Paper ID #35945Impact of student problem creation on self-reported confidence inmechanicsMr. Michael Sekatchev, University of British Columbia Michael Sekatchev is a third-year student at the University of British Columbia, studying Honours Physics. While studying full-time, this past year Michael has been working on an open educational resources (OER) project, a joint effort by UBC’s Mechanical Engineering department and Douglas College to de- velop practice problems for engineering students. He is also currently working at TRIUMF since May 2020 on the Hyper-K experiment, performing a combination of hands-on engineering

c Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Factors Affecting Motivation and Concentration of Engineering Students in ClassroomsIntroductionThis paper examines and presents the factors affecting the motivation and concentration span ofengineering students in classrooms. Our work carries out most of the recommendations of theprevious works but also deviates in the sense that it is studying the motivation of the studentsrather than their concentration span. This project also was conducted pre-pandemic and a long-term goal of this study is to be used to get a better understanding of engineering students in anall-virtual learning system like the one implemented during the pandemic. This project examinesthe

theoretical backbones, while enabling customizations based onthe particular needs of the diverse customers’ groups served, e.g., Smart Grid projects for high-income neighborhoods are likely to be focused on service reliability, whereas for lower-incomeneighborhoods Smart Grid projects can be focused on tariff reduction. 2. Multidimensional Design Based on Philosophy of Technology Holistic Principles The increasing awareness of engineering solutions footprint and impact in social andenvironment aspects, e.g., humanly developed structures currently exceed earth biomass [8]-[9],have motivated the development of novel in-depth analysis seeking to overcome the traditionalbelief that engineering solutions are exclusively focused on the technical

the department have adapted the use of formative andsummative assessments in Fall 2020. The courses and the assessments used in these courses areprovided below.The undergraduate course (part of the capstone experience) previously used a midterm exam, acourse quiz, final exam and a student project for assessment. This course was offered in Fall2020 in a combination of synchronous and asynchronous delivery methods. With the redesign toadapt to the online learning environment, weekly Canvas module quizzes were used as formativeassessments. Although, the formative assessments were low-stake quizzes, the formativeassessments enabled the instructor to assess student learning periodically, identify topics thatstudents struggled with, and address

fewopportunities for prompting engagement and consideration of the human element behind theproducts of technology (Scott & Welch, 2014).Further, according to Mignolo, (2011), the poverty, inequities, commodification, etc. behindprogress and globalization are rarely discussed as the end products and rather are considered asproblems that technology can address. In addition, the field of engineering education isrecognizing the need to challenge students to engage with the intersections between technologyand societal concerns. Mazzurco for instance details the need for greater emphasis on “long termtechnical” considerations, an area that students often omit from view. Such considerations in ahumanitarian engineering (HE) project for example include local

Scores of 3 or lowerwere considered low scores.Case DescriptionsThis case study [29] is part of a larger research project aiming to measure the spatial ability andidentify the spatial strategies used by BLV populations. Annually, thirty participants wererecruited from all areas around the United States for this larger study. The study spanned 5 yearsbut had interruption due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The responses to this question as shown in Table 7 indicated that morethan half of the survey respondents (12/22) had taken more than 3 lower division engineeringcourses required by the program while about 45% do not have the minimum lower divisionengineering courses prior to
