concrete example for other engineering educationresearchers of how Learning Management System (LMS) interaction data from onlineundergraduate engineering courses can be prepared for analysis. We provide the rationale anddetails involved in choices related to data preparation, feature creation, and feature selection aspart of a larger National Science Foundation-funded study dedicated to developing a theoreticalmodel for online undergraduate engineering student persistence. LMS interaction data providesdetails about students’ navigations to and submissions of different course elements includingquizzes, assignments, discussion forums, wiki pages, attachments, modules, the syllabus, thegradebook, and course announcements. The sample dataset presented

levels at the beginning of the proposed experiment. The instructors ensured that the subject matter covered in both learning methods was identical. The online and classroom section of all courses had the same syllabus, textbook, instructor, homework assignments, exams and week by week schedule. Online learning modules for each chapter were made available to the students in-sync with the weekly material prescribed in the syllabus for each course. In the onsite version of each course, the instructor assured keeping pace with the syllabus. The pre-recorded online lectures were not made available to the students in the on-site sections of the courses. Thus the students had the same amount of time to work on homework and

Developer at a cultural institution in his home country, Greece (2000-2011). c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 A Student Engagement Evaluation Methodology Inspired from Usability Engineering for Extracting Course Design RequirementsAbstractMeasuring student engagement inside the classroom and developing techniques forimproving it has been traditionally very challenging for educators. This research paperdescribes a student engagement evaluation model that combined data from three sources: in-class observations using the Behavioral Engagement Related to Instruction (BERI) protocol,one-to-one student interviews, and anonymous online surveys. We tested this model on ahigher-level elective

Computing in Engineering is a course required for all 200 engineering students ata research university in Massachusetts. In the last few years, the course underwent a transitionfrom a large, lecture-based course taught by one professor to several smaller sections taught bydifferent professors, each using their own instructional technique. In the spring of 2019, fourprofessors taught the Introduction to Computing Course using three different instructionalmethods. All courses had the same syllabus goals, outlined in Table 1 below.

high external value through the form of a patent,publication, or peer-reviewed poster presentation. Future work includes collecting data fromfuture iterations of the course, expanding data collection to other universities that will beimplementing this system, and utilizing educational data mining techniques to explore patterns insuccessful/unsuccessful learning objectives. Although more work needs to be done to understandthe best ways to support students while also giving them academic freedom, this work is a step inthe right direction to empower students to innovate and grow as engineers.References [1] ABET, “Criteria for accrediting engineering programs.” [Online].
