Do you expect the relative percentage error for displacements and the relative percentage 2h error for stresses to be the same value, the same magnitude, or different? Why or why not? The three-dimensional beam element was selected for three reasons. First, toillustrate that three-dimensional beam elements can be used to model one-dimensionalspace problems. Second, to demonstrate the need to be mindful of the third direction (notexplicit), especially when the loading is

It will also focus on thefollowing HCI concepts: ease of navigation within the platform, smooth dialog between systemand learner, ease of collaboration among peers, ease and effectiveness of Help features of thesystem, ability to win over the novice computer user, and organization of icons and links on the„dashboard.‟ 1.1 BackgroundMoodle is one of the most used online learning delivery systems in the world (Hinze-Hoare, HCIand Educational Metrics as Tools for VLE Evaluation, 2008).

A simple revision could help: “Increasing congestion, even as the highway network continued to grow in subsequent decades, led to the realization that adding capacity, while useful for a period of time, was not a long-term solution.”465 Criteria #3 Incorporate induced travel in problem sets.466 Teaching materials should be consistent with engineering’s signature pedagogy. That is, they467 should include problem sets and equations. Relying on qualitative descriptions of induced travel468 or open-ended reflections could make it seems as though induced travel is an “extra
this paper,only Steps 1-3 and 6-8 will be used. However, statics can only be applied to a staticallydeterminate problem. For example, the proposed process can solve statically indeterminateproblems (internally and externally) when Steps 1 to 8 are used.A structured problem-solving approach is used in statics book [6] with the following steps: RoadMap, Modeling, Governing Equations, Computation, and Discussion and Verification.Furthermore, the statics [3] and mechanics of materials [16] textbooks use the SMART problem-solving methodology, i.e., Strategy, Modeling, Analysis, and Reflect and Think. Both are like theapproach used in this paper. A significant difference is that this paper formulates all equationssymbolically, and then the unknowns

This project provided inspiration for thesummer camp design challenge, with the goal of encouraging the students to consider how todesign for diverse populations.A secondary inspiration for the prompt was from the Innevation Center, another makerspace atthe University of Nevada, Reno, which developed an outdoor themed design challenge for a localcompetition they hosted earlier in the year [19]. This prompt focused on accessibility in theoutdoors. After consulting with their makerspace specialist, the fabrication librarian developed aprompt to reflect their design challenge, with a specification in water recreational activities.The prompt [appendix] explains the types of challenges individuals with disabilities may face,specifically
essential for the creation of attitudesrelated to solving social problems as well as for developing the abilities that could help them. This vision has been appropriated for American engineering curricula considering thatengineering can have a humanistic approach through specific courses or methodologies, theassessment of their activities from a perspective of the ethics, and the reflection about therelationship between engineering and technology, including its impacts [8]. In that sense, themain objective is deconstructing engineering from a utilitarian perspective, based on effectivityand loyalty to institutions, to reconstruct it in a libertarian or communitarian perspective based

IntroductionThe pursuit of educational equity for students living with disabilities (SLWD) has been atransformative journey, marked by a series of legal and policy milestones that reflect an evolvingunderstanding of what equity should look like in learning environments. Initially, the concept ofeducational equity in the United States emerged from the need to provide accessible education toa diverse population amid industrialization and increased immigration [1], [2]. However, thisearly notion of equity often overlooked the needs of marginalized groups, including the poor,SLWD, indigenous peoples, and African Americans. The Civil

The Graduate LeadershipFellows program is a year-long experience that encourages “graduate student leaders to engagein change-oriented projects.

There were six quantitative questions using a five point or a three-pointLikert scale as well as two qualitative questions. The two qualitative questions were also used aspedagogical tools based on experiential learning best practices.

The standard deviations of $85,994 within CEEcohort and $87,875 in the MAE cohort were large. ECE is close behind with a standard deviationof $65,735.

region and beyond. Many of our citizens, however, AfricanAmericans in particular, were left behind as de jure segregation prevented African Americansfrom enrolling into ETSU. Only court orders, especially Brown v. Board of Education, finallyopened the door to integration. African American faculty did not exist on the campus prior to themid-to-late 1970s. And the institution struggled to hire and retain faculty into the 1990s. ETSU,by the end of the 20th century, increasingly reflected a world that was rapidly changing. Thoseadvancements began with racial diversity but increasingly included gender diversity, sexualdiversity, differing abilities, religious diversity, and ethnic diversity. ETSU is more diverse todaythan at any other time in its
example, the construction industry has been utilizing old laserscanning technology more recently than before. This does not reflect right away in thecurriculum because of how laser scans are employed in the industry and how they changed frombeing used as building layouts to developing point clouds of existing buildings. This motivatedthis paper to build a dedicated concentration on introducing BIM, developing foundational andadvanced courses on VDC, and implementing the knowledge base in the capstone course.ObjectivesThis paper aims to identify the potential for the faculty to perform externships during summersemesters to develop concentrations that are essential skills for the future construction industryworkforce.

Final program project: The enrollment students were from different departments, we put them into 5 interdisciplinary groups, each group had 4 students. They collaborated on a term project to be submitted at the end of the program, promoting an innovative environment within these small groups. Their progress in the project was evaluated every 2 weeks, fostering collaboration between students with diverse backgrounds, such as medical and engineering students.- Figure 5: UI Program evaluation strategy.The core elements of the Ultimate Innovation Program are

% of the variance in performance. The greatest weight inexplaining performance is given by academic self-efficacy, thus the perceived confidence inthe ability to learn, demonstrate, and apply course content should be strengthened. The results lead to reflect that the academic environment should promote activities thatcan strengthen students' self-efficacy so that they can confidently enjoy the course and, thus,succeed in school and professionally. Important limitations of the study are highlighted, the main one being the sample, whichcame from a single institution and was not very diverse in terms of where the students camefrom age and engineering course.

However,participation in the STEM workforce still does not reflect population demographics.The research literature provides an evidence-base that early STEM experiences canimpact K-12 students intention to enroll in STEM degree programs. Over the last twodecades pre-college engineering programs and pathways have been developed toprepare K-12 students for engineering degree programs at the post-secondary level. Asecondary goal of these pathways was to broaden interest in engineering professionsand diversify the engineering pipeline. Pre-college programs that provide a positiveSTEM experience may increase the pipeline and diversity of students interested inpursuing STEM at the postsecondary level.
