resources – programfunding, lab and classroom space, equipment, software, etc. New programs must also buildawareness and connections with the local community, industry, and government to attractstudents, offer meaningful learning experiences, and build job placement pipelines. In addition,they must ensure they conform with and enhance the educational mission of the colleges they arepart of. While this can impose limiting curricular constraints, it can also be seen as anopportunity to develop a unique educational product. In 2013, Saint Vincent College (a smallcollege with a strong liberal arts and sciences focus) initiated a four-year bachelor's degree inengineering science after several years of planning. In the decade since that time, the

Education Research Council . ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Perception Study of an Online Electricity and Magnetism Course for Working StudentsAbstractTeaching basic sciences to engineering students online, specifically for "working students,"presents a unique challenge. It is contentious whether the conventional method ofinstruction employed in traditional daytime undergraduate programs is the most suitable forsuch a diverse group of students. Working students have limited time and energy due towork and family commitments, weak mathematical and conceptual foundations, and, formost of them, no plans for postgraduate studies or scientific research. This study

intricate problems that maybe challenging for typical algorithms in the traditional engineering curriculum. With theexplosive proliferation of embedded systems, and the IoT, controlling complex actuators andsensors in real time is increasingly feasible. Many engineering applications generate vastamounts of data, and deep learning algorithms are effective at recognizing patterns andextracting meaningful insights from these large datasets [5]. Thus, an appreciation of deeplearning methods will contribute to better engineering decision-making processes [6]. Inaddition, deep learning enables better automation, optimization, and control [7]. From designoptimization to production planning, engineers can leverage deep learning to streamlineworkflows and

; they are responsible for planning, researching, and completing their projects. This canhelp them develop important self-directed learning skills.A spirometer serves as a vital medical tool for measuring lung function, essential in the diagnosisand monitoring of conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.However, conventional volumetric spirometers face a limitation—they lack a systematic approachto tracking and controlling progress in lung strength. This is particularly crucial as patients withvaried conditions require different levels of exercise and monitoring.In response to this challenge, our focus is on developing a cost-effective and user-friendly digitalspirometer.

Students learn about the dangers of working with electricalAC and DC currents that can flow through the body. They are advised to be extremely cautiouswhile working on these circuits. A hard copy of the effects of AC and DC currents from theIEEE standard on page 17 in [12] is given to students in the

students involved, the programming project has provided valuable newinsights. These range from organizational points, such as holding meetings and coordinatingcollaborative work on a program, up to decisions to be made as a team. It was a surprisingrealization for the students that even in such a small team, it can be difficult to agree on timesfor meetings or joint work. Making joint decisions was also a hurdle at the beginning, ascompromises often had to be found. In addition, it turned out that it is worthwhile to investtime in careful analysis and good planning, as well as in good documentation and extensiveannotation of the program code.Gaining knowledge through joint problem analysis was also part of the learning experience.For example, in

This is at least the second time the students have taken thiscourse. The workshops were designed to offer an alternative teaching-learning strategy for thestudents. Since students who repeat a course tend to miss classes under the assumption that theyhave already seen or done the activities of the workshops, teachers and designers planned theactivities using a teaching strategy (modified ILD) and incorporated technology (Phetsimulations) to make the physics course more engaging for the students [15].The innovative design was based on a positive
