their respective teaching approach and howthis would impact student satisfaction. We also suggest investigating learning more directlyrather than the perception of learning as some students may not be able to accurately gauge theirown learning. Perception of learning is important for student persistence, but actual studentlearning is important for mastering prerequisite skills needed in future classes and work. Our study has a few limitations worth considering. First, instructors choose the approachthey used, and all sections taught by that instructor used the same approach. Therefore, wecannot parse out the impacts of instructor personality or teaching style from the impacts of theapproach. Second, this study focused on the second 8

The other criteria vary by commission, andoften by the type of program being accredited.3.1.1 Criterion 3, Student OutcomesABET defines Student Outcomes as what students are expected to know and be able to do bythe time of graduation. Student Outcomes thus relate to the knowledge, skills, and behaviorsthat students acquire as they progress through the program. Table 2 lists the five outcomes thatAssociate’s Cybersecurity programs seeking ABET accreditation need to adopt.These Student Outcomes must be publicly stated, typically on a program’s website and in in-stitutional catalogs.

In addition to Teams,some faculty used other resources such as Zoom and Slack for offering class sessions. Studentsfamiliar with these tools enjoyed the transition to these platforms.

The modules interleave content, video and practice which gives the studentsthe opportunity to check their understanding by performing low-stakes assessments that are inthe same format as the summative module quizzes. The practice is typically presented in theformat of an online quiz. Some practice questions present new concepts directly in the question,like the ‘hotspot’ instrument question shown in Figure 3a. Others use randomized parametersthat allow for unlimited attempts. Formative feedback is provided immediately upon completionto help the students master a concept (Figure 3b).

scanning technology to construction engineering studentsis the high cost of the hardware and software. However, as the cost gradually went downthrough continuous innovation, this relatively new technology gradually attracted instructors’attention who eventually attempted to introduce laser scanning to their coursework [7].Practitioners also began to recruit competent profesionals who can master this newtechnology. It is beneficial to create a rich visual learning environment that allows students tomaster the laser scanning technology for. For example, an instructor at the constructionmanagement program at Southern Polytechnic State University has taught students how toperform structural analysis and geometric modeling using laser scanning

The remote communication software and appsare provided to the students to facilitate their collaborations. The robots are equipped with sensorsthat are integrated into the wireless network to enable remote data exchanging. To introduce theproposed practice in detail, a project of a smart robot car based on IoT is taken as an instance. Theproject used the IoT-ready wireless sensor and actuator framework to enable remote collaboration.After the implementation of the projects, the students can increase the immersive feeling in theremote classes, and then, help them to master the
prominent categoriesof challenges: self-directed learning and teamwork and communication [19].In terms of self-directed learning, for example, participants highlighted the ways in which theyhad to continually master new technical knowledge for their capstone project as critical in theirability to navigate the technical learning they had to undertake in their new industries [21].Moreover, the ability to reach out to experts (vendors, clients, researchers) they developed intheir capstone projects served them well in workplaces where the knowledge they needed mostoften resided with other individuals rather than on the internet or in a textbook [20, 21].With respect to teamwork and communication, participants noted their preparation in specificgenres

In the end,I was able to demonstrate the solution to these problems by assessing, sizing components, anddesigning a solar power system to be used in a real-world scenario.In addition to the engineering lessons, I was able to learn different technical and professionalskills and techniques in the application of Off-Grid solar power systems in remote areas. Duringthis course, I was able to master the use of software called PVGIS [17], used for estimating solarpower irradiation and its fluctuation throughout the year.

course consists of two contact hours of lecture andtwo contact hours of lab. During the course, students gain knowledge and develop problem-solvingskills in CIM starting with discrete process controls (digital logic circuits), sensors (digital andanalog), actuators (electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic), and relays. Then, through many examples,exercises, and laboratory projects, students master both physical relay ladder logic andprogrammable logic controllers’ (PLC) ladder logic. Students are also exposed to industrialrobotics, computer-numerical controls (CNC), and additive manufacturing.The four sets of lab design projects comprising the laboratory portion of the course are heavilydependent on modern technology.

Thesetags included the discipline of the course under study, the types of TAs utilized, and whether ornot the article specifically described a first-year engineering course. Throughout this SLRprocess, quality checks were performed to ensure inter-rater reliability and effectiveness ofinclusion and exclusion criteria. The end result of the SLR process was a master list of 710articles which met all the inclusion criteria, did not meet the exclusion criteria, and were taggedaccording to article type. From the resulting 710 articles, 42 of them were tagged as being FYETA articles.To assess the prevalence of personality
