The students have continued to improve their projectsafter the semester ended, producing three paper drafts that share their classroom activities and havebeen submitted to the ASEE conference [16], [17], [18]. Eight students decided to stay on thisclinic project for the spring semester, demonstrating high engagement with the project overall.Their documentation efforts also forced our students to think deeply about the LOs and how theseactivities can be implemented. We are looking forward to seeing the outcomes of their continuedengagement and the refinement of their educational activities.Survey Outcomes. Seven of the ten students

, the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) andthe American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) have discussed the need for engineersof the future to be “T-shaped” professionals who possess a deep subject knowledge and theability to apply that knowledge broadly [1-4] (the vertical of the T-shape refers to this depth ofknowledge and the horizontal refers to the ability to to transfer this knowledge to variousapplications).A problem exists, however, in that engineering students often face difficulties in transferringknowledge and developing the connections that exist between concepts and courses in theirprogram of study [5-7]. This deficiency is not often addressed by faculty teaching engineeringcourses, which are often taught in silos and

lessonslearned for developing open educational resources.Project OverviewThis section contains details of the project execution, including descriptions and objectives for thetwo phases: (1) Development of the OER textbook, and (2) Incorporation of student problems.In the first phase, developing the OER textbook, an internal university grant of $1,000 was awardedin April 2020, which allowed for an adaptation of existing material. Rather than create an entirelynew textbook, OER statics and physics textbooks were adapted. A research student was hired inthe fall of 2020 to support the creation of the OER, using the Pressbooks platform. The studentwas recruited based on their performance in the Fall 2019 Statics course with the facultyresearcher, for their

This course also serves as one ofthree courses introducing first-year students to Mechanical Engineering. While the course hasexisted for some time, it began a transition to its current form in Fall 2019. The courseintroduces students to C++ programming on the Arduino platform and programming in theMatlab numeric computing platform.

drop inthe number of failing students.Overall, the initial experience using a mastery-based method to teach CAD was successful andwill continue to be used in the future. A few changes will be made to help augment the tutorialsand add extra teaching resources. Also, threads between EM and the mastery-method willcontinue to be developed with the goal of encouraging students to develop a growth mindsetearlier in their engineering education.References: [1] Roszelle, Breigh N. “Full Paper: The development of a first-year design project: focusing on creativity, independence, and design understanding”. 2019 First Year Engineering Experience Conference, University Park, PA, Jul 28th-30th, 2019.

then took the paper-based FE exam. Between Spring 2014 and Spring 2018, while using the CE 411 materials for theFE CBT exams we saw a sharp decline in students' performance with the lowest pass rate at65%, which was 13% lower than the national average pass rate 78%. To address this decline, westarted developing and implementing SDLMs in Fall 2018 and modified CE 411 to be ME 416FE Exam Review. Although we didn't anticipate COVID-19 impact in Fall 2019, theimplementation of SDLMs allowed students to continue learning online without meetinginstructors face-to-face. Nonetheless, we still meet students live on ZOOM for the 1st session ofthe course to give an overview of the course and answer questions from students.The objective of this study is
