c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Leader Development Model (LDM) through Self and Peer Assessment across the CurriculumAbstractLeadership development and assessment impact the engineering program curriculum at TheCitadel, resulting in embedded indicators and teamed learning activities mapped across all fouryears of the undergraduate curriculum. The institution-specific leadership model developed atThe Citadel prepares students for leadership through teamed challenges and projects, positioningthe engineering program to provide robust learning experiences for students.Reinforced in multiple senior-level capstone design courses and a sophomore-level, engineering-specific communications course
the University of Virginia (UVA), a hybrid model was adopted. Students were giventhe option to take the class 100% remotely, or they could attend lab in person every other week.During the second week of the semester, entire sections met online for team forming. Thoughsome attempt was made to group in-person students in the same team, several teams had a mixof in-person and remote students. The curriculum was redesigned into two-week blocks. Duringthe ‘on’ week, students collected data from an experiment they performed in person or watchedvirtually. During the ‘off’ week, they worked in teams on various activities including report peerreview workshops, a team project, and post-processing of the previous week’s experiments. Thispaper will
students, especially students inunderrepresented minority groups who are likely to feel left out and not included in classroomactivities and group projects. The feeling of alienation could result in students developingdropout intention for an engineering/computer science degree.Research experiences are an excellent tool to promote and foster engagement among engineeringand computer science students. They provide an avenue to collaborate with faculty and build aclose relationship with their teachers or professors. Choosing to engage in research activities isconsidered a voluntary activity and conducting research gives a student the avenue or platform toexplore his / her ideas on inventions or discoveries to make a significant contribution to

respond positively and productively to circumstances of volatility,uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity [3]. It is often espoused as an essential skill byengineering employers [4] but generally not reified or taught within undergraduate engineeringeducation.Current approaches to fostering adaptability in engineering emphasize experiential learningopportunities such as team-based projects, co-op/internships, and undergraduate research.However, these activities seldom provide formal adaptability training, and whether they nurtureor merely test adaptability is unclear. This project calls for adaptability to be explicitly taughtand assessed, much like other professional skills such as communication and ethics that havebeen added to ABET criteria [5

Almost 150REU Site Programs are currently funded in Engineering.Most REU Sites are based at a single institution. This traditional model for REU Sites typicallyinvolves 8-12 participants per summer, housed in close proximity on campus, engaged inresearch projects united by a common theme.

Computer occupations play a critical role in STEM.The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projected that about 600,000 or 67% of all new jobs inSTEM between 2018 and 2028 would be in computing. Average annual openings in computeroccupations during the decade were projected to be about 450,000 [2]. Although the number ofstudents who graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer and information sciences in 2016was more than 70,000

Teaching in covid-19 disrupted semester Anu Aggarwal Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign1. AbstractCovid – 19 has radically changed how group activities are carried out across the world especiallyin countries with higher incidence of the disease, like the US. An activity of concern to theeducators is face-to-face teaching in classroom, in-lab work, in-person office hours, in-classexams and group-based project activities. The Covid-19 epidemic required most educators tomove all these activities online.Given that the flipped and online classes are a common practice in this era of internettechnology, there was no

Students create their own custom Linux image for the laboratory development system,learn how-to configure system services, and build device drivers to interface with sensorhardware. Once students have a functioning system, they learn about common IoT networkprotocols, such as MQTT, WebSockets, and HTTP, looking at both the on-the-wire packet formatsand how to build applications using these protocols. By the end of the course, they will have builta working IoT Edge Device from end-to-end.Laboratory StationsThe laboratory was

UAV education [Sadraey2020]. Sadraey outlines techniques and challenges he discovered while presenting constructiontechniques of UAVs in a traditional classroom setting. Here he states that, “The root cause forthe lack of convergence between UAV education and practical application is the absence ofexperiential learning. The UAV experience requires students to develop skills such as … in datareduction, analysis, communication, and teamwork.”This paper presents the first phase of our experience with a two-phase project addressing theteaching, implementation, and assessment of online active learning modules in undergraduateintroduction to engineering and physics courses designed to engross students in the process ofadvanced manufacturing

Again, the students did not print their own designs.The course was run in this format for two semesters. Feedback was gathered from the studentsvia informal surveys and Student Ratings of Teaching Effectiveness (SRTEs). The course washighly anticipated by the ME students. Two sections were offered in both the Fall 2016 andSpring 2017 semesters; and both sections filled quickly with students requesting additional seatsin the course. Student feedback was mixed.
