infuse thesetopics into any course. Touching on these issues frequently, even if not in-depth, may reinforceto students that considering societal impacts is an important part of the common activity ofengineers in all settings. This approach may also be less intimidating to engineering faculty, asfor the most part they have not been formally trained in teaching ethics. The list of topicsdescribed in this paper provide basic ideas, some of which are more common for particulardisciplines.A series of interviews are planned to explore promising macroethics education approaches, and asmaller number of examples will be selected as case studies for detailed study (including studentand alumni interviews, classroom observations, etc.).

authors are planning to expand upon this work through the following: 1) Develop new educational modules focusing on additional asynchronous circuit topics, such that asynchronous circuit concepts can be incorporated into a larger variety of Computer Engineering courses. 2) Develop a synthesis methodology using the developed NCL library that can be incorporated into the existing CAD tools. 3) Complete the development of NCL design and optimization CAD tools, which work with the Mentor Graphics design tool suite, such that students can design and test large NCL circuits and can study the operation of the asynchronous CAD tools in the context of their synchronous counterparts. 4) Port the static and semi-static libraries to Cadence
agricultural land was added.Two bio-char based trial plants have already been made or are in the planning stages, one inJapan and one in Australia. A full scale Australian plant would contain 50,000 ha of mallee, andthe trial plant in Australia was capable of producing “7500 MWh of electricity, 690 t of activatedcarbon, and 210 t of eucalyptus oil.”14A full scale plant would produce “40,000 MWh ofelectricity, 1050 t of eucalyptus oil, 2720 t of granular activated carbon, 1090 t of pelletisedactivated carbon and 294 t of powdered activated carbon.”14 The net present value of this plantwould be $7.8 million dollars. The Japanese plant contains 1,000 ha of mallee trees and will bescaled up to 10,000 ha if successful. The goal is to establish a carbon

These questions are used as the basis for the learning cycle.Through personal experiences, questions such as “why”, “what”, “how”, and “what if?” aredeveloped as shown in Figure 2. The purpose of the first quadrant is to provide a clear image ofthe overall subject and to discuss future plans by providing a better understanding of thematerials to aid in establishing goals. Additionally, the questions provide answers for real lifeapplications.39 In the second quadrant, the

more relevant and supportive educationalenvironments. Learning from social media insights provides critical information for organizers ofeducational campaigns and events in STEM [24]. They demonstrate the effectiveness of socialmedia in reaching and engaging diverse audiences, underscoring the need for strategic use ofhashtags, media elements, and influential participants to maximize the impact of such campaigns.These findings can be applied to enhance the planning and execution of future STEM promotioninitiatives, ensuring wider and more effective public engagement.Conclusions and Future WorkThis systematic literature review meticulously examines the use of social media in engineeringeducation, revealing themes, practice, and research

In this rapid prototyping phase, students should be encouraged to use easy-to-manipulate (e.g., cardboard, rubber bands) materials to develop multiple iterations of initial McKibbenmuscle mechanisms. Students should be encouraged to develop a design that addresses one of the threegame challenges using a McKibben muscle. Another option is to assign students to produce a simplemechanism to complete a specified task that will sufficiently develop the student's understanding of themuscle actuation. Subsequently, students will be able to brainstorm various ways to address the remainingchallenges not yet designed. Students should be given time to then sketch and plan for their

Similarly, students with strongprior interdisciplinary knowledge and modeling and simulation competencies will interact farbetter with their peers and build their communication and collaboration skills based on thoseguiding prompts. The qualitative results showed that the students tended to engage their modeldevelopment and result reporting and visualization skills more independently than as a teambecause of the disciplinary technicalities and team members' prior knowledge.Overall, the insights derived from this study can prove valuable in the planning andimplementation of effective team-based course intervention strategies that pertain to project-based modeling

After our analysis,the findings identified offshore wind as a topic and set of resources that were not helpingstudents conceptualize bias, differential impacts, and cause of societal outcomes as richly as wehoped. As a response, we plan to replace offshore wind with a different topic. To contend withthe issues of student lack of familiarity

This is at least the second time the students have taken thiscourse. The workshops were designed to offer an alternative teaching-learning strategy for thestudents. Since students who repeat a course tend to miss classes under the assumption that theyhave already seen or done the activities of the workshops, teachers and designers planned theactivities using a teaching strategy (modified ILD) and incorporated technology (Phetsimulations) to make the physics course more engaging for the students [15].The innovative design was based on a positive

This flexibility allows students to tailor their study plans according to their specificrequirements and backgrounds, ensuring a customized and effective educational experience in the realm ofData Science.Moreover, instructors employ a multifaceted approach by providing diverse examples and projects toinspire students with varied backgrounds. Our faculty members, hailing from diverse disciplines such asComputer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, and Communications, contribute to the richnessof perspectives. This diversity enables
responses capture experiences ranging from students whostrongly preferred this approach to those who strongly disliked it. A strong theme that emergedfrom these comments include students’ appreciation for the flexibility afforded by the flipped-style class to engage with lecture material at their own pace, schedule, and manage commitmentsthey have in their lives. An interesting self-reflection from multiple students notes the high-levelof executive function (e.g. planning, focusing attention, remembering, and balancing multipletasks) and self-regulation (e.g. resisting impulses) required to be successful in this class format.The feedback of students who did not enjoy the flipped-style format suggest that this may also bethe source of their dislike

As of the submission of this papper, out of the13 students, 8 have submitted their papers to journals, and one paper is accepted for publication.The instructor plans to continue tracking their status. The others have not yet submitted due tovarious reasons, such as a lack of confidence in the quality of their writing, ongoing revisionswith additional details, or waiting for final approval from their advisors.In conclusion, research writing is a vital skill that many graduate students lack; yet, it is essentialfor their academic and professional success [17]. This pilot study demonstrates that a structured,intensive course can significantly improve students’ writing proficiency by addressing crucialtopics such as goal

Future research willbe necessary to understand the impact of initial pedagogical practices. I plan to learn and assesshow other faculty engage with AI in their classrooms at the University of Virginia throughsurveys, pedagogical demonstrations, and interviews. AI technology cannot be ignored, nor can itbe diluted into a binary decision of acceptance or rejection. As educators, it is our responsibilityto reflect and assess what this technology means to pedagogical practice. It is

The course is divided into seven modules and includes three exams. This paper willlimit our discussion to the teaching/learning techniques/strategies applied to Module 0 throughModule 3. We will not discuss applying these strategies to the other modules for now as we wantto avoid repetitive discussions of similar methods. Furthermore, we plan to explore the applicationof other teaching techniques to Modules 4 through 6 in

The students seemed to enjoy spending time with the faculty andthe teaching assistants outside class time. Both, the lunches and the office hours were informal, wherestudents were not limited to course-related topics only. Some of the topics that came up during thelunches were the students’ curriculum, their future career plans, questions about the different engineeringdisciplines, or just plain daily conversations. Providing time for students in an informal environment totalk about such topics in a stress-free manner encouraged them to think and discuss their

I'm not disillusioned in the sense that where persons write these nice papers, and it just reads and goes on the shelf, and no one cares. No, my technique is, I put it in the newspaper. In the papers, I talk about it. I do my speeches about it. I will go to the schools and work with those students in that space. It's theory to practice... I try to create things that teachers or people can appreciate because I think that's one of the limitations of higher ed. We
