very important formeeting the needs of skilled engineering talents, but there is still a lack of a suitable theoreticalframework to examine and explain such new engineering learning phenomena properly. Policymakers andengineering education managers would like to extend these new types of engineering learning but withoutenough empirical evidence to prove their advantages over conventional engineering learning inclassrooms. For this question, we designed and implemented a comprehensive research plan to enhanceour understanding of the relationships as well as identified the mechanisms between these new forms ofengineering learning in communities of practice and the engineering student’s competence development,and also to develop a theory that

The iCAN program builds onstudents’ broad set of transferable skills (e.g., problem-solving, creativity, dealing withcomplexity, focus), the knowledge such individuals bring from their respective fields, and fostersa sense of belonging in the computing field [5].An Innovative CurriculumInitially, the iCAN program was designed to start as an on-campus program in Fall 2020.However, the COVID-19 pandemic required us to change our plans to offer an online graduatecomputing fundamentals certificate for non-computing college graduates. Our courses are taughtsynchronously online through Zoom, and students are expected to

Safety is recognized as an essential part of professionalpractice, and construction education programs take this into account by requiring occupationalsafety classes in their curriculum.Professional accreditation standards include safety as a mandatory part of their student learningoutcomes. For example, the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) lists “createa construction project safety plan” as one of the higher-level student learning outcomes [2]. Mostconstruction programs address these requirements by creating stand-alone and dedicated coursesaligned with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)’s outreach trainingcontent.

These applications, however, exist beyond thescope of topics traditionally emphasized in core chemical engineering courses.

The activitychallenges listed in the post-survey were the time limitations, the need for more examples, timeto plan, and assessment. Time limitation is the most significant challenge (n=3) mentioned, asfaculty felt that the suggested time length for each activity was not long enough. For theactivities selected, the average suggested time was 7.9 minutes.Discussion and future workWe plan to continue to develop the EML micromoment activities, make additions, and seekfeedback and ideas from the engineering education community.

importance of PT. By adopting PBL and active pedagogy, the study sought to explore thefollowing areas of student learning: 1) Enhance student comprehension of why and how PT building systems are the way they are. 2) Develop skills to quickly estimate and select the best system for a project. 3) Create a better understanding of how the knowledge and skills are actually applied post-graduation. Our study was deployed within a new graduate class (AE 530). This course was created with theintent to educate both integrated Bachelor of Architectural Engineering / Master of ArchitecturalEngineering (BAE/MAE) students and M.Eng. students who plan to enter the professional workforce upongraduation. While guided by these cohorts, civil

undergraduate students at sixuniversities was conducted to determine whether a predictive model to estimate students' choiceswere possible. They identified three primary factors: academic reputation, distance from home,and location. They surveyed 650 first-year students in the accounting and engineering disciplinesand performed a mean and factor analysis.Another published work [14] studied the factors that influenced the choice of a university in whichthe approach was from a marketing point of view. Recommendations were that the institutionshould consider establishing its image or market position, identifying its competitors, determiningthe needs of different market segments, and developing a marketing plan to promote its service.This study is mainly

Underrepresented groups like women, who often perceive engineering as a male field,especially experience an identity conflict and gender roles affect their retention in engineering[28,29].The Current StudyThe current study aims to bring up-to-date industry-relevant problems into the classroom and doso by having students interact with industry professionals who pose the problems for students tosolve in a scaffolded manner.

students in three U.S. cities.Outreach Module DevelopmentThe module was developed by the four undergraduate engineering cadets with assistance fromtheir advisors. For the model, topics were chosen based on the cadets’ perceived knowledge ofthe topic and how well they could be understood by a younger audience who has less knowledgeof the field of study. Trusses, the inherent stability of triangles, and buckling behavior werechosen as key topics for the module. These three topics are important aspects of civilengineering, and they can be easily understood when incorporated with general knowledge, toybuilding materials (K’NEX), and real-world examples. Once the topics for the model weredetermined, the cadets met with their advisors to discuss a plan
the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020-2021 academic year, the majority of courses at ourinstitution were offered in virtual modes (87%), while 13% of courses identified as essentialwere implemented in-person with an approved safety plan. Students were not compelled toattend face-to-face courses and were given the option to pursue virtual alternatives. In this case,we were able to offer identical material and synchronous instruction during the laboratoryactivity to virtual students. This combination of factors presented us with a unique opportunity tosimultaneously study the impact of face-to-face and virtual synchronous instruction modes.BackgroundThe structure of the Biomedical Engineering program at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo mirrors thatof many peer

To further increase the usability of the CS,we plan to add local caching, additional communication interfaces, monitoring capabilities, security with aPUF (Physical Unclonable Function) [38], and a field provisioning/troubleshooting tool capable ofcommunication via Bluetooth. The development of local caching will enable the mitigation of data loss byutilizing the CS software to store small amounts of data. This will allow researchers multiple dataextraction options outside of the standard wireless communication protocol. This becomes critical whenerrors
quickproblem solving. Unlike ERT, online education involves a careful design process, withconsideration of a multitude of options depending on the context of the course, that usually takessix to nine months to plan, and improves during the second and third semester of teaching [2]. Infact, the common stigma that online learning is less effective than face-to-face instruction iscontradicted by research, which details the success of planned online courses [2]. Importantly,while online education requires a supportive community to be successful, under ERT the normalinstructor support resources are often overwhelmed [2]. Support during a crisis and other forcedinstructional changes therefore must be rethought.In engineering, online teaching has not been

The documentation on the canvas started silently and slowly shifted to a discussion about the blocks that are filled out. It was intentional to not guide Group 1 in sharing the observations to know what changewould happen when the CC is afterwards used to structure the insights by the same group andwhat themes from the context observation might come out without having a guide for possiblethemes.

If adopted, these will help instructors engage theirstudents in the process of learning about cyber security, improving the quality of education inthis important field.

project submissions due every four to six weeks, it was difficult for theteams to avoid idling for a few weeks and then attempting a mad rush Hail-Mary to reach thelong-term benchmarks. Also, teams sometimes also relied too heavily on a faculty member toprovide them with a work plan for each week.With the above challenges in mind, the incorporation of the PME into our capstone sequenceaims to provide a structure to facilitate prevention and mitigation of team conflict, improved timemanagement, and increased student agency. We strive for the teams to function as self-managedunits (without a faculty “manager” directing the flow of the project) aiming for enhanced teamperformance [7]. Instead, faculty mentors serve in an advisory board, playing an
