Education, 2023 Closing the Gap between Industry and Academia via Student Teams SupportAbstractA well-known challenge in engineering education is the attempt to balance the demands of industryrecruitment with the core needs of an already packed engineering curriculum. Due to timeconstraints, real-world examples and other learning opportunities that aim to develop andconsolidate the industry-desirable skills can be difficult to include in the curriculum. One way toaddress this challenge is to collaborate with industry (for example, on capstone projects, studentteam challenges, etc.) while the students are still studying. A place for these collaborations, whichcan provide benefit for both parties, is through student competitions. Student

Engineering Education, 2023Integration of VHDL Simulations and Written Reflections to Improve StudentUnderstanding of Sequential Logic Circuits1. IntroductionReflection is known to be a valuable tool that can enhance student learning. Although thebenefits of self-reflection are well-known, it is under-utilized in engineering education. Thus,there is a growing body of research on how to promote and deploy reflective activities in theengineering classroom (Benson).One recent development is the integration of computer-aided simulation tools and writtenreflections (Dickerson). Computer-aided simulation tools provide students with the ability topredict the behaviors of complex systems without having to concern themselves with everysingle detail of the

With proper monitoring of thebioreactor using various sensors, the reactors could actively monitor and harvest the growth ofalgae. This could remove excess buildup and deposit it for use in a fermenting tank to produceethanol for the building energy needs, with the flue gasses being collected and introduced intothe bioreactors.IntroductionWhat is a bioreactor? A bioreactor is a device or system that uses biological organisms to complete a specificchemical or biological process. For the purpose of this paper, the organism will be algae.
