,CE205 had a SFR of 53:1, more than two and a half times the recommended upper limit. Moving the coursefrom a single facilitator to a team-teaching model and splitting the course enrollment into two sectionsbrought the ratio down to 13:1, leaving room for projected continued enrollment growth. A comprehensiveLearning Management System (LMS) page was released at the start of the Spring 2024 semester, and thevalue of visually representing the course structure has been useful in managing the large class. Throughdeliberate reference to the LMS at the beginning of most class sessions, students are encouraged to engagewith the platform frequently and recognize the course design sequence.

Despite advances in engineering education, there is a substantial disconnect betweenengineering education and the practice of engineering, that includes teamwork, collaboration,business and marketing skills in addition to traditional engineering skills [31], [33]. In the ABETCriteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, to prepare engineering students for industry,creativity was highlighted in the engineering curriculum, as a necessary element foraccreditation, where ABET defined engineering design as an iterative process leading to aproduct or solution of the highest possible quality [34].Project-based learning

There are several ways toget students involved in the activities that they can apply knowledge learned in the classrooms tothe real-world prototypes. Student clubs, competitions and projects are an excellent experiencefor students to design, build, test and troubleshoot real world functioning systems.

first-hand the ways in whichgrades are centralized in our students’ educational experiences (positive and negative emotions,focus on points/scores over learning and growth, etc.). Recently we have observed how thecentralization of grades to students’ experiences has negatively impacted their engagement andwork in project-based courses. Students have seemed to procrastinate PBL course work toprioritize other courses, disengage with lessons in class to complete homework for other courses,or even not attend class sessions to study for an upcoming quiz or test in a different subject.When addressing these concerns with students, they often offer explanations that relate to theirneed for a good grade in another course (such as calculus, physics, or

It was required that their concep map include the word“Root Solving” . They were given the freedom to choose their specific methods of focus; they could 3choose from the following words to help make their concept map make sense: Bisection, NewtonRaphson, Secant, loop, False Position
