Paper ID #36612Challenges with Online Teaching and Learnings for the Post-Pandemic ClassroomTyler Gamvrelis Tyler Gamvrelis is graduate student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Toronto. His primary research activities lie within the domain of wireless communications, and range from resource allocation and market design to signal processing algorithms for multi-antenna systems.Hamid S Timorabadi (Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream) Hamid Timorabadi received his BSc, MASc, and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto. He has worked as a
students to invest in their learning [5]. Bringing course materials to bear on real-worldscenarios and projects “allow[s] students to vividly and concretely see the relevance and value ofotherwise abstract concepts and theories” [5]. Their findings have relevance for improvingstudent learning in STS and engineering ethics, which are often taught in more abstract settingsnot directly related to students’ work on engineering design projects.Building on these insights, I designed the LEGO course to offer both a seminar and studioexperience in the context of the University’s two-week intensive January term. I hoped thiswould encourage students to apply the social and ethical insights into the LEGO Group’spractices discussed in the morning seminar to
build off of other responses and highlight unique aspects of their experience.AcknowledgementsThe authors of this work would like to thank the focus group participants as well as thedepartment in which this study was conducted.References [1] V.

translation that the actor-network is built, transformed and stabilized (Callon,1984).Problematization is the stage of defining a situation by making some aspect(s) of it indispensable. In thispart of the process, identities and relationships between actors are presupposed and OPPs are defined.Making a parallel with the design thinking cycle, the problematization would be the equivalent to“empathize” and “define the problem”, where engineers are trying to understand the problem, itsrequirements, and constraints.In the second stage, interessement, the definitions presupposed through problematization can bestabilized, disputed, or rejected. A structure, or a system of alliances between actors, may be negotiatedand constructed. However, in Callon’s

Problems form the organizational focus and stimulus of learning 5. Problems are the vehicles for the development of problem-solving skills 6. New information is acquired through self-directed learning. [2]Since its introduction, an explosion of research touts the pedagogy and its effectiveness. As withmany pedagogical methods, the effectiveness depends on the how the theory is put into practice,and as Graaf points out “the label ‘PBL’ is used to cover an amazing diversity of educationalpractices, ranging from problem-oriented lectures to completely open

cohorts of students – a third-year, a fourth-year, and anewly graduated engineering student. Their backgrounds and visions vary, and the changing world,including last year’s COVID-19 pandemic and research lab shutdown, impacts them in different ways.Yet, these students share a drive to innovate and make the most of available opportunities. Theperspectives of these students on the engineering entrepreneurship education they receive through thisinstitution will help to develop future projects and entrepreneurship programs.IntroductionRowan University’s engineering program was developed in the late 1990’s when there was a growingnational movement to reform undergraduate engineering education.

Secules(2017) describes as a replacement of free labor from Black people and “… the quintessentialproductive force behind the industrial revolution. A modern invention, a capitalistic invention.”[25, Page 3]. During this time, American politicians and white educators questioned what type ofeducation would be appropriate for newly freed Black people. As Slaton (2004) notes, anyinclusivity of Black people in technical occupations or education was in direct response to how itwould benefit the U.S.’s global competitiveness and economy.In response, HBCUs were created and led by “white architects of black education” that educatedBlack youth on skills that would support a growing industrialized economy but kept Blacks inthe lowest socio-economic

The first two universitydepartments of engineering were created in the 1830’s [3]. The importance of applied scienceseems to have been recognised from the beginning. Indeed, it was Humphrey Lloyd, theProfessor of Natural Philosophy, who in 1841 proposed that Trinity College Dublin shouldestablish training in engineering, the teaching of which would be supported by professors(scientists and mathematicians) already in the university [4].In parallel, in Scotland, there developed from 1821 a system of voluntary MechanicsInstitutes which spread across England and
