faculty from different disciplines into small groups where each member observes aclass taught by the others and also a class taught by a separate faculty member versed in one ormore EBT approaches. Teaching assistants for STEM laboratory courses are provided trainingin EBT methods. A new program developed during COVID solicited STEM faculty to producevideos in which they illustrate one or more methods useful in online teaching.(2) Retreats: STEER facilitates departmental retreats in which faculty are guided to fine- tunetheir curricula and align departmental courses. These retreats include an introduction to EBTmethods. STEER also hosts interdisciplinary retreats, in which STEM faculty from variousdisciplines are grouped and encouraged to explore

isgenerally defined as “education being delivered in an online environment through the use of theinternet for teaching and learning” [6]. There are two general types of online content delivery,being synchronous (instructor teaching in real-time) or asynchronous (content is deliveredoutside pre-defined lecture times) [7]. In the Department of Electrical and Software Engineeringat the University of Calgary, both types of online content delivery are being used to teachundergraduate engineering students.This shift to online learning has caused a myriad of issues for students, including resourceintensiveness [8], limited attention span [8], and absence of traditional classroom socialization[9]. Students are reporting higher levels of perceived loneliness

The study will present the developmentand implementation of AM techniques in the flipped classroom (FC), online/on-ground workshopformat, and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).In FC, concepts are learned out of class and the laboratories or problem-solving activities areworked out in practical settings under the supervision of the instructor or assistant [2]. Severalbenefits of FC have been reported in other fields, but not in the 3DP field. One FC study has shownthat integration of 3DP and Industry 4.0 (known as the fourth industrial revolution for the cutting-edge automation of traditional manufacturing practices using modern smart technologies) couldbe successfully implemented in multi-disciplinary engineering teaching

AbstractIn this paper, we describe an exploratory study to support efforts in revising first-year coursesrequired for engineering students. It is common to include some form of introductoryprogramming or spreadsheet computation topics in first-year courses. The inclusions of thesetopics is ostensibly to provide foundational computational skills needed in later courses.However, there are many challenges associated with teaching and learning these skills, the leastof which is selecting which skills to include in the finite time allotted for a first-year introductorycourse that may also be tasked with teaching foundational problem solving and professionalskills. This study is the first stage towards identifying a core set of skills for inclusion that

The course met for two 50-minute lectures sessions as well as a110 minute laboratory session each week. Students in the laboratory session were split betweenexperimental facilities using for performing the experiments and computational classrooms tofacilitate data analysis and report writing. In order to enable this simultaneous approach to thelaboratory aspects of the course, four fourth-year students were employed as teaching assistantsfor the course, supported by the Lafayette College Division of Engineering. These instructionalassistant students were instrumental in being available for students seeking

These four-person groupings extend to thelaboratory experience, where students rotate groups approximately weekly. The facultyinstructors take primary responsibility for delivery of the classroom experience, while thegraduate teaching associates develop and lead the laboratory component under the guidance ofthe instructors.The first course in the honors sequence provides instruction in problem solving, computerprogramming, engineering design, and technical communication.
