the components of the tool and how tofill in these components of the tool. Then, students worked in teams to construct their own HoQassociated with designing a game to teach aerospace design. The assumption was that studentswere familiar with games, and they were familiar with what needs to be learned in aerospacebecause they spent 8 weeks learning about the field and how to analyze sub components of anaircraft system. Teams met during a regular 50 minute class session. The students were giventheir own room to work in and they had access to on-line resources and a projection device tofacilitate the entire teams‟ ability to view the HoQ diagram. The session was video recorded andresearchers observed and took field notes. Initial analysis

rigorously tested. Thus, another goal of our project is torigorously establish the link between students’ expectations and student resistance. We have recently been awarded a National Science Foundation grant to study studentresistance to nontraditional teaching methods through a range of observations, surveys,interviews, and focus groups capturing both student and faculty perspectives. In this paper, wefocus on the insights into student resistance that can be gained by interviewing students in afocus group setting. We compare the results of focus groups conducted at two institutions usingtwo similar sets of questions. We reflect on both the different insights from two differentpopulations of students, differences in the focus group protocols

-level math and aerospace engineering courses during the Spring and Fall 2020 semesters.The major change was a move from face-to-face to remote learning during the mid of the Springsemester (March) and the fall semester. The face-to face in-class active learning (peer-to-peer,white board activities, team projects/presentations etc.) had to be aligned with the virtualdelivery/interaction modality. To encourage students prepare for the virtual lesson and watch thepre-class preparatory videos and other learning materials, graded short pre-class online quizzesusing the learning management system and virtual in-class quizzes were administered. Theauthors had provided several professional development workshops to the faculty on thesestrategies prior

The lessons were thereforeimplemented such that students could experience them on their computer screens at any time andfrom anywhere. The software platform allowed interaction with the 3D environment usingmouse/cursor controls. The methodology of the development of a VR lesson and links to the VRlessons are included in the paper. Attitude surveys were administered to students before and afterthe implementation of these interactive lessons. Results from these surveys are shared.

The effectiveness of activelearning strategies compared to the traditional lecture approach, when implemented well, has beenempirically validated and documented in engineering education literature. The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to explore engineering faculty’s use of active learning strategies in their teaching in aMidwestern university’s college of engineering context. Data sources included a survey about the facultyknowledge and use of active learning strategies and follow-up semi-structured interviews that aimed togather an in-depth understanding of their implementation of active learning

The goal is for the students to identify a mentor and start theprocess of integrating into their mentor’s research lab. Following lectures on literature searches and reading the literature, the student will locatejournal articles of their mentors work and other related work. This assignment will also havethem write a synopsis of the articles and how it is connected with the student’s project. Later inthe semester, the students will enter the manuscripts into a reference manager. The scientificmethods will then be covered over three lectures. Future

The ongoing research investigates the concur- rent validity of an instrument (ARS-30) with an existing instrument (CD-RISC), an academic resilience instrument posed to measure resilience in an educational context. Besides his interests in game-based ac- tivities around the scholarship of teaching and learning, he is also interested in evidence-based practices through systematic reviews, meta-analysis and empirical research on engineering education issues. In addition, he is interested in measuring inventories development by examining the psychometric properties of instruments in engineering education.Dr

Forexample, the work of Mejia and Wilson-Lopez [18] captured how Latino/a adolescents leveragedtheir engineering-related funds of knowledge to create a solution in a design project or in problemsfaced in their everyday lives. Their study found that high school students’ funds of knowledge canbe relevant to engineering bodies of knowledge, skills, and habits of mind such as systemsthinking, scientific or mathematical knowledge, production and processing [19], [20].
