We had a contingencyplan in place in case some teams were not delivering the appropriate quality, this plan includedextra monitoring from the faculty members and the PhD students that were teaching assistants inthe course but this was not required as every team performed accordingly. Furthermore, with thissetting the students were able to develop a project that was not only real, but more complex thatthe projects used in the past.The guidance from the engineering education researchers and instructors helped the teammembers to use several strategies to overcome the challenges. One of the strategies
wouldpatiently wait for them to finish – eager to get past the story they wished to present to the worldand into the complicated histories that have been buried along the way. It got me thinking aboutmy own narrative of how I came to be an engineer, and how tortured I felt to deliver a quick,understandable explanation for why I belonged in engineering. I remember trimming parts of thestory that did not go well in my conversations with others, eliminating the parts that didn’t fitwell, were confusing, or left doubts about my qualifications. I was curious to what extent I mightrecognize these efforts in the narratives of other women.I was also surprised when my opening question did not work as planned, when participants didnot seem to understand it as an

IntroductionData communication, including data gathering, processing, and sharing, is one of the fields thatseems to have exponential growth, and it grows much faster than any other field, mostly due to thefact that it became lately an underlying technology for so many other fields. Research and businessalike are strongly dependent on the ability to access and process data. In addition, the ability tocommunicate with other computers and mobile devices through advanced data communicationtechnologies led to significant changes in everyday life and businesses.

This paperwill particularly focus on the implementation and evaluation of the engineering content on thesite. We will present and discuss results from (1) educator feedback surveys, (2) websiteanalytics, and (3) educator focus groups. We will also reflect on the challenges and opportunitiesin promoting new web-based educator materials. Our team has implemented a number ofstrategies to reach teachers, including social media, conference attendance, and emailnewsletters. Now that the materials have been available for over 18 months, we are able to sharelessons learned

Advising is integratedwith other ECE student administration, including the course scheduling processes, classmanagement, and curriculum.

Future work stemming from this research will alsodelve into understanding why students seem to prioritize other considerations at the expense ofstakeholders during their engineering design process. Exploring the remainder of the survey willgive an insight on how students perceive, experience, and define engineering design as well ashow these perceptions and experiences can impact a student’s design experience. Future workwill also explore the changes made during the redesign of the two-semester Senior Design courseand how these specific changes may have impacted students’ experiences in the course as well astheir design processes and
because of the logs? I try to answer the question instead of waiting for the answer even I speak in a low voice. And I will ask other classmates questions I don't understand after class and watch some relevant videos sometimes. After I need to finish the log, I will use the options on the log to plan what I will do in class or after class. For journaling reasons, I tried something I hadn't done before. Because of the participation log, I began to take notes in class and communicate with my classmates about the question that I have. I become more engaged especially out-of-class because I should pay more efforts and time to the course to earn the points for participation log. I have tried to answer the questions asked by teachers in class and as I

Furthermore, as of date, our research has not found any ERP studies related toengineering in any aspect.

Woolley, Chabris, Pentland, Hashmi, & Malone (2010) investigated the linkbetween collective intelligence factor of a group and their corresponding performance on variousteamwork tasks (e.g., brainstorming, planning events). They showed how collective intelligencewas more a function of social sensitivity of the members than the sum of individual intelligenceof each member. Notably, these factors were positively correlated with female participation andnegatively correlated with the number of speaking turns took during execution of tasks. Thesefindings emphasize that power dynamics and

And I was wondering, okay, let's say I change my major from computer science. What do I change it to? I've never thought about doing anything else, never thought about a plan B.

forstudent and researcher process design projects. Using PPIs to adjust chemical prices provides anappropriate means to adjust older chemical prices to the present. In this study, PPIs were used toadjust four chemical prices over a 15-year period and assessed the results in terms of comparing toreported prices. The approach was moderately successful in that 90% of the PPI-adjusted priceswere within ±50% of reported values and 81% were within a 2003-2018 historical price range forthe chemicals studied. In addition to the comparisons of PPI-adjusted prices to reported values, thispaper offers a few items to consider if planning to use PPIs to adjust chemical prices. References1. Couper, J.R., 2003
