The proposed VR teaching modules allow students 1) to experience the senseof being present in a virtual queuing system environment that is representative of a real-worldengineering situation, 2) to expand their natural perceptive abilities and authentic experience, and3) to eliminate the need to deal with any expensive equipment or risky environments to understandthe application of queuing theory. The purpose of the research is to investigate how well studentsgained conceptual knowledge of queuing theory using the developed VR teaching module.Queueing theory is defined as the mathematical study of waiting lines. In this study students wereprovided a conceptual queuing theory quiz after the VR teaching module, and then they

interview data from educators who did not perceiveany significant challenges also sheds light on the circumstances and strategies that facilitateeffective ESI instruction.IntroductionEthics has been recognized as an important part of engineering education and professionalresponsibility. The inclusion in accreditation criteria [1] and professional codes [2] providesan impetus for fostering ethical awareness and judgment. In a systematic literature reviewof engineering ethics education articles, Hess and Fore found that 65% of the interventionswere justified or motivated by ABET accreditation [3]. Despite its importance, there are anumber of “systemic barriers to effective ethics education” [4, p. 346]. One challenge is alack of student engagement

However, MOOC virtual environments presents unique challenges for bothinstructors and learners. One of these challenges is the lack of face-to-face interaction, whichaffects how learners engage with one another and with the instruction team. From aconstructivist perspective, this is problematic because social interaction and communication arevital to meaningful learning [1]. Communication is also necessary for instructors to answerquestions, clarify concepts, and guide learners through their knowledge construction.In order to facilitate social interaction and communication, MOOCs often use discussion forumswhere learners can

In contrast to larger programmatic implementations, these small-scale modulesare lower in cost and complexity, but also tend to focus on fewer aspects of entrepreneurship andare not necessarily reinforced by the surrounding course content.This paper discusses the implementation of a number of engineering entrepreneurship exercisesand activities into a mechanical engineering senior capstone course sequence.

Time-critical sections, such as interrupt service routines or frequently-executed loop,often benefit from optimization in an assembly language.While some textbooks present assembly without reference to higher-level languages, a commonpedagogical approach consists of teaching students to translate from C to assembly [2] [3] [4] forseveral reasons.

learning in bothprograms.IntroductionThis evidence-based practice paper outlines how to implement aspects of kinesthetic learningeffectively in the classroom through an ”escape room” activity for small-sized engineeringprograms.In today’s engineering classrooms, students are often sedentary for the majority of the classperiod. Learning usually occurs visually, auditorily or through reading and writing. Even asactive learning such as a class discussion is going on students are sitting in their seats. However,some students may require movement of some form in order to learn which can also be known askinesthetic learning. VARK (Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic) is one approach used tocategorize these different types of learning styles [1
