Promoting quality STEM Education in the time of Social Distancing (Other)AbstractThe pandemic produced by COVID-19 has forced a radical change in the strategies andmethodologies used to share and transmit knowledge. With the closure of the Schools /Universities, the educational process has been radically transformed from one day to the next.STEM education is based on collaborative work, inquiry, experimentation, problem-solving, andproject generation. This type of education encounters many obstacles in the present situation:students do not have access to laboratories, materials, and other essential supplies to implementan educational process of quality.The Institution has developed alternative ways to promote quality STEM education for

These outstanding facilities have been utilizedthroughout the Mechanical Engineering Technology curriculum but are emphasized in aclass that focuses on production specifications, which also addresses (GD&T).IntroductionAn environmentally-controlled metrology laboratory that resulted from a partnershipbetween Purdue Polytechnic Columbus, a local non-profit organization, and amanufacturer, is used throughout the engineering technology curriculum to reinforce thenecessity of controlling the environment to obtain useful measurement information.Temperature is the largest contributor to errors in dimensional metrology and a labcontrolled at

More in-depth analysis and practical applications are typicallycovered in a mechanics of materials course for all engineering majors, and/or a machinecomponent design course for mechanical

also focus on the data in the design of labs, includingcollection, transmission, storage, and presentation. Since the labs are designed mainly forteaching purpose, security issues such as device authentication are not addressed. Web serverand database server will be running on a Linux machine. Since most students are not familiarwith Linux operating systems, they can choose to start the web and database development onWindows and then migrate it to Linux.Devices used in laboratory experiments and the data flow are displayed in Figure 1, whichincludes sensors, ESP8266 WiFi module, Raspberry Pi, and HM 10 BLE module. All devices areprovided by the instructor, except the computer and mobile phone. Table 1 gives a summary oftechnologies covered in

every week for 50 minutes per meeting. While the official coursedescription states that it consists of three weekly lectures with no laboratory components, theinstructor lectures twice a week while reserving the third class meeting for an active learning inclass project session where students implement the concepts they have learned about in the twolectures in that week.The student performance will be assessed via three different categories: 1. Weekly assignments: every week, students will be given homework problems pertaining to the lecture contents. In addition, students will have to implement a programming assignment during the third class meeting every week. Students will submit a weekly assignment including the solved

They were able to report severalbest practices from their experience. Suggestions for successful peer mentorship programsinclude recruiting excellent former students, assigning mentors at a laboratory (TA) level,gathering regular updates from mentors, and providing
