distance education is nothing new, the pandemic of COVID-19 forcedinstructors to rapidly move their courses online whether or not they had ever received priortraining in online education. In particular, there is very little literature to guide instructors insupporting students in online engineering design or project-based courses. The purpose ofthis research is to examine engineering students’ report of social support in their project anddesign-based courses at a large research university during the move to online instruction due toCOVID-19 in the Spring 2020 semester and to provide recommendations for instructors teachingthese types of courses online in the future. Our study is framed by social constructivismand social capital theory. We surveyed

Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (TUES). The name change was made to emphasize interest in projects that have thepotential to transform undergraduate education in STEM fields. Therefore, we were interested inhow, prior to the name change, the community conceived of what is necessary to makeeducational improvements and how investigators operationalized this through their project’sproposed activities.We selected Phase/Type 1 engineering CCLI proposals, analyzing all funded proposals in 2005and 2009, and selected a random sample of non-funded proposals for comparison purposes. Thepercentage of proposals analyzed each year was consistent and represents approximately 30% ofsubmissions received that

The instructors were selected both because of their expertise teaching design coursesacross mechanical, electrical, and robotics engineering concentrations and at one or more level inthe curriculum. This enables the capture of these educators’ perspective observing the students’progress through the curriculum. This pilot study builds on related work done by the authors thatpreviously investigated undergraduate engineering students’ conceptions of prototyping activitiesand process (REF). With educators participants, an interview protocol (see Table 2) wasfollowed through semi-structured qualitative

Engineering programs, in general, andcapstone design programs, in particular, that seek innovative conceptual solutions to complexproblems would benefit from techniques to develop and assess student creativity. Therefore, astudy was performed to evaluate two such techniques. Over the first two years of the study,capstone design students in the United States Air Force Academy’s Department of EngineeringMechanics were each assigned to one of 14 teams which received various learning experiences(treatments) intended to enhance individual creativity and design project

Students in these sections include majors fromMath and partner disciplines ranging from the School of the Arts to Humanities and Science,Business, and Engineering. At the onset of the project, the two PIs (one from Math and one fromEngineering) conducted a faculty survey to gauge current attitudes, level of interest in theproject, and the degree to which faculty felt the math courses listed above impacted theirstudents’ success. Broadly, the survey showed that engineering faculty were interested in howmathematics courses were (or should be) preparing students for engineering courses and thatlower level
