It is also a great opportunity for the first -year students torelate to the peer teachers, particularly since the peer teachers are only one year ahead of them.The class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings for 50 minutes. Additionally, thereis a weekly 3-hour lab (four sections are offered with 20-24 students in each). We try to usevery little straight lecturing in the lecture classes.

However, all the information related to engineering experiences are only disseminatedtraditionally in the form of peer-reviewed scholarly manuscripts, which has limited impact to those whochoose to read such literature. Given the current socio-political climate in the aftermath of two pandemics(i.e., racism-20 and COVID -19), greater awareness of the ways students from traditionally marginalizedgroups in higher education interact and make sense of their environments is of paramountimportance.

The students have likelyalready been discussing their design projects extensively and may be submitting relativelysimilar designs, so peer review may not generate much of a surprise. A competitor designprepared by the instructor or a teaching assistant can incorporate differences from the students’design that are intended to surprise the students.

Faculty are not only expected to teachand conduct research but also to write proposals, consult, network, engage in administrative duties, andthe list continues. The relative importance and time allocated to these different functions vary accordingto the nature and focus of the institution and the interests of the faculty. However, engineering graduatestudents aspiring to careers in academe are not usually trained in the multiple facets of the profession. Asa result, when they become faculty members they often struggle to find ways to balance the parallel andmany times competing demands of these functions.This paper examines the professional development plans of six engineering

The BSTAM software can do this by writing the same constraint twice, first goal forpenalizing below the target and a second goal for penalizing above the target. These twoformulations are essentially similar since penalizing team levels above or below a target valuewill tend to bring the teams close to the average or target value essentially accomplishing thesame objective.Current techniques for solving binary variables and a quadratic objective function create difficultproblems in optimization, as pointed out in the literature (Bhadury et al., 2000)5.
