For computing structural complexity, a useful representation of a curriculum is as a directedacyclic graph (dag), where the vertices of the graph represent the courses in the curriculum, andthe directed correspond to the prerequisites relationships among the courses in the curriculum. Anexample degree plan for an electrical engineering program, created using this dag representationis shown in FIgure 1. The structural complexity measure we will use is based upon the proper-ties of this dag, and it has been shown that it directly relates to a student ability to complete thecurriculum.4

the lecture lesson plan to introduce historical figures and case studies.• One concern is balancing the time devoted to covering subject materials versus that on historical figures and related case studies. In some lectures, historical figures or case studies are only discussed for about 10 minutes. Additionally, we've reduced the number of in-class quizzes to make room in class periods for adoption of new materials.• Several student ideas, such as integrating history into lab experiments, highlighting key figures in chapters, and using videos to spark curiosity, can inform recommendations for future course development.• One student suggested creating an optional open discussion forum on Brightspace for sharing

One challenge is coordinating and synchronizing teachingapproaches and strategies between co-teachers to ensure cohesive and consistent instructionaldelivery [6]. This requires effective communication, planning, and flexibility among co-teachers.Moreover, assessing and providing timely feedback to many students can be overwhelming andmay require additional resources and strategies to accurately gauge individual progress.In Fall 2020, the course underwent a transformation to better serve neurodivergent students andencourage inclusive teaching

weekend. In all of the cases, experience showed that once they socialized on a face-to-face basis they planned study sessions as well as fun sessions. Consequently, in the electrical engineering freshman classes the emphasis is on teamwork to get students of the same interests and classes to socialize and organize their activities together—and the more get-togethers they have, the more the team gets successful results.10. Students are getting used to half-done, telegraphic-communication-like e-mail and chats. Somehow, the students are getting used to incomplete work.

Although profitable, your facility is not producing at the level necessary and its remote location and high transportation costs are major concerns. Its operations will be consolidated with a facility about 200 miles north. This decision will mean the largest employer in your small town will be closing down. The town’s economy could potentially collapse. Everyone at the management meeting were told they could not, under penalty of losing their jobs, say anything about the closure to any of their employees until the formal

Instead thestudents were expected to know the material learnt from video lessons to work on theirhomework and in-class problems.

Inspection of such problems through simulations and by conductingsimple experimental evaluations provides the students with practical knowledge, in-depthunderstanding and better retaining of the taught material.

1997 gave tax credits to middle and upper-middle income taxpayers. State governments followed similar patterns, creating plans that encourageparents to save. Although this ostensibly provides the same advantages to all taxpayers, in reality poorpeople don’t have any money to save – they need it in order to survive. This fact is convenientlyoverlooked in the presumptions behind these acts. States have also introduced various merit scholarships,tied to SAT scores, grade-point averages or class ranking, that are available to all students regardless ofneed. Although it could be said that these changes do not take money away from poorer students,cumulatively they add to the ideology that financial aid is widely available and remove

did not find value in the extent of review. The challengeof balancing the learning needs of two different cohorts is a common theme arising ininterdisciplinary engineering education [2]. Two major adjustments are planned for the secondoffering to address this imbalance. The first adjustment is to include a more extensive review oftopics from computing, particularly the use of computational models. The second adjustment isto shift much of the prerequisite review to offline learning modules that students can completeindependently. This will allow students to work through prerequisite material at their own pace,possibly spending less time on topics with which they are already familiar. This format willmaintain sufficient lecture time to cover
