Our research goals were to study the students’ learning and anyimpacts on the companies’ practices; in particular, how new communication skills, tools,symbols, concepts, and procedures disseminated in both directions. Open-ended surveyresponses from the years 2017, 2018, and 2019 were analyzed using the constant comparisonmethod to allow themes to emerge from the data. The analysis of these data shows 1) Throughthe design and prior training of workers, it generated a psychologically safe learningenvironment for students in companies. 2) students recognize they establish a clear connectionbetween the objectives of the

The11-week duration class (including the final exam week) at Kettering University consisted of bothsenior undergraduate and graduate ME students. The prerequisites for the course includemechanics, CAE, design, material science and finite element analysis (FEA). For the analysiscarried in this paper, the currently used all-steel railcar truck stand has been redesigned andmodeled as a simplified 3D space frame using standard tubular (pipe section) members.Although the simplified model does not represent in any way the actual stand used in the railcarindustry, it is anticipated to serve the same purpose as

Within this process, steps 1, 2, 3 and 4can all highly benefit from divergent thinking, one of the best known dimensions of creativeability. Often overlooked for the role that creativity plays in it is problem definition andresearching the problem. More commonly accepted is the value of creativity in developing andplanning possible solutions. Some textbooks include specific techniques for teams to

The retentionand attrition rates are usually at the center of this discussion as they can be directly linked toother metrics, including graduation rates. Several AEC programs also explored the idea of aninterdisciplinary/multi-disciplinary curriculum, which utilized a common curriculum in the firstand second years for multiple majors [8-10].Two specific observations can be noted from the decades-long research work: 1) the first andsecond-year success and

Research shows active-learning pedagogy suchas hands-on collaborative student-centered learning enhances the success of underrepresentedminority students in STEM [1, 4]. In this paper, we describe the work done to address the three critical areas. In particular: 1. We describe the design and the adoption of the college algebra with a corequisite model to shorten the time on algebra sequence. 2. We describe the curriculum redesign

A promising emerging technology isquantum computing, which is theoretically predicted to provide exponential increases in speedover classical computers for certain problems, such as solving linear systems of equations [2]and factoring integers via Shor’s algorithm [3].

However, if these projects are created without a social justiceframework, or undertaken without appropriate student training, they can often reify the inequitiesthey seek to resolve. When students are motivated by a “design-for-charity” mindset, they maydevise effective short-term solutions to a specific technical challenge, but fail to adequatelyimplement a successful long-term resolution [1]. These projects can often have a paternalisticquality, in which engineering students, outsiders to the community, decide upon the best courseof action for community members without taking into consideration the community members’needs, goals, or desires [2

This paper examines some of the bestpractices and challenges for building and deploying a set of standards for online instruction,noting that while arduous, high fidelity instructional design creates value for students andfaculty, both online and offline, with students appreciating readily accessible course materialsand recorded lectures. Best practice recommendations are driven by synthesizing qualitativefaculty feedback and Likert-scaled student survey data. Faculty and student survey results showthat face-to-face learning is still the ‘gold standard’ for optimal learning opportunities, however,the pandemic has accelerated the build-out of hyflex course deliveries and created
