successful training and consistent participation of theconstruction workforce to minimize accidents on jobsites. While traditional safety training hasfeatured classroom lectures and quick toolbox talks, the emerging technology of AugmentedReality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) has recently been utilized by several different groups to attemptto improve construction safety training programs. This paper is presenting the current state of awork-in-progress project to investigate both the acceptance and efficacy of existing AR/VRconstruction safety programs and develop an improved AR/VR construction safety game. Thecurrent stage is the baseline measurement of efficacy using traditional classroom lectures as wellas early planning/creation of the improved AR/VR
Orange County’s Medical Innovation Instituteon August 3rd, 2020, two months prior to the first day of fall instruction. Our full-day virtualevent tackled current pediatric healthcare topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic, such asmentioned below. The 12-hour event began with an introductory lecture regarding the BioDesignprocess [10], then grouped students and healthcare workers into multidisciplinary teams based ontheir healthcare topic of interest. The teams then identified the problem, generated a solution, andgenerated a business and engineering plan to execute their solution. Teams were categorized intofive topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic: school reintegration, pediatric mental health,telemedicine/remote care, ensuring families
will remain a mainstay after their acceleratedadoption during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have undertaken a why-what-how approach tocall for needs-driven innovation in education, like why there is a need for change (the need),what is the recommendation (the solution) and how those could be implemented (the plan). Weintroduce a strategic framework for how engineering institutions, faculty, and students must startconsidering their options, experimenting with alternatives, and start planning now. A shift in themindset, leverage digital technologies, and change in the structure are taken as the central ideasleading to solutions to the identified problems themselves and affecting the long-term goals ofaccessible access to affordable, relevant, and
. According to the U.S. Bureau Labor Statistics (2017), that nationalaverage of STEM related occupations was $87,500 which is nearly double the average nationalwage of non-STEM occupations. The national commitment to promoting STEM excellence isevidenced by the State-Federal STEM Education Summit that was hosted last summer. The STEMEducation Summit convened a wide range of STEM leaders from all 50 states, five territories, andseveral tribes. The goal of the summit was to outline and develop a national STEM education planthat “will to help inform the development of the upcoming Federal 5-Year STEM EducationStrategic Plan” (p.3). To help support the initiative to enhance STEM education, the prioritizationof improving STEM education U.S. Department of

Fall 2020 was intended to be the first treatment cohort.Although many of the original research and intervention plans were disrupted by COVID-19,project personnel instead invested resources into facilitating and improving (primarily) remoteinstruction. The same survey and assessment instruments were still deployed in Fall 2020,offering a unique opportunity to study student
’ Interest in Transportation EngineeringAbstractThe National Summer Transportation Institute (NSTI) was a week-long summer residentialprogram supported by the Federal Highway Administration, the state’s Department ofTransportation, and a college of engineering in a large university. The program engagedparticipants in transportation engineering topics with opportunities to interact with engineerswho plan and maintain transportation systems. 125 students entering grades 10-12 spent oneweek living at the university campus. Students participated in tours of transportation-related sitesnot normally accessible to the public including traffic management centers, airports, and activeconstruction sites. Students also engaged with faculty and toured campus
summer camp time can be in the middle of summer and may disruptthe summer schedule for the whole family. In addition, in the summer, faculty and high-school teachers have their own summer agenda. All of this needs to be discussed andprepared to find the best time for summer camp.ScheduleThe schedule of the summer camp should be planned carefully, especially in the case ofvirtual education. The aim is to keep the student focused on his activities, to make thepresentation clear and complete enough to make it clear and adaptable for all students.Type of studentsOur goal in this summer camp is to focus on minorities and women, as well as low-incomefamilies. At the moment, we are focusing on high school. The involvement of middle schoolstudents was
, establish goals, plan tasks,and meet objectives.A question pertinent to any engineering educator is, “Where, when and how do we satisfy thisoutcome?” As an example of this, Sangelkar et al [2] surveyed faculty in their mechanicalengineering program to identify teaming experiences throughout their curriculum. They found anumber of courses with collaborative learning experiences, projects staffed by multiple students,and some degree of instruction in teaming, but conclude that the teaming experience in acurriculum can contain significant gaps.One of the challenges of teamworking is finding the time to provide instructor guidance withinthe scheduled classroom time. Some of the key issues to be addressed in teaming instruction arenoted in [3] and [4

In addition, partner discipline facultyhave implemented materials in their own courses and conversations have progressed about moreextensive collaborations to be implemented in the partner discipline courses.At Humboldt State University, a new consortium member, plans are in place to use materialsfrom Augsburg University in three sections of Calculus I, one section of Trigonometry, andpossibly three sections of Biocalculus. Findings from their fishbowl activity, where they receivedinput from Environmental Resources, Engineering, and Physics colleagues, are informing thechanges planned for the Trigonometry and Calculus courses.At LaGuardia Community College
6 learningoutcomes and good gains in 8 learning outcomes (see Table 1).Unsurprisingly, student learning during the pandemic was measurably lower than pre-pandemic.Five learning outcomes were significantly lower for the students enrolled in 2020 than for thoseenrolled in 2019: how ideas from this class relate to other classes; drawing appropriate FBDs forgiven systems; interest in taking or planning to take additional engineering classes; confidencethat you can do statics work; and comfort level in working with complex ideas (see Table 2).To further assess the extent to which these significant differences can be attributed to differencesbetween the two courses, we modeled each learning outcome.

simulation inaccuracies that might produce unrealistic results.The third step is abstract conceptualization, where a new idea or modification to the conceptslearned in the experience is determined [10]. Based on areas that were in need of improvement inthe model, the student would investigate how to make the model more accurate or realistic.When these improvements were implemented, the fourth part of the cycle, activeexperimentation, was engaged. Ideas for improvement from the abstract conceptualization wereimplemented into the model, and thus a new simulation was created [10]. After developing animprovement plan, the student was able to implement changes to the model and conduct a newset of simulation tests to determine if the model results made

Although that is a commendable starting point, we also need to gainsolid grounding in literature related to critical race theory, developing White racial literacy, socialjustice in engineering education, liberative pedagogy, and culturally-responsive teaching andmentoring. While we have developed a basic foundation in these theories and frameworks, we willcomplete a more extensive literature review starting in summer 2021, which will guide our futurework. In parallel to a literature review, we will run four focus groups with students who completedthe social justice modules in both design classes to gain an understanding of their identities andinterests. We plan to refine our modules and implement them

USA to avoid perpetuating stereotypes.Summary and Next StepsWe successfully developed two modules on solar energy in South Sudan: one as an introductionand one including more advanced topics. These modules were reviewed by a solar energytechnician and a student at the University of San Diego. The feedback from these reviews wasused to improve the modules. These modules were the major deliverables for an independentstudy, which served as an EE elective to satisfy BS degree requirements for the student.The next phase of the study and documentation will include testing these modules withengineering students at the University of San Diego and other students at a university in SouthSudan and incorporating their feedback. The instructor plans to
faculty in transitioning online in August 2020. A number of the faculty who participated in our series noted that they appreciated having more planning time and feeling more comfortable close to the start of classes by having their course planned out over the summer. In response, the Leonhard Center is considering ways to continue providing summer initiatives.Moving Forward from Summer 2020In Fall 2020, we continued to build on what we learned from our experiences with these workshops. Wehosted a student panel to help faculty better understand the student COVID experience. We also hosted a“Great Ideas for Teaching (GIFTS) from Fall 2020” workshop in December 2020 to debrief from the Fallsemester and help faculty come together
in measuring triggered interest. ENGR 111 courseadministrators are currently in the process of developing these triggered interest measures,targeting select engagement features of the ENGR 111 experience. Once an appropriatetriggered interest measure is established, experimental plans are underway for studying how tobolster triggered interest by systematically modifying select features of the ENGR 111experience. Additionally, another research objective will include studying how triggered interestevolves into lasting maintained interest.Although triggered interest is expected to improve first-year engineering student retention, thisretention can be short-lived if the environment does not continue to support student interest,while the longer
inhumanistic purposes.Ill-Defined and Open-Ended Nature of DesignThe nature of a final design outcome cannot be known at the onset of a design endeavor [4]. Thatis because “The subject matter of design is radically indeterminate, open to alternativeresolutions even with the same methodology” ([5], p. 24). Necessarily, design does not have an“enumerable (or an exhaustively describable) set of potential solutions…” ([6], p. 140).Likewise, design does not have “a well-described set of permissible operations” that designerscan employ to achieve a desired end ([6], p. 140). That is because design is open-ended. In otherwords, “…the subject matter of design is not given. It is created through the activities ofinvention and planning, or through whatever

They explore to visually represent the physical clashes between the components through 3D models. They also explore the usefulness of 3D models for coordination to resolve constructability problems.10 Object Students learn to depict the challenges in a small residential Animation construction site logistics plan through the 3D model.These activities
the versatility of the MMTK, we believe that it haspotential for future, post-pandemic use.Based on the students’ feedback, there were concerns centered around the amount of timerequired to complete the activities and with this time not being proportionally reflected in thegrade within this course. Future use of the MMTK modules will incorporate this valuablefeedback.Ongoing work is planned to compare the effectiveness of the MMTK with previous hands-onactivities conducted in the student workshop. Once the pandemic is over and the universityreturns to in-person instruction a study can be conducted to compare learning outcomes betweenstudents who completed in-person hands-on activities and students who worked on the MMTKmodules.Furthermore

These modules already had lab manuals that provided background information,experimental procedures, and grading expectations. Data for these experiments was availablefrom past course offerings, and the

This 7-minute time constraintwas decided upon originally to align with the desires of GenZ students for short bursts ofviewing, but also fit well into the 12-minute restriction which is required under softwarelicensing terms. It was discovered early in our pilot that a strict adherence to the 7-minutelimitation was too restrictive for many of the planned videos and would require the instructor toeither reduce the included material or to artificially separate the footage into two videos. Neitherof these points were considered sufficient to maintain the original, relatively arbitrary 7-minuteframework and we modified the concept to allow for single-topic review videos which weresimply as short as possible to cover the
