To further enhanceopportunities for an inclusive environment, resources, like the Rhode Island School of Design’sMuseum Social Equity & Inclusion Work Plan [13], should be provided to students. Anotherresource provided in class is the Design Handbook [14], which includes sections on finding andselecting appropriate scholarly resources, and ideation. The Design Handbook, which is usedduring students’ first-year courses, allows students to connect the engineering design process innew ways with required geotechnical engineering course content. Thus skill-building from first-year courses scaffolds into the EME.After the EME

Finding none, we designed our workshop basedon research conducted on ways to engage two or more groups. Our initial planning discussionssurfaced our main tenet in the workshop design. We wanted to center and focus on the teacherperspectives and experiences. For researchers, we wanted them to better understand the needs ofthe teachers while they were designing their future research projects.2.1 GoalsWe started our development of workshop activities by creating goals for the participants first andthen designing activities that would achieve those goals.

The key distinction between both universityofferings is the educational credential and the associated credit requirements. While MSUDenver plans to offer a graduate certificate requiring 15 semester credit hours (SCH), UP willoffer a Postgraduate Specialist Training credential requiring 60 European Credit Transfer andAccumulation System (ECTS) credits, which is equivalent to 30 SCHs. Additionally, lectureswill be conducted in either in an online synchronous or hybrid format and will be delivered in theafternoon hours in Pécs and the morning hours in Denver.Table 1.

In addition, best practices for implementing job shadowing programs areadapted and presented to provide universities and educators with a guide for beginning a jobshadowing program. Finally, for students interested in an academic job shadowing program, thispaper also presents a roadmap that can act as a guide for students to follow and create their ownshadowing plan if they do not have access to one.IntroductionThe student experience is many things. It is a period in which students make serious decisions abouttheir future. This process is inherently intimidating, and can be even more so if students feel asthough they lack the necessary information
instructors and peers. The preliminarypresentation is an oral, slideshow-style presentation to a subset of the design teams five weeksinto the semester. The purpose of this session is to obtain feedback related to the problem,background, design ideas and evaluation, and semester plan. The final poster presentation is opento the public and showcases all BME Design teams’ resulting products. During both, studentsmust provide written peer feedback. Furthermore, many students choose to provide supplementalverbal feedback, especially while making rounds at the final poster presentation. Teams foundfellow students’ suggestions to be uniquely valuable, but in the case of the final posterpresentation, this feedback came too late to be useful. Additionally

How did the activities in the course support Sarah’s (re)negotiation of her relationships with engineering? 2. How can educators support engineering students’ (re)negotiation of their disciplinary relationships?Our plan is to first interpret the mechanisms of Sarah’s shifting relationships with engineering andunderstand the role that making plays in the mechanism. Our second step is to zoom into detailedmoments in the course where she made (re)negotiations to understand what components ofmaking contributed to those (re)negotiations. Our third
according to some faculty. One instructor said it was alot of work to administer the HyFlex course, especially when they had multiple courses runningin separate modalities. The instructor noted that it was like teaching two separate classes eventhough the content was the same. The instructional mode made the courses almost independentof each other as technology issues had to be addressed especially when group work and classdiscussions were considered. In contrast, for another instructor it was minimal work to run aHyFlex course after the initial planning, training, and technology was implemented. Theseinstructors tended to have extensive experience teaching with online components, microphones,laptops, and recordings of class, prior to teaching a

Campers consistently showedinterest in the content each day. At the end of the camp, most campers expressed interest incontinuing their studies in cybersecurity. Some said they planned to start a club on campus in thefall; some said they had a high interest in pursuing a career in digital forensics or cybersecurity,and others asked about returning for more events. A couple campers asked about returning as amentor for others because they had extensive experience with CyberPatriot competitions andprogramming that they thought would benefit incoming

Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL)COIL is a pedagogical modality that uses digital technology and online communication tools toconnect universities and specific courses in different world locations [22], [23]. Thiscost-effective approach engages students in a virtual international exchange to increasecross-cultural learning [24]. “COILing” a course involves a partnership between two facultymembers in different countries willing to collaborate and engage students throughinstructors-developed planned teaching activities [25]. For this implementation, chemicalengineering (ChE) students will work in a COIL experience to complete a five-weekcross-cultural project with ChE collaborators from
leveraged these features extensively.Quizzes: Setting up the quizzes require careful planning and working with the learningmanagement system to set up question banks and formula questions. Compared to the traditionalgrading with no reattempts, this system requires the instructor to create significantly morequestions. However, once the quizzes are released, there is no need to grade them. Feedback canbe incorporated into the learning management system. Formula questions can be hard to create ifwe have follow-up questions, e.g., asking students to figure out the network prefix using a subnetmask and then asking for the number of hosts in the subnet as a follow-up. For such questions, theauthor set them up as fill-in-multiple-blank questions in a

In this iteration, the survey wasimplemented within a senior-level space systems design course at a large, Midwestern, historically white,research-intensive, public university. The course serves as an introduction to the engineering designprocess for space systems, including technical content such as mission planning, launch vehicleintegration, or propulsion. In addition, ethical content related to the technical material, such as spaceterritorialization, climate change, and nuclear propulsion, were incorporated into the lesson plansthroughout the semester. This particular course was chosen as the sample for our study due to severalmembers of our research team making up the class instructional team.The survey

To fulfil these tasks, engineers need to validatedifferent process and operations before starting the actual production or running a large-scaleoperation system, where M&S can play an important role in understanding complex systems inboth general and specific scenarios [10-12]. Thus, M&S has become a critical tool for industrialand systems engineers aiding in the design, modification, and evaluation of many complex systemsand interdependent decisions.Realizing the above-mentioned importance, the IMSE Department at UTEP creates an ampleopportunity for the students to enhance their compatibility in M&S

The pre-lab session is an in-classdiscussion between students and an instructor to help students at the initial stage to organizetheir body of conceptual work. During this discussion, the instructor will be able to assess theaccuracy and quality of the students pre-existing knowledge and subsequently be able tosuggest relevant formative feedback to the students.
