This number of participants is considered sufficient to reach an acceptable levelof trustworthiness.ResultsThe interviews of faculty are ongoing during spring 2019. By March 2019, four interviewshad been conducted at the first university. By the time of the ASEE conference in June, allinterviews and a first round of analysis will have been completed, enabling presentation ofpreliminary results.The initial analyses made so far have identified the disciplines themselves as importantfactors in the variations noted. The more science-dominated engineering disciplines, includingbiotechnology and in one case energy, seem to expect less future change, whereas engineeringdisciplines such as mechanical and

Hence, it is essential to enhanceundergraduate EE education in historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) and minorityserving institutes (MSI) to achieve the goal of diversifying and improving minority students’interests and academic achievements.Over the last two decades, the modern EE systems have changed significantly due to theincreased complexity

AeromechanicsII. AAE 20401 is an aerospace structural mechanics lab course for second-year students wherethey had the opportunity to use the Virtual Lab software. When implementing the Virtual Labs,we characterized the content, assessment, and pedagogy of the course under the BackwardCourse Design Model to identify how the Virtual Lab software could be integrated into thecoursework. After a year of getting feedback on the software from the students and investigatingthe pedagogical approaches on how to use it, we introduced a new format on the use of thevirtual lab in Fall 2019. This paper describes the latest version of the lab course with theintegration of the Virtual Lab software. The curriculum design, presented in this paper, is auseful reference for
