Part of the role of education isto improve skills in decision-making, critical thinking, and problem solving. Lecture and theorybased teaching methods deny success to those who learn through experience. Therefore,opportunities that provides a learner a chance to make mistakes and receive immediate feedbackthat AI brings affords is a welcome to education [8,15].MethodA three-year plan to study the impact of the AI computer vision workshops for teachers isunderway. The first two years have been completed and are being reported in this paper. Yearthree will be conducted

options of Arduino and LabVIEW with students, as summarized in Table 1, allowsthem to make better choices when planning projects. In the Mechanical Engineering Departmentof the University of Arkansas, LabVIEW is only seen by students during Lab 1. The experienceuses LabVIEW as a control; the students use code given to them by the instructor. An addition tothis experience showing data collection and allowing students to employ either the simple VIs orthe DAQmx VIs would give students a launching point for using LabVIEW. This would set upstudents to utilize LabVIEW’s range of customizable code and accuracy in data acquisition.Arduino is currently used in the Intro to Mechatronics course, but, like LabVIEW, Arduino isused for control.

This facilitated in achieving anoptimal solution to the problem.By working with team members with diverse educational background and experiences, thegraduate students learned different work styles, approaches, attitudes, and ethics. For example, thegraduate students experienced that team members with engineering backgrounds strived for bestresults and settled for most optimal work possible, whereas members with managementbackgrounds were focused on effective task completion and

has impacted families and residents of all backgrounds,causing an enormous amount of stress and worry in all cases. Since the deterioration process ofaffected concrete usually develops over 10+ years, it would be very beneficial to obtain data thatcan indicate the deterioration early on so that potential corrective measures can be planned. Dataacquisition using non-destructive test methods is emphasized in this research. This includestesting the resonant frequency (RF) and surface resistivity (SR). Based on this data, themicrostructure of the concrete foundation can be assessed and its change over time monitored.Crack monitoring devices such as digital calipers, a crack width ruler, and a crack microscopewill complement the data acquisition
disadvantages of offering manufacturing programs outweigh its advantages, the future ofmanufacturing engineering programs looks not very promising unless larger institutions or majorindustries get involved. On the contrary, any institution with a good plan and location near avariety of industries or major industry can sustain its manufacturing programs since millions ofmanufacturing jobs are still available (even though a fraction of these will be engineering jobs)and retiring manufacturing personnel need to be replaced. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)presents that there were 292,000 industrial/manufacturing engineering jobs available in 2020 andit expects a 14% increase (faster than average) in that figure between the years of 2020-2030,adding
thecritical time period before and after the total solar eclipse which last 2~3 minutes. However, for theupcoming 2024 total solar eclipse, more accurate estimates are desired for a better planning of theflight operation and timing for payload preparation, balloon launch, actual flight in the air, andpayload tracking and recovery, and also for video-streaming during the eclipse moment as well asa post-eclipse period as part of a typical balloon flight of ~2 hours. As such, one of the high-priority tasks was to extend and optimize the run time of the videopayload. For the past three years until 2020, however, no meaningful progress was made, partlydue to the fact that students assigned to the task needed to spend a considerable amount of time

. One prevalentobstacle is their social capital deficit. According to Lin, social capital is defined as “theinvestment in social relations with expected returns in the marketplace” (p.19, 2001). This socialcapital deficit can appear for undergraduate engineering students in the following ways: (a) lackof access to social supports for career planning, (b) lack of awareness or comfortability withseeking support from university resources including faculty and career centers, and (c) lack offamilial emotional support for their career path (Martin, Millers & Simmons, 2014). This socialcapital deficit can result in degree completion failure, underemployment, and lower lifetimeearnings. Providing the students with explicit instruction on

The exercises ranged from writing simple MATLAB programs thatperform computations and graph results to more complex and practical applications. Feedbackfrom students indicate that the exercises were successful in achieving the course objectives butthere is room for improvement. Future plans include expanding the simulation exercises toinclude induction motors and the smart grid. The final project was well-received by students andis expected to continue to exist in a similar

research data collection: interviews, surveys, and educational record reviews. All the targeted interviews are conducted in the virtual environment using Zoom. The educational record reviews do not require the presence of students. Therefore, the health and safety of the students are not affected by the data collection activities. The COVID-19 has had no negative impact on our research data collection plans. In-person Courses and Laboratories: In rare cases, when it is not possible to virtually run a course or a laboratory, they are held using an in-person mode. Currently none of the S- STEM scholars has an in-person class or laboratory. If an in-person class becomes necessary, the students and

The lesson plans and activities are developed with the intent that the participatingteachers will use them later in regular elementary classrooms.The curriculum used in the after-school program was developed by our Neural Engineering Laband provided as PowerPoints and pdfs. The typical program used by the teachers is shown inTable 2. Lessons and activities were related to engineering and neuroscience concepts, withmany aligned to NGSS and Missouri Science standards [12, 14]. Each week began with a 5–10-minute math drill which increased in difficulty throughout the program. Students were dividedinto groups and instructed to build the Lego robot. The first lessons were focused on kinematics;students were taught

Since most of the STEM program participants are female, SWEmembers play role models in those events. Most SWE members are enthusiastic in promotingSTEM to young girls and high school students. Depending on the number of participants, thenumber of volunteers varies. For the Girl Scout events, we typically need more than 30volunteers, so planning ahead to make sure we have enough volunteers is key to success.SWE organize the annual Girl Scout event, most volunteers are from SWE club, there are someother professional clubs on campus to help out as well
Rehabilitation Act requiringthe provision of access and accommodations to students with disabilities [1]. Theimplementation of an effective online course therefore is the result of planned and deliberateactivities. The various challenges of developing online courses have deterred faculty fromembracing the pedagogy. A recent survey [2] of about 2000 faculty indicated that although therewas steady increase in faculty experienced in online teaching, less than 50% faculty had taught atleast one course online. In this backdrop, the challenges faced by faculty not experienced orhaving limited experience in online teaching while moving to a remote learning cannot beoverstated. The quick pivot to remote learning course delivery did not allow faculty to
