difficult to adequately evaluate these programs. In order to evaluate andassess new experiments and projects, prior to introducing them in our curriculum, we use summerprograms with different students to develop content and test learning objectives. We introduce thenew topics to a cohort of students of diverse cultural background from local and internationalstudents. Our methodology is similar for the curricular development of each program (Figure 1)and consists of four main and distinct stages: (1) planning and administrative preparation, (2)content development and small-scale testing, (3) deployment and daily student assessment, (4)reflections, modifications and adjustments for a final course implementation.

uncomfortable misconceptionthat learners are dependent, and in order to participate in a learning activity, they must assume adependent role [6]. This defensive stance can be exacerbated when the learners are faced withunfamiliar technology such as a distance education learning environment [7], [8]. Since adultsare self-directed, this misconception must be overcome by treating the adults with respect byenvironmental considerations such as comfortable and adult-appropriate learning spaces, as wellas behavioral considerations such as the instructor treating the learners as partners rather thandependent learners [6]. An active role in planning the learning experience and a criticalevaluation of what they need to learn also enables the learners to exercise

During that meeting at the SATT and the presentation of the large enginetest cell, the DTU students were able to understand Purdue students’ expectation for the project.Next, the very important step was to explain to the Purdue students what kind of competenciesDTU students have and the possibilities they have to solve their problems.

involves planning, modeling, simulation, building, andtesting prototypes.Success in an engineering career largely depends on a thorough understanding of engineeringdesign processes. Two of the key outcomes of engineering education are: to prepare engineeringstudents to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems, and to apply engineeringdesign to produce solutions [1]. Traditional assessment methods including exams, quizzes, andhomework assignments are primarily designed to measure the effectiveness of engineeringcurriculum in skill development. However, having the skills alone does not ensure that studentswill be successful through the engineering program, as well as in their future careers. An importantelement of success is to

This profile needs to be defined in a way to avoid or reduce the mechanicalvibration and stress on components and actuators, as well as to reduce overshoot response andexcessive position error during motion. This is accomplished by electronic cams. The inversekinetic analysis, which includes masses, center-of-mass locations, and mass moments of inertia,is used to generate the required actuator torque / force for the motion profile, and results in aspeed / torque-force diagram on which to base actuator selection. The chosen actuator nowbecomes part of the system, and, with the updated system, a control system, with feedback andfeedforward control, is designed, which then results in a new speed

The questions posed on the survey were the following: 1. Prior to receiving an invitation to participate in research, did you have a good relationship with the instructor? 2.

Wehope to complete these works by next year.CONCLUSIONIn this work, we parallelized the sampling step of the SMC algorithm and were able to achieve up to 25%speedup in the runtime when using a machine with 8 cores. Currently, the convenience of converting aserial program to parallel and availability of multicore machines makes it quite sensible that the firstapproach to make any algorithm efficient is to take advantage of parallel computing. In the future, we planto run experiments in multi-cluster machines. We also plan to consider modifying the algorithm so that itcan

lost. It is not reasonable to expect the studentsto develop a new business idea and undertake the venture during just one semester. As such, thefocus should be on what the students learn, rather than what they produce. Shifting focus to theprocess instead of the output also affects what is graded, e.g. instead of grading the business plan,the process should be graded [5].The goal of this paper is to present pedagogical approaches to help with the above objectives.

Multiple sensors are introduced atthis level with full descriptions of the circuits, the voltage, amperage, and power requirements.Time is spent educating the students on deciphering the sensor datasheets. Level 2 modules(modules 4-5) involve less detailed instruction sets with references to Level 1 circuit diagrams,constraints and procedures. In level 2 modules students need to plan an experiment anddetermine the necessary procedure to complete the experiment and attain the learning objectivesof the module.

This emphasis onquality search has led to the adoption of a variety of librarian roles in the execution of asystematic review. A 2018 scoping review ​[19]​ identified eighteen roles filled by librarians insystematic reviews.

The National Academy ofEngineering [1] as well as various engineering professional societies highlight the importance ofleadership skills in engineering [2-6]. This trend is reinforced by the newly approved ABETCriteria for the 2019-20 review cycle that includes “the ability to function effectively on a teamwhose members together provide leadership … establish goals, plans tasks, and meet objectives”[7]. With these ABET changes come questions about how to assess leadership. Because theconversation among educators on developing leadership in engineering students is growing, thisresearch seeks to
