Considering the perceived need for a balance academic load,we also plan to explore ways to improve curriculum planning and assessment patterns inengineering education. During the second semester of 2020, we collected students’ self-reports oftime-on-task to identify peaks of academic workload in specific weeks and subjects. Furtherstudies will be conducted to understand how these self-reported data could help teaching staff andstudents reflect about course planning and time management, respectively.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by CORFO under grant no. 14EN12-26862

data.ConclusionThis work is still in-progress. Our study has been set up with three undergraduate courses involving twofaculties. In this emulation students get the opportunity to perform through all standard softwaredevelopment phases in Agile method including requirements analysis, user-story backlog creation. Oncethe backlog is ready, developers plan for sprints and drive each sprint equipped with daily-scrum,retrospective and planning the next sprint. The entire process is driving through use of IST&P. Once thisstudy is done, our collected data will give us an insight about how this protocol impacts the learningeffectiveness and how it engages the students. We believe that the empirical data will give us a positiveresult reflecting the engagement and

In particular, program evaluation often focuses on immediate or outcomessome time after the event (often up to 6 months). In this study, we take advantage of the unusuallength of the ERC grant duration (10 years) to be able to reflect on the long-term impact ofSTEM programs in the development of identities and motivations along career pathways. In thisWork in Progress paper, we describe the ongoing process for developing the first round ofsurveys, as well as discussing considerations for

students appreciating the in-person courseexperience during a time when most of their other courses had been moved online. The increasedteacher scores may have been a reflection of the students’ appreciation of face-to-face interactionwith their instructors, or perhaps a reflection of the students’ acknowledgment that in-personinstruction during this time may have required more effort and preparation than in mostsemesters. Depending on the experience of the instructors in this category, the increase may alsobe partially attributed to the additional experience gained by the instructors between
groups (SA4)When students reflected on what they needed from their study groups, some trends were similarto those of lab groups. For example, 21.3% of students prioritized individual accountability intraditional learning while only 14.1% did so in remote learning. This downward trend is similarto what students said about their lab groups. With regard to individual accountability, whilestudents made more frequent comments about interpersonal and social skills in remote learningwith regard to their lab groups, the increase in these types of comments in their study groups wasmuch larger. Students in remote learning mentioned interpersonal and social skills with respectto their peer groups at over twice the frequency (22.7%) of students in
seen no evidence forsystematic differences in intrinsic motivation between men and women in either cohort.Therefore it seems unlikely that self-selection bias played a significant role.Our findings suggest that students were less motivated to learn in Fall 2020 (remote instruction)than in Fall 2019. However, the decrease in motivation over the course of the semester wasidentical in both conditions. This consistent decline may be an artifact of multiple surveying, ormay simply reflect the inevitable decline in enthusiasm under the burden of exams, impendingproject deadlines, and extracurricular commitments.Our unique dataset offers a narrow glimpse into the effect of COVID-19 on our students.However, we have assumed that the constructs measured
/TAs,and with other students—during the course. Again for clarity, the difference betweentechnology/platforms and methods was defined throughout the survey with examples from theentertainment industry.Face-to-face courses: This type of course typically has an in-person session, and may haveoutside components to the course. There were no face-to-face courses offered in the summer2020 semester, however, the students were asked to reflect on their interaction in face-to-facecourses from the fall 2019 semester. The students were asked the following qualitative questionsabout their interaction during the face-to-face session as well as outside the face-to-face session– (i) how the student interacted with instructors/TAs, and (ii) how the student
influencedtheir grade, (3) impressions of other members in the study group, (4) opinions about the mostvaluable and least helpful parts of the study group and (5) reflections on how participating in thestudy group changed their confidence in completing the engineering degree and their feelingsabout being a student at ASU. Pseudonyms were given to participants to ensure theconfidentiality of the interview.ResultsThere were 22/50 respondents for the post-survey (response rate of 44%). Of these, 16 could bematched to the pre-survey, due to the fact that some students did not use the same personal codethat they generated on the pre-survey. Of the 16, 14 had been placed in PLSGs, and one hadbeen placed in TARs (one student did not identify a group).Table 2
)they foster collaboration; (e) they involve meaningful reflection; and (f) they allow competingsolutions and diversity of outcomes. Importantly, the tasks are similar to the type of workstudents will experience as professional engineers (e.g., hydrologic modeling, analyzing trends indata, and justifying decisions) and the product of the module is polished and realistic (e.g., anassessment report, a model, or code).Previous research shows that student learning is greater in courses where tasks regularly promotehigh-level reasoning and problem-solving and lesser in courses where the tasks are scripted orprocedural [25] - [27]. Litzinger et al. [28] researched the learning processes that support thedevelopment of expertise. Their findings
engineering major's significancein other countries.Theoretical-based coursework is one of the contributing factors of large numbers of first-year E/CSleaving the engineering field [10]. Such coursework makes relating concepts taught in class toreal-world scenarios quite difficult and creates a negative feeling of engineering concepts amongE/CS students. Students tend to enjoy their coursework if they can see the benefits in real-worldapplications and the flexibility to solve real-world problems. E/CS curriculum should be updatedaccordingly to reflect technological advancement in the field. Teaching students, especially first-year students, outdated technologies and innovation could discourage students from continuing intheir majors. Students might

While research has yet to examine the impact of these types of educational environments canhave on student learning, empirical studies have corroborated that students tend to adjust theirlearning strategies on the basis of their perceptions of their learning environments [11, 31]. Placing these elements together, Figure 1 illustrates the general conceptual framework for thisstudy. Engineering students enter an online learning environment with their self-directed learningcapabilities, which are mainly reflected in their motivation for learning and
futureimprovement of the UIC model adopted in the IAPhD Project.Regional and national R&D in high-level talent training in JapanJapan’s UIC supporting initiatives reflected the importance of small firms in R&D. Thecountry’s UICs did not develop as rapidly as those of the U.S. and other European countries,possibly due to the lack of funding for small firms with R&D energy [13]-[14]. Since smallfirms usually face resource constraints [15], innovation initiatives constantly monitor theirperformance to provide the necessary support [16]. It is suggested that small firms benefit fromUIC regarding its characteristics related to practical goals and productization [17]. Japan hasalso emphasized on high-level talent training to stimulate both national
. The earlier in their education engineers are exposed to the layers ofabstraction associated with the leaps from experiment to project and product, the more theywill be able to advance not only their own craft, but the field altogether. The stakeholders whobenefit from a self-reflective engineering force will live comfortably and sustainably, so longas engineers are equipped to recognize all the abstract constraints they face in the design oftheir processes and products.Frameworks like Engineering for One Planet help offset the simple unfathomability ofchallenges on time scales incomprehensible to engineers and their stakeholders today.

While the institutionsused in this study share common matriculation practices, all institutions of the same type are notnecessarily identical to each other. For example, some institutions offer majors not availableelsewhere and some may have enrollment criteria for specific engineering majors that exceed therequirements for engineering at large.AcknowledgementThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) underGrant No. 1545667.

In the area ofanalyzing feedback surveys, Dhanalakshmi et al. [16] used a supervising learning approach topredict the polarity of student responses (a common framing of a sentiment analysis task). Ofcourse, these models also have several potential limitations such as inadvertently introducingbias and reflecting unintentional differences across groups [17], [18].In engineering education, there have been limited applications of NLP on either the research orteaching side. The more modern applications have applied standard statistical and machinelearning
to have high totals when the impacts weresummed. The authors’ reasoning of these hypotheses comes from observations seen in actualstudent teams within the IBL class. Teams in which students have similar end goals and worktogether on their projects often progress further in their learning and achieve project outcomeswith high impact. Teams that lacked innovative goals and did not work well together often hadlearning outcomes with low impact. As shown in Table 1, there is a moderate correlationbetween the team’s innovative impact and the team’s progress across all group sizes. Theseresults reflect the author’s hypotheses, suggesting that multiple students on the team need to havesimilar innovative impact inputs to reach higher progression

Students were asked to analyze the given circuit to identify thepossible reason(s) why the output waveform was distorted (the lower half was cut-off).Since the modality, the student population, and the challenge questions were different in the Fall2019 and Spring 2020 semesters due to the ongoing pandemic, a direct comparison of theassessment results cannot be made. However, assessment results for both modes reflect somecommon areas of improvement and provides a qualitative understanding of the student skilllevels in this course.

is seen either via the lens of structural componentpresence/absence or via their thought process (content, discursiveness and reflectivity). Thisleads to the observation that students focus on articulating the claim rather than justification ofthe claim. Seah and Magana (2019) note that student arguments were not supported by sufficientor quality evidence to justify their design choices in Information Technology.IMPLICATIONSThese findings have implications for future research, for the development of instructionalmaterials for engineering classrooms, and for undergraduate engineering degree programs. Asengineering educators and researchers begin to explore this topic, they have many lessons tolearn from the extant research in science and math
