These interactionsrelated to graded events may introduce the possibility to improve student performance andengagement in the course. The Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineeringsupplied the template to use in corresponding with the academic advisors. The weekly interactionswere offered by one instructor of the base course for six semesters from Spring 2021 to Fall 2023(and we aim to continue in future semesters). As part of the teaching, starting in Spring 2022, thedepartment asked the base course instructors to send emails to students who did not completegraded events using a template, and to copy each student’s undergraduate academic and careeradvisor on the

This paper summarizes the effort of a probability course instructor in spring 2022 and spring2023 semesters to actively involve students in their own learning process and enhance the teachingand learning effectiveness. More than half of the students enrolled in this course are working eitherfull time or part time. Therefore, the goal is to design a pedagogical framework with materials andstrategies to efficiently engage them before, during, and after lecture, but not overwhelm themwith too much workload. The strategies explored include the following: 1) Encouragingparticipation and feedback. Participation credits are added encompassing both

The results are shown in Figure 2 which shows the student self-reportedachievement of ECE2714 learning objectives in Spring 2021, Fall 2021, Spring 2022, Fall 2022,Spring 2023, and Fall 2023.

We also attempt to examine the awareness of the integration ofDEI practices in the classroom regarding values and norms for classroom engagement andarticulation of DEI-related policies such as inclusive statements. Other areas that also requireattention are the limitations of time to spend on developing course materials to facilitate DEI inthe classroom, and more importantly, access to and eagerness to participate in DEI professionaldevelopment events and training.

To study how the same student cohortreacts to different class meeting modes of the same subject, we study the students’ perception ofthe change in teaching mode, from in-person to online, during the offering of a feedback controlcourse in the summer of 2022. In that semester, with the same body of enrolled students, we taughtthe first half of the semester in-person and the second half online. We fixed the class activities andteaching pedagogy throughout the semester. We compared students’ scores, participation rate, andattendance rate in the in-person modules vs their scores in the online modules

As every student is likely working on a differenttopic/assignment/exam from the person next to them, it is a form of controlled chaos.ResultsThe programming languages course had 52 students in 2021 (pre-TfM) and 47 in 2022 (withTfM). Both semesters were flipped classroom with out of class lecture videos and videoquestions. Both had daily in-class activities and weekly lab periods.

Engineering Education, 2024 A Semiconductor Knowledge and Literacy Test for High School and Community College TeachersIntroductionIn recent years, the shortage of semiconductors has grown to be a worldwide issue. The first signof shortage appeared during the COVID-19 pandemic when the extended lockdown disruptedchip production. Meanwhile, the demand for computer chips increased as more people shifted toremote working. The chip shortage also revealed our country’s dependency on foreignmanufacturing, which soon became a geopolitical issue that involved supply chain resiliency andnational security concerns [1]. As a result, the US government introduced the 2022 Chips andScience Act to boost domestic semiconductor production
