together. You can see everyone working, and it's all there, all of the writing …, you have a lot more freeform than if you're typing on text on something like OneNote… you can see the different ways everyone works through the problem.” “… I felt like everyone kind of contributed in their own way. And anytime you kind of like make a small error it's really easy to see what other students are doing too, and it's easy to correct your errors being able to see what your peers are doing. So it makes sense.” “I'd also say [groupwork] was helpful. I guess, getting to know more students. Because otherwise you're just sitting in the lecture and not really talking to each other. So it was a good way for us to

dividesthe project into three phases: design, development, and integration. Each phase has an oralexamination at the end. The course also requires the students to write a proposal, progress, andfinal report with their respective oral presentations. During the first two oral examinations, thecourse faculty question students about their project schedule and task progress before separatingand questioning them about their design choices and their module implementations. Student teamsmust then demonstrate their fully functional and tested prototype for the third oral examination. Capstone project teams and their projects demonstrate the principles of ComplexityTheory. Student teams have the autonomy to choose their team members, project, client

at theirmeasurement data and noticed that all these students measured the feedback loop many timescompared to their peers. For example, student 11’s final six measurements were clicking back andforth between the two breadboard rows on either side of the loose feedback wire. This makes sense,since from the picture presented, the circuit is wired correctly, and the voltage difference betweenthese points is surprising. Many feedback measurements strongly indicate that the student noticedsomething was wrong in this region, but it is not sufficient to indicate that they understood the rootcause of the issue: 5 students measured the feedback loop at least 4 times without writing thecorrect cause in the follow-up questions. Since students are so

advantage of using clickers in the classroom over otherinstant feedback methods is the level of anonymity that it provides to the students in answering thequestions [1, 6, 7]. This anonymity can be very helpful in lecture/discussion type classes seen injunior level engineering courses that typically have smaller class sizes. Students in these smallerclasses are more likely to be influenced by their peers when answering questions through traditionalmethods, such as polling by hand raising [9,10], and may not answer truthfully. This can affect theinstructors perception on the class’s understanding of the material, and could lead to some studentsinternalizing misconceptions that would not be corrected. Here, iClickers (an instant feedback

exciting way to introduce school students to different STEM fields, sincethe students will be exposed to engineering, sciences as well as computer programming.Increasingly, engineering schools embed mentoring opportunities for undergraduate studentsthrough robotics club activities [2,3]. Some schools provide service learning credit for coursesin robotics [4] in their curriculum. When mentoring middle/high school children, it is essentialto communicate the fundamental concepts in simple, easy to understand and for-fun ways.Studies indicate that a practice of journal writing about the mentoring activity [5] and usingreflection leads to improved mentoring. This can improve among mentors the ability tocommunicate complex engineering topics to lay and

using a computer andcommunication infrastructure. Remote labs offer students a convenient opportunity to accessequipment 24 hours a day, seven days a week without geographic proximity restrictions. Thisapproach also promotes collaborations among peers and offers improved accessibility to studentswith disabilities [7]. Unlimited access to resources in the remote laboratory context could havefar reaching consequences for education and can present a paradigm that promotes student-centric environments and autonomy that contributes to motivation [8]. The benefit of remote 2experimentation is not limited to higher education but can extend to industry

. Essentially, as acommunication platform itself, Zoom allows us to be “hands-on” with these topics. Wedeveloped such interactive exercises on topics including multi-level signaling, MIMO, mediumaccess control and network routing.In this paper, we will describe our experiences with implementing a set of such remotely-taughtlessons on wireless communication and networking offered to high school students. Thesecombine write-ups and interactive Zoom sessions that leverage Zoom features to engage studentsand have them experiment with the lesson concepts. Even after schools return to in-personlearning, these sessions could serve as the basis for remote summer camps or after-schoolprograms that could introduce communications concepts to high school students

: Figure 5 shows that students who received an A used resubmissionless often than their peers (averaged 0.89 resubmissions per assignment), with those receiving a Chaving the largest number of resubmissions (averaging 1.27 resubmissions). The students whoreceived Fs had very few resubmissions, but they also had very few initial submissions. Thesample size is not high enough to gain deeper statistical insight; however, from the facultyobservation, resubmissions for those students who received an A were typically simple fixeswhile the resubmissions for the students who received a C were often much more involved,requiring more work on both the part of the instructor and student. This feedback-resubmissioncycle often resulted in feedback being
