigidity of the peptide planes,the underlying kinematics of a protein molecule backbone chain is exactly the same as hyper-redundant robotic mechanisms such as snake robots.To compute the sequence of dihedral angles from an unfolded to a folded conformation and viceversa, the kinetostatic compliance method (KCM) for modeling the protein folding/unfoldingprocess can used. The KCM framework pioneered by Kazerounian and collaborators is based onthe well-established fact that
