the students’own experiences.Research activityThe greatest change proposed and eventually implemented relates to the teaching process andhow the teacher-facilitator presents the physics concept. In the pre-existing paradigm, teachersintroduce the theory of a new concept prior to running an experiment or discussing contextualapplications of the theory. The physics laboratory objective is solely to verify or support thepresented theory. Teachers then encourage students to extrapolate implementation contextsthrough discussions that follow the lab experiment. The focus of the student lab report is ontheory, procedures, data collection and applying that data to the theoretical equations. Reportconclusions recount how well the experiment matched

Additionally, he has developed and taught fourteen different courses, many of which were in the areas of energy, sustainability, thermodynamics, dynamics and heat transfer. He has always made an effort to incorporate experiential learning into the classroom through the use of demonstrations, guest speakers, student projects and site visits. Dr. Kerzmann is a firm believer that all students learn in their own unique way. In an effort to reach all students, he has consistently deployed a host of teaching strategies into his classes, including videos, example problems, quizzes, hands-on laboratories, demonstrations, and group work. Dr. Kerzmann is enthusiastic in the continued pursuit of

Promoting quality STEM Education in the time of Social Distancing (Other)AbstractThe pandemic produced by COVID-19 has forced a radical change in the strategies andmethodologies used to share and transmit knowledge. With the closure of the Schools /Universities, the educational process has been radically transformed from one day to the next.STEM education is based on collaborative work, inquiry, experimentation, problem-solving, andproject generation. This type of education encounters many obstacles in the present situation:students do not have access to laboratories, materials, and other essential supplies to implementan educational process of quality.The Institution has developed alternative ways to promote quality STEM education for

There has never been a period when labswere not viewed as essential to the VMI civil engineering program.Educational theory has supported the use of laboratories as effective teaching techniques [3].Laboratories promote active learning and reduce the probability that students will passivelyreceive knowledge. Images and activities are more easily remembered especially if they arevivid and appeal to the senses [4]. Most laboratories require interactions among students andprofessors and force them to actively work with the principles under investigation. Teachingassistants are also commonly

Thestudent test body was divided into two groups. A control course section group, where notroubleshooting instruction was given and designated the “As Is” state. The second sectiongroup, “Improved State” was given an extensive troubleshooting methodology as part of theirinitial training. The primary metric, number of failed attempts to meet specification, waschosen as it is easy to measure by student Teaching Assistants (TA) and was also used to assessthe Sigma process capability for each group.

By 2018, several of the QUBEs had ceased to function, out of an original set of tenunits. That year, internal ME department research was conducted to investigate the cost of QUBEreplacements. At that time the version of the QUBE owned by KU had been discontinued.According to Quanser, there were two QUBEs left (in their possession) from that outdatedhardware generation. The ME department did not purchase those units, which ended the use ofthe QUBEs in MECH-431, as there would have been too many students in each laboratory groupassigned to each remaining (functioning) QUBE.Regarding the

This hypothesis was tested in a controlled experiment at Harvey-MuddCollege, a small, STEM-focused liberal arts college. The introductory engineering course at thecollege teaches discipline-agnostic, mathematical modeling of engineering systems using aflipped classroom with tightly coupled laboratory sessions. Approximately half of the studentsin the laboratory sections received treatment lab manuals with many interactive questions, whilethe other half received control lab manuals that contained fewer questions.
