enter CSM, they have already made the decision to enter a science orengineering career. Therefore, the students at CSM may be different from other first andsecond year students who are still exploring potential careers.Another concern that should be considered is the limited number of female dominatedand mixed gender teams. Unfortunately, women are a minority in the field ofengineering and comprise only a small number of engineering students. At CSM,females comprise approximately 25% of the student population. This resulted in alimited number of female dominated (n=11) and mixed gender teams (n=8), making theidentification of significant differences difficult. Given these cautionary statements, the

This philosophy propagates a student perception that basicchemistry is not very important to their careers. To counter this perception, we will link organicchemistry with reaction engineering and chemical process pathways courses through a series ofcommon experiments. This will illustrate to the student the importance of using chemistry fun-damentals to design chemical reactors.Reaction Engineering ExperimentsWe are proposing to develop and implement a set of 4 experiments.

This was the first time in the history of this author’s teaching career that students did not want to leave after the three- hour “lecture-laboratory” had ended. · Subsequently to this, several additional laboratory courses were held in this facility. A proposal to the College of Engineering dean was made to assist in obtaining larger quarters for the successful endeavor. · Major domestic and international ICS manufacturers were invited to the university for a presentation about the benefits of

One more reason wasthat some students were failing the course, but they could not drop the course, because of theuniversity policy of exceeding the withdraw limit during college career, thus they were not takingthe remaining exams during the semester.

One primary reason is algorithmic data bias, a commonphenomenon across datasets and systems that reflects incomplete ormisused data. With the incentive to make generalized systems that cando everything, everywhere, data bias reflects the data makeup and howit leads to systematically unfairly generated decisions or outcomes.As future engineers, analysts, and scientists, it is fundamental thattechnology students are made aware early in their careers

Although there are various methods for recording these hazards on constructionsites or predicting potential accidents, mastering this skill requires time and expertise, which canpose challenges for young engineers starting their careers.

Of our respondents,26 of them thought this would save time, and 13 didn’t (Figure 5). The reasons in favorof it saving time mirror those for teaching multiple face-to-face sections.
