alsoreceives students who are unable to complete at a 4-year school due to relocation and job-relatedissues. Placing all upper division courses online has also aided our traditional on campusstudents by giving students the opportunity to take a course while at co-ops and internships.Survey feedback from face to face and online students indicates no major issues with theeducational experience. Outcome assessment data and student course evaluations indicates asimilar level of performance between online and face to face students. Student placement datadoes not indicate problems with the online program.1. introductionThe pathway to an engineering degree may be blocked for some students due to location andtime of day restrictions. Online degree options can

IntroductionThe entrepreneurial mindset is defined as the “inclination to discover, evaluate, and exploitopportunities” [1]. Developing the entrepreneurial mindset is not only important for individualswanting to start their own businesses, but also for those wanting to add value creatively to thecompany they work for, or their personal life. Moreover, the entrepreneurial mindset is critical insolving complex social issues. Within higher education, educators across

COVID-19 are estimated at 21 trilliondollars in 2020 alone, which is nearly equal to the annual U.S. GDP in 2019 [1]. The COVID-19pandemic also impacted social aspects of daily lives including educational, political, andreligious activities [2]. Specifically, in university classrooms, the COVID-19 pandemic restrictedtraditional face-to-face delivery of educational content. Such restrictions have enforced highereducation institutions (e.g., colleges and universities) to seek alternative ways to deliver thecourse contents while maintaining their quality. Many institutions in the U.S. opted for offeringvirtual classes using internet-based platforms.However, such rapid transformation into virtual education precipitated by the pandemic has yetto be

specifiedcontext of use [1]. The field of usability is known under names like Computer-HumanInteraction (CHI) or Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) [2], and User Experience. Usability isalso an area of knowledge that is interconnected with other concepts like Human FactorsEngineering, Ergonomics, and Design Thinking. While some references use terms like HumanFactors Engineering, Ergonomics, Usability Engineering (UE), or Human-Computer Interactioninterchangeably [3], each of these concepts can be defined independently. Human FactorsEngineering is a discipline that is not only useful for reducing errors and injuries but also aims toenhance and provide evidence-based practice for usability [4].

theoretical basics. Whenstudents have mastered the theory, then they can understand the inputs and outputs of thesoftware and interpret these results.BackgroundThe inclusion of software in education is an important research topic because many coursesrequire the use of integrated learning tools, such as calculators or programs, to compliment thetheory taught [1]. Our literature review is mostly based in research studies that integratedgraphing calculators into classroom environments and then noted the impact on students sincecalculators have been used for a long time. However, research on advanced software tools is lessrobust.Most of the literature focused on the use of graphing calculators rather than software and thepotential dependence on

of abilities required to succeed professionally in theinformation age. The top four of these skills include critical thinking, creative thinking,collaboration, and communication [1]. In a typical engineering education curriculum, criticalthinking is addressed effectively. Also, students develop their collaboration skills via project-basedcourses that have become increasingly widespread in engineering education in the last twodecades. Furthermore, communication skills are often addressed through the inclusion of atechnical communication course or by otherwise satisfying the communication component ofestablished general education requirements. Laboratory experiences and project-based coursesemphasize the development of technical communication

Engineering Education, 2021 Understanding eLearning Acceptance of Generation Z Students: An Extension of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)Abstract:The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted instructional practices at educational institutions.Countermeasures included transitioning the majority of classes from primarily in-class learningto primarily eLearning. This shift has been met with varied levels of resistance and acceptance,while one study showed that 85% of higher education students prefer in-class learning [1].Models developed years ago don’t account for the dynamic nature of the education world and thestudents within it. As a result, there is demand for an understanding of the unique set of needspresented by Generation Z, the

course is generally more participatory inclass and motivated to invest the time and energy to do well on assignments and assessments.Additionally, effective learning and retention of fundamental concepts is essential to developingthe depth of knowledge required when critically applying the material beyond the classroom [1].Enabling effective learning in the classroom is not a simple task. Many factors must beconsidered when developing an approach, such as the student population being taught. In a singleclassroom, each student is unique in how they receive and process information based on factorssuch as preferred learning style, personal experience, competence in fundamental concepts, andindividual motivation [1]. Such considerations necessitate

determine if changes in the course affected the studentexperience.1 IntroductionLike many of their peers in other engineering disciplines and at other universities, IndustrialEngineering students at the University of Pittsburgh culminate their undergraduate experiencewith a Capstone Design Course (IE1090). The course provides students with a hands-on learningexperience in a relatively unstructured environment as they prepare to enter the workforce aspracticing engineers. Course outcomes and curriculum align with Criterion 3 and Criterion 5 ofthe ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs [1]. Students enrolled in the class,which is traditionally offered each Spring and Fall term, are matched in teams consisting of 4-6students and tasked
