New faculty members should ensurethat their syllabi communicate course objectives, learning outcomes, grading criteria, and policiesin a transparent and accessible manner. Providing students with an alternative lecture schedulecan also show an outlining key date for assignments, exams, and other important milestones. Thisclarity enables students to plan their study schedule effectively, manage their time efficiently, andstay on track with coursework.2.1.2 Laboratory Design and real-world connectionDesigning laboratories with stronger connections to real-world examples and theoretical knowledgeinvolves several strategies, including selecting

The MIT model is a “discipline-specificpeer-mediated model” [4]. Two other universities, Brandeis University and Rose-HulmanInstitute of Technology, adapted key aspects of the MIT Comm Lab to their own contexts.Brandeis established a Science Communications Lab for its Division of Science that ispeer-to-peer but discipline-nonspecific, whereas Rose-Hulman installed its Comm Lab within itsMakerspace to emphasize the connection between engineering and communicating.

Changes and reasons for change must be clearlycommunicated to the students as they are stakeholders in the process and need to know whythings change, just as they would in an industry setting to foster support for the change ratherthan frustration.In the future, we plan to distribute assignments as sets of requirements in the PDM system,which students must meet and link their file to, thus introducing the students to additional morecomplex digital thread concepts. The use of the PDM system also enables the integration of otherengineering systems.

Typical andcommon constraints also exist in both universities which can be applicable to other universities.The authors interviewed and listened to other faculty to reconfirm that time is one of the mostimportant constraints in their teaching. In this interview, instructors not only in Electromagneticsbut also in other courses usually experience a lack of time to cover all the planned topics.Specially, the U.S. Air Force has a specialized curriculum to achieve both academic and militarystandards in its education, and the total in-class and out-of-class time seems limited compared toother universities. Therefore, careful and effective class design is highly important to considerthis time constraint. For both

But what is it that motivates or influences a student to decide to participate inone program or activity versus another?
