Some schools provide service learning credit for coursesin robotics [4] in their curriculum. When mentoring middle/high school children, it is essentialto communicate the fundamental concepts in simple, easy to understand and for-fun ways.Studies indicate that a practice of journal writing about the mentoring activity [5] and usingreflection leads to improved mentoring. This can improve among mentors the ability tocommunicate complex engineering topics to lay and

Post-covidlockdown, the exams were moved to zoom. Exam questions were posted online on blackboard,students could download them and attempt the questions on paper while sitting in front of aphone/laptop camera over zoom. This method was chosen since the students did not want to usemore intrusive software like proctorio. Also, we wanted to give a non-multiple-choice questionexam that students could hand write.

Once studentsenter their collegiate course of study, academia, industry, and the students themselves must seekout and integrate communication study and practice into their engineering training [2].

If one wants to pursue a pathway to research in engineering education, the researchmethodology in engineering education should be no different than the same methodologicalapproach used in technical engineering research: 1. define the research question or hypothesis, 2.write a proposal or plan, 3. seek funding or other appropriate support, 4. do the work rigorously,and 5. publish the results in peer-reviewed journals. In this sense, engineering educationresearch should be considered favorably in promotion and tenure. One caveat in educationalresearch is that the student (human subject) is the target

For many disciplines, the interaction among students required fordiscussion or peer review of written work can be handled in courses through discussion boards,chat sessions, team conferences, and written assignments. Furthermore, for some courses,simulations and case studies can replace active learning sessions.[1] However, even with theadvances in online education, the challenges of most laboratory courses required on-sitelaboratory experiences because of the need for physical hardware and resources. Some of themost affected disciplines include engineering, the physical sciences and health sciences.[2][3][4] The 2020 pandemic created immediate and focused challenges that

The impact of different industrial revolutions on education, just like all other parts of society has been profound. Education 1.0 was no education at all. At that time children worked in manual jobs and child labor was the order of the day. Education was not necessary to earn a living, it was merely a luxury for the elites and the rich. Education 2.0 originated from the need to read and write and was developed in the model of Industry 2.0, with emphasis on repeatability, uniformity, efficiency, and mass production.
