Paper ID #39702Creating Inclusive Engineers through Humanitarian Engineering:Quantitative Results from a SurveyDr. Kirsten Heikkinen Dodson, Lipscomb University Kirsten Heikkinen Dodson (pronouns: she/her) is an Associate Professor and Chair of Mechanical Engi- neering in the Raymond B. Jones College of Engineering at Lipscomb University. She earned her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Lipscomb University and her Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University before returning to her alma mater. Her research interests focus on the connections between humanitarian en- gineering, engineering education, and equity and inclusion topics
accommodatestudents that tested positive for the virus and to continue their learning without being in the classroom.Labor-based grading guarantees to any student that completes the assigned labors honestly, faithfully, in areasonable time, and with a reasonable number of errors, the grade of B (3.1 on a 4 point scale). Gradeshigher than a B can be achieved through the completion of extra labors that expand the learning goals ofthe student or support the learning goals of others in our community. Grades lower than B are awarded tostudents that struggle to meet all the completion criteria for assigned labors, but are still able to completethem with additional help or time.Labor-based grading replaces point based grading with a completion metric.

Francisco Bay. The dataset, we show, goesa long way for demonstrating essential ML concepts such as classification, clustering, dimensionreduction, model assessment, and deep learning. We convert the original dataset into a Python-friendly format (“pickle” file), which we also make available on GitHub, and we include a black-and-white (B&W) dataset as well. Our students find this maritime dataset and associated miniprojects engaging, which we support in Section 4 with a student reflection penned by a USCGLicense student in the SUNY Maritime College electrical engineering program.1.1: Data DescriptionThe original dataset includes 4000 red-green-blue (RGB) images 80-by-80 in size, 1000 of whichcontain a single whole ship.

Further,we excluded studies about individual development for students with disabilities as well asforeign language acquisition with students speaking English as a second language (or foreignlanguage or L2). Such keywords like childhood, secondary, disability, and ESL were entered asexclusion words. Because neither Boolean terms nor an asterisk function could be used in Google Scholar,we alternatively use the advanced search function embedded in Google Scholar, that is, (a) withall of the words, (b) with at least one of the words, and (c) without the words. As such, wegenerated 33 search queries in Google Scholar, by varying the keywords combination

configuration of 555 timers is a pulsewidth modulator. Both LMC555 timers are required for the realization of this pulse-widthmodulator because changing the control voltage of the first LMC555 will change the frequencyand the duty cycle of the output waveform [3]. Changing the control voltage (Vctrl) of the secondLMC555 will not change the frequency of the resulting output voltage but will change the dutycycle as shown in Fig. 7.Fig. 7 (a) PWM Circuit; (b) Vctrl = 1.6 V, D = 15.46%; (c) Vctrl = 4 V, D = 50.19%; (d) Vctrl = 4.9 V, D = 83.14%.3.4 Gate Driver CircuitAlthough feeding the output voltage of the second LMC555 to the gate of the IRFP460 wouldwork, the gate capacitance of the IRFP460 leads to high switching

Students were alsoencouraged to use SketchUp and Sefaira to evaluate the performance of their group project and make designdecisions. However, time dedicated to group projects was barely enough to apply what they learned duringthe summer camp on a foam board physical model. Students showed more interest in creating a physicalmodel rather than creating a digital one.a) A simple house model in SketchUp, b) Daylight simulation for a north-oriented (left) and south-oriented windows (right) of a simple house model in New York, US.

those students failed the course (F grade), the other threeearned B grades, and one received an A grade. The relation between the student who failed andthe corresponding survey response is understandable. However, the case of the other students whopassed the course but believed that the course did not improve their communication competenciesneeds further investigation. We hypothesize that these three students may have previouscommunication knowledge. Written Communication 1 & 2 Assignment Instructions This is a core assignment meaning a file upload is required.

outline: 60 points o Paper draft (past): 120 points o Final paper: 200 pointsQuizzes were given at the end of each historical module (modules 2, 3, 4, and 5). These were‘open-book,’ individual online quizzes timed to one hour with a closed-end (true or false,multiple choice or matching) and open-ended questions. After the first module assessment, theinstructor added a quiz so that students could utilize their best four of five quiz scores. Theadditional examination was added within the modern architecture module because this was themodule with the highest number of lectures. As the semester progressed, the open-ended quizquestions were changed to either (a) short-open-ended questions or (b) more structured open-ended questions

provide an evenly distributed flow of liquid over the cross section of the column. This allows maximum interaction between the gas and liquid streams. Several distributors were connected to a sink faucet and tested. The standard aerators shown in Figures 2a and b achieved even distributions only at high flow rates, associated with column flooding. The nozzle shown in Figure 2c led to uniform spraying at low flow rates but was set aside because of chemical compatibility concerns. The cross-pipe shown in Figure 2d was suitable for the current trials, leading to an adequately uniform flow profile. a b c d Figure 2. Liquid distributors evaluated: a) & b

—and greatefforts to fulfill this desire will be exerted [5, p. 381]. As with the other psychological theoriesand constructs, the concept of belonging is based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs [6]. Later, Baumeister and Leary [4] broadened the construct of belonging with thebelongingness hypothesis. They defined belonging as a factor in developing and maintaininglasting, positive, and meaningful interpersonal bonds. Furthermore, this hypothesis is supportedby two characteristics: (a) that individuals maintain conflict-free interaction with others and (b)that individuals retain connections with others through stable, committed, and genuine concern.By developing long-term relationships, a person can satisfy their need for SB.
