In this project, we seek to bridge this research gap by identifying features ofdisciplinary subcultures in engineering that are correlated to mental health.The present work is part of a larger mixed methods study that seeks to understand the role ofmental health in engineering culture with the ultimate goal of informing proactive interventionsto support
replaceexams with projects, so that the major assessments in the course better aligned with authentic problem-solving practices.Figure 5: How similar students found section problems compared with exam problems.Conclusions:Overall, we see that students liked the section problems better than typical homework problems and foundthem more helpful for their overall learning than regular homework problems. However, students foundthat the section problems did not align with how they were assessed in the course. Overall we see somegains in problem-solving throughout the course, but we cannot attribute this gain to the section problemswithout a control group. However, it seems plausible that students did get more exposure to ideas aboutprocess safety in this
no time in industry, oftenstruggle with connecting course learning objectives to the wider outside world. However,students benefit from intentional interactions with professionals in their area of study [1].Informational interviews, site visits [2], industry-sponsored projects [3], and adjunct instructorsfrom industry [4] all provide educational advantages within the context of an engineeringcurriculum. Each of these can require a great deal of time on the part of the industry liaison ornecessitate curricular changes. Another common tactic is to bring in a guest lecturer for a singleclass session to give a talk on her specialty or to tie class material to industry. This is a fairlycommon practice and relatively easy to schedule because one

In this regard,engineering education has been profoundly impacted by the challenges associated withdelivering laboratory content and design experiences remotely. In a qualitative survey conductedby the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) to help assess the impact of thepandemic on the engineering education community [1], respondents overwhelmingly consideredthe loss of lab-based, hands-on instruction to be the leading problem faced by engineeringeducators. Approximately 120 out of 207 responses included the terms “hands-on,” “lab” or“laboratories,” or both, and another 20 mentioned “team,” referring to activities and projects.

Our study attempts to contribute to the existingliterature by providing details about the learning activities and resources used for understandingCT competencies in young students. We intently implemented this project to examine how thesecompetencies appear in young students. The preliminary results show that students from the twogroups we analyzed demonstrated Algorithms & Procedure and Debugging/Troubleshootingcompetencies during the robot mouse game. There are two possible directions for futureexploration. We want to see which other competencies students demonstrate and also whetherthe prevalence of these two competencies is seen for the entire class. The instance of patterningcan also be explored

The use of Zoom as a tool to deliver online class has become very popular since theCOVID-19 pandemic began in the spring of 2020. The Zoom platform has been largely adoptedby institutions during the pandemic across the U.S. and around the world. It is used as a method toconnect, present, and deliver lectures to students, and also as a way for students to interact withgroup projects during a time when learning in person has become potentially unsafe. Zoom iscommonly used to facilitate the communication and interaction between teachers and students, andalso meets the demands for a

While incentives can bea powerful tool for convincing faculty to join a change initiative, they are only as successful insofaras they are valued as heavily as other research-focused incentives [11].

Students who evaluate well can provide reflections on approaches taken to solve a problem and demonstrate their ability to assess underlying concepts in the process of choosing the best among multiple alternative solutions. ● Create: putting elements together to produce a new pattern or original work. In engineering, the previous levels of the taxonomy culminate to the design of a component or system that invokes all previous levels of the taxonomy. Such efforts to create are often stimulated in capstone design classes but can also be invoked in smaller projects in lower- level courses.Promoting the integration, design, and evaluation capabilities of students is
