The purpose of Section I, with only one question Q 1.1(referencing Figure 4), was to acquire the necessary information to separate the surveys into the licenseand intern datasets while preserving student anonymity. The purpose of Section II of the survey was tounderstand students’ perspectives and attitudes of the learning process in general as related toclassroom flipping. The purpose of Section III was to understand the students’ perspectivesspecifically in ENGR 383, especially regarding ABET and
prepare anelevator pitch based on the two-semester-long capstone design project as part of a companioncourse called Senior Innovation. The competition starts in class and then moves to extra-curricular rounds for cash prizes. The semi-finals and finals were traditionally held as 3-minutelive pitches made in front of a panel of judges with a follow-up of 2 minutes of question andanswer (Q&A) period. Due to COVID-19, Stevens went entirely online after seven weeks of in-person classes in the Spring semester. While coaching can be online, the elevator pitchcompetition required a new format for the pitch competition.Conducting live-video pitches has the risk that an internet connectivity disruption during thepresentation can scuttle a perfectly

Specifically, the study seeks to determine howthe transition to remote instruction impacted student perceptions of the learning environment asit relates to the development of their professional expertise. Students’ perception on the learningenvironment was measured using the Supportive Learning Environment for ExpertiseDevelopment Questionnaire (SLEED-Q) [1]. The SLEED-Q was administered to students in Fall2018 and Fall 2019 (normal instruction) and compared with responses obtained from Fall 2020(remote instruction). Prior data (2018, 2019) was collected for baseline comparison as part of alarger curricular revision project to examine the impact of

equation is defined as the order of the highest derivative appearing in the equation and ODE can be of any order. A general form of a first-order ODE can be written in the form dy/dt + p(t)y + q(t) + s = 0 where p(t) and q(t) are functions of t. This equation can be rewritten as shown below d/dt(y) +y p(t) = - q(t) - s where s is zero. A classical integrating factor method can be used for solving this linear differential equation of first order. The integrating factor is e∫p dt . Euler Method Graphical methods produce plots of solutions to first order differential equations of the form y’ = f(x,y), where the derivative appears on the left side of the equation. If an initial condition of the form y(x0) = y0 is also specified, then the only solution
,teachers reported that their students returned the equipment in good condition. Second, theexpanded resource library addressing common challenges will provide additional support forstudents who take part in the sensor immersion unit in their classrooms. These resources mayenable them to more successfully and independently tackle difficulties that arise during theirinvestigations. Lastly, developing shared norms around small group communication remainsrelevant no matter the context. Regardless of whether instruction takes place remotely or inperson, student discourse is a critical element of the sensor immersion unit and teachers nowhave a wider variety of tools and skills to promote student-student conversations.References1.

and a project demo. All the project presentation videos were collected and posted before a Zoom meeting of Final Project Q&A session was held. During the synchronous Q&A session, each group was assigned a 10-minute slot to answer questions from the instructors, who had watched the project presentation videos before the Q&A session. The students were also encouraged to create a website for their project, which could be used to strengthen their personal profiles for later use.5) Design and distribute surveys at multiple points of the semester to understand students’ learning conditions, preferred teaching modes, feedback on the course modules, challenges, and learning outcomes to adjust the course content and

Hands-on Effect on MotivationAll nine experiments on motivation reported a positive hands-on effect size ranging from0.19 to 0.90. Using the random effect model, the overall mean effect size was moderate andstatistically significant (d = 0.52, p = 0.05), indicating a positive hands-on effect onmotivation. The heterogeneity statistic was highly significant, Q = 15.76, df = 8, p = 0.05.This result shows that the hands-on learning effect had a significant positive impact onstudent motivation.

– accessing resources that best suited their learning preferences andseeking assistance when needed. A key factor in the success of hybrid/blended delivery, andnow online, is abundant support resources. When students need help, they can choose from:regularly scheduled online office hours with their instructor, by appointment virtual office hours,email and/or text communication with rapid response times, a collaborative online Q&Aplatform, and/or face-to-face tutoring. Learning management system data allows the instructorto identify and connect with at-risk students early in the semester, linking students with thesupport resources they prefer.Lessons LearnedSignificant time and resources were dedicated to the design and development of the

Another key technology includes discussion boards which provide a toolfor students to engage in general and group conversations. Unlike a face-to-faceenvironment where students must be in class to listen and learn, pre-recorded lecturevideo is also a tool in virtual learning and allows students to review lectures anytimeanywhere. The presence of videoconference tools makes it possible for synchronousonline learning as well as group breakout sessions for virtual classroom exercises.
