activities that can be used throughout various engineering andcomputer science courses from first year to upper division [5].As part of this project, the University of Denver (DU) has developed and implemented severalactivities, including a group-based hairdryer design task for second year thermodynamicsstudents. The pilot of the activity took place in spring of 2019 and this initial experience waspresented at ASEE in 2020 [6]. Since then, the activity has been run four times and iterated tohelp strengthen the goals of the activity and assess its effectiveness. Changes since the initialpilot have included options for remote courses, added reflection time, and a focus on overalldesign process instead of detailed mathematical questions. The current

Therefore, this study focuses on the following research questions.RQ1: How did participating in an interdisciplinary collaborative service-learning project affectteamwork effectiveness as measured by CATME?RQ2: How did students perceive the varying intervention modalities during the evolvingCOVID-19 pandemic affected their teamwork?MethodsParticipantsA total of 411 undergraduate engineering students agreed to participate in the research fromSpring 2019 to Spring 2022. Out of this, 78.6% of the participating students were male, and15.8% were female. Most students identified as White or Caucasian (58.9%), followed by Blackor African American (16.8%).

, 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

students. The course’sprimary objective is to introduce Mechanical Engineering students to programming and toprepare students for subsequent courses including courses in numerical methods,experimentation and instrumentation, and system modeling. 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. The course focuses on fundamental programming conceptssuch as variables, conditional statements, loops, arrays, and functions and on programmingapplications in mechanical

Thismodel has a Pro 2019 Station Model display, a rain bucket, solar powered anemometer, and athermo-hygro sensor. The rain bucket is a Rain 2.0 Sensor that is self-emptying and measures theamount of water collected by the WOTA system (LTV-R2 Rain Sensor, 2019). The solar-poweredanemometer is an LTV-WSDTH01 Breeze Pro Sensor attached to the roof of the fencing at thehighest point on site. It measures the outdoor air temperature, relative humidity, heat index,barometric pressure, and wind speed (LTV-WSDTH01 Breeze Pro Sensor, 2019). The displayallows workers to check the data

In this paper, the authors extend their prior study on the impactof grades in engineering education. The first study was conducted in the spring of 2019 at a tierone, small private research university in Texas with the intention of understanding the mindset ongrades before, during, and at the end of the semester.
