This assignment asked student teams to provide advice for future onlinestudents on how to succeed in the online learning environment through a survey administeredusing the university learning management system.

Also, students develop their collaboration skills via project-basedcourses that have become increasingly widespread in engineering education in the last twodecades. Furthermore, communication skills are often addressed through the inclusion of atechnical communication course or by otherwise satisfying the communication component ofestablished general education requirements.

And given these possibilities, what are theramifications the engineer must understand if an ethical challenge is presented?RamificationsIn projects that encounter an ethical dilemma, there is seldom a simple choice, yes or no, good,or bad, right or wrong.

These include lack of support andrecognition [2], inadequate advising [3], and feelings of disconnection to peers and faculty [4]–[6]. In addition to these factors linked with negative student outcomes, research has alsoidentified a host of best practices linked to positive student outcomes. Called high-impactpractices, these include learning communities, first-year seminars, writing-intensive courses,problem-based learning, collaborative assignments, and research and service opportunities [7].Specific to engineering, the use of hands-on collaborative design projects

Therefore, the design process generally requires solving problems over arange of variable values to obtain a satisfactory design. An essential part of our approach iseducating our students to question, test, and verify “answers” to all of their problem solutions.Verifying answers is done by developing and implementing test case scenarios to verify theproblem’s validity. Lecture examples and homework problems throughout the course are solvedwith all equations formulated symbolically, and test cases are used to verify the equations.

This project utilized existing survey data of senior engineering students at a U.S.university to investigate this relationship.

In the demonstration, six HRC indents aremade on three different cold rolled Steel test blocks, and imaged using a 9600 dpi scanner. Using FijI, anellipse is fitted to each indent, and its area and perimeter values are recorded. In research, MeyerHardness, defined as Load in Kgf divided by the projected area of indentation in mm2, is often used.Meyer hardness correlates extremely well with HRC. From the perimeter and the cone angle of thediamond indenter, the depth of the indentation is calculated.For the assignment, students are provided with images of six HRBw indents on three different coldrolled Brass test blocks. They are asked to
