writing, and merit-driven presentations whichinclude project narrative development and application-oriented thinking. We conducted pre- andpost-program surveys and evaluated learning outcomes for each workshop.In the following, we review the structure of our program as well as the goals, content, and outcomesof our workshops and the virtual summer research conference. Lastly, we summarize key learningfrom our students and the program in general.2. Program StructureWe selected 21 mechanical engineering undergraduate students to participate in our 12-weeksummer research program. Students were expected to work for a minimum of 20hrs/week and toparticipate in our workshop series in order to qualify for a program stipend of $1200. The programwas not

: Originally, a final project was designed for multi-disciplinary teams of EE and ME students to work together, involving several skills including circuit and waveform analyses, stress calculation, and heat transfer simulation. The goal was to provide a platform for teams to communicate across disciplines, and to leverage their own technical strength for contribution. However, the project was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the plan will be illustrated for future adoption.Course StructureBased on the design considerations, the course structure can be roughly categorized into thefollowing modules through the semester, as illustrated in Figure 1.

Integration of advanced CAD,FEA, CFD and optimization provide students with hands-on skills, teach them how to work onMultiphysics design projects in a team through synchronous and asynchronous communicationtools, and better prepares them for departmental capstone design series coursework, as well as,numerous technical electives.Introduction Computer aided design (CAD) tools, along with engineering analysis software for finiteelement analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have been increasinglyadvancing over the last several decades. These advancements are occurring not only because ofever-increasing performance of

With support from the National Science Foundation, Stevens Institute ofTechnology began working with cohorts of teaching faculty who teach the core Science, Math andEngineering courses taken by 85% of first year students. Faculty worked together for three yearsto change their instructional practices with the goal to increase the use of active learning andfacilitate development of deep and transferable learning [1].

While providing logical argumentsand an interesting approach Weiman fails to provide analytical justification to his claims.Further, he does not recognize that student assessments are not limited to exams, but that courselearning and assessment can also come from design projects, laboratories, or other collaborativedeliverables. Perhaps written exams might be more suited to assessing fundamentals while moreadvanced concepts are better suited to other assessments.Research Motivation and Methodology The main motivation for conducting this research is based on student feedback fromprevious years and from instructor experience with successful examination techniques from

Experiment-centric pedagogy was used in thisstudy and hands-on laboratory experiments were developed using USB-based measurementdevices. Three experiments were developed for Chemistry namely pH meter, thermochemistry,and spectrophotometry. During pH settlement, the voltage was recorded, and the calibrationcurve drawn using
