ProgramAbstractDuring the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic crisis, classrooms across the globe have abruptlypivoted to virtual learning strategies. This change has posed many challenges with both thepedagogical methodology for instructors and the learning environment for students. Moreover,this transition has prompted the emergence of new virtual instructional techniques. Due to theextenuating circumstance of the pandemic, the author’s institution introduced a wide range ofvirtual teaching modes while holding a limited number of face-to-face classes. Among thesecourses, Introduction to Graphics is considered to be a critical course that requires in-personlearning strategies, as it includes manual drafting with hands-on exercises. In the Fall 2020semester, the

This disconnectoccurred because the personnel on the IT accessibility team has little to no teaching experienceand no knowledge of the practicalities of what happens in an MET course, especially one withhands-on laboratory components. A major concern of the faculty in the Penn State Behrend METprogram was based on the first line of the official EEAAP document that indicated it was alegally binding document. Faculty were hesitant to simply create a bare-bones document thatcould be misinterpreted later, or to create a plan that was not actually feasible to implement if theoccasion occurred that a visually impaired or blind person chose to major in MET on theBehrend campus. Therefore, it was almost entirely up to the MET faculty

Besides teaching, the Sovietexperts spent a significant portion of their time developing teaching materials and textbooks, whichresulted in the publication of dozens of textbooks in Chinese. Finally, the Soviet experts advisedTsinghua leaders in reviving the university’s research capacity, which had been in a halted statusduring the early 1950s. Soviet scientists and engineers participated in committees and meetingsthat developed strategies in different areas of research. Furthermore, a number of Soviet expertscollaborated with Tsinghua faculty and students in building laboratories and libraries, and in thedesign and conducting of research experiments.Compare to the limited numbers of elite American and European professors

Education theme through its focus on the value that ariseswhen faculty from different disciplines (one chemical engineering, the other writing) collaborate.Here, the authors abided by the definition of “authentic collaboration,” as given by Reave(2004). Moreover, because this teaching occurred over two semesters and was part of a college-wide initiative to integrate writing into all four years, the paper demonstrated the third theme ofdesigning curricula, not just courses. The theme of designing curricula was seen in another 2020 paper that was also from theUniversity of New Haven. Titled “A Three-Course Laboratory Sequence in Mechanical

This not only increases general confidence in the ability of the devices to beimplemented into hazardous systems, but also allows for failure analysis to be iterated on infuture designs. Educating students on the importance of reliability testing can be difficult due to thetypical ways students are exposed to devices and systems in classrooms and laboratories.Students, especially at the undergraduate level, are often exposed to devices/systems just afterlearning about them. Laboratory exercises are often geared towards normal system performanceand rarely contain fault analysis. When fault analysis is examined in a classroom environment

While this was a known problem for theEE program, a closed-loop educational assessment and improvement was conducted to close thegap and relate students to their field of study as early as the first semester of study. In this newapproach to the lower-division courses students will start system view courses and currentprototyping circuits and tools were used to set up the laboratory experiments. The goals of thisstudy were: a) Integration of courses and providing a system view in the lower-division courses. b) Improving retention and engagement in early years of study. c) Closing the gap between lower-division and upper-division courses by practicing system view projects using

This island featured a virtual laboratory with multiple floors and exhibits such as ACgenerators and DC motors. For creating detailed laboratory exhibits Second Life might be anideal platform.

Engineering faculty have many responsibilities, including, but not limited to: teaching a heavy course load, laboratory research, writing publications, applying for funding, attending conferences, managing laboratory materials and safety, mentoring students, networking with industry, and professional development. Therefore, professors’ time is often limited, and professors may not see the value in adjusting a preexisting course. 5. Engineering education is often based on precedent; it is slow to accept change, especially relative to liberal arts
