Paper ID #35178Paper: Necessity Brings Out a Welcomed Laboratory ChangeDr. Arthur Densmore, California State University, Long Beach Arthur Densmore has been a lecturer at CSULB for six years teaching electronics seminar and laboratory courses and loves the subject. He entered the field of electronics first as a hobby as a child, won 1st place in the California VICA Industrial Electronics state-wide competition in high school and earned all of his degrees in electronics with honors: BSEE at Cal Poly Pomona, MSEE at Caltech, and PhD at UCLA. At the end of each semester he usually receives student reviews above the department

a survey of the use of the flipped class to prepare for teachingclinical skills laboratory. The main benefits reported were positive changes in student behavior,including preparation and better use of time during labs by both the students and instructors.Although they focus on a non-engineering discipline, the classes use a hands-on lab. As such, thestudies’ conclusions may be pertinent for engineering disciplines with similar lab requirements.Vielma et al.[7] performed a study of best practices during COVID-19 stay-at-home instructionsand found that students’ preference is towards a flipped classroom model. Based on the feedbackfrom the students taking lab classes, Lee et al.[8] propose several methods for conducting labs inFall 2020. One

toideate is particularly worthy of further investigation. Specifically, how engineering courses maylimit a student’s ability to ideate. This is supported by Lai et al.’s (2008) findings that suggest aninverse relationship between the number of years in engineering courses and one's ability to dodivergent thinking. Researchers may consider the role of design and creativity courses inengineering education, such as the Ideation Laboratory at MIT [27]. Further, researchers mightexplore the influence of innovation-oriented liberal arts or business classes (e.g., product design,entrepreneurship, etc.) on engineers’ ability to think creatively. Such experiences could exposestudents to different domains of ideation while providing an opportunity to

levels of both structural response and secondary systems. After re- ceiving her PhD, Dr. Wong began a post-doctoral fellowship at Lawrence National Laboratory developing a modern computational framework for the nonlinear seismic analysis of Department of Energy nuclear facilities and systems. This work seeks to expand the understanding of soil structure interaction for these structures and the means of modeling this behavior both theoretically and experimentally. In addition to her research experience, Dr. Wong also has worked for the public and private engineering sectors in the areas of water infrastructure, transportation, data systems, and project management. She joined San Fran- cisco State University in 2014 as
