significantemployee benefit. All of these positive factors contribute to the persistence and desirability ofonline courses. There are also challenges to online learning, and these challenges are whatmotivates the desire to increase engagement. Even more so, the past two and a half years havemotivated many universities to temporarily transition from traditional in-person instruction tomostly virtual instruction. This transition involved developing new approaches to pedagogy aswell as student assessment. During this same time period, there has been an unprecedented growthin student usage of online support materials and support services. This paper focuses on howVirginia Tech, a large mid-Atlantic university is developing a signals and systems course in online

large mid-Atlantic institution. As described at 2023 ASEE Annual Meeting, we spentthe past few years increasing the response rate to the end-of-course survey and aim in the longerterm to increase the proportion of students who self-report their attainment of the course learningobjectives as either “Good” or “Excellent.” After reflecting upon these results and learning lessonsfrom previous course offerings, we are now introducing strategies to increase student engagementfurther and attain department metrics for the course. Starting in Fall 2023, 13 activities wereintroduced to improve the course. The activities can be grouped into three categories: (A)Demonstrating the worth of the course to the students; (B) Making class fun; and (C

attendance and quiz completion in subsequent weeks (after a missed quiz or class).IntroductionThis paper discusses interactions with students and career advisors in a sophomore-level signalsand systems course in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at VirginiaPolytechnic Institute & State University, a large mid-Atlantic university, that is designated by theNational Science Foundation as a minority-serving institution. The course has been offered eachsemester since Spring 2021 (Spring 2021, Fall 2021, Spring 2022, Fall 2022, Spring 2023, Fall2023, and Spring 2024) [1]. This paper aims to describe interactions with students’ academicadvisors in a sophomore level Signals and Systems course and how asking the faculty

a few recommendationsfor effective AI integration, setting the stage for future work in designing comprehensiveinterdisciplinary engineering education models.The latter parts of this study are organised as follows: section 2 will analyze the present AI-infused undergraduate programs at four Canadian universities. In Section 3, we will adoptTASKS framework to analyze the students’ perceived tasks given in these programs of pursuit,their affects (motivation and stresses) towards the programs, the skills they are going to achieveand the earlier knowledge they must have to successfully complete the programs. In section 4,we will present the results and issues found in these curricula and discuss the strategies to betaken for successful AI
