Survey results of citizen science water data collection volunteers are presented, indicating personal benefits (e.g., being in nature, helping local quality), and suggesting potential long-term improved watershed health behavior change). These can inform program development contribute to planners' understanding the broad such programs. We suggest that respondents' positive feelings toward watershed's major river desire learn about nature place-specific elements managers could utilize...
To address complex sustainability challenges, solutions are needed that integrate the biophysical and sociocultural dimensions of sustainability. Engineers designing these must be technically adept problem solvers, as well effective at integrating non-technical into their design solutions. This paper reports on educational interventions in both a university engineering course service-learning skill sessions. Using mixed methods assessment approach to investigate interventions, data were...
In countries like Bolivia and Colombia, increased pressures on freshwater supplies are putting millions at risk, effective adaptation strategies will be critical to mitigating the worst impacts in these regions. Transdisciplinary knowledge production frameworks can account for interactions of natural human-made environments, provide a potential solution those developing Recent scholarship has reconciled common perceptions transdisciplinary within literature; however, little is known about...
NASA's next flagship mission, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, is a 2.4-meter observatory set to launch no later than May 2027. features two instruments: Wide Field Imager and Coronagraph Instrument. The Technology Demonstration that will push current capabilities of direct imaging smaller contrast ratios (∼10<sup>−9</sup>) inner-working angles (3 λ/D). In order achieve this high precision, data must be calibrated remove as many potential sources error possible. Here we present...
Abstract The Influence of a College Teaching Workshop Series on Assistant Perceptions Preparedness and Self-EfficacyIntroduction: At large, research-intensive institutions, graduate students are often providedfunding as teaching assistants (TAs) asked to lead instruction in undergraduate classes1.While many these TAs have the content knowledge instruction, those who lack abackground education may not pedagogical contentknowledge necessary teach effectively2. In order provide with skills...
The COVID-19 global pandemic presented service-learning practitioners with challenges, as well opportunities for critical analysis and reinvention. Yet there is hard work in deconstructing our practices, risk bravely sharing shortcomings publicly. Learning from failure, however, has the potential to shape more practice. This shares such failures lessons learned a examination of an environmental ecological engineering course developed 2013. Using data collected community project assessments...
Abstract In addressing the challenge of rising healthcare costs, medical technology innovation is needed to reduce improve outcomes, and make care accessible affordable. Meanwhile, biomedical engineers are increasingly asked develop user-centered solutions. Nevertheless, making solution desirable among users has been often neglected in process. To engineering educators, it remains unclear how effectively stimulate potential an undergraduate curriculum as there a lack studies discussing...
Abstract In the innovation process, design practice involves multiple iterations of framing and reframing under high levels uncertainty ambiguity. Additionally, as user desirability is a significant criterion for innovative design, designers' empathy in process considered critical user-centered ability that engineering students should develop. this context, study aims to discuss how problem manifestation interplay process. As an exploratory study, investigates biomedical (BME) students'...
Abstract One of the aims biomedical engineering is to facilitate development innovative technologies address socioeconomic challenges in healthy living and independent aging. Realizing such innovations requires empathy, agility, creativity. This project support professional a competent engineer workforce that can effectively accomplish emphatic innovation, one frame re-frame problems through innovation process. Our research examined how students empathize with users develop empathic...
The downtown center of Lafayette, Indiana is situated in a food desert where access to healthy, nutritious can be limited. Urban gardens are an effective way increase healthy alternatives while also providing number benefits the surrounding area, including opportunities for community growth, education, and physical activity. In summer 2016, researchers from Purdue University collaborated with Lafayette’s GrowLocal Gardens Network (GrowLocal) perform baseline analysis current gardening...
Abstract Graduate programs in environmental and ecological engineering attract students from diverse intellectual backgrounds. Much of the graduate population at U.S. institutions consists who completed majors a variety disciplines, or natural sciences. At Purdue University, faculty discussed developed unique, team taught modular course, to serve as foundation for all completing studies engineering. The course also serves bridge between level work research projects. genesis included...

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's (Roman) Coronagraph Instrument is a technology demonstration equipped to achieve flux contrast levels of up 10−9. This precision depends upon the quality observations and their resultant on-sky corrections via an absolute calibration (AFC). Our plan utilizes 10 dim 4 bright standard photometric calibrator stars from Hubble (HST) CALSPEC catalog yield final AFC error 1.94% total observation time ∼22 minutes. Percent accounts for systematic uncertainties...
