For a more in-depth look at the course sequence, consult Monroe et al. (2006) and Lima etal. (2001).ChangesDuring the past 25 years, a number of changes have occurred that have influenced thesecourses. These changes include an increase in student population and interest inbioengineering, ABET accreditation, and increasing collaboration among instructors. Each ofthese changes and the corresponding change in course(s) is discussed below.Changes in population and interests of

The college has departmentallaboratories that are renovated and furnished with state of the art equipment. The college isaccredited by the university through 2018-19 and offers a three-year diploma program, whichadmits 90 students after graduating from high schools. The admissions are based on students’performances in the high school graduation examination, which is a government managed state-wide examination. The main objectives of the diploma program are, 1) to develop competence amongst itsstudents for solving problems related to

interact with each other during the class. The ASMT program in ourdepartment has historically had a heavy emphasis on laboratory activities that are primarilyteam-based. However, in recent years, there has been an increase in the use of team-basedactivities during lecture sessions as well.ConclusionsThis work-in-progress study reveals that ASMT have some similarities with their engineeringcounterparts after our results were compared to those of AE and BE students in a previouslyreported study. However, a stronger focus on relationships and building connections with otherswas observed for ASMT students. Students valued the use of group projects as a way to buildcommunity, and reinforced the idea that classroom management (i.e. facilitating

Purdue, Dr. LaRose serves as a teacher educator,preparing future agricultural educators to meet the needs of a diverse array of learners in their classes. Sheteaches coursework in curriculum design, laboratory teaching practices, and teaching methods in agricul-tural education. Central to all of Dr. LaRose’s work as an educator and a scholar is an effort to addressinequities in agricultural education curriculum, program design, and recruitment practices.

2017 and has been incorporated in all subsequent offerings. During the 2018 offering,CATME was added to help structure student team formation [13] and peer evaluation [14] withinteams. Papers by Christy et al. and Wilson et al. provide further background information aboutthe course [15], [16].To adapt to online learning, in-person lectures were replaced with weekly asynchronous lectureslides, some of which were accompanied by a video or voiceover explanation. Laboratory /recitation time and office hours were held through synchronous video sessions via the Zoomsoftware application. Additionally, all midterm and final exams became take-home, withstudents receiving approximately 36 hours to complete these assignments and submit them to theCanvas
