knowledge of MAE student learningexperiences, and some of the work we plan to do on the topic.Literature ReviewHow have student learning experiences been observed? Two of the selected papers appeared to study the types of student learning experiences;one performed an ethnographic study, proposing a “three dimensional view of engineeringlearning” [2], and the other is a review of “learning environments” [3] in engineering education. The goal of the study in [2] most closely aligns with the goal of this review; they argue“for understanding engineering learning with a broader framework” [2] through their framework,“becoming an engineer.” They use person-centered ethnography to determine the context inwhich the people exist and how they

The process occurs during the early fall semester andbegins with distributing marketing materials through various channels to direct interestedstudents to join a listserv. In early fall, returning students host an information session forprospective applicants. Invitations to apply are then sent to all students on the listserv, whetherthey attended the information session or not. The returning students develop the overallrecruiting timeline, plan and conduct the information session, design the application screeningrubric, develop interview protocols, conduct interviews, and make final recommendations fornew recruits to faculty leadership.Once new students are

The order of the deliverables in the table reflectsthe order of submission throughout the semester. Most deliverables are completed by the group asa whole; however, the six digital logbooks and the final exam are completed individually. Thedigital logbooks do not carry a weight toward the final grade, instead they are to encourage theprofessional practice of engineers documenting their work.The instructor also reads the logbooks to assess where students may be struggling or to determineif the distribution

future work, we plan to usedeterministic methods of partner assignment subject to this constraint, perhaps in combinationwith existing team formation software such as CATME.LimitationsOther factors, such as students’ outside relationships with their classmates, use of office hours,and outside resources may have influenced the spread of information through the class.Furthermore, we do not know how the outcome of limited student mixing would compare tomaximizing their connections with other students. For example, if the same two students workedtogether for all four design projects, would their selection remain the same throughout? Futurework should investigate these factors to better determine the impact of team formation.ConclusionSequential team

We anticipate the results will indicate thatcombining PBL with hands-on experiments significantly enhances students’ evidence-basedreasoning, problem-solving skills, and ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practical aerospacescenarios. The analysis of the SAGL data should reveal, for example, that these active

The first iteration had little scaffolding and only a short video that presented theactivity. There were plans to have options for both python and spreadsheet plotting, but at highschool PD events teachers explained that they, as well as the students, need more practice andexperience in both software. Even with limited experience in spreadsheet software, teachersexpressed excitement during the demonstration of the plotting in Google Sheets activity.

Very few programs have developed mature electric propulsion content. Severalpapers reported the plan to include electric propulsion component in maritime powertrain. Forexample, the development of a job-training course model on electric propulsion ships wasintroduced in [10], where the practical training consists of contents to assist the understanding

These studies also unveil anincreased positive attitude toward online assessment methods, highlighting the necessity forpurposeful planning and training to address challenges associated with new tools andscheduling conflicts (Cirit, 2015).In summary, these collective studies emphasize the diverse and evolving landscape ofassessment strategies in education, with a focus on promoting meaningful learningexperiences and adapting to the changing demands of the educational environment.Cumulative AssessmentsCumulative assessments, employed across diverse educational settings, evaluate students' overallunderstanding and retention of knowledge and skills acquired over time.

In Plato’sdialogue, Timaeus, Timaeus is asked to provide an account of how the world came to be as it is.Timaeus argues that the emergence of the universe has followed the non-deterministic plan of theArcheteckton (Master Builder) or Demiurge (Public Worker). These expressions both suggest aMaster Craftsman, a Master Engineer. Timaeus demurs on the specific path taken, claiming thathe can only give a probable account. Clearly, there is freedom in the evolutionary path, but, headds, emphatically, that one thing is for certain, that the emergence of the universe always movesto the Good, moves from each current state to a more desirable future state. Plato’s philosophy was inspired by Pythagoras who gave

Using this information, the students programmed a “Mission Plan” andtried to get their Rover around obstacles to the way points and the destination.Results and AssessmentThis course was taught during the 2017/2018 and the 2018/2019 academic year. The course wasnot initially tagged in the DU course database as an SI-NPW course, so students signed up in Fallrather than Spring for the Fall course. However, this late enrollment worked out well as we wereable to prototype the course for the first year with 25 students rather than having the typical 75 to100 students. The second year, we set the enrolment limit as 75 students and had 76 studentsinitially enrolled. The typical student majors enrolled in these courses were business
students. This presents a real danger to educationin general if students are not prepared to assess the accuracy of the content presented to them inthe answer to a question.When creating questions for assessment, especially assessment that is done outside of class, it isimportant to incorporate higher-level cognitive skills from Bloom’s taxonomy as this decreasesthe chances that students can effectively use ChatGPT to accurately answer the questions. Choiceof distractors also influences the cognitive level of the question and can make it more difficult forChatGPT to answer.The limitations of ChatGPT are particularly concerning when one considers the introduction ofvirtual teaching assistants and the use of ChatGPT to create lesson plans
