The imagery captured with UAV sensors can be used to map vegetation species or physical elevations over a study area [17], [19], [21] – [23]. For instance, Williams et al.

This gap was marginally significant(p= 0.05).However, that strong agreement did not hold when reflecting on how first-generation studentsfelt they were viewed by their parents and faculty. When asked if their parents saw them as anengineer, 72% of first-generation students indicated agreement, a decline of 7 percentage pointsfrom the peer perception question. That percentage dropped further when reflecting on how thesestudents believed their faculty viewed them with only 68% indicating agreement.

The data was first reviewed to identify initialcodes, which were then grouped into categories and themes based on their similarity. The themeswere then reviewed to ensure they accurately reflected the data and were supported by theparticipants' responses. This mixed-methods approach provided a comprehensive understandingof student perspectives, and the results were used to develop recommendations to enhance theonline learning experience for engineering students.ResultsThe questionnaire was administered to 15 students enrolled in the Principles of Surveyingengineering course, and the results are presented below.Question 1 indicated that 80% of participants

This activity remains relevant because the calculations are reflected inlaboratory measurements with the VAWT.AssignmentsThe activity spans five weeks. A problem set is completed once a week in class and part of thatproblem set is a simple series circuit, the model for the VAWT. The lab component meets once aweek, and this is where concepts are reinforced. It is not unusual for some students, usually thosewith no prior experience, to find the circuit analysis problem so different that they react bydisengaging and deciding it is not worth their time

are not explainedby a single theory [1, 8]. One solution that may help resolve these concerns about computernetwork education would be the use of computer network simulations [9]. Computer networksimulation is the imitation of real-world network communication scenarios using the software.The purpose of this simulation software is to reflect the quality of a given network designthrough the analysis of the performance of the simulation [7, 10]. Since computer networksimulation is a tool that is used regularly in the professional setting of network design andresearch, it would make sense that it would also be useful for educational purposes [9].

Before this academic term, the course followed a more traditional lecture style withoccasional demonstration activities. Insights and lessons learned from this pilot implementationprompted enhancements in the project kit and course plan, resulting in
