They stated, “I had a group project in the spring and they hada hard time working together in terms of common times and just engaging at a distance, so ifthey’re not all on campus, and not even in the same time zone, it created some challenges.”In terms of a positive impact due to COVID-19, one faculty member mentioned that recordinglectures as videos provided the opportunity to “flip the classroom” and change their typicalteaching method. This was something they had wanted to incorporate previously but did not havethe time or opportunity. However, one faculty had the opposite experience. As a more

Perhaps not surprisingly, all GLAs surveyed indicated that theynoticed a change in their role and responsibilities since

As their conversationprogressed, it became apparent that several of these male students had not previously been in agroup with a female classmate, and were not happy that they had to be now. In reference to thegirls in their class, they callously used names such as “annoying girl”, “space cadet” and “coffeebitch”. Their annoyance with the assigned groups was obvious except for one student whom theothers dubbed “lucky”; he was in a group with Nicki. Their conversation continued as follows:“Lucky” student: But he made it so most of the groups have a girl in themStudent 1: Yeah

large, end-of-semester project, online courses should offer many opportunities for quickfeedback. Having many small stakes assignments that continually build upon each other puts theonus on students to stay engaged and current with all course material. Researchers recommendbreaking large assignments into smaller segments; this allows for faster grading and morefeedback to students. Additionally, rubrics and grading schemes should be transparent to studentsso they fully understand expectations [5, pp. 179-182]. Another way to incorporate feedback isthrough gamification. Incorporating game-like qualities into online courses provides timelyfeedback and keeps student engagement high. The best way to gamify a course is to build arunning narrative

Moreover, IE instructors interested in providingan immersive and integrative learning experience to their students could leverage the VRlearning modules developed for this project.1. IntroductionLike the majority of engineering curricula, the structure of the Industrial Engineering (IE)curriculum consists of a set of courses that are ordered in a sequence such that later courses buildupon the knowledge learned in the earlier courses, with each course usually being taught by adifferent instructor 1.

Inthis meta-analysis, Gellin et al.

On campusemployment such as working on research projects and campus services usually allow students tohave more contact with faculty members and peers, and apply what they learned in classroominto their jobs; while off campus employment provides fewer opportunities for students tointegrate their classroom experiences with their job duties. Another factor that off campusemployment may negatively affect academic performance is the work schedule. Studentsworking on retail

Furthermore, the mentors wanted more time to help their students prepare meaningful posters for the closing poster symposium.

The math expectations usually exceed typical computer science requirements, whichleaves instructors of game physics limited choices: showing formulas without derivation (a kindof “hand-waving”) teaching abstract concepts using physics APIs, e.g., [40, 50-53], reducingmathematical complexity, or perhaps raising the expectations to graduate level or beyond.Given that my students already tend to use physics APIs in group projects in other courses, Ihave concentrated on using smaller examples to develop mastery of the concepts. With regard tophysics APIs, I have a section of the course where students use an API, but I also warn thestudents—why use a sledgehammer when a ballpeen hammer will suffice

Once in an engineering technology program a student cantransfer to an engineering department by completing the requisite courses and maintaining acertain GPA; however African American students rarely pursue this pathway- either due to lackof information, or due to the psychological and motivational barriers.Future WorkFor the next phase of the project the survey

Biasing networks are critical for signal processing via BJT circuits, yetcoverage of such networks in physics and electrical engineering courses and texts is sparse andfrequently secondary to coverage of the amplifier circuits themselves.

The problem is feeling a list doesn’t really help me. I need to feel and see the materials in order to fully understand their capabilities as well as their limitations.4Stocking a sufficient repertoire is based on all the students’ experiences in the domain, whichincludes coursework, past experience, extracurricular design experience, and so forth.Thus, effective verbal
