The pedagogy has shown benefitsto student learning [7-10], motivation and retention [11-13]. Additionally, evidence shows thatcommunity-engagement can improve diversity within engineering programs [14-16]. With thesebenefits and the possibilities for impacting engineering programs, assessment methods areneeded to support the open-ended design experiences they incorporate.Design experiences, including those encapsulated within community engagement efforts, areincreasing within engineering curricula and traditional assessments including quizzes, homeworkproblems, and exams are

games in future.1 IntroductionWith technology improving every year, younger generations are exposed to new ways of beingeducated. Students are constantly being provided with new resources to learn. Video gamesand phone applications are effective learning resources that can be beneficial to students.Generation Z and Generation Alpha have grown up with technology and spend countless hourson their phone or computers playing games. In the early ‘90s, video games used to be only seenas more of an entertaining way to pass the time than to provide a learning experience, but nowgame developers are seeing opportunities in games to educate their players. Educational videogames can be extremely beneficial to students by providing an interactive and

autograding. Previous research on the use of MATLAB® autograding in first-yearengineering courses has been mostly focused on the use of smaller practice problems testing oneparticular concept (Edgcomb, Sambamurthy, & Gulvady, 2018; Kecskemety, Parris, & Sattele,2019). Ex: A programming problem on creating a while loop to accomplish a task. Theseproblems are suitable for learning progression; however, engineering problems rarely involvejust one concept, but rather multiple ones. This paper adds to the literature by focusing onMATLAB® autograded coding problems that utilize multiple concepts across sections of aninteractive online MATLAB® textbook.Coding EnvironmentFigure 1 depicts the coding environment for the MATLAB® labs.

Failure to complete the necessarytraining can impact re-hiring decisions and could potentially lead to immediate termination [1].The primary training on written feedback practices for UTAs is a one-time grading training at anorientation conducted before classes start in the autumn semester where UTAs receive feedbackon their scoring and written feedback of a large technical writing assignment (e.g., a lab report).The focus of this study is on UTA written feedback practices in the FEP course sequences ontechnical communication assignments. Technical communication assignments are of particularinterest because of the importance for engineering students to develop strong communicationskills. In the workplace

Although sections are taught bydifferent instructors, course content, materials, and instructional design are consistent acrosssections. This course follows the “ExCEED Model” of what constitutes good teaching:structured organization, engaging presentation, enthusiasm, positive rapport with students,frequent assessment of student learning, and appropriate use of technology [1]. However, passingrate has historically hovered around 70%; approximately 30% of students earn below theminimum grade of “C” required to progress from this course.

due to a gap in skills such as communication and problem-solving [1]. Newlygraduated and employed engineers must be ready to engage in workplace learning as self-directed learners. This preparation must come from engineering learning experiences designed tohelp students transition from instructor-led learning (as is typical of pedagogy) to more self-directed learning (as is typical of adult learning or andragogy) across the curriculum [2].However, there is much fixation on pedagogical approaches and engineering science learning,wherein students work to solve predominately close-ended problems [3].

Prince defines active learning as “any instructional method that engages the students in thelearning process.” [1] Many educational institutions were forced to conduct their classes onlinedue to COVID-19, at least at the start of the pandemic. This presented a problem for manyinstructors to maintain student interest in lab based courses for which students were unable toattend in person. As a result many labs were taught virtually or were simulated. For this reason,development of hands-on hardware-based projects or labs that do not require the students

Finally, wediscuss some of the limitations of mindset surveys and propose an alternative method for makingmeaning of the impacts of entrepreneurial education on student mindsets.One of the challenges to forming a useful metric for assessing mindsets is that the stage ofanalysis is the internal cognitive processes one undergoes when analyzing situations,opportunities, or ideas for solutions. The graphic below (Figure 1) demonstrates this process.First one perceives the world around them, analyzes their options and contextualizes what theyare perceiving, and finally choose to take, or not take, entrepreneurial actions.

While thelecture component covers the theoretical concepts and derivations, the laboratory demonstrationsare known to improve the students’ understanding of the concepts through observation andexperimentation.

The flippedclassroom is a relatively new pedagogical approach for student-centric learning. It is ushering in anew cohort of active learners.
