This leads to many engineering educators to choose lecture capture—streamed and/or recorded— as a way to serve distance education students. However, this approach fails to make use of the capabilities of quality online
engineering design and how that learning supports transfer of learning from school into professional practice as well as exploring students’ conceptions of diversity and its importance within engineering fields.Michelle Kay Bothwell, Oregon State University Michelle Bothwell is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at Oregon State University.

-defined class that closelymatches a target function in a task-specific manner, which has a large number of applications inengineering such as, face recognition, image classification, and robotics navigation and motionplanning. In this paper, we present how we follow the project-based and divide-and-conquerpedagogies to help students design, implement, debug, and operate an efficient neural networksmodel for function approximation. The effectiveness of the neural network model for functionapproximation is evaluated through various milestone assignments, milestone reports, presentations,and other activities. Teaching and learning strategies of this neural network model methodology forfunction approximation were validated by learning outcomes of
systems, resilient and fault-tolerant control, and networked control systems.

them develop stronger teams with more awarenessof the importance of professional skills for engineers. DBR is a method that was developed toaddress the limitations of laboratory experiments in the social and behavioral sciences. Findingthat very few, even well-tested laboratory studies had impact on actual teaching and learning,researchers developed DBR as a way to test theories about how learning can be supported. DBRinvolves building a theory that takes context seriously and instantiating the theory into a designfor learning [46]. Iterative testing of the design under real world conditions provides anopportunity to assess both the design and the theory [5], [6].We were guided by the following research questions:RQ 1: How do sophomores’ and
