eventual goal of ABET accreditation.The biggest limitation of the new program was space. Engineering is a hands-on discipline fullof lab- and project-based courses that require dedicated lab space, appropriate lab equipment, aworkshop with appropriate fabrication tools, computer labs with engineering software, studentproject “dirty floor” space, and faculty and staff office space. When the program launched in2013, the only dedicated space for Engineering was two faculty offices. An introductory designlab was held in a Physical and Chemical Sciences non-majors laboratory space, which offeredlittle in the way of fabrication tools or storage space for design projects. A MATLABprogramming course was held in a general computing lab on which the

Additionally, due to his training and experience, he is responsible for developing innovative educational programs integrating cutting-edge technology and active learning methodologies in STEM. Lastly, his interest in improving the teaching-learning process leads him to engage in educational research projects in collaboration with faculty from his university and other academic institutions.Prof. Angeles Dominguez, Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico; Universidad Andres Bello, Chile.

genres were identified and segmented by topical chain; eachtopical chain will be, hereafter, referred to as an “instance.” The instances were coded using a setof learning goals and shared values related to writing, hereafter referred to as “Learning Goals,”which are under by the Writing Across Engineering and Science (WAES) project(https://publish.illinois.edu/waes/) and are informed by conversations with the department beingstudied here. The Learning Goals framework highlights both skills valued by STEM faculty aswell as habits and mindsets that promote better technical writing. Among the skills covered bythe Learning Goals are values of precision and clarity, which were prominent in a survey ofengineering faculty (for details of the survey
. The ADALM 1000 is aUSB-powered educational device that is been used to teach Ohm’s Law and other basic electricalengineering topics. The ADALM 1000 was specifically used for several projects because of itsmultipurpose function. When combined with ALICE (A Learning Interface for CircuitExploration) software, students may create signals, measure voltages, and see real-time circuitbehaviors, which makes hands-on learning easier (Figure 5). The ADALM 1000 can be used tomeasure the currents that arise from applying various voltages across a resistor in an Ohm’s Lawexperiment. Plotting these measurements helps students better comprehend electrical resistance byallowing them to see the linear relationship between voltage and current, as stated in

Therefore, this studyaims to analyze students' perceptions regarding developing a quarterly electricity andmagnetism course for an engineering program tailored to working students and deliveredonline.Previous studiesVergara & Zavala [7] studied the perception of a group of engineering students in an onlineevening modality for working students regarding flipped classroom materials provided forthem to prepare for synchronous sessions. Although these materials were generally well-received and evaluated positively, the students did not usually watch
