It is important to highlight that only putting course content on the web,without using appropriate pedagogical models and principles, without appropriate means ofcommunication between participants and instructors and without the use of modern informationtechnologies to present the learning content, is not enough to fulfill educational goals [1].There are many educators that have already tried diverse ways to provide remote or virtualengineering labs [2].

For this study,we did not include these majors, but their existence affirms our motivation to establish a baselineof computational skills and concepts in first year programs, as more of these types of majorscome into engineering. Findings and DiscussionExtracting concepts from course descriptionsCourse descriptions are limited by nature in what they can tell us and some were written in adifferent style than others (e.g. talking about experiences versus listing topics).

In this newapproach to the lower-division courses students will start system view courses and currentprototyping circuits and tools were used to set up the laboratory experiments. The goals of thisstudy were: a) Integration of courses and providing a system view in the lower-division courses. b) Improving retention and engagement in early years of study. c) Closing the gap between lower-division and upper-division courses by practicing system view projects using

expectationsthat engineering audiences have for documents—expectations for titles, summaries,introductions, sections, appendices, illustrations, and equations. Until students learn theprinciples of engineering writing, a significant gap exists between what those students haveexperienced in general writing courses and what those students are expected to produce inreports for design courses, laboratory courses, and internships. Engineering colleges are responding to this gap. For instance, at the University ofMichigan [4], the College of Engineering has dropped first-year English from their curricula infavor of increasing the number of credits allotted to first-year design. Now having four credits,this first-year design course has both a design

, the objectivesremained the same. However, because the second-year students had previous introduction totopics including AutoCAD, Excel, and ArcGIS in their first year, there was a concern that thefirst-year students would not be able to grasp the course content as easily as the second-yearstudents. To compensate for this, the Fundamentals course was expanded from 3-credits to 4-credits with an additional 75 minutes (1 hr 15 min) per week of in-class time for a total of 315minutes (5 hr 15 min). When offered in the first-year, three weekly class meetings were 50minutes each and offered on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule with the remaining 165minutes (2 hr 45 min) reserved for a weekly laboratory session.Additional content that exposes

Possible advantages from online education include the ability toaccess material and notes at the student’s own pace at any time, which in turn, may help studentsto grasp concepts more efficiently. Moreover, the information and content of courses is startingto become widely available among multiple institutions [3]. However, many challenges existrelated to the execution and delivery of online classes.

They tend to be patient with detailed information, doing hands-on laboratory work, and good at memorizing facts. They are practical and careful. They don’t like being tested on material that has not been explicitly covered in class. They don’t like to receive content that is not connected to the real world. • Intuitive learners prefer discovering relationships and possibilities. They dislike repetition and like innovation. They are good at grasping new concepts and comfortable with mathematical formulations and abstractions. They tend to work fast and are innovative

The new solution had to replicate this process as closely as possible. • Easy to disseminate: The instructional team responsible for the course were already transitioning courses and laboratories online, along with dealing with the inherent work overhead of an online course. The solution could not require an instructor to create duplicate documents, copy and paste code for multiple teams, or other work-intensive operations. • Self-checking: In the in-person implementation, the instructional team (one faculty member and multiple undergraduate teaching assistants) would rotate around the classroom

Having access to resources made them feelcompetent and confident in themselves in the present and in their future. Often studentsconflated competence with confidence, which we plan to discuss in a separate study, but ingeneral, students felt like competent learners. Therefore, they felt confident they can becomeengineers in the long run. Access to resources made sense as contributing factors to students’competence

It has been used in several past experiments related to intrinsic motivation and self- 4 regulation [41-43]. The instrument assesses participants’ relatedness (Q1 — Q8), perceived 5 competence (Q9 — Q11), and interest or enjoyment (Q12) while performing a given activity, 6 thus yielding three subscale scores. The relatedness subscale covers interpersonal interactions as 7 well as friendship formation. Figure 4 shows the procedure for calculating a relatedness score 8 for each lab mode. Figure 4.
