Students' learning performancecurve alleviates while using the project-based learning (PBL) technique, as they experience the process inreal-time [7], [8]. They apply their theoretical knowledge acquired in class within the defined context. Anengineering technology level-4 course named "Ergonomics and Process Optimization" had been instructedfollowing the PBL technique in Fall 2019. A total of 18 students were divided into nine groups assigneda real industrial problem and

This paper addresses the first steps for the following research questions:• Does a design systems thinking approach create a responsive model for a community-driven faculty development program? Does this model adapt to community needs and individual faculty career needs?• Will a design systems thinking approach support the community development of a sustainable model for faculty development that thrives outside of the funding organization?This project is ongoing

The students had many comments related to course content including project work inthe Spring 2020 semester (28 students), online tests and exams (27 students), lab issues (23students) and PowerPoint use and issues (13 students). Also, approximately one-third of thestudents responded that their instructors did not respond to emails from students.

]. Theinitiatives we are presenting here follow a similar focus on the visual arts, but in no way doesthis mean that we advocate for the visual arts to be the primary area of integration nor the onebetter suited for initial attempts in the curricula and campus life. Rather, we recognize thatfunding critically limits this kind of interdisciplinary efforts and that each institution’s optionsare therefore different. In our case, we are fortunate to be able to work with the university’s ownarts museum, which is at the heart of our STEAM project. In other words, there is no prescribedset of activities, content and resources that can guarantee a successful growth of STEAM. Whatwe offer are a set of options that hopefully will inspire other initiatives
Wall Street Journal to Provide National and Global Perspectives in an Engineering Economy CourseAbstractObjectives: Engineering economy courses typically follow a format that includes themathematics of time value of money, project analysis using methods such as NPV and IRR, andsome tax and depreciation coverage. These topics provide students with a good background toeconomically analyze projects, but they do not provide a big picture perspective of howengineers interact with the world at large and how engineers are involved in economicundertakings that span the globe. This paper will describe how the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) isused throughout an undergraduate engineering economics course to provide students a world-wide

This isthe most crucial element of the degree program within our discipline, as it gives students anopportunity to work on an extensive piece of work within the areas of Electronic Engineering andComputer Science. The project also allows students to demonstrate their problem-solving abilitiesby being able to apply a range of skills that they have acquired throughout their degree program.Overview of Teaching and Learning Changes Implemented • Preparation (Outside of Class) - Interactive Videos: As the co-ordinator for undergraduate projects
