for Research, Education, and OutreachAbstractAntennas are essential components of wireless devices and systems including cell phones, Wi-Fiaccess points / routers and client devices, military and civilian radars, public safetycommunication systems, and many others. Faculty and students at a teaching-focusedinstitution, Weber State University (WSU), have developed a low-cost, portable, open-sourceantenna pattern measurement system (anTpaTT). In this project, a team of undergraduateengineering students at a research university, Virginia Tech (VT), are operating and enhancingthe system. The enhanced anTpaTT system and the project itself provide opportunities for hands-on learning, remote laboratory exercises, and experiential and / or project
ProgramAbstractDuring the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic crisis, classrooms across the globe have abruptlypivoted to virtual learning strategies. This change has posed many challenges with both thepedagogical methodology for instructors and the learning environment for students. Moreover,this transition has prompted the emergence of new virtual instructional techniques. Due to theextenuating circumstance of the pandemic, the author’s institution introduced a wide range ofvirtual teaching modes while holding a limited number of face-to-face classes. Among thesecourses, Introduction to Graphics is considered to be a critical course that requires in-personlearning strategies, as it includes manual drafting with hands-on exercises.

This disconnectoccurred because the personnel on the IT accessibility team has little to no teaching experienceand no knowledge of the practicalities of what happens in an MET course, especially one withhands-on laboratory components. A major concern of the faculty in the Penn State Behrend METprogram was based on the first line of the official EEAAP document that indicated it was alegally binding document. Faculty were hesitant to simply create a bare-bones document thatcould be misinterpreted later, or to create a plan that was not actually feasible to implement if theoccasion occurred that a visually impaired or blind person chose to major in MET on theBehrend campus. Therefore, it was almost entirely up to the MET faculty

Besides teaching, the Sovietexperts spent a significant portion of their time developing teaching materials and textbooks, whichresulted in the publication of dozens of textbooks in Chinese. Finally, the Soviet experts advisedTsinghua leaders in reviving the university’s research capacity, which had been in a halted statusduring the early 1950s. Soviet scientists and engineers participated in committees and meetingsthat developed strategies in different areas of research. Furthermore, a number of Soviet expertscollaborated with Tsinghua faculty and students in building laboratories and libraries, and in thedesign and conducting of research experiments.Compare to the limited numbers of elite American and European professors

increasing demand of theDEM in engineering application and research, it is very critical to have a course on thisarea. In many universities, it is impossible to find a faculty member in the teaching of thisadvanced method. There are not many other universities offered the similar course. AtUniversity of Pittsburgh, the application of the DEM as a computer aid in a geotechnicalprogram was attempted (Lobo-Guerrrero and Vallejo 2006), where the simulation of astandard laboratory test and different cavities inside a rock mass were introduced tostudents.Objective of the Course and ActivitiesThe objective was to teach students numerical analysis methods-focusing on DEM. Inorder to introduce the advances of the DEM to the graduate curriculum, some
and execute a research project in the theme, “The campus as an energy-efficiency and alternative-energy laboratory.”The burgeoning term “energy literacy” suggests that people exhibit varying degrees of energyknowledge. Many may not fully understand the differences between a BTU and a Calorie, a Wattand a VA, what a KWh is on their electric bill, why there are different grades of gasoline (and what“octane” means), and the foundational place in industrialized civilization of the heat engine. Thus,the central – but not sole – aim of the Energy ELG is to teach the science of energy and therefore topromote energy literacy. The majority of the class time will be spent on objectives 1 and 2,encompassing the science of energy. However, it is
phasesof online course design.” To meet the needs for all students, as addressed in Thomas Tobin andKristen Behling’s book, “reach everyone, teach everyone” 4, different teaching strategies havebeen proposed 5-6. With regard to the lab courses, finding appropriate resources, delivering clearinstructions, and creating labs without being physically present are the crucial issues.The purpose of this paper is to share our experiences in meeting learning objectives whileteaching lab courses virtually. The learning objectives impacted by the transition will behighlighted, following by a discussion on the affected student outcomes. Our approach to attackthe problems will be presented and example lab courses will be used to share the experiences

The in-person sectionwas properly socially distanced based on New Mexico COVID restrictions. There were two TA'savailable in the physical classroom to guide students, one undergraduate, and one graduate TA.The Zoom call was hosted by additional graduate and undergraduate TA's to ensure that studentshad the opportunity to receive support at any time throughout the lab session.

engineering students. Theapplicability of PID in many different career fields, implies that many degree programs couldbenefit from adding it to their curriculum. Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering,Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechanical EngineeringTechnology, etc. are all degrees that either already offer disciplines or courses that study thedesign and use of automated control [5].Part of the Advanced PLC laboratory at our university, the Amatrol Process Control System,shown in Fig. 1, is used to teach programming of industrial equipment for controlling the flowrate and level of fluids [3]. It is not concerned with the theory of PID control, rather it focuses onthe programming of industrial equipment and the
Education theme through its focus on the value that ariseswhen faculty from different disciplines (one chemical engineering, the other writing) collaborate.Here, the authors abided by the definition of “authentic collaboration,” as given by Reave(2004). Moreover, because this teaching occurred over two semesters and was part of a college-wide initiative to integrate writing into all four years, the paper demonstrated the third theme ofdesigning curricula, not just courses. The theme of designing curricula was seen in another 2020 paper that was also from theUniversity of New Haven. Titled “A Three-Course Laboratory Sequence in Mechanical
, less than 5% of the undergraduate degrees awarded in the US are in engineering,compared to 13% in European countries and nearly 25% in Asia [1]. It is becoming increasingly clearthat universities in the United States must adapt their teaching and retention practices to adequatelyprepare students to fill critical roles in a technology focused, multi-disciplinary workplace [2]. Thedesire for a more interdisciplinary approach to undergraduate engineering education is evident as thetransition to more geographically disparate teams is driving the need for engineering professionals todemonstrate that they possess not only the requisite technical acumen, but skills like communication,teamwork and conflict resolution that are not typically taught in
students under the remote leaning environment as aresponse to the COVID-19 pandemic. The MMTK has also shown its potential to be ameaningful teaching and learning tool more broadly in undergraduate engineering education.With some future development work, the MMTK can be implemented in other courses includingintroduction to materials science and hands-on mechatronics courses.References [1] L.

Removing technical content may also threaten program accreditation.The implementation challenges facing the recommendations for graduate programs are discussedbelow. 1.
