It can allow students to build connections with peers andnetwork with faculty or other researchers, as well as provide them with the experience of puttingtheir skills to work in the laboratory setting [1][5]. In some instances, the participation ofundergraduate students in research projects leads to a higher percentage of graduating studentsthan those who did not participate [11].Feeling connected and building a community is also a common finding among the programs.Transfer students may feel particularly alone as they begin their new programs [10

Thesesimulations have the advantage of being direct (if often simplified and miniaturized) models ofthe systems in question, allowing tactile learning from manipulating the simulation elements, andfostering face-to-face teamwork by the participating students. The idea of implementing suchsimulations in virtual environments seems promising. Theoretically, these implementationsshould be cheap, easy to implement, and universally available

While open-ended “capstone” design projects are amainstay of engineering curricula, first-year “cornerstone” projects that introduce the designprocess to novice engineering students have recently become more prominent (Sheppard et al.,2009, pp. 84, 91; Vest, 2005; Whitfield et al., 2011; Zajdel & Maharbiz, 2016b).

This is due to two unique factors:(1) ECE students have inherently self-selected—and thus, already anticipated—a curriculum thatexpects them to master electronic and digital devices and environments, and (2) many hands-on,active-learning laboratory activities in ECE involve measurements with instruments nowavailable in miniaturized, mobile, low-cost realizations. Therefore, in the new normal,combinations of online, face-to-face, asynchronous, and synchronous instruction can elevatestudent learning by: ● Using online tech to deliver basic knowledge content (instead of live lectures), freeing up more instructor time to provide personalized coaching with individual students. ● Transferring low-value-added, time-consuming tasks (e.g

However, most existing robotics tools are essentially toys with limited or no practical usage.After completing parts assembly, they are mostly displayed inside the child’s room. Some,not many, are associated with coding, though largely still at a rudimentary level, which maynot lead to comprehensive programming studies.
