laboratory coursesAbstractToday’s engineers need diverse technical communication skills that are not limited to preparingdetailed and long reports. However, classic engineering curricula lack courses that focus on theseskills. Engineering laboratory courses offer a unique opportunity to fill this gap. In this paper, wereview cases reported in science and engineering education literature that cover laboratoryassignments other than traditional lab reports. We discuss the use of modified reports, oralpresentation, poster presentations, and video reports as alternatives to conventional lab reports.Results from multiple studies indicate that, in addition to gaining technical communication skills,preparing alternative forms of lab assignments helps

We note severallimitations on the interpretation of these results, the need to collect more data over time and outlinedifferent courses of action for future improvements to these measures. Overall, from positivesurvey results and anecdotal feedback from teaching staff, we are encouraged to pursue moregamified strategies within our first-year curriculum and beyond.2.

In early 2021, the college applied for and was approved to offer acertificate program in UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) Designs, Applications and Operationsto college students by the Education Department of New York State. Later that year, thecollege also received a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to providetuition-free early higher education for high school students, allowing them to complete themajority of the credits in the UAS certificate
Engineering Education, 2023 Achieving Active Learning through Collaborative Online Lab ExperiencesAbstract In engineering education, laboratory learning that is well aligned with core contentknowledge is instrumental as it plays a significant role in students’ knowledge construction,application, and distribution. Learning in laboratories is interactive in nature, and thereforestudents who learn engineering through online platforms can face many challenges with labs,which were frequently documented during the recent pandemic. To address those reportedchallenges, innovative online lab learning modules were developed and learning strategies wereimplemented in five courses in electrical engineering, Circuits I, Electronics I, Electronics II
