practice-based learning activities into the introductorycircuits course for non-majors did not have a significant effect on students’ conceptualunderstanding or motivation. Specifically, the PBLAs did not seem to benefit or increase students’knowledge of circuits concepts, their confidence in their own abilities to understand and apply thoseconcepts, nor their satisfaction with learning and mastering them. Moreover, the PBLAs may haveeven reduced how relevant students perceived the circuits concepts they were learning in class to beto their other studies, to their eventual careers, and to everyday life. To situate these findings within the context of existing literature on PBLAs, many previousstudies on the topic espouse a variety of ways

This was intended to award credit for time and effort,and not just for accuracy, thereby supporting both intuitive and repetition-based learning modalities instudents. Text instructions for the homework assignments are provided in Table 1 below. In prior offeringsof the course, the same list of homework problems was used, but given as a “master list” of problems byunit with less direct tie to the content of the day and the in-class example problems. Before the lecture,students could turn in a pre-read assignment to earn “bonus” points toward their homework

Her work uncovers how mastering oral communication can empower individuals to assert their ideas confidently and navigate professional interactions more effectively. This focus on agency around communication aligns seamlessly with her broader mission to equip engineers not just with technical skills but with the leadership, mentorship, and communication competencies essential for driving innovation and fostering inclusive growth in the field. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025

By scaffolding the research process,students have multiple opportunities to practice analyzing primary and secondary sources forcredibility, position, perspective, and relevance. The combination of experiential and place-basedlearning provides motivation and context for the course content, and the process becomes amechanism for mastering the learning objectives as described in [7].

misconceptions among engineeringstudents in foundational STEM courses, focusing on physics concepts assessed through the ForceConcept Inventory (FCI). Misconceptions, defined as systematic and deeply rooted alternativeunderstandings, hinder students’ ability to master complex topics and apply knowledgeeffectively. Traditional models such as Item Response Theory and Cognitive Diagnostic Modelsare limited in their ability to track misconceptions over time, failing to capture how theseerroneous beliefs evolve or persist across assessments. To address this gap, we employ aTransition Diagnostic Classification Model (TDCM) that incorporates a Q-matrix to mapmisconceptions to test items and monitor their transitions as distinct cognitive attributes

. Institutions in allcategories are represented among those who offer general engineering programs, with the highestpercentage identified as master’s institutions. While it might seem logical to assume that generalengineering programs would be most often located at schools with a focus only on undergraduatedegrees, institutions who have a significant graduate education component (those focused onproviding doctoral, professional, and masters-level degrees) offer 84% of general engineeringprograms. Baccalaureate institutions comprise only 14% of the total.

adoption of OERsamong faculty. In addition, the learning curve and time-consuming of OER teaching are amongthe barriers [17]. 2023 ASEE Middle Atlantic Section ConferenceThe complexity of switching to OERs is another reason. There are too many types of OERmaterials the faculties need to learn, and master compared to traditional teaching. Plus, the qualityand efficacy of the OER materials are also questionable to them.Not only the faculties but also the students have trouble adapting to the OERs. Some first-yearcollege students may have difficulty managing their time, which leads to a lack of time to preparefor the lectures and review the content after the class. It is not necessarily caused by the OERmaterials, but
