different audience levels.MethodsThe efficacy of the course project, reinvented to be adaptable to a semester impacted by COVID-19, is assessed through two main methodologies. First, a direct assessment of student work isperformed using “teacher research” [31], [32], [33]. That is, student created artifacts from thecourse project are analyzed to determine degree to which students learned skills and enhancedcontent knowledge. In particular, students’ writing from various project milestones areexamined, with a specific focus on reflection pieces. Throughout the milestones students wereasked to evaluate the videos produced by Wired Magazine and their peers, as well as completeself-reflections at multiple time points. As discussed in the introduction

), Carderock Division.At this point, two classes were being offered one night per week using video teleconferencingamong three sites; VCES, Carderock, and the Virginia Tech main campus in Blacksburg, VA.At that time, very few engineering classes – from anywhere – were being offered in a distance-learning mode. The problem was that the resolution of the video teleconferencing medium wastoo poor to deliver the equation-intensive material in these courses. The instructors would haveto write equations in large characters in order to be legible over the TV and were often frustratedby the small amount they could fit on one screen. Students had no way of pointing to orinteracting with the mathematical material the professor was presenting. Demonstration

thoughtful andreasoned with respect to hydrodynamics. We believe that this approach of collaborative lectureswith small groups will be beneficial to others needing to teach high-level concepts to studentswho do not yet have the background knowledge required for more formal teaching.IntroductionIn a first-year engineering course at a large Midwestern research university, remotely operatedvehicles (ROVs) are used as a design project topic to teach fundamental engineering andcommunication skills. The course utilizes a design-build-test-communicate framework with theuse of peer mentors [1, 2] to coach students through what is often their first team-based course intheir post-secondary education [3, 4].In the design of ROVs, the science of hydrodynamics

The minor co-op employer evaluates the students’ performance based on the followingcriteria:1- Evaluation of Student Performance Expectations ● Specialized Knowledge ○ Basic knowledge and understanding of the theoretical aspects ○ Basic knowledge & understanding of the technical aspects ● Broad and Integrative Learning ○ Ability to explore concepts and questions that bridge different areas of learning ○ Ability to write effectively ○ Ability to communicate effectively ○ Ability to critically and creatively

. The capstone senior deign project can be the vehicle to help solvingthese issues.ABET defines Engineering Design as: “The process of devising a system, component, or processto meet the desired needs. It is a decision making process, in which the basic sciences,mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet statedobjective. Among the fundamental elements of the design process are: the establishment of theobjectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis, construction, testing and evaluation”6. In our seniordesign classes we have placed this definition at core of electrical engineering senior designcourses. First we focus on the word objectives and criteria and ask the student to write aparagraph stating the

electrical engineering, electronics and computerengineering, or system design, etc.. First we focus on the word objectives and criteria and ask thestudent to write a paragraph stating the objectives, principles, and the decisive factors to reachthe stated objectives. The second step is conceptualization and laying down the foundation forhow to achieve the stated objectives. The students are encouraged to draw a block diagramshowing different components of the system they want to design. A set of questions are posed tostudents to further understand the task at hand. These are typical questions:• What are the input signals to system and, what are their characteristics and magnitudes?• Do the inputs require signal conditioning?• Do the inputs

and professional development opportunities • Emphasizing intern/mentor relationshipsMentors assigned to the projects supervise students as needed and monitor progress whichincludes a mid-term project review. During the internship, the students interact with studentsfrom other schools and are exposed to a number of design tools that significantly enhances theirhands-on education. In particular, participating students have undergone training in the use ofvarious industry-based software including one or more of the following: Advanced Surface ShipEvaluation Tool (ASSET), Ship Motion Program (SMP), Seaway Evaluation Program (SEP),Rhinoceros 3D Modeling Program, Bryce 3D Animation Program. Further, the students arerequired to write a technical
