University ofTexas study, the improvements in student grades based on recitation may be statisticallyinsignificant because of a larger influence from student participation and attendance [7]. In thespring of 2021 at Penn State Behrend, one recitation section was offered and had 7 participants.More sections will need to be opened to increase availability to students with conflictingschedules because students cite scheduling conflicts as the main factor for skipping or notregistering for recitation courses [13], [14]. It is hoped that with proper tracking of the success ofthe recitation, the data can be used to convince future students to participate in the recitationcourse.References[1] S.

Among all the courses listed in Table 1, one textbook (first and later editions) received the greatest popularity, being chosen as the textbook by at least three instructors. This textbook is: Spong, M.W. and M. Vidyasagar, Robot Dynamics and Control. 1989, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. and its latest version: Spong, M.W., Hutchinson, S., and M.

The goal is to attain the benefits of group work while providingjust in time coaching to address any conceptual issues as they occur. Although group orteam-based learning has its advantages, it still has well-known disadvantages. The maindrawback being the student who is not participating may have less effective learning expe-riences as compared to the more gregarious and/or confident students who actually solvethe problem. The purpose of this paper is to discuss this technique in the context of teach-ing undergraduate dynamics, although we believe it can be applied in other undergraduatescience

, its relevance in engineering and engineeringeducation cannot be underestimated, especially when having today´s energy andenvironmental concerns in mind.Despite the importance of the subject, it has been considered as “dry and abstract” bystudents 1. One reason might be that the subject has become more and more difficult to relateto its applications –the fundamentals principles are the same as for 150 years ago, but theapplications become more and more refined due to technological developments andinnovations. If so, it is altogether not surprising that students find engineeringthermodynamics abstract, being separated from its applications – this might be devastating forthe students’ interest and possibility to learn.An increase in student

Sincere attempt is made to refer to the CLOs whiledesigning the contents of the assessment tools used. For example, many class work andhomework problems, and each exam question clearly stated the concept being tested in thatquestion, and to what extent that question addresses the CLO(s) and how it maps the PO(s).Students were informed where this information will be used.

Access to mainframecomputers and proficiency in such programming languages as FORTRAN and PASCAL werenecessary for solving complex heat transfer problems.

Pedagogically, the mini-projects aim to movestudents from a simple to a complex level of understanding; for example, moving beyond simplygrasping how a tool is employed to understanding its purpose, the need(s) it addresses, and theexpectations surrounding its use. In short, students learn how to think about tools and operationsthat are viable, feasible, and desirable. Adding opportunities for flexibility in pursuing some oftheir own interests can further

I think this was not only unwelcoming and embarrassing for the student(s) arriving late, but being forced to miss the lecture, despite paying for college tuition was unfair. This act of negative reinforcement also caused the student(s) to be behind and had to catch up on the material on their own time.
