allowed, the projectshifted goals and became heavily focused on background research onto which nutraceuticals were best touse and how the business aspect of PowerGum could grow from humble beginnings. When the followingsemester (Spring 2021) allowed for limited in-person research after a few weeks had passed, a groupmeeting was held and schedules were developed for who could go into the building on what days. Inaddition to this, research goals were altered to reflect people’s lab research and many other necessarymodifications were made. Thanks to the help from Dr. Gary Thompson and Mr. Prince Atsu, PowerGumwas able to find out how to best store samples and how to work necessary equipment in order to expediteany testing process.

deliver projects. Collaboration represents a key component in interdisciplinarycourse delivery for successful interdisciplinary student experiences in team-based learning (TBL)strategies. The goal of TBL strategies is to help students understand the advantages of interdisciplinarycollaboration skills [15]. TBL strategies are suitable for interdisciplinary education to cultivate a culture ofcollaboration among students [16]. In TBL, cooperative learning groups of students working in teams isone of the most common forms of collaboration that interdisciplinary course design adopts. Here, studentsengage with a learning attitude that promotes learning reflection and improves their performance [17].Bailey et al. [15] identified that members of the same

One that reflected the technicalattributes engineering firms sought from new hires and one that students could refer to fortraining during college. The BEC was and is still composed of practitioners and professionallylicensed
course. We used this framing to investigate thefollowing research questions (RQ): (1) Do engineering students use spontaneous gestures toconvey ideas? (2) Is there added value by documenting students’ concordant and discordantgesture-speech for formative knowledge assessment? Moreover, we hypothesize: (1) Studentswill produce gestures—whether concordant or discordant—that convey their ideas, and thesegestures will reflect their current understandings of torsion; (2) Some of the students’ knowledgeis encoded in nonverbal forms (i.e., gestures) and thus incorporating gesture information isexpected to provide a richer and more complete assessments of students’ emerging knowledge,related to torsional concepts, that be used to guide
activity for each of themodules in an entrepreneurship class focused on bringing together business and engineeringinnovations. Although role-play activities are effective in allowing students to take on differingperspectives, assessment for these activities can be troublesome, especially for classes of largersize, due to the individualized nature of the activity. Some activities to grade these activitiesinclude concept maps, reflection assignments, and papers conducted in a pre-and-post format tomeasure what students understood before and after participating in the activity. In this study, wefocus on the use of concept maps to serve as an assessment tool for student learning through theguided RPS activity. Concept maps can be used to
the equipment list submitted was correct and still reflected what was intheir final design. The required equipment was then ordered or sourced locally. This wascentrally handled through the department office. Teams were notified as items arrived andconstruction of the wind tunnels took place. The machine shop was available during lab timeand, with coordination, afternoons, evenings, and weekends for them to work on their projects.Design modifications and upgrades were made as students experienced firsthand some of thelimitations of manufacturability. Phase II included a lab report on the final design, themanufacturing process, and lessons learned throughout. Phase III was the final presentation of the projects. This occurred on the last
institution priorto 2005. Reflecting on trends in academia to integrate overarching themes of conservationprinciples, the Department combined these separate courses into a sequence of MC311, Thermal-Fluid Systems I, and MC312, Thermal-Fluid Systems II, first offered in the academic year 2005-2006. Initial offerings utilized several textbooks, but those were mostly existing thermodynamicsand fluid mechanics texts already in publication which lacked the desired integration. To fill thisneed, a senior member of the mechanical engineering faculty composed a thermal-fluidstextbook which served as the course textbook for MC311 and MC312.The course objectives list the primary topics covered in MC311, Thermal-Fluid Systems I: 1.

Response variable values are quadratically interpolated togenerate intermediate values and the corresponding colors are used to create a color plot.In this application, options are offered to the user to select which deformation result that theywould like to view. While the deflection or deformed shape of the structural model remainsconstant, the optional coloring of the structural model mesh may change to reflect whichdeformation result has been selected. For example, the user may select a displacementcorresponding to a certain directional

Variables included: 1. ACT scores (composite, math, English and science/reading). 2. Responses to SEVT surveys, conducted at the beginning and end of the first semester, in- cluding: interest in engineering, perceived costs of studying engineering, self-efficacy, and contingencies of academic

Belonging and Self-efficacy survey data especiallyduring the pandemic will be carefully analyzed and correlated with students’ performance longitudinally.Practices that generated results will be expanded and disseminated for replication.7.

Due to limited resources,China has long implemented the system of building key universities, namely,concentrating resources on a few elite universities with favorable bases. In practice, thekey universities are mainly research universities directly affiliated to the centralgovernment with a focus on cultivating academic talents. In addition, China's highereducation system bear a “open secret”, that is there exists a status pyramid where AOUsand other local universities have long been at the bottom of the whole higher educationstructure.

However, knowledge of the accreditation process is not always understood orcompared. This paper explains in detail the accreditation process, specifically developing a civilengineering program, using both the accreditation rules and regulations in Canada and comparesthem to the United States regulations. The paper includes a list of proposed courses needed to becompleted by students to obtain a bachelor's degree in civil engineering.

Within the engineering student population, the most common stressors facedby students were change in social activities, change in school/housing conditions, changes in sleepand changes in eating [12].

a graduate course developed from an NSF CCLIgrant in 2006. It is taught in the Spring semester as “Ethics in Science and Engineering Researchand Practice.” The class size varies between 6 to 12 students per year taking the course as agraduate elective in Systems Engineering. In 2022 the class had 16 students, including 2 AfricanAmericans and 1 undergraduate student admitted by special permission. In most years the studentsin the class are White and Asian, reflecting the composition of the graduate student body inEngineering at UVA. The class covers the professional codes of ethics, ethical theories, ethicaldilemmas, and issues in applied ethics supported by case studies from the National Society ofProfessional Engineers and the Online

Due to the considerable differences amongspecializations, the IAB can be a great asset in ensuring that each program continues to staycurrent to industry trends.
