Students are also expected to engagewith the extensive regulatory, political, and ethical environment surrounding foodproduction and policy. The five problems on which the course is based span keyelements of food chemistry such as reduction, emulsification, crystallization,pasteurization, and fermentation. The course concludes with a final “free- choice”project where students propose a new product not currently available in stores, and also ajust for fun ‘Iron Chef’-style competition. Student work demonstrates that the courseobjectives are being achieved.BackgroundMotivationStudents’ interest in the technical aspects of food is at a peak, inspired by the

Although the clang compiler has a shorter history than GCC, it has areputation for providing compiler output and better diagnostics[10], [11]. In addition, as an entirecompiler infrastructure, there are many tools built with clang as a basis, as we’ll see in section .However, recent versions of both compilers have mostly caught up with each other, either optionworks well.To install these compilers, MacOS and Linux users can use a package manager (such as Homebrewor apt/dnf) to easily install either of the two compilers.Under Windows, which is used by the many students as their personal computer, this picture is morecomplicated. One path students can use is to use

This part of the rubric examines the degree to which students are allowedto exert agency and participate in team-learning environments that reflect real-world contextsand social impacts. The rubric encourages activities that engage every student, ensuring that alleducational experiences are hands-on and relevant to students' lived experiences andsocioeconomic backgrounds.Each of these sections contains specific items, totaling 27, which describe behaviors andpractices ranging from those that perpetuate inequity to those that foster an inclusive atmosphere.For example, under the "Head" section, item 1

Sustainabilitykey performance indicators (KPIs) are crucial metrics for measuring and tracking sustainabilityperformance [12].Sustainability KPIs must consider the three dimensions of the triple bottom line to effectivelymonitor and evaluate the sustainability performance of construction projects. Environmentalsustainability involves (1) resource efficiency and waste management, including reducing theconsumption of natural resources and waste production, along with the reuse and recycle ofmaterials, as well as considering material sustainability; (2) energy efficiency, which involvesreducing energy use and incentivizing the use of renewable energy; (3) water management; (4)reducing GHG emissions as well as air, water, and

While efforts are being taken to address these issues, more adult educationprograms need to be specifically designed for the training needs of leadership in AI.This research investigates the efficacy and outcomes of an AI education workshop, uniquelydesigned for large scale organization leaders, employing hands-on projects, collaborativelearning, and problem-solving scenarios grounded in real-world applications, that considerstechnical, ethical, policy and organizational culture dimensions. The workshop incorporatesexperiential learning methods, case studies, problem-based learning, and group

These other courses included China megastructures7,8, China megacities, and Chinamegawater, each course focusing on a different discipline within the context of the same studyabroad trip. This integration included a culminating design project that required the constructionmanagement and civil engineering students to work together on the initial design of a skyscraper,including the tentative cost, scheduling, and conceptual design renderings. Key course elementsfor this study abroad program included China, mega, ideas and innovation, sustainability,teamwork and leadership, global awareness, character development, and technical excellence.These will be discussed in greater detail later in this paper.Part I: Course

We take opensource to be a transparent, collaborative process for developing public knowledge that is free atthe source, whether for a design or otherwise. The most well known examples are Linux andWikipedia, but there are many enterprises that qualify such as the Open Source Initiative, theElectronic Frontier Foundation, YouTube, Scribd, Creative Commons and Firefox. Here we willtell the story around the case of Linux.1The paper maps the philosophy and concepts of Open Design,2 linked historically to a distinctsocial philosophy frequently dubbed libertarian in the United States but which has equal

This project addresses two critical aspectsof modeling related to engineering design and analysis, namely, verification and validation. Theescape room activity and outcomes are assessed using rubrics and student surveys. Results indicatethat the activity is effective at engaging students in the application of model verification andvalidation which can be carried on to other engineering projects as well as fostering EMLobjectives of curiosity, connections, and creating value.1.

The Department of Materials Science andEngineering is unique in the Faculty in that it has a significant communication-focused course ineach of years two, three and four of the degree program (see Table 1, next page). Each of thecourses is content-based, and each builds on the skills acquired in the one(s) before it, lookingforward to both the capstone project in the fourth year (thesis or industrial research project(IRP)) and professional practice.In MSE390, each of the deliverables goes through several iterations and receives extensivefeedback from both faculty and peers.

The prevailingdifficulties of last several years have made it extremely challenging to succeed in the globaleconomy. It is anticipated, however, that the global construction output will recover to grow 70percent by 2025 – to $15 trillion.10 In view of aforementioned challenges and globalization, andin light of emerging construction technologies, the Construction Management (CM) Program inthe Lyles College of Engineering at Fresno State has recently revamped its curriculum to betterprepare future leaders of the construction industry.

In the new industrial culture, activities drawn from industry that provided opportunitiesfor problem-solving and connections to art, science, and other subjects were ideally suited to theprogressive education philosophy.Sensing these trends and opportunities, Charles Richards, head of the Manual TrainingDepartment of Teachers College Columbia, proposed “Industrial Art” as a new name for theprofession7 in a 1904 issue Manual Training Magazine, for which he served as Editor. Inaddition to the proposed name change, he encouraged the field look to industry as a source ofcontent, rather than the technical exercises and “meaningless projects” that comprised themanual training curriculum.

Thispaper documents a teaching model where the homework, projects, activities, lectures andindependent studies are all integrated on a single platform (portfolio) in an endeavor tomotivate graduate students to practice sustainable learning (long-term learning) andpromote critical thinking skills. The author implemented this model for the first time in agraduate compressible flow aerodynamics class with the “portfolio” as a platform ofintegration. The paper also discusses the application of

active session of MATLAB was projected to the front of the classduring each lecture. This projection of MATLAB was used to actively teach students the coursematerial in real time. After specific content was discussed, a “lecture coursework” topic wasunlocked on the LMS, and in-class time was allocated so students could work through severalMATLAB Grader problems. Students were allowed to submit their MATLAB Grader problemsan infinite number of times and they were due at the start of the next class period. This affordedstudents the ability to engage in the course material immediately after it was presented to themand ask questions as they arose while still providing adequate time to complete should thestudent need it.

complexproblems of an ever-changing world.3 Background3.1 History of EM at OSUOSU joined KEEN in 2017. At the time, we had already been using EML approaches across our FYP and Capstonecourses; however, we did not have a unified or structured approach to guide our work. Joining KEEN gave us aframework on which to base our EML instruction with a focus on the 3Cs (curiosity, connections, and creatingvalue). It also allowed us to gain valuable knowledge from other institutions using the same framework.Our first EML-focused efforts included re-structuring the design-build project in our standard sequence of the FYP tomore formally include EML concepts. We started that work by visiting other KEEN institutions to learn about theirfirst-year engineering
