Moredetails about the rubric and the grading scheme are described in [8,9].Locating, classifying and correcting errors on exams can be a very important part of the learningprocess. This is referred to as reflection by cognitive scientists [2], and we prefer that studentsrather than graders glean this benefit. We hope that this process leads to higher accuracy andgrades in the future, all while developing an engineering mindset for checking work and locatingmistakes.Early and Frequent Assessment. In this new course design the timing and frequency ofassessment is important. It is recommended that students get two or three early assessmentsduring the first five weeks of the semester.

Blog entries aswell as and question/answer forums can clarify points of confusion from in-class conversations.Students have more time to reflect and answer questions posed online than in the classroom.Perhaps most importantly, blended learning requires students to work more on their own for theonline portion of the class. This active learning has been shown to yield greater test performanceand subject mastery [4, pp. 22-23]. Flipped classrooms are a subset of blended learning, but the rapid increase in theirpopularity make them worthy of examination. The underlying idea for a flipped classroom is thatteachers assign students to

Although post-survey results for the ETSC 277 course shows a dropin confidence, as students performed our inquiry-based engineering lesson, we view this as arecalibration of their personal reality as they were ultimately able to make positive learning gainstoward our robotics lesson. This was reflected in learning assessments throughout the quarter. Infact, student frustration with inquiry-based lab curricula is well documented in science education,where lab students valued more authentic scientific exposure. In general, experiencing thecomplexity and frustrations faced by practicing scientists is challenging and may explain thewidespread

for Engineering Education, 2021Seeing the invisible: The year this white woman spent learning at an HSIIntroductionI have spent over 40 years in engineering. When I first attended the university to learnengineering, I was full of the messages of the 1970’s: Women can do anything men can do(better), I can have it all, the doors to access professional success are wide open. However, littledid I know that while this may be true, the cost to anyone not a tall white male from a privilegedbackground was great. It took me years to interpret what I experienced through the lens of thewhite patriarchy, but for the last 20 years, I have studied and reflected on how we in Engineeringand Education have participated in the inequities we see all around us

Therefore, in Fall 2020 semester (still affected by covid), it wasdecided to deliver the course over a single platform, viz, blackboard. As such, zoom links forlectures, office hours and exams were posted on blackboard, all lecture notes, recordings, HWs,labs, project and exams were delivered through blackboard. Labs were moved to a platform thatwas free (PSPICE) to students and could be installed on their laptops. So, problems encountereddue to remote log in were not there.
