one new online learning module introduced each week; themodules are structured such that a discussion of the week’s topic is offered first, with a gradedassignment given at the end. Discussion content is shared with students through onlineperiodicals, instructional videos, case studies, and worksheets.The content in each course was curated specifically to address the students’ relevant needs. Thetiming of the course offering in junior year is critical because students are first entering theirspecific discipline at that time: content is focused on developing plans for themselves andidentifying goals. In the senior year course, content is focused on helping students properlyassess full-time job offers and adjust to life beyond college. This

In addition, the objectives are also planned to be assessed throughstudents’ capstone senior projects. But at the time of creation of this work-in-progress paper, thestudents who took this course have not worked on their senior project yet, as a result, this part ofthe assessment is planned to be conducted once the students worked on their senior projects. Toextend and complete this work-in-progress, it

The planning processinvolved in such a transition and its effectiveness was investigated by using themechanical engineering department in a leading R1 university as case-study,where a departmental policy of promoting active learning methods inundergraduate classes was newly implemented. Professors and teaching assistantsinstructing mechanical engineering courses in this college were interviewed tounderstand the steps they went through to transition to using more active methodsof teaching. Data collected from instructors-of-record in 5 different sophomoreand junior level courses revealed their

As shown in table 1 there was some change ineach skill for both genders, however the women had much greater variance betweenfreshman and senior year. The male students did not have any area that changed more than10%, while the women had several.

Assessments need to continually redefine desired outcomes and goals ofsuch programs.Another shortcoming was that the program gave students and faculty a stipend, but it did notprovide any research related expenses. This is potentially limiting for some projects if faculty donot plan for student researchers far enough in advance.Changes that will be made for the upcoming summer program will include faculty sessions toprovide structure and methods for appropriate mentoring. In addition, SURE students will bepaired with a faculty member who is not a part of the research project, serving as a role modeland guide for

The coursewas taught in a traditional in-person format in the 2016 fall semester by the same instructor usingSBSG. The original plan for the hybrid course involved a face-to-face meeting approximatelyonce every two weeks, for approximately two hours (one lecture hour and one recitation hour).However, the instructor found out a few months before the start of the course that she would beout of the

Bypassing the provided and outdated software retiredtogether with the robots by their manufacturers, students now have a greater flexibility to chooseprogramming languages as their preference. Moreover, they can utilize many open source and up-to-date libraries to create their own software to solve vast problems ranging from forward/inversekinematics/dynamics, path planning, to robot vision and learning in a graphical user-friendlyenvironment.

Student engagement calculated for thetotal class registration against the actual number of students present for that day. Actualengagement will be little higher, if the student engagement is computed against the actualnumber of student present in the class. However, it is evident that student engagement andlearning improved, using above method to solve problems through active learning. As a futurework, authors plan to establish a method to measure and present the increased effectiveness ofactive learning in such courses.References[1] Jenny A.

A controlled vocabulary for some of thefacets we identified (such as problem type) would be an asset to have, and may be something todevelop in the future.

The average time to graduation was 9.8 terms, whichis roughly 5 years. As seen in the figure, time to graduation tends to increase as the gradethat they received in these foundational classes decreases. For all courses, ‘A’ studentsgraduated on average in 9.4 terms, which is more than a term longer than Georgia Tech’sME curriculum plan.
