mechanicsstudents that include four phases (see, feel, practice, and apply) for better understanding [5]. The“see” and “feel the concept” is achieved by a traditional lecture followed by a hands-on physicallaboratory session. Assigned homework and problem-solving sessions facilitate the “practice”phase; while a team design project ensures the “apply” phase of the program. The approachcreates a collaborative learning environment that showed improvement in student understanding.Avitabile suggested that experimental problem solving improves student understanding [6],[7].

Teams in both parts are created using gruepr, an open-sourcesoftware tool designed to define an optimal project team [2-3], where considerations are made toaccount for time zone (when remote learning) and/or schedule (for in-person instruction) and toavoid placement of a single female on a team where possible.Lecture teams are formed during the first session of class, and pre-S2020 were often adjournedafter the first project (duration 3 weeks), rotating teams every 3 weeks as projects change.Beginning in Fall 2020 teams stayed together for all projects, as online learning continued

The project wasdivided into four milestones and each team was required to submit a team retrospective detailingoverall planning, task allocation, group processes, and strategies for improvement. The first twomilestones were completed during face-to-face instruction, while teams met online for the lasttwo milestones due to the shift to online instruction.

As she explained in considerable detail: So each one [professional engineer] is a different person, and they have their own personal preferences of, “This should be engineered this way, I would like you to do it this way.” It’s their license, so we do it their way. But if you were to talk to the other professional engineer, just in the other office, they might have a different opinion on it. So, it’s like, “Which one’s the right one?” Knowing what’s best is hard, especially in an area that can have so many variables. Because

Our first objective was to findmore agile and sustainable processes to develop and continuously improve engineeringcurriculum. The second objective was to improve our pedagogical methods to make theclassroom learning experience more engaging [1]. The third objective was to develop a newlearning experience for our students that produced measurably better learning outcomes.An essential idiom that emerged from student, faculty, industry, and professional surveys was thewidespread use of agile methodologies. Since these methods are part of the curriculum we

In the face of the global pandemic,professional development opportunities for educators and informal learning experiences forstudents demanded new adjustments to content delivery unseen before. We discuss ourleadership team’s adjustments to online content delivery and school educator’s efforts to createand sustain a virtual STEM club through reflexive practices. Specifically, we transitioned a10-day, in-person professional development during the summer to a 5-day, blended professionaldevelopment, where asynchronous and synchronous activities were led by CISTEME365 staff.Additionally, we adjusted
objectives that are unique and personalizedwhile also contributing to their team’s innovation project. With such diversity of student work,applying a single grading rubric is impractical. Another problem occurs in evaluating theinnovation itself. How can instructors consistently rank the novelty and value of such diversestudent work? To tackle these problems, a grading scheme that involves multiple expertassessments of both the value and the impact of a student’s innovation needed to be developed.This work presents and describes the development of the Innovative Impact Scale and how it hasbeen integrated alongside Webb’s Depth of Knowledge levels as metrics to assess the innovativelearning outcomes of students enrolled in an IBL course.

The complex nature of the maritimeenvironment means that beyond the typical research into existing solutions, the students must doadditional research to find out the constraints for their projects. For example, the waterfrontcleaning robot in 2018-2019 needed to filter out garbage of the correct size based on whatcommon garbage is found in the water. At the same time, it needed to be powerful enough tomove the filtration system to overcome local
