When instructional conditions changedue to institutional, national, or global crisis, students are prone to be increasingly disconnectedfrom their peers, instructors, and institutions [1]. Changes in peer-to-peer connections andinstructor availability consequently compromise learning community facilitation. The purpose ofthis study was to analyze trends in learning community facilitation before, during, and after adisruption, as indicated in course syllabi.BackgroundLearning Community Presence in Higher EducationA learning community is defined here as a system wherein there are opportunities for opencommunication and collaboration between students

Engineering Education, 2024 Industry Perspectives on Professional and Design Skills of Bioengineering Senior StudentsAbstractProfessional and design skill development is an essential part of engineering education [1], yet,according to industry feedback, many students struggle to satisfactorily develop these skillsduring their time as undergraduates [2], [3]. Despite numerous approaches to improve students’preparedness for the work environment through academia-industry collaborations (see [4]), theperceptions of industry experts on strengths and weaknesses of current senior engineeringstudents remain widely unspecified in the literature. In this work, we are using a systematicapproach and framework to examine the

The term "sustainability" is one that permeates various fields of study, rangingfrom environmental science to business development. Its versatility and multiple applicationsacross disciplines necessitate a clear and explicit definition to avoid ambiguity and ensureconsistency in our analysis. With this recognition, a definition of sustainability was crafted fromdefinitions available from the widely recognized 1987 United Nations Bruntland Commissiondefinition of sustainability [1] and University of California Los Angeles’s definition ofsustainability present within its publicly available

Each one of us learns the same things differently based onour preferred way of learning. We can learn by building mental models; through feelings,emotions, attitudes; and by physical movements. Based on this, the domains of learning are broadlycategorized as cognitive (knowledge), affective (attitudes), and psychomotor (skills) [1]. Eachdomain of learning focuses on one of three ways the brain can be engaged in learning. Thecognitive domain is focused on mental processes or thinking, the affective domain focuses onfeelings, attitudes, and

Since 1940,when the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and the Association ofAmerican Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) proposed the modern structure of tenure andacademic freedom [1], there have been both proponents and critics of tenure. Proponents arguethat tenure helps ensure that faculty can pursue their work without fear of retribution, includingjob termination, due to controversial ideas or findings. Additionally, they argue that tenure is noteasily earned and granted, and the process of earning tenure helps ensure that those

The use of a learning management system (LMS) has been shown to mitigatechallenges associated with disruptions, prompting researchers to better understand the degree towhich LMS features are used and how they can be used more effectively. This study wasconducted to discover how instructors utilized a LMS before, during, and after a disruption.Findings from this study can be used by policy makers and educators to plan how best to useLMS features given

This problem-solving modality iswhat is found in a typical end-of chapter problem set.There have been numerous studies examining these different problem modalities from aninstructional and learning viewpoint.

It is an iterative, creative,decision-making process in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences areapplied to convert resources into solutions. Engineering design involves identifyingopportunities, developing requirements, performing analysis and synthesis, generating multiplesolutions, evaluating solutions against requirements, considering risks, and making trade-offs toobtain a high-quality solution under the given circumstances.
