.” ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Utilizing Active Learning to Replace Traditional Homework in Undergraduate Engineering MajorsAbstract:The internet and social media are growing significantly at a rapid pace, making it harder forinstructors to provide effective learning and authentic assessment of courses using only thetraditional textbook. The future of undergraduate engineering majors is in danger of extinction asthe creativity of students’ minds and the experience of hands-on projects are fading in theshadow of outdated textbooks and repetitive theoretical assignments. As hands-on laboratoriesimprove academic performance and increase student success, they need to be updated to servetoday’s world

Wehope to extend this research to beyond just the sole context of automotive engineering.Discussion and ImplicationsThe down-selecting from students’ interests in automotive engineering from the start of theircollege experience to graduation is a curious phenomenon. It might be that there are discoveriesof ancillary interests, work for OEM or parts manufacturers within the same applied plan. Itmight be that the paucity of automotive engineering companies geographically stifle possibleprofessional development for students as future engineers.How might we further expose students to a multiplicity of possible future careers and industries?There may very be additional interventions or mindful efforts to bring automotive engineeringcompanies

In addition, we evaluated our existing material laboratory course content andsummarized the pros and cons. Then, we researched individual faculty research specialties in thedepartment, the NAE grand challenges of engineering [13], and daily engineering problemsstudents might be interested in. For institutes with existing equipment, which is different from ourcase, summarizing a list of existing equipment could be beneficial in the research phase. Aftergathering the above ideas and research results, we analyzed the data and connected the dots. Wefound brainstorming mind maps
