research groups [7]. The interactions of thesetwo factors (e.g., advisors and peers) play a crucial role in a student's performance in researchenvironments [7]. Graduate students are often engaged in faculty-led laboratories (or research groups) andcollaborative teams as students develop both their teaching and research skills [7, 16, 17].Depending on the size of the research group, faculty advisors' roles and interactions might vary(e.g., large-size, mid-size, or sub-size) [7]. Crede and Borrego found that there were substantialdifferences in the perceived roles and interactions between faculty and graduate students acrossdifferent sized labs [7]. In particular, large-sized groups appeared to be run more like smallbusinesses (i.e

In addition, Dr. Ayala has had the opportunity to work for a number of engineering consulting companies, which have given him an important perspective and exposure to the industry. He has been directly involved in at least 20 different engineering projects related to a wide range of industries from the petroleum and natural gas industry to brewing and newspaper industries. Dr. Ayala has provided service to professional organizations such as ASME. Since 2008 he has been a member of the Committee of Spanish Translation of ASME Codes and the ASME Subcommittee on Piping and Pipelines in Spanish.

means to study andwork as a civil engineer.The syllabus states “Through a series of hands-on laboratory experiments, students will developworking knowledge in the use and application of modern engineering tools and techniques requiredfor engineering practice.” The syllabus is admittedly too vague and was partially adapted from aprevious version of a first-year engineering course. The authors will revise the course objectivesfor future versions of the course to be more in line with the three goals listed above.Design of CourseTo meet the three course goals described above, we used the following simple approach to designthe course modules: 1) identify a subdiscipline of civil engineering, 2) identify a physical conceptthat is relevant to that

This open access platform is nowhoused at Cornell University. arXiv paved the way for the proliferation of other preprintrepositories across disciplines over the subsequent three decades, such as bioRxiv and medRxiv[14].These repositories are excellent at featuring recently-posted articles but lack optimization forsearching with specific syntax and facet limiting, which engineering librarians are accustomed todoing.In the last five years, traditional subscription

peer-to-peer interaction on average compared to the SpringSemesters. When considering other variables that influenced this phenomenon in the data, it wasfound that more lab classes were offered in the Fall than in the Spring. Since most lab activitiesin the civil engineering department are executed in groups, there is naturally more opportunityfor peer-to-peer interaction to be embedded in the course syllabi. This is consistent with thecommentary of Fiesel and Rosa on the objective of laboratory activities in undergraduateengineering education, specifically, to “work effectively in teams, including [a] structure [for]individual and joint accountability; assign roles, responsibilities, and tasks; monitor progress;meet deadlines; and integrate
laboratory with equipment to handle.” [interviewee 2] Moreover, PBL proves to be an efficient methodology when there is a reduction in thescope of the course or limited time for the development of skills and competencies. In suchscenarios, students take on the responsibility of selecting the necessary information to address theproblem at hand. This approach allows students to establish a foundational understanding anddelve into topics of greater interest or relevance, transitioning from a macro to a microperspective. As articulated by respondent 5: “Accomplish a reduction in scope without losing a connection with reality and the student’s needs.” [interviewee 5] PBL

To introduce hands-on learning activities in the heattransfer and thermodynamics classroom, we have developed a low-cost shell-and-tube desktoplearning module to provide effective heat exchange instruction.

Since a common set of components and tools are used throughout thecurriculum, student progress can be streamlined in later courses by skipping introductorymaterial and the mechanics of the tools already covered in previous classes. The consistent useof components and tools allows for a better use of course time and for an overall increase inthe material presented to students. To illustrate this process, this paper presents the use ofstate-of-the-art low cost components in the laboratory assignments of a sequence of embeddedand digital systems design courses.

Our overall goal in this project was two-fold: (a)design a floating platform to house a VAWT and UCT, and (b) test the performance and stabilityof the floating structure under various wind and current conditions, experimentally. Experimentswere conducted at the Laboratory for Fluid Structure Interactions Studies (FSI Lab) at our homeinstitution, UMass Dartmouth, which was equipped with a recirculating water tunnel. In order tofully mimic concurrent wind and current simultaneously for our floating DTP, our team designedand made modifications to the water tunnel facility to house an
increasingly focus on their core competencies. For complementary knowledge and know-how, they increasingly rely on interaction with a variety of actors (e.g. equipment and component suppliers, users, competitors and non- market research institutions such as universities or government laboratories). Inter-firm collaboration is by far the most important channel of knowledge sharing and exchange. Creating appropriate conditions for such collaboration thus poses a key policy challenge… Networking has in fact become an effective innovation technique in its own right. Empirical studies have confirmed that collaborating firms are more innovative than non-collaborating ones. Relationships are selective, durable and trust-based. Firms tend to

These discussions make it clear that microgrids are a scientificallybacked alternative to the faulty electricity grid Texas is currently operating on.The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has done extensive research on how microgridscan be implemented into society and proposed a three step process to help policymakers makeinformed decisions. The first of the three steps is Market Preparation. This step requires lawmakers toinvest in extensive research and resilience planning to determine how to design microgrids in order tomeet the needs of the population, identify the most critical infrastructure facilities that will benefitfrom the deployment of microgrids, and determine how microgrids will feed into and out of thecentralized grid
