Negotiating and Compromise: Appreciating the need to identify potential disagreement or conflict, negotiate to find mutually acceptable solutions.GEL begins by creating self-awareness within the cohort. Through reflection and self-assessment, the candidates go through a series of exercises, including Myers-Briggs, theThomas-Kidman conflict style instrument and others to help them learn their natural style,personality and tendencies. Always revealing, the candidates rate themselves on a scale of 1-10,10

founding of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) and the Engineering Council for Professional Development (ECPD) as an accrediting agency in the mid 1930’s were reflective of the efforts of higher education to respond to this need for quality assurance in the educational preparation of engineers. In 1980, ECPD metamorphosed into the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).  At the technician level, the response was less organized and more diffuse, with the emergence of many post-secondary trade schools in the first half of the twentieth century. Such schools were highly focused upon the requirements of a specific industry, and were almost always private, for-profit entities outside

. Goal Setting: At the beginning of each semester, students set academic and personal goals which they are encouraged to post in a visible place. More than half of the students (56%) reported posting these goals. At the end of the semester, they reflect on the goals and what factors impacted their ability to achieve these goals. b. Internships: The coordinator for student work experience provided a workshop for students on applying for internships and research experiences. Additionally, information on security clearances was provided. Internship strategies were also discussed during monthly meetings. Over 85% of the students obtained

Reflecting on the original goal of this assessment, creating an exciting and inclusiveclassroom experience, there continued to be a need to alter course pedagogy from the dominantlearning style to create a classroom experience that would appeal to a more diverse studentpopulation. By framing the course such that all student learning preferences are fullyrepresented, a more inclusive learning environment is fostered resulting in a broader populationof students being educated and inspired as they progress through this foundational course. 4 © American Society for

Studies show that well-used guides arethose which were created in collaboration with faculty, were introduced through libraryinstruction sessions, or were tied to a specific course [4, 10, 11].

However, the first cohort completing the advising pilot program exhibited a retentionrate of 76%—a substantial improvement that highlights the importance of early intervention andconsistent faculty-student engagement throughout the academic journey. This data was onlycollected for the control group and the first cohort of the new advising model as there have onlybeen four years of data collection. It will be very informative to measure the 4-year, 5,-yuear,and 6-year graduation rates of the cohort and that data will be available in the coming years but itappears to be strongly correlated with retention

However, there should be a strong correlation between work ethic and work accomplished, so the instructor should get a good feel for the student performance in this category, posing notwithstanding. • Overall Contribution: This is an important category for the students, because it can reflect skills like leadership and creativity that are important for team function but difficult to pin down in a list of accomplishments.

Each rod also goes through a ½ inch linear springsituated under the front skin. The springs permit the skin to return to its original position after the skin isreleased.

For example, we can repeatedly measure the time taken by AES for one (key; input)pair, convert the distribution of timings into a small block of colors, and then repeat the same colorpattern for many keys and inputs. A constant-time AES algorithm would have the same block of colorsfor every key and input pair, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 is also a 128 x 128 array of blocks. Here, Xaxis indicates the one key for each row of blocks and Y axis shows the one input for each column ofblocks. The pattern of colors in a block reflects the distribution of timings for that (key; Input) pair. Herefor the all (key, Input) pairs, the color patterns remains same, due to the constant time.

At the same time, general-use, generative design software lacks the databasedimension and material-based knowledge associated with its digital models. Often limited tosimple mesh definitions, traditional digital models exist outside real units and dimensions,without any physical reference to the outside world.
