Most of thewritten comments concerned the lecture video delivery problems.This engineering education project required significant collaboration and flexibility on the part ofall organizations involved. While all had previously worked in different aspects of similarprojects, none had participated in this type of multi-organization relationship. Plans are alreadybeing made to improve this collaboration for future offerings of the course.Bibliography 1. N.A.

Through focus groups, students discussed their experiences with onlinelearning over the course of the pandemic and how they felt they were affected. Student responsesyielded categories that included their experiences while at home, the expectation violationsassociated with pivoting to remote instruction, changes in content delivery, initial experiences ofpivoting to online learning, the perceived learning gap, their professors’ ability to adapt, andtheir individual experiences using spaces during online learning. The themes that emerged helpto describe the experiences of four

, otheruniversities can adopt and adapt these activities to use in their programs.1. IntroductionChoosing a major is a daunting task for many first-year college students, especially if the choicesspan fields with which students have little exposure and experience. It is estimated that 20 – 50%of first-year college students enter college as “undecided” about their major[7]. In order toprovide first-year engineering students time to discern, a set of resources and course activitieswere created and assessed in an introduction to engineering course. The results of two studies arepresented in this paper.The structure of the remainder of the paper is as follows. The next section describes theeducational theory relevant to this study, models of introduction to
choices. In this study, we are concerned with GTAs‟ autonomy inteaching tasks.MethodsBecause little is known about GTAs‟ teaching experiences, this research is exploratory in nature.Moreover, qualitative research methods are most appropriate for answering our researchquestions as we seek to understand GTAs‟ experience in their own words 19. Although there area variety of quantitative instruments for studying SDT none are directly applicable in thissituation and using qualitative methods could help us develop appropriate quantitative methodsfor future use.ParticipantsParticipants were selected from graduate teaching assistants in the College of Engineering at alarge, research intensive, land-grant university in a Mid-Atlantic state. Only graduate
courses includegiving students hands-on experiences and providing them with an integrated perspective on ECEtopics so that they see the linkages between material across courses, such as transistors in theelectronics course and in the digital systems course.The project described in this paper is for the ECE 2804 “Integrated Design Project” course in thesecond semester of the second year. The course is meant to be a “mini-capstone” course thatprovides a scaffold for students toward a more open-ended design experience in their fourth year,as well as exposes students to a variety of professionalism topics, as will be described in moredetail in Section 5. The course also serves as a gateway to choosing a major in the third year, asthe course is a
