Another research area includes the incorporation of Responsible well-being in faculty and students (undergraduate and graduate).

Each principal investigator’s name, department, and primary governing college wasrecorded in an excel sheet for use in tracking and the final resource production. From this facultydirectory, each research biography and laboratory website was analyzed to determine if theirresearch program addressed any topics of disability. In instances where a research biography, orwebsite, was not available, a further

At the time of this writing, the Basys 3’sretail price was USD$149 and offered an educational discount of 25%, resulting in a total priceof $111.75 per unit, making the cost to implement in a laboratory setting or for individualstudents quite reasonable, especially when comparing it to other boards with similar capabilities.The Fall 2021 semester began by using Logisim (legacy version) to introduce logicfundamentals, then transitioned to using Vivado to implement designs on real hardware

This ensures students are prepared to intelligently read and discussmaterial related to nuclear engineering in the future. The instructor found great examples fromThe Language of Nuclear Science written by Francois Kertesz, which was used internally by OakRidge National Laboratory in the 1960s [6]. The course starts with borrowed words, such asfission from the word describing cellular division in biology. The course then
socialization in relation to their research questions. For sixout of the seven articles, socialization is seen as a process which occurs in the background as animplication of the factors being investigated, rather than the main topic of study. For example,Blaney et al. (2020) investigate the relationship between doctoral students and post-doctoralscholars in laboratory settings, while Posselt et al. (2018) look at faculty support of graduatestudent well-being. In both of these examples, socialization is a process which occurs, but notnecessarily the topic of study in its own right. However, Sallee (2011) takes a different approach,looking at socialization as a rich topic to be explored and understood, investigating therelationships between gender

programs, perspectives from students and faculty are critical. These shared impressionsdemonstrate how this program responds to calls for graduate STEM education to evolve inaddressing changes in science and engineering, the nature of the workforce, and career goals. TheNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (2018) call for STEM doctoralprograms that go beyond alignment to components of traditional degrees to expand experiences inthe laboratory or fieldwork, workshops, internships and other opportunities that establishes acritical mission that will “stimulate curiosity; develop the intellectual capacity to recognize,formulate, and communicate complex problems; create an iterative approach toward solutions,drawing from discipline

GPIP is a novel program within the College ofEngineering that guarantees qualified, academically talented students a paid internship orresearch opportunity if they commit to return to the College the following fall semester. CohortsI and II participated in the Guaranteed Paid Internship Program (GPIP) in Summers 2019 and2020, respectively. Scholars completed their program in academic research laboratories inside oroutside of the University of Illinois at Chicago, technology companies, or makerspace.

approximately 850 functional interfaces. In 2003, the Mars Exploration Rover incorporated9 instruments resulting in 1750 functional interfaces. The recent Mars Science Laboratory Mars2020 Perseverance included 8-10 instruments for an estimate of 2,500 functional interfaces[McKelvin, et al., 2015]. In another example, Lockheed’s Martin F-22 Raptor has an estimate of1.7 million lines of code while the F-35a includes almost 8 million lines of code [Capaccio, 2021].Following previous examples, it could be seen that existing engineering methods, tools, andprocesses would be overwhelmed by the increasing complexity and characteristics of emergingdigital systems such as Cyber-Physical Systems, Industry 4.0, Model-Based Engineering, andSociety 5.0.Professional

Each participant worked on a CPS project in the laboratory oftheir research mentor and interacted daily with graduate research assistants over the seven weeks.Because we asked participants to translate their research experiences into a curricular unit bycreating a PBL unit for a community college course, we designed the RET to be a PBLexperience for participants. The driving question was “What kinds of energy production andcontrols would we need to travel to Mars?” The entry event on the first day of the RET PBL wasa luncheon featuring videos of the research groups’ on-going projects and a guest speaker,aligned with the driving

Unlike industry internships where theexperience of student interns can depend on how much time and effort engineers or supervisorsput into assigning them meaningful projects, everything in an REU program is intended toprovide the student participants with a positive and enriching experience. REU experiences suchas the one at OU provide not only a research experience, but also multiple opportunities forstudents to grow professionally and academically through seminars, industry or laboratory tours,professional development opportunities, conference presentations, as well as social activitiesmeant to enhance their sense of belonging and increase their sense of self efficacy.

In all of his research, the goal is two-fold: (1) exploring fundamental cognitive processes related to learning to add to our theoretical understanding, and (2), where appropriate, applying this knowledge to improve education. An assumption underlying his research approach is that current educational issues provide investigators with some of the most compelling research topics and that rigorous empirical work aids us in making the education process more successful.
