final applicants selected would be aware of the newrequirements. Furthermore, participants were informed that the promised stipend amounts wouldbe unchanged for remote participation. Surprisingly, despite the challenges posed by thepandemic, the recruitment targets for the REU program were exceed (31/30). However, therecruitment targets for the RET program did fall short (9/15).Lab ToursIn 2019, participants received a tour of the research labs at the host institution in which they wouldbe participating. Since that became impossible to do due to the pandemic, faculty advisors wereasked to prepare an introductory video of their research activities and the associated labs. Theseapproximately 5-minute videos were presented to all participants

Rubrics for ABET PC-A and PC-BIn the CET department, faculty members are usually free to develop their own approaches toevaluating the students' performance in their class, but they are required to show the evaluationstandards. We redesigned the assessment rubrics to cover the Program Specific Criteria ofABET/ETAC 2019-2020 specifications. The rubric's performance indicators map to studentoutcomes described in the Program Specific Criteria for Electromechanical EngineeringTechnology, criteria (a) and (b), namely, PC-A and PC-B. The rubric for PC-A contains only oneperformance indicator associated with it. The rubric for PC-B has two performance indicators. Therubrics' scoring scale is made up of four levels: excellent (level 4), good (level 3

Effectiveness Assessment) requires institutions to deliver organized and systemic assessments (criterion 2) that evaluate student achievement of program goals and communicate those results to stakeholders. The institution is also required to demonstrate its integration of assessment results in its efforts to improve its educational effectiveness (criterion 3).Hossain et al. (2019) argue that there is a “…fundamental difference between MSCHE (regional/institutional) and ABET (program-level) accreditations. MSCHE accreditation is an institutional process that grants credibility to the institution as a whole rather than to any specific program. … MSCHE accreditation requires an in

Our outreach effort consisted of a demo showcase of a robotic microfluidic liquid handler,which although was outside the scope of this study, was supported by our industry partners.From Fall 2019 to Spring 2020, we surveyed N=49 students across three different classes(Thermodynamics, AC circuits, and Control Systems) to first build awareness of the DNA instrumentationindustry. Selected students then participated in our yearly Undergraduate Research Program, whichfaculty designed as an 8-week authentic product development effort our industry partners.Student performance outcomes (project deliverables) included successful 3D print verification of our 32-channel dispenser design, raising awareness and self-attitude of

In addition, the instructor and students discuss how using non-calibrated instruments can lead to incorrect measurements, which in turn can have a significant impact on engineering projects, such as monitoring of engineering structures with implications to the community and safety.Discussion and ConclusionsIncreasing student motivation and confidence to participate in class activities is important formathematics and statistics classes that are aimed to build strong knowledge foundations inengineering students.
