that needto take place in order to generate new knowledge. By the end of the module, it is anticipated thatstudents will be able to start on their project(s), although many of the items they were introducedto in this module will be developed in more depth in later ones.Module 2: Research PracticesIn the second module, the course goes into more detail on how to go about conducting research,in terms of actual activities that take place. It begins with a section on dividing projects intodistinct tasks, then covers sections on effort planning, scheduling, and effort reporting. It nextcontains sections on practices important to working with others and progressing, includingteamwork, file sharing practices, seeking help, staying on task, and

The team at University of Pretoria had contact with the KrugerNational Park organization.AREND is a PBL initiative aligned to a real-world challenge with an overarching problem statement: “Team AREND will design a technological solution to aid Kruger National Park (KNP) rangers in the protection of black and white rhinos from poaching. The solution shall constitute, but not be limited to, an unmanned aircraft (18kg, 4.2m wingspan, cruise speed 20m/s, stall speed 15m/s) capable of conducting, efficient, quiet and remote surveillance of large

reviewed. Second, program outcomes are assessed. Both arecompared to the results from prior years where the REU was conducted on-campus.6.1. Benefits Sought and AttainedAs in prior years, participants were asked to identify areas that they hoped to attain benefit andareas in which they did attain benefit. This data is presented in Appendix 3’s Table A1 anddiscussed in Appendix 3.Overall, while the limited number of participants limits the utility of direct comparisons, theonline program during year 3 outperformed the two previous years in terms of the number ofcategories that participant-sought benefits were attained in. Thus, it can be concluded that therewas no large-scale detriment in this area. The smaller cohort size may have impaired
connected to the student’s education, rather than leaving it tothe individual students to independently figure out what the relation is between their co-op workand their coursework [3].One method to assist students in making connections is through written reflections. Suchreflections have been used within particular courses, such as Socha, et al.’s integration ofreflective practices into software engineering [6] and Reidsema and Mort’s use of reflectivewriting in an engineering design course [7]. The integration of reflection into engineeringeducation in a broader sense was studied by Turns, et al. [8], and recent work by Badenhorst, etal. [9] described reflective writing as a specific “new literacy” for engineering students.Furthermore, reflective

The platform was created in collaborationwith experiential educators worldwide and was integrated into the intervention in 2018. Theintervention leverages Practera to: • mediate the three-way relationship between an employer partner, the educator, and the student/s. • provide the educational scaffolding to empower students who have not previously worked on employer projects with the skills and perspective to successfully contribute in a work environment—especially when navigating as a remote worker. • provide the educator with real-time learning analytics designed to unearth collaboration issues, track each
discussion posts indicate that the design andimplementation of this course was effective in meeting the established learning goals andsupporting students’ experiential education experiences in research. Although we hope toincorporate some in-person activities into future offerings of EGR 193, the bulk of the coursewill likely remain online to provide flexibility for students who are pursuing a wide range ofresearch experiences. One important adjustment to future online offerings of this course will beto integrate more opportunities for students to receive encouragement and positive reinforcementfrom their peers and the instructor. As noted in the discussion of week 3’s recommendation letterexercise, the asynchronous nature of this course meant that

For the initial cohort, the programdevelopers expected that the process would be primarily related to the number of applications.After our research results showed Cohort 1’s success was more dependent on personalconnections with a company, networking with companies was given a strong focus throughout2020. Networking was a stronger focus in the training for Cohort 2 students and they had greateropportunities to connect with companies through Bell Program sponsored career fairs. Part ofthis research will look to identify if the program changes made from the first research resulted intangible improvements for Cohort 2 co-op placement.III.

Feedback from InstructorsAll respondents to the Survey of Instructors (N = 6) agreed to some extent (strongly orotherwise) with the following statements ‘I am receiving all the support I require for remoteteaching of my program-specific subject/s’ and ‘I am receiving all the support I require forremote teaching of my program-specific subject/s’. Respondents to the Survey of Instructors were asked to note things they liked and thingsthey did not like about remote teaching. Their responses can be summarized as follows: • They liked the greater
