The lab projectconsists of three parts: Lab 1, Dissection of Electronic Packaging; Lab 2, Processing ofElectronic Packaging; and Lab 3, Reliability Testing of Electronic Packaging. To complete thethree labs, six weeks were required; one week for Lab 1, three weeks for Lab 2, and two weeksfor Lab 3. Students were able to gain a good understanding on the electronic packaging. Futureimprovements planned for the course include expansion of the lab subjects, adding moreexperimental equipment, and establishing a closer correlation between the lectures and labsessions.IntroductionThe lab course on Electronic Packaging and Materials

decision to commence the four-year Engineering Technology program atUPJ, an Engineering Technology freshman class of sixty students was enrolled. Civil,electrical and mechanical engineering technology degree options were established. At thestart of the program, the Engineering Technology faculty consisted of four professors.The first class of sixty-five students graduated on April 27, 1975. Planned growth in theprogram brought the peak total full-time day enrollment close to 550 in 1982, with Page 3.58.1 .twenty-one faculty
assessment and evaluation results anddescribes plans to export features of IMPEC into the regular first-year engineering curriculum.Curriculum Structure and Instructional ApproachThe principal features of IMPEC are as follows:• In the fall semester, the students take a four-credit introductory calculus course, a three-credit general chemistry course with an additional one-credit laboratory, and a one-credit engineering course. In the spring semester, they take a second four-credit calculus course, a four-credit physics course (mechanics), and a second one-credit engineering course. The calculus, chemistry, and physics courses parallel those in the regular curriculum. The fall engineering course replaces the standard freshman
teaching goals and objectives. C. General Pedagogical Knowledge refers to knowledge of teachers about generalprinciples and strategies such as classroom management and learning theories (Viiri, 2003: 353).It is a general form of information about different theories about how students learn, classroommanagement, lesson plan development and implementation, and assessment of students'understanding (Shulman, 1986; Koehler & Mishra, 2008, 2009). This knowledge requires teachersto understand cognitive, social, and developmental learning theories and how to apply them tostudents in their classrooms (Koehler & Mishra, 2008, 2009). D.

Following the success of it, a panel was run again bystudents with support from a teaching and learning center.

disciplinesas to what uses of LLMs were ethical and which were not. It should be noted that there is a certain‘formative’ nature to this study in which students were forced to consider the ethical nature of theuse of technology in general and of LLMs specifically. We believe that the survey itself may havehelped form student views of the use of technology in their class assignments.In the future, we plan to involve more students in the study. With a larger sample size, we will bebetter able to compare student perceptions by academic discipline. We also plan to submit aresearch protocol for a separate faculty survey, which will allow us to compare facultyperceptions and concerns with those of students. We will continue to hold discussions amongfaculty

know how to use the equipment.The new lab was to assign students to work as a group to design experiments to measure thespecific heat of five different widely used construction materials: metal, glass, wood, plastics, andconcrete (Fig. 2) with the lab equipment they have used in previous labs with the theory ofconservation of energy. The new lab was separated into three steps in a three-week period.During the first week, students were asked to plan the experiment, which included the purpose ofthe lab, the list of lab equipment, list of lab materials, detailed experiment procedures, the data tobe collected, and the goals to reach, in a group of three or four students.During the second week, the group worked on their designed experiments

The post-coursesurvey asked students whether their expectations were met and their plans to use what theylearned in the future, such as applying leadership skills.We performed quantitative and qualitative analysis on the data collected. For the Likert-stylequestions, we conducted descriptive statistics and t-tests using Microsoft Excel to evaluate trendsand their significance between the pre- and post-course surveys. For open-ended questions, wethemed the data to organize, categorize, and gain a deeper understanding of students’ experienceswith the course in relation to the learning outcomes [12]. Specifically, we grouped responses intothemes on the pre- and post-course survey responses separately using

The authors found some interestingrelationships that can inform future projects, but they also plan to re-investigate this corpus witha more robust analytical tool to search for additional insights.Future research may make use of more robust analytical tools to delve further into this corpusand examine trends over time. That work will inform research to better understand howbelonging, STEM, and libraries are linked. The authors also plan to explore a variety ofdisciplines within the STEM fields to better understand the inclusion needs of students acrosscurriculum.Citations[1] M.

Because the problem-solving approaches uncover beneficial outcomesneed the harmonic coordination of cognitive acts and metacognitive processes, which is notonly helpful but also essential [9]. Cognitive actions drive progress for problem-solving butalso lay the foundation for the metacognitive processes which create a web of metacognitiveactivities that closely complement cognitive actions, participants engage in thoughtfulobservation, planning, evaluation, and monitoring (M/E) [10]. This complex interactionbetween MKT and M/E is essential to addressing

surveys andsummative tests reveal that the implementation of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) strategieswithin the FACS program positively impacts the enthusiasm for and comprehension of cybersecurityamong African American female students. Therefore, we plan to incorporate more CRT strategies such asfamilial engagement. As it stands, parents are only engaged during the recruitment process and the firstday of camp. A few activities during future iterations of the program will include parents. These activitiesmay be completed at camp and/or at home. We also plan to recruit more industry partners to providestudents with real-world problems to solve and an opportunity to form relationships with cybersecurityprofessionals.CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE

The materials used in class consisted of a storybook narrating thebackground of a real-world problem that students had to work together in groups to solve usingcommonly available objects. The lesson centered on the hands-on construction of a solutionusing a 5-step framework of “questioning, planning, implementing, concluding, and reporting”adapted for younger children from the engineering design process (Cunningham & Lachapelle,2016).In total, videos on 12 different lesson topics were available for analysis. For each of the 12topics, there were videos from two different classrooms. Each classroom featured a differentteacher. For this work in progress, we selected three lesson topics

students' perceptions of their experiences with customPCBAs, rather than directly measuring their learning outcomes. We acknowledge this as alimitation. However, we believe that custom PCBAs indirectly enhance student learning. Byeliminating the time-consuming breadboarding process, students can spend more time engagingwith the material and applying what they've learned. This efficient use of class time allows for adeeper exploration of topics and more in-class activities. Additionally, by reducing the need fortroubleshooting common issues associated with breadboarding, students can concentrate more onthe core learning objectives. In future studies, we plan to directly measure the impact of customPCBAs on student learning to provide a more
