-focusedengineering summer camp. Although it is different from most other professional learningexperiences that are available to teachers, having the teachers participate in authentic engineeringexperiences with their students and giving them time to reflect on these experiences during theworkshops, is clearly beneficial to the teachers. With the changes that are being made to the nextGEAR UP Engineering Summer camp, it is expected that the benefits of having the professionallearning experience as a part of the camp will continue and that there will be additional benefitsas a result of the improvements made to the professional learning experience.

While studentswere allowed to view approximately 20 projects, fewer than 10 were accepting

The most important impact of this practice was that the knowledge and experiencestudent gained in their project accumulated and stored in a single location. The students workingon the same topic had access to the folder as well as the instructor(s). When new students startedto work on the same topic, the Google Drive folder from past teams was shared with them andthey had access to everything the previous team(s) had done and used.The final overall course assessment was according to the following items: Proposal 15% Interim report 15% Final report 30% Progress reports or meetings 20% Poster
students’ knowledge about sustainable engineering: Question 1: What does sustainability mean to you now? How do you define sustainability? Question 2: Who can contribute to sustainability? In what way(s)? Question 3: What can engineers do for sustainability? Question 4: What sustainable engineering design tool/principle do you know? Question 5: Have you heard of any individual or organization take any initiatives for sustainability? If yes, explain the details.The answers before and after showed an obvious progress in students’ knowledge ofsustainability and sustainable engineering approaches. Overall, at the beginning of the semester,a lot of students had the very limited knowledge of all of the questions

the input terminalto incorporate the protection device.ConclusionA new laboratory experiment utilizing a new Buck converter module has been developed toimprove students’ learning experience and skills in power electronics. The new lab module wasconstructed with the full support from Monolithic Power Systems, and it was designed toaccommodate new learning outcomes. Initial assessment of the new Buck experiment indicatedthat the new Buck converter is able to effectively fulfill the new learning outcomes. A moreformalized survey is currently under plan to assess the effectiveness of the new lab module inhelping students achieve the learning outcomes.References1.

Engineering at Quinnipiac University, only activities requiring faculty expertise, such as guidance and mentorship, are considered value-added and are performed by the faculty advisor. There are other frequently-performed advising activities, such as navigating the course management system, that do not require the expertise of a faculty member. These tasks are deemed to be non-value-added tasks when defining value from a faculty’s perspective. As such, these tasks are handled by the PM, a senior in the major. The PM meets with the student for a pre-advising session. S/he compiles an executive summary of this pre-advising session and provides it to the faculty advisor prior to the faculty advising session with the student. This

Many of society’schallenges impact a broad spectrum of peoples, communities, and systems. Addressing thesechallenges require
universities to identify students who may beinterested. They can provide more information and support as they encourage them to considerthese fields.References[1] English, T. (2016).
