Traditionally, faculty conduct their research without engaging staff and administrationas peers with an equal stake in the outcome of their investigations. A recent NSF funded project,spanning three very different institutions (Purdue University, University of Texas El Paso, CalPoly San Luis Obispo) took a different approach. Their strategic plan included identifying andenlisting the active participation of Student Affairs personnel in their project’s implementationand data collection. Over the past three years, the PIs have been collecting deep student data,developing educational interventions and disseminating their research findings throughtraditional academic venues.Explicitly

Engineering education is not immune to thesenew dynamics, and institutions need to plan and prepare to embrace new modalities of instruction.Historically, electrical engineering courses have had lab requirements that have involved physicalpresence in a laboratory with several pieces of test equipment available for testing circuits. Inrecent years, computer-based laboratory equipment has become available that can provide thesame robustness needed to facilitate learning for online electrical engineering courses. A pilotstudy was conducted at our institution using a home-based laboratory for two electrical engineeringcourses (Microcontrollers and Electric Circuit Analysis).

In addition, the average number of new enrollments in undergraduate EEprograms is flat or increased slowly nationwide, while the same number for the other programsincreased [1]. On the other hand, many of the EE employers are looking only for highly skilledworkers or the students with a graduate degree. Getting graduate degree will result in more yearsof study to get hired in Electrical Engineering.The previous course plan in the EE program at California State University San Marcos was startingwith math, science, and general study courses.

engaged with this project in comparison to the prospect of amore traditional design report. This agrees with the literature that states that hands-onexperiences improve student engagement. While students also expressed an increase inmotivation, only three of five teams completed the testing portion of the project. We hypothesizethat a lack of executive functioning skills, like task planning and time management, lead to teamsnot building their designs despite the improved motivation. For example, McCord and 14Matusovich state “…we found that feeling a time crunch can cause students to shift from amastery mode to a coping mode of learning” [16]. Completing a design, build, and test projectinvolves mastery-based learning that students might shift

The use ofactive learning techniques increased the level of interactivity in the classes.In future work, we plan to survey more faculty from other departments and other engineeringschools to analyze their experience and share their points on how to teach an effective engineeringclass. Also, in a different study, we plan to investigate active learning effectiveness in online ECEclasses.References[1] K. P. Hardy and B. L.

While this recommendation isillustrated using the linear model depicted in figure 2, a separate consideration comes into placewhen foreign trainers are brought in to facilitate teacher development [35].

Each node also has an internal and external temperature sensor. Ingeneral, each node can be wired to three soil moisture sensors, a rain gauge, and an irrigation on-off switch. Future plans include attaching rain gauge sensors to one or two nodes and irrigationswitches to all of the nodes. Watermark Soil Moisture Sensors are about 3 inches long (Figure 2)and are normally inserted in the ground vertically. The resistance of GMS sensors decreases withwetness.

as valuable in engaging community voices, the literature suggeststhat an effective organizer will not work entirely within one approach or the other, but insteaduse a blend of both to best accommodate the particular context of a project[15]. This blendedapproach becomes the most useful for community organizers, who now have the dexterity toadapt their plan to changing situations. A flexible approach is also beneficial in standardengineering practice because an effective engineer will know how to adapt their approach for thenature of a specific project — an idea that contradicts the tendency for engineers to follow aconsistent framework that can be applied to all projects[16].In addition to a flexible approach, community organizing can

Thus, themes were identified from three questions subsets: Q2&3, Q4,and Q5-7.

If a student mentions that they want to become a medicalprofessional (medical doctor, dentist, etc.), the student is not selected. Third, there are severalother particular cases in which we were not able to accept students. For example, if thestudent’s transfer was delayed from the fall to the spring semester or if they could notparticipate in the ASSETS bootcamp, the students were put on a waitlist.Thus far
