We will conduct a nested case study to trace how student-participants’ experiences in academic and extra-curricular programs in their respective highschools could be further connected with EMBER’s offerings, and through EMBER with a moresuccessful academic, social, and personal transition into first-year engineering.References:[1] M.

them to be quite effective. Twelve lab videos were created using Camtasia in conjunctionwith PowerPoint slides, and Excel step by step instructions and demonstration. Creating each lab video was also atime consuming process.Lecture and lab videos were uploaded to YouTube with a link listed in MyCourses. I found that the YouTube Studiodoes automatic captioning with remarkable accuracy during the conversion to the high definition (HD) format.When we return to in-person instruction, I will replace the in-person lab instruction by lab videos. Lab assistantswill be available in the Friday labs to assist. For students looking for a challenge, I will use the lab time for anoptional class to teach numerical modeling.References1. S. K. Gupta

A very few universities, like McMaster University, employ bothteaching assistants (TAs) and instructional assistant interns (IAIs) along with instructors for acourse.With all university classes transitioning online from face-to-face, employing more teachingassistants might prove helpful, particularly for incoming first-year students whose needsoutweigh those of students

needingsignificant and more specialized support, their departments frequently encourage them to seekassistance to increase their teaching skills. For various reasons (research, too many classes, highservice load, etc.), there is a large population of teachers between the groups described abovewho could use help increasing their teaching and communication skills as shown in the middlelevels of the teaching skills hierarchy in Figure 1. This population of teachers may not attendMTEI programming, but will frequently respond well to information tied to their specificcourse(s) that is timely and time efficient to implement. Reaching all faculty, including in thislast group, has guided the design and implementation of the mid-semester course feedbackprogram.MTEI

been forced to share resources, such as computers, with siblings [1]. Asinstructors tried to adapt to these challenges for their students, many opted to prerecord classes.Doing so allowed students to access lectures asynchronously. Using online platforms to postprerecorded lectures has been used effectively since the 1990’s [3]. Prerecorded lectures providestudents the ability to pause and replay any part of the lecture [3]. Today, the pioneeringconcepts of Holman et al. (1999) have served as a foundation with the traditional lecturerecorded onto each PowerPoint slide, allowing students to watch the prerecording in its entiretyor choose slides where additional study is needed.

capstone course. It utilizes skills and knowledge acquired in various courses in the curriculum and general education courses to produce a real-life project. In this course, students follow a faculty driven structured process to integrate various components of a project. This course introduces very little new material, rather it helps the student to synthesize skills and knowledge learned in other courses to apply in real-life situations. Prerequisite(s): Department Approval, Upper Division Status, recommended in the final semester, CON357, ARC 364 and CON401W.
