For the quantitative questions, a 7-point Likert scale with a rankordering from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree” was employed. The survey includedquestions about the students’ experiences and opinions with respect to “story problems” (the termused as it is more familiar to our students than “word problems”), and their views on the degree towhich the various tasks within the Jim’s Donut Shop assignment related to real-world situations.In Fall 2022 there were three sections of the course offered with a total enrollment of 78 students;from these students, 66

for engineering students [15]. The goal of this project is to develop high-impact online lab teaching practices and to testtheir effectiveness of them. Accordingly, during the two long semesters in 2022, we tested ourinnovative online lab teaching strategies in the laboratory sessions with the following activelearning strategies in the laboratory sessions by a) developing and implementing open-endeddesign experiences into lab work, b) establishing teamwork in online labs, c) creating an onlinelearning community and to overcome isolation, and d) incorporating pre-lab simulations and pre-lab video demonstrations. These core lab learning strategies were applied in five EE courses:Circuits, Electronics I & II, Microcomputers, and

This study analyzes five semi- structured interviews with international electrical and computer engineering students at Purdue University to identify the unique challenges they face due to their international status, how they persist despite the challenges, and what engineering schools

Prior analysis[5] indicates that RAD focuses on “incremental prototyping” of user-centric design that can bequickly released by small, yet diverse teams of developers, data architects, and solutionsdesigners, among others. Originated by James Martin in the early 1990s, RAD consists of“requirements planning, user design, construction, and cutover” [6].

The production of forty hours of video materials for the class was an enormousinvestment of time and effort. This class was only one of a number across the country that had todevelop these materials. The challenge is to decide how they to be used going forward. Thispaper recommends that this material and others at other schools be reviewed for best practicesand value. These materials would then ideally be available from the ASEE EngineeringEconomics division on a non-commercial basis. Individual instructors would be able to sharethese materials and tailor them to their specific program
