computationalthinking skills needed to excel in the digital economy. One program that was created as part ofthe President’s initiative was the Research-Practitioner Partnership (RPP) grants issued by theNational Science Foundation. The program has four objectives: 1) develop a connectedcommunity of practice; 2) develop and manage a participant-driven and multi-site researchagenda; 3) convene a researcher evaluator working group to develop a process for advancing theshared-research agenda; and 4) collect qualitative and quantitative data about RPP’simplementation and common impact data. However, there has been no detailed reports or studiesof these funded RPP projects thus making their impacts difficult to observe. Thus, this researchentailed a systematic

as the increasing number of advanced degree programs in engineeringeducation, recognition of engineering education research within a broader network ofresearchers, and the increasing number of funding opportunities in particular through NationalScience Foundation, and external factors such as changes in the ABET criteria. For example,considering the impact of the adopted ABET Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000) within theUnited States, there is no surprise to see students' learning outcomes and learning process as oneof the major research areas between 2006 and 2010. Another major shift was the emphasis on theengineering design process that started along with the changes in ABET criteria and continuesthrough the early 20th century. Its impact

difficultto navigate through the app and complained about designs and other minor issues. Ultimately, theproject was temporarily halted and a new application is currently being designed and developedwith the same objectives. It will only have a different framework and personnel on theproject.The new path for the project includes switching to React Native for cross-platform mobiledevelopment and a goal to create a functional product for evaluation for final exam review.Thischange also follows best practices in app development as described by Wardynski1 and wouldserve all students with a mobile phone 1 . Future plans would include creating a Professorfunctionality that helps the professor see the efforts made by the students and assign grades basedon

different modalities (online, remote aneface-to-face) and deliberately designed online undergraduate Engineering courses and theircounterpart sections in face-to-face and other delivery modes, at a Tier I research university inthe Southwestern United States. Chaney [11] and Lee [12] recognize that most engineeringcourses' highly technical subject matter can be challenging and amplify the need for intentionalcourse design. The curriculum structure is imperative to satisfaction and academic achievement[13], [14], [15]. With the widespread applicability of this mixed-method, exploratory case studyto other courses within the engineering domain, new insight into a framework of course designcan be identified and explored. The study can be shared with

class named “Actuators and SensorsApplication in Robotics” in the department of MET at the New York City College of Technologyin which there are three levels of robotics classes 15,16. In this class, the students are assumed tolearn the applications of popular sensors and actuators and study wireless communication devicesand protocols. Then, they can synthesize the knowledge of fundamental STEM, the introductionlevel of robotics, and design to develop a complicated project. As discussed above, the classmainly focuses on how to understand the theories through practical applications indirectly insteadof how to deliver the theories directly. The educational aim specializes in robotics technology toprepare for career-based classes and laboratories

the University of Portland in Portland, Ore- gon. She received her Ph.D. in Educational Psychology with an emphasis in Measurement, Statistics, and Research Design from the University of Washington. An elementary school teacher at heart, she now teaches educational research and STEM methods to undergraduate and graduate students. Her research fo- cus involves bringing active learning strategies to STEM, best practices of research-practice partnerships, and applied research in partnership.
