Using Logisim-Evolution and Basys 3Teachers in undergraduate programs often find it challenging to engage with students so thatmaterials and knowledge related to the subject matter are communicated in an efficient andmeaningful way. To address the effectiveness of knowledge transfer and to make the DigitalElectronics (DE) classroom experience more productive, several pedagogical approaches such asactive learning with a hands-on approach, scaffolding, project-based learning, authentic and real-world learning, simulation within the classroom environment, and teamwork have been found tobe effective [1]-[4]. Additionally, recent advances in technological tools have createdopportunities for a flexible curriculum that serves the

In this work, the correlation analysis of the qualitative and quantitative data collectedfrom two different institutions is accomplished for understanding the commonalities anddifferences between STEM majors of two institutions based on their preferences of usingtechnology to solve a function graphing question. Research participant population consisted of 24STEM students from a university located at the Northeastern side of the U.S. (to be calledInstitution 1) and 17 students of a university located at

When describinghow the RET experience impacted their approach to teaching classroom content, the commonthemes that emerged from interview responses, however, centered on practices andmultidisciplinary integration rather than on specific disciplinary content knowledge.

classical engineering curriculum with a one or two semester course inquantum computing [7].Several universities have offered courses in quantum computing at the graduate andundergraduate levels. Due to the growing demand for ‘quantum-aware’ specialists, there is aneed for introductory-level QIST courses. In this paper, we describe a pair of introductorycourses in quantum computing for undergraduate students studying electrical engineering,physics, and computer science. By requiring a modest set of prerequisites, the courses will beaccessible to a broader range of STEM students. Our approach features an interdisciplinarylearning environment, which prepares students for modern work environments where engineersand scientists routinely work with other

ConcepTests evaluate the readers’ understanding by integrating the concepts intoquestions that force the learners to evaluate their own arguments for certain multiple-choiceanswers while selecting one final answer. Thus, the learners’ considered reasoning before selectingan answer allows for evaluation of conceptual understanding. However, few ConcepTests havebeen developed for Process Control courses.As an extra credit assignment in a Process Control course at Northeastern University, studentswere given the opportunity to write ConcepTest questions of their own for use with

As one of thecentral competencies recognized by engineering education community, teamwork skills can be improvedby practice and feedback, especially learning through peer evaluations [2] – [5].

This novel approach has been designed toenhance access to the program starting in high school. The new dual-credit approach, whichis called the facilitator model, allows high school teachers to be trained in facilitating theinnovation-focus curriculum in their schools day-to-day but with the university faculty beingthe instructor of record to evaluate the student progress.

Within this structure students gain valuable research and developmentskills, but at a level that is appropriate for their age level while reducing the projects costs andensuring safety of students.

If it is perceived as a different field, then students may not understand that studyingtheir ethical decisions will relate directly to their careers. To combat this, some instructorsapproach ethics from a convergent (cognitive) perspective and/or engage students by grabbingtheir attention (heroic actions, catastrophic events, fictionalized scenarios) that may not be aseffective at changing behavior due to taking too large of an imaginative leap.Preparation for ethical conflicts makes one more likely to act ethically [23], but most ethicaldecisions engineers face in

Outside of theimprovements in future engineering courses, the use of PjBL has shown to better preparestudents for the workforce and the challenges they may face. However, one concern ofimplementation of PjBL is that it may overwhelm a student especially when conducted in lowerlevel courses.

Results suggest that more practice with higher order skills in context of the engineeringdesign process at additional points during the curriculum may be necessary to enable students toretain these skills. Additional recommendations based on the analysis include making ILrequirements in the Capstone grading rubric more explicit and granular, and combiningengineering subject matter experts and engineering librarians to collectively score students’work. This may be a path to enabling more rubric-based assessments of IL in the engineeringdiscipline.BackgroundMechanical Engineering students at Northeastern University
