Through the use of technology, hybrid learning courses allow students to learn newconcepts on their own outside of the classroom and then physically come to class to get theirquestions answered and engage in various discussions [4]. Furthermore, there is additionalstudent engagement as they are able to actually meet with the instructors of the course as well astheir peers in the class. Webb et. al. [5] studied the hybrid teaching model and found thatstudents in the hybrid class performed just as well as their peers in a traditional classroom. Webbconcluded that hybrid teaching can provide the benefits of both online and face-to-face classes.3. CS1 course detailsOur CS1 course is

The course utilizes a design-build-test-communicate framework with theuse of peer mentors [1, 2] to coach students through what is often their first team-based course intheir post-secondary education [3, 4].In the design of ROVs, the science of hydrodynamics

Due to their effectiveness, hands-on design projects areimplemented in numerous design courses across the world [3].Using 3D printing as an option allows students a technical method to prototype that is moreadvanced than simple low-fidelity models, but also safer and more accessible than constructingprototypes in a machine shop. As a result, 3D printing is used in a variety of design coursesincluding high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels of STEM education [4-6].Incorporating 3D printing into a course allows students to build upon critical thinking andproblem solving, as well as increasing writing and speaking skills [4].

In contrast to undergraduate engineering students who predominantlytake classes, however, senior doctoral and post-doctoral engineering students spend the majorityof their time in a “lab” environment—i.e., the environment of the research group, whethercomputational or experimental. Therefore, to create a warmer climate for these students andmitigate the drastic drop-off of women from doctoral programs to faculty positions, here wefocus on promoting a more inclusive lab culture.The pervasiveness of sexual

This was reinforced in 1957 by a government edict that extendedthe idea of compulsory liberal studies to all levels of technical education even though muchof it was part time study [5]. By 1962 it was seen that the development of literacy, that is theability to read and write, was essential for the general education of all students.
