Student responses to clicker questions were not graded, but they hadto answer all but one question each day to receive full participation credit (see Table 1).Examining Table 1, an important detail to note is that in 2018, Statics & Mechanics of Materialswas a 4-credit class, made up of a 3-credit lecture component and a 1-credit laboratorycomponent. In 2019 and 2020, the lecture and laboratory components were separated. Since theoriginal grading breakdown included a 25% lab grade and this paper is only examining thelecture component of the course, the grading breakdown in Table 1 has been adjusted for 2018 sothat the lecture components of the class add up to 100% of the grade

Powered by www.slayte.com Online Robotics Project-based Learning Approach in a First-year Engineering ProgramAbstractA first-year mandatory engineering project-based course aimed at developing an engineering mindsetwas taught through students engaging in active learning strategies built on the design-thinkingframework by Ulrich and Eppinger. Course outcomes were achieved via students' participation in thefabrication of an autonomous robotic vehicle facilitated through practical hands-on activities, groupdiscussions, and laboratory modules. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this formerly in-person courseadopted a synchronous teaching model and used online instructional tools for lectures, group activities,and
and build excellent senior capstone projects even in thetime of physical isolation assuming that inexpensive rapid prototyping machines are available andappropriate pedagogical tools are implemented.1. Introduction Senior capstone projects are crucial components of most engineering curricula. They areoften used for assessing many student learning outcomes (SLOs) for accreditation purposes,recruiting of new students, and retaining the current students. These projects represent hands-onstudent-team efforts in engineering design and often require substantial laboratory andmanufacturing support using well-equipped machine shops and qualified staff. This workcompares three senior design project sets from three consecutive years (pre

Our analysis shows that a low grade in the mechanicalengineering sophomore laboratory is an early indicator that a student may overpersist inmechanical engineering. We are still finalizing the corresponding strategic pathways for thesestudents, but preliminary results show that in addition to the expected pathways of IndustrialEngineering and Civil Engineering, many students who struggle in the ME lab find success inComputer Science. This finding will be important because often students are only advised aboutother engineering majors. Through the Dashboard and feedback to advisors, we can make surestudents are aware of options outside of engineering that
: Methodology“Making” was infused into two courses using the Course-based Undergraduate ResearchExperiences (CUREs) model; 1.) a BIOL2030 called Drosophila Behavioural Genetics(DaBuGs) (sophomore-level, honors, elective) and 2.) a BIOL3100 Genetics required course (1stsemester junior-level). The CUREs learning strategy provides undergraduates with authenticlaboratory research experiences in determining the genetic susceptibility of Drosophila toethanol-induced behavior of sedation [5, 6]. The laboratory component of both courses wasinfused with “making” to varying degrees of complexity based on course-time allotment todigital fabrication. As a result, two different pedagogies were used as a strategy to infuse“making’ into formal classroom settings
deformation can be an obstacle to structural mechanicseducation and learning. Teaching structural mechanics is traditionally delivered by a primarylecture component usually complemented by structural laboratory demonstrations. While thelecture component covers the theoretical concepts and derivations, the laboratory demonstrationsare known to improve the students’ understanding of the concepts through observation andexperimentation. Students often work with line drawings of members with idealized loadings andboundary conditions, but struggle to understand the dimensional reduction of load path (i.e. 3Dcombined loading reduced to member force effects) within a multi-story building systems [1, 2].Other shortcomings in traditional modes of teaching

The study underscores theimportance of mentoring support during the crisis of a pandemic.IntroductionThe pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has severely affected the highereducation system since Spring 2020. In engineering fields, the outbreak disrupted faculty andstudents’ daily school routine, which typically includes in-person classes, laboratory research,and mentoring activities. Funded by the National Science Foundation (DGE-2031069; DGE-2051263), this research project investigated the life and educational challenges faculty andstudents in engineering fields encountered during the pandemic, and examined how mentoringactivities supported students’ academic, career, and mental health outcomes.We appreciate the invitation

www.slayte.com Changes of Project Based Learning Effectiveness due to the COVID-19 PandemicAbstract Project based learning (PBL) is an effective student-centered method to improve students’understanding. However, most PBL learning techniques rely heavily on a sequence of activitieswhich require interaction with other humans or components and equipment in the laboratory. Formany years, this method has proven effective and reliable particularly in STEM education. During the year when COVID-19 hit the world, PBL based education was implemented in thesame exact manner as previous years to teach a course in electronics to senior students in highschool. However, remarkable deterioration was observed in students
visualization and measurement in PIV shows promise for activelyengaging secondary, undergraduate, and graduate students with fluid dynamics concepts.Educational PIVEngineering students often encounter fluid mechanics for the first time midway through theirundergraduate career, in a mathematics-heavy curriculum, with a perceived lack of relevance tothe real world [20, 21]. Some educators have even observed these difficulties to dissuadestudents from pursuing fluids-specific careers [21]. However, educators have also noted thatstudents’ perceptions about fluid mechanics could be shifted in response to flow visualizationinstruction [21, 22]. As a result, fluid mechanics educators capable of implementing PIV in theclassroom/laboratory are not only provided
thatprograms often utilize company sponsorships to improve the engineering technology degree. Forinstance, if the school is looking for financial assistance to expand a laboratory for students,companies from the IAB could help to provide the cost-share funds to create an industry-standard classroom experience. Based on the recommendations from industry as to the hardwareand software that is needed, companies can sponsor equipment and the faculty training to conveythat knowledge to students. This agreement may also come with a promise to keep the labmaintained and updated to accommodate industry trends and changing expectations. Usually,schools will then name the laboratory after the sponsors to highlight their role in the creation ofthe program and to

to degree completion stems largely from the desire for flexibility in learningfor students [8].Though the development of these online programs saw some success pre-pandemic, many peoplestill shy away from online education when it comes to engineering fields. Some of the factorsthat can be attributed to this are course quality and breadth [9]. Online courses are oftenstereotyped as being of a lower quality than in person courses, whether it be in content, delivery,or interpersonal interactions with students and instructors [2]. When it comes to laboratory stylecourses for engineers, these online courses are especially difficult given the desire for hands-onuse of tools and instruments [9].
