Changes and tweaks will be made to each coursebased on the feedback from students and faculty to improve student learning outcomes outlinedby ABET. More importantly, the sequence will be designed and improved to equip students withtechnical skills and professional skills, which will prepare students to meet expectations from theindustry and ease students’ transition into the professional world.References[1] C.

The definition of “remote delivery” institutionally is acourse that meets online, and synchronously. The use of the makerspace was not feasible due tothe close-proximity nature of numerous hands-on activities for as many as 96 students per class,and the provision of multiple shared tools amongst six different classes.

For example, Dyehouse et al.’s (2008) NanotechnologyAwareness Instrument examines two factors, Exposure and Motivation, impacting students’career interest and goals. Students’ exposure and motivation are measured by asking studentsabout the activities they engaged in related to nanotechnology. Dyehouse et al. (2008) defineExposure as the “activities that a student has actually completed” such as reading, watching andengaging in the topic (2008, p. 503). They define Motivation as “nano-related studies or workthat a student plans to do in the future” such as interest in reading, taking courses and

They presented their evaluation of students’ attainment of each course objective and the mapped ABET student outcomes, an example is shown in the later section of this paper. Also, they presented samples of students’ projects and presentations. At the end of their presentation, they presented what went well and what did not since this was the first experience of the FCY curriculum.

It was a sad but easy decision topostpone EDC 2020 given all the uncertainty of what would happen next. By August 2020,Georgia Southern University classes returned to a hybrid model, while K-12 schools remainedmostly virtual. The original seven EDC teams were surveyed regarding their interest andcapability to participate in a virtual version of the EDC 2020 competition. Two of the
