common final examproblems that were evaluated with a mastery-focused rubric.BackgroundThe SMART pedagogical method was developed at Michigan State University in 2016 [1]. Theacronym SMART stands for Supported Mastery Assessment using Repeated Testing. The goalof the SMART method is to address concerning trends in student understanding and performancein STEM courses, especially those that focus on problem-solving. The method was developed inresponse to growing indications that students were passing classes by achieving a level oflearning that is lower than what is expected for an engineering graduate. This lower level oflearning is often not discerned by current assessment methods. Preliminary investigationsdetermined that this trend was not due

With this shift comes concomitant consideration of retaining some or all of thesefeatures in instruction even as the need for these countermeasures recedes. While the COVID-19pandemic created a far more challenging educational environment, but also created anopportunity for scrutiny of virtual instruction practices. The terms “remote”, “distance”, and“virtual” carry a variety of interpretations [1]; here we use the term “virtual” and “remote”interchangeably to refer to student interactions with an online learning management system(LMS) and other web-based tools and we use the term “synchronous” to refer to

analysis requires at a minimum (1) capital cost or investment estimation, (2) operatingcost analysis, and (3) engineering econ analysis. In energy system the operating expense isgenerally dominated by the cost of fuel or analogous inputs, but other operating and maintenance(O&M) costs should be included. Estimating the energy-based component of the operating cost isprobably most familiar and comfortable for undergraduate students. Straightforward systemanalysis or simulation is adequate to support estimating the energy consumption. Usually, theintermediate result in popular mechanical engineering instructional topics is the energy efficiencyor other input/output ratio of the system, from which the annual consumption of fuel, electricity,or

explicitlyteach these skills, rather than relying on inconsistent learning experiences and processes.Background and ObjectivesMany engineering students often struggle with the entry-level courses in their discipline. Severalreasons have been cited for this struggle, including increasing topic complexity, complexproblem-solving methods compared to rote algorithms they utilized in previous classes, andlearning new discipline-related jargon [1]–[4]. In addition to these issues, engineering often doesnot explicitly teach the necessary skills and expectations for success [5]. This hidden curriculuminfluences the students’ learning environments and outcomes. Especially for systemicallyminoritized students (i.e., women, Black, Indigenous, Latina/o/x students

[1], [2].In Mechanics, students have to deal with theories and problems of motion and to apply combinedconcepts from math and physics. Topics include 2D and 3D vectors, moments, trusses, geometricaspects of bodies under motion (kinematics) and the effect of forces on motion (kinetics) forparticles and rigid bodies. Concepts such as static equilibrium, relative motion, the moment ofinertia, and rotation are difficult (if not impossible) to explain with a 2D image or verbalexplanation [3]. Often students describe their struggle as “I don’t know where to start” or “I readthe problem, but I did not get it” [4].Over the past five years, the David L.

programsAs the 21st century approached, Bordogna and Ernst claimed that the engineering educationparadigm shift needed to consider integration [1]. From a philosophical point of view, theauthors argued that the field of engineering education was prepared to shift from a disconnectedcurriculum to an integrated curriculum. A more integrated curriculum would help studentsappreciate the importance of complexity and reflect the disciplinary integration of theengineering profession [1]. From their perspective, integration meant holistic education, anunderstanding that all knowledge acquired was with an engineering purpose. From thisparadigm, first-year engineering (FYE) programs have been established as an essential part ofengineering education and have

These studies answerquantitative questions like “how much does students’ design thinking increase” where designthinking is measured using an instrument based on characteristics of designers [11]. However,qualitative questions such as “what ways do students engage with the design process” arerelatively unexplored. In this area, researchers such as Adams et al [8] and

Also, separation is a subject that has become more relevant insustainable engineering [2]. Although traditional separation techniques are widely studied inchemical engineering, those techniques (such as distillation) have high operating costs. Newseparation technologies are being developed in part to reduce those large operating costs, such asmembrane separation. Membrane separation is a technique used to separate mixtures of liquidsor gasses. A membrane is a

student’s financial burden.Introduction Earning a professional engineering (PE) license is an important step many engineers taketo open career doors, protect the public, and provide credibility for their engineering skillsets. Inthe field of civil and environmental engineering (CEE) receiving professional licensure isespecially important as it often deals directly with the built environment and the public [1]. Oneof the first steps towards professional engineering licensure is passing the National Council ofExaminers for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam.After passing the FE exam, applicants must graduate from an ABET-accredited engineeringprogram, gain work experience, and pass the Principles and

This is because they are to rapidly prototype anddesign products for any number of markets. Although most engineers have the aptitude todirectly influence the economy, they often need training with business ideas [1]. The idea of thetriple constraint is integral in the business and manufacturing worlds. This is the idea whereproduction can happen with the features of fast, good, or cheap (time, scope, cost); one isoptimized, the second constrained, the third left to be.

Examples of projects are the development of software for animproved business process, the construction of a building, the relief effort after a natural disaster,the expansion of sales into a new geographic market, etc. [1]. Projects are temporary efforts tocreate a value based unique product. Every project has a start and an end. A project has a team, aset budget, a timeline, and certain goals that the team needs to meet. The focus of projectmanagement is to effectively plan and organize a project and available resources.

therewere more than 700 Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in the United States and their numbersare expected to grow in the coming decades [1].MSIs enroll diverse populations, and some may qualify for multiple MSI categories. However, insome instances, the student population of MSIs can be rather homogenous.
