For the nursing students, with practical training andexperience in various hospital environments including some ER, this provided an opportunity tovalue observation of details and articulate the need for a functional ER room to the engineers.Extra credit was given for features that addressed COVID-19.1. Value of collaborative projectsThe benefits of collaborative multidisciplinary projects are well known. They enhance theability of students to communicate across disciplinary lines. Students may also learn how tolisten to a customer and develop ideas based on incomplete information. Typicallymultidisciplinary projects involve students from different fields of engineering.

Students work in teams to collaboratively collectinformation, define and analyze the problems, and seek the effective solution. Instead offollowing faculty member’s instruction to passively complete the model design, students have anopportunity to apply the skills they learned in class to solve the real-world problem, and to thinkas an engineer. IGL introduced a greater level of excitement and enthusiasm by allowingstudents to explore the topics of personal interest to themselves
structure, timelines,design projects, and assessment of students’ work. Instructor and student reactions to the newlydesigned course are discussed, including their views on the relevancy, work load, and overallreaction.IntroductionThe University of Wisconsin-Marathon County (UWMC) offers a two-year pre-engineeringprogram. The purpose of this program is to give students the core engineering courses they needduring the first two years in college. After completing the first two years, they transfer into oneof many engineering programs at many universities. The curriculum of such a pre-engineeringprogram must encompass necessary courses students need regardless of which specific major oruniversity they transfer. Engineering graphics is one course which
simulation and engineering analysis, as well asother areas of the students’ interest, are practiced in under graduate research and/or individualstudies. Earlier, a team of two students had been engaged in a project titled as: Computer AidedReverse Engineering of a Toy Car. One of the main objectives of this project was for the studentsto extend their knowledge of reverse engineering and to also gain a hands-on experience in thefield of solid modeling of complicated products. Coordinates Measurement Machine (CMM), acaliper, and a micrometer were used to measure the main dimensions of the Toy Car. A solidmodeling program was then used for creating the model and manufacturing analysis. This paperreports the re-engineering methodology and process of the
four weeks ofsketching and eleven weeks of three-dimensional, constraint-based, solid modeling. In2002, the course was revised using the “backward design” approach [2] with formativeand summative assessments in lecture and lab activities. In later years project-based andlearning-centered instructional approaches with creative ideation and sketching [3] wereintroduced. Such approaches follow a natural cycle of Kolb’s learning model [4], whichincludes abstract conceptualization, active experimentation / application, concreteexperience, and reflective observation. Our university has recently launched a campus-wide academic initiative aimed at preparing undergraduate students in all engineeringmajors to use their disciplinary knowledge and skills

for increasedstudent success. The enhanced methodology includes three steps. The first is Pre-Test: thePSVT-R test to assess students’ spatial visualization skills created by Purdue University, apartner school in the ENGAGE project, was given to all engineering and science freshmanstudents at Kettering University. The second step is Remediation: based on the results, allstudents who scored lower than 60% were required to take a spatial visualization course whichwas developed as one of the deliverables in the NSF-ENGAGE grant. The third step is Post-Test:by testing students’ spatial visualization skills after the spatial visualization training, all thestudents who participated the training passed the post test.

In pair programming, two students work at a single computer, andperiodically trade off roles as driver (hands on the keyboard and mouse) and navigator (discussstrategy and design issues). Pair programming was used in a design project, and in a subsequentyear in a design project and several smaller special projects. Student outcomes for two yearswere compared with a previous year in which pair programming was not used. Improvementswere seen in design

technical studio space.When creating an online or hybrid course there are number of factors that must be taken intoconsideration. [4] These factors were researched in Lessons Learned from the Hybrid CourseProject. This project identified ten elements that need to be considered when developing a hybridcourse. 1. There is no standard approach to a hybrid course. 2. Redesigning a traditional course into a hybrid takes time. 3. Start small and keep it simple. Page 12.992.3 4. Redesign is the key to effective hybrid courses to integrate the face-to-face and online learning. 5. Hybrid courses facilitate interaction among students, and
