. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020Introducing junto: a Web Tool to Build Project Teams based on a Bidding StrategyAbstractThis work presents a web application created to help instructors assign students to group projects,with an algorithm that optimizes student satisfaction, gives students the opportunity to select ateam member, and reduces time needed for an instructor to create teams. Our approach focuses ontwo main aspects: (a) it gives the student the ability to apply weights to their project choices(instead of just ranking them) and (b) it provides students with the opportunity to select aclassmate to be partnered with. We implemented a genetic algorithm that assigns students toprojects in
Civil Engineers (ASCE) developedand adopted the Policy Statement 465 entitled “Academic Prerequisites for Licensure andProfessional Practice.” This document establishes a framework for some major changesin the education of civil engineers with the long-term goal that, at some unspecified timein the future, civil engineering candidates for professional registration would be requiredto obtain a baccalaureate degree plus 30 additional hours of gradate work (B+M/30) priorto obtaining licensure [1]. Due to the considerable impact this implementation of policystatement would have on engineering education, ASCE established the first Body ofKnowledge (BOK) committee to help develop and refine the idea presented in the policy

Overall, the realworld project addressed several AccreditedBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria for student outcomes, specifically, (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; (b) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economics, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety

However, training needs for graduate
Session 2432 Teaching Three-Phase Power ... A Low-Voltage Approach Thad B. Welch ASEE/United States Air Force Academy Abstract Any electrical power systems course that includes demonstrations and/or laboratoryexercises would benefit from a low-voltage three-phase power supply. Providing a low-voltagethree-phase power supply allows classroom demonstrations and “hands-on” studentparticipation in laboratory exercises without the danger associated with a 240 VAC system.Faculty and student surveys indicate that students would benefit from a
having multipledrivers. Block statements are also discussed in greater detail at this time. Next the most concrete, lowest level of modeling, that is, structural, is discussed indetail. To be able to model at this level, the student must know what components, e.g., flip-flops and gates, make up the design. Component declarations and instantiations are illustratedwith numerous examples. Example 1 shows a component declaration and instantiation for asimple 2-input NAND gate.Example 1: Component Declaration & Instantiationfor 2-Input NAND Gatecomponent NAND2 -- Component declaration port(A, B: in std_logic; C: out std_logic);end component;-- Component instantiation:N1: NAND2 port map(S1, S2, S3); The next topics covered in

Inthe late 2000s, providing students just exploring the possibility of pursuing an engineering degree wasdeemed appropriate with an adjusted version of the first-year engineering seminar. This version wascomparable but differed in depth and rigor. The two versions of the seminar were for (a) acceptedengineering and (b) intended engineering students.The intended group made up approximately 35%-40% of the first-year engineering cohort. Thispercentage of the first-year cohort remained consistent since 2016; however, it was a more diverse groupin terms of race/ethnicity and first-generation status than that of the accepted students consisting of
Filling the Gaps Between Courses: A Proposal to Develop a Network Analysis Laboratory Manual Ahmed Hassebo, Sharif IM Sheikh, Afsaneh Ghanavati School of Engineering Wentworth Institute of Technology 550 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02115ABSTRACT:Filling the gap between the engineering courses is crucial to understand the theory and practice.

improvement compared to the baseline data discussed above.While the average grade of non-ASP students remained consistent at 3.3 (B+), ASP Lab studentsreceived a mean grade of 2.3 (C+), while ASP students who were not in the lab section received amean grade of 2.2 (C/C+). While we had hoped for a shift in this disparity during our pilot year, itis clear that there is more room for growth with respect to improving this model in subsequentiterations.Ultimately, these results suggest that interventions in the ASP lab sections designed to supporteffective student-student and student-instructor interactions fostered a community among studentsin the CS1 class. These results support our hypothesis. While this analysis does not establish acausal relationship
for feed to fall through in this position. While in use, the panel rotates, shifts the cutout slot to a newwedge, and releases all of the feed in the wedge. An encoded DC motor powers the panel rotation. The DCmotor is held in place by a 3D-printed motor casement that also acts as the indicator for the startingposition of the panel gate and new wedge. Adjustable tabs are screwed under the panel gate to helpbalance the panel gate in the bucket and support the weight of the feed. A metal funnel is placed at thebottom of the bucket to help guide falling feed into the exit hole.The device’s final design was completed at the beginning of Spring 2022 (Figure 2 B-C). Students receivedconstant feedback over the four semesters and produced a multitude
