inclusive, reflective teaching practices on problem solving proficiencyMotivationDevelopment and implementation of inclusive teaching practices is an important educationalmovement [1]. For four years, we worked to implement three inclusive practices: standards-based grading with reflection [2], [3], co-created assessment [3], [4], [5], and peer review [2] ofwritten deliverables in a sophomore-level experimental design laboratory and lecture course.This work focuses on peer review, though it utilizes the former two practices in doing so.Briefly, standards-based grading (SBG) is a formative assessment approach that allows fortracking of objective proficiency throughout the curriculum and allows for just-in-time
classrooms and reaching engineeringprofessionals. While virtual and remote laboratories are not new to engineering education, thereis an increasing need for these alternate methods of teaching due to decreased availability of labtime (from increased undergraduate classes) and the rise of remote higher education programs,such as remote graduate degrees and continuing education [4], [5].In this study, we perform a scoping literature review to explore the tools and labs available toPSET educators. Specifically, we focus on virtual and remote tools that might aid in theeducation of continuing education students and programs with rigid curriculums that do notallow for additional lab time. We were guided by the two following research questions
go beyond the effort of asingle faculty teaching the same lecture course. This choice could conceivably add a small butindeterminable overestimation of faculty teaching loads.If a professor taught multiple sections of the same class, the faculty was attributed credit for theclass multiple times. In contrast, faculty who taught multiple laboratory sections were onlygiven credit for one section. It was found that some departments offer many laboratory sectionsattributable to multiple faculty members, where it’s unclear how workload is divided. So, if eachlab teaching professor was given credit for each lab course they would have a significantlyhigher credit count than their lecturing peers. These choices could respectively overestimate

The system is modelled in VHDL and simulated using Xilinxdesign tools to demonstrate operation of the processor. A basic microcontroller is created byadding memory-mapped input/output (I/O). The system is implemented in hardware on a fieldprogrammable gate array (FPGA). The processor can then be interfaced with peripheral devicesto demonstrate functional applications.A key component of the Computer Architecture course is a student
obstacles is the existence of unconscious and conscious biases in faculty searchprocedures, which put candidates from minoritized identities at a disadvantage (Roper, 2019;Sackett et al., 1991; Steinpreis et al., 1999; Wapman et al., 2022; Wenneras & Wold, 1997; Wu etal., 2023). Such biases may also exist when considering prospective faculty members’qualifications as to their day-to-day responsibilities – teaching, research, and service – which, inmost institutions, involves engaging with people from a wide range of identities in the classroom,in laboratories, and beyond. Thus, DEI-related qualifications such as the ability to employinclusive teaching practices is an important measure of merit for faculty members.Purpose and Research QuestionIt

This field is dedicated to analyzing bodies that are either at rest orin a state of equilibrium, where the net forces and moments are balanced. The pedagogicalapproach to teaching statics commonly encompasses both lectures and laboratory sessions,providing a comprehensive learning experience. Typically introduced at the sophomore level orfirst year engineering projects, this course builds upon the foundational knowledge acquired inintroductory engineering courses i.e. CAD. At this stage, most students may not have delved intomechanical design. However, towards the conclusion of the statics course, an

A study conducted by Zaka et al.[2] in flipped class room teaching found thatstudents universally enjoyed learning independently and appreciated the increased collaborationinduced by the flipped approach. The flexibility of the approach enabled a range of independentlearning and collaboration, and students were able to find learning styles that suited them.Several studies [3] [4] [5] indicated that more benefits include the opportunity to cover morematerial over a short period of time and freeing up more time for active learning, collaboration,critical thinking, problem solving, and deeper understanding of the content.
