the introduction of a new course, MENG 6389 EnergyConversion, in the Summer 2022 semester. This course is an elective requirement for bothundergraduate and graduate programs in mechanical engineering.The objective of introducing this course was two-fold. Firstly, to increase enrollment in thegraduate program by offering a course that appealed to both undergraduate and graduate students.Secondly, to use different teaching techniques to increase participation, create awareness relatedto the importance of energy conversion, improve collaboration among students, developintellectual curiosity of energy applications, and create a chance to listen to industry speakers.Notably, both senior-level undergraduate students and graduate students took the
-class assignment. About half way through the hour long class meeting, studentsbegin trying exam and/or final questions. The instructor goes over incorrect exam and finalquestions with students one-on-one as well. 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. The 2021 (pre-TfM) hadhomeworks, standard exams, and a standard final exam. The 2022 (with TfM) used the in-classassignments, and the one-topic exam and

instructors as we all transitioned a lab course fromtraditional in-person instruction to a virtual experience. The coaches helped to generate mockdata, to replace the in-person data the students would normally get, and uploaded the data to acloud storage device. This was put in place so it was like the students had generated the datathemselves and could proceed with analysis and interpretation. The coaches also served assupport staff during the virtual oral presentations on Zoom in case issues arose with the primaryand secondary instructors. The 2021-2022 academic year found Louisiana State Universityswitching to a hybrid format with limited staffing.

The instructor reviews the submission in conjunction with the grading done byBlackboard.Offering partial credit was implemented in the fall of 2022 with the following observations: (1) Since the participation was optional, about half of the students submitted the documents for partial credit. (2) Among the students who submitted the documents, about half received partial credit based on their detailed work. Others did not because the work did not demonstrate a good understanding of the subject or the calculation was inconsistent with

We also wanted to make them aware of theresources available for them to develop a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) and test in an existing IOTenvironment. Phase 1 is meant to provide the students with the tools they need to innovate and Phase 2is meant to have them apply these tools to solving new problems.In this paper we cover our findings related to Phase 1 of The Amazing Techno Race completed onNovember 16, 2022. 2.2.
