The construction site visitsare a fundamental tool in the development of the competencies that the university is tryingto develop in the students.It is also necessary that the students identify the reason why, the designs that come from astructural analysis, must be feasible to be constructed and adapted to the available systems,tools and procedures in

Despite being aradical departure from typical engineering curricula, the course was very successful in attractinga diverse group of graduate and undergraduate students, particularly women studyingengineering. One of the key outcomes of the course was the recognition by students of theaesthetic value of fluid physics and the motivation it provided for life-long learning.Course Objectives and DescriptionThis course offers a unique blend of scientific and artistic techniques for visualizing fluid flowsin the laboratory and in everyday life. Through hands-on exploration, students learn to use dyesand particles to create visual representations of the physics of fluid flow. They also gain

Fenner andO'Neill [10] had similar results from a project aimed at improving engineering students' abilitiesto analyze, interpret and communicate data. Their study found that engineering students in alinear circuits laboratory collected experimental data correctly but frequently failed to synthesizeand summarize the findings. Hadley and Oyetunji [11] found that engineering students maypossess the mathematical procedural knowledge associated with numeracy but are notnecessarily able to employ these skills in specific engineering contexts. While this researchexplores the QL of engineering students, no current instruments are specifically designed tomeasure the QL of engineering students.This work-in

, testing its movements, andpicking up/dropping off/transporting objects using the Workcell. The laboratory work wascarried out by the students in groups of two. The school of engineering provided completesupport in terms of equipment and software required for the program.The weekly plans of the robotics program are shown in Table 2. Students worked onAutonomous Vehicle for four times (12 hours), Robotics modeling for five labs (15 hours), andeight labs for VEX Robot (24 hours). One of the challenging factors that we encountered wasfaculty involvement. Since the participating faculty already had a full teaching load during theSummer, it was difficult to arrange lab content in a way that was both meaningful and coherent.As a result, the program
is what the traditional classroom is based on [4]. Interactive strategies arebased around class discussion and group assignments. Students are forced to interact with eachother and the instructor in figuring out the task or concept at hand. This method promotes activelearning and is heavily relied on in the flipped classroom model. Individualized strategies run offthe notion that students learn at different paces, and these strategies are heavily based onprogress in sequential steps. Experiential strategies involve putting a student in the field orsimulated environment that is similar to the environment they could potentially be working in.This type of strategy is very common when it comes to internships, laboratory settings
institutions and ensure the most up-to-date approaches andterminology are being communicated to students. This document can also help identify gaps andguide the use of resources for developing new research, partnerships, courses, etc.The structure and form of the program can then be addressed to best meet the stated mission,values, and outcomes. Creating a structure where students all take the same introductory course,have the opportunity to choose from a variety of courses and community-engaged experiences,and finally complete a year-long community engaged project allows students to build skillsthrough a supportive curriculum. These opportunities are supplemented with several studentorganizations and a recently-developed applied research laboratory

digital infrastructure,synchronous CSCL-scenarios eliminate spatial distance between collaborators [9]. This allows toestablish joint courses between departments or universities or to involve lecturers or experts fromindustry, regardless of their location while reducing travel expense to a minimum [9]. Similarly,this approach expands the application of modern methods for distance learning in engineering,such as remote laboratories [9].According Theory of Media Synchronicity (TMS) [10], the key to effective use of media (rangingfrom FTF to various ICT) is to match its capabilities to the group task to be executed. For this,TMS distinguishes capabilities of a specific media with the five factors (1) immediacy offeedback, (2) parallelism, (3) symbol
coursematerial, leading to a range of beneficial learning outcomes. Active learning has been found tolead to improved academic performance in both the retention and application of material[10],[14],[15]. In one study [15], instructors saw that reinforcing audio-visual lectures with anactive laboratory exercise for additive manufacturing improved not only the technicalperformance of groups in a bracket design challenge, but also their creativity in designing asolution. In addition to improving objective academic performance, the incorporation of activelearning has been found to improve student experience and self-efficacy [11],[16]. Studies haveshown that the integration of practical design/technical activities within a course have led tohigher student
traditional structure of lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions. Mostof the program courses are taught in person during the days, in the evenings on the main campus,or in the evenings at the Fort Campbell Center. A number of studies [8], [9], [10] reported that atleast a direct assessment tool is needed to ensure developmental and learning benefits of thestudents in ET demonstrating the workplace competencies. In line with the assessment objective,the University’s administration and faculty practice various assessment tools to ensure that theconstituents they serve are meeting their personal and professional goals upon graduation.Assessment [11] is the systematic collection and analysis of data to advance student learning.Program assessment [12
toname two accomplishments after participating in a REU, the result was an increased level ofconfidence and an increased appreciation for research. These answers, as well as previouslycollected data, suggest a daily laboratory experience for undergraduate students is necessary fordevelopment of engineering identity and research self-efficacy [5]. Daily laboratory experience issomething the REU can provide since participants would be carrying out original research whileworking on their project each day. Since the REU gives engineering students experience in theircareer paths, it also gives them a taste of what graduate school would be like and has indirectlyled to an increase in positive attitude towards graduate school as well as graduate

The MUSIC Model asserts that student motivation to learn—i.e., to engage with learningactivities—can be explained through five empirically investigable variables, each derived from other theories ofmotivation in educational psychology literature, described in Table 1.

.” Q24One of the women also studying at the CS who changed her schools mentioned that the moreintellectual the school environment, the more equality it possesses. Other participants of theinterview, who do not have STEM specialists in their family, mentioned an example of howthe schools’ extra-curricular activities, such as laboratory visits and career orientation testswere carried out. One of them even had a chance to talk to a professional in her field on acareer orientation course (Q25). “My school provided professional orientation sessions to help us decide with the field of study.” Q26It is also necessary to highlight university activities as well as representatives of the facultywho help and encourage their students both in academic and
giving students more autonomy in choosing topics fordebate and their final papers [34]. The authors describe how these changes helped students feelmore comfortable addressing the uncomfortable or challenging topics required by the course.Most recently, in 2022, Reynante [33] described an introductory and laboratory course aimed atengaging engineering students in projects with community partners to shift students' mindsetsfrom uncritical, deficit-based, design-for-charity mindsets towards a critical, asset-based design-for justice mindset. In this project, students were challenged to address the issue of affordablelighting in a rural village in the Philippines. Students’ experiences in the course were analyzed inalignment with the Engineering for
