You would have to repeat the experimenttomorrow again. You feel demotivated and frustrated. Watch the following video on dealing withobstacles (the video link was provided to students [5]). How would you respond to your failedexperiment? Write your response in your own words (maximum 150 words), based on the lessonsfrom the video.” The group research presentation provided students the opportunity to not only learn about theapplications of the course contents in advanced research areas but also receive the professor’sfeedback to improve the quality of their presentations before the

tryexperimenting with other AI-powered techniques that are likely to become more common inengineering education and higher education at large.IntroductionThe rise of ChatGPT, and other generative AI tools, has led to a number of debates in educationas to what this means for teaching and learning. From early on in its release, multiple newsarticles point out the many ways students are using it in classes and how instructors have had toadapt—from changing how and where students write drafts or shifting to oral exams [1], tofocusing on thinking processes or return to pen and paper [2]—and the debate around its use inhigher education has intensified with continued uncertainty.

included their research experience, fieldof study, or the life events that led them to this program. Student choices of topic were diverse,and some created multiple story spines. Most students wrote about the life events that led them tothis program, with many others writing additional story lines about their love of science, thesummer research experience, or aspects of their research project.The incubators were intended to foster a low-stake space for experimenting and practicing.Students had fun creating narratives about familiar topics, while also practicing and developingskills for effective communication. Additionally, students shared their work with each otherduring the incubator sessions helping them to learn from everyone’s experiences

dealt with this issue. In thePrairie View A&M University (PVAMU) Chemical Engineering Department (CHEG), studentswere provided with videos of the instructors describing and displaying lab equipment andperforming the lab experiments for the course. Representative data for the experiments wereprovided to the students for their analysis and they were asked to combine what they learned fromthe video and their analysis of data to write lab reports. While an effective approach under thecircumstances, it lacked the first-person, immersive experience that is crucial to developing deeperknowledge and understanding (Bonasio, 2019). This deficit was an instructional limitation as wasfaculty lack of videography expertise which made the remote

Teams are alsoasked to prepare a plan for each of the two projects (dynamics and process control) and tomonitor each plan weekly. Peer grading and assessment is included at the end of both projects.Students deliver a self-assessment report at the end of the course with data on weekly timeinvestment, main contributions, peer assessment, areas for improvement, and self-grade [14].Assignments.Student teams submit a comprehensive report at the end of each project. The report includes: (a) introduction to the industrial applications related to the experiment, (b) description of the laboratory process and

Several participants expressed the value that CEE was auseful source of ideas for lessons, courses, and programs that faculty members can use ininstruction and share with colleagues. They also expressed the belief that the journal, as a peer-reviewed resource for content that is specific to the discipline, is used in practice, citing that, “itserves a really important role as both a research and a practice journal.” In addition, they

In total, 99 alumni have beenlisted in the project, with 82 considered active as they have not canceled their participation andhave replied to emails in the last two years. As it can be noted, most of the alumni nominated asa “family relative” do not remain active after helping with their first assignment. In addition,most of the alumni nominated by students as “friend” are generally older peers, graduating one tothree years before. These alumni have
