. The final project deliverables include submittinga formal project report documenting the design/fabrication process, flow charts, schematics, andresults and discussion. The students were also required to demonstrate their project, make a formalPowerPoint presentation, and compete against mechanical and civil engineering projects. Thestudents were required to sign the code of conduct and document each team members’ contributionto each project with details of their executed tasks. The students very much enjoyed working in ateam environment.2.

laboratory experiences are less available, including extended school closuresdue to current circumstances or other uncontrollable events, such as natural disasters [7].However, the benefits of these lab kits to grade-school students could extend beyond abnormalcircumstances. They could be used to add increased variety and depth to homework assignments,allowing the educational benefits of lab science to be realized outside of the classroom and thetime and procedural restrictions of in-class labs. Drawing inspiration from the work of Pinnell etal. [8] on engineering challenges for students that utilized fixed sets of materials, the lab kitscould also be tailored to serve as a vehicle for STEM outreach that motivates students to becomemore interested

However, Proceedings of the 2008 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Annual Conference The University of New Mexico – Albuquerque Copyright © 2008, American Society for Engineering Educationqualitative connections can be identified for, before, within, or after undergraduate levelclasses in each subject and assessed. Newer student design competitions should be steadilygrown by industries. Newer research and development laboratories should be opened to bringmore hands on “real world” training from industries to
involvement in his or her academicwork, resulting in better retention of new knowledge and acquisition of desirable personal traits.Any such method that engages students in the learning process is labeled as: “active learning”method. In essence, active learning requires doing meaningful learning activities in groups underthe guidance of an informed and experienced teacher. As stated by Christensen et al (1991), “Toteach is to engage students in learning.” The main point is that engaging students in learning isprincipally the responsibility of the teacher, who becomes less an imparter of knowledge andmore a designer and a facilitator of learning experiences and opportunities. In other words, thereal challenge in college teaching today is not covering
each other and mostly taughtwithout laboratory demonstrations due to lack of laboratory resources, particularly, in small four-year non-research institutions. Therefore, Web-based interactive finite element module would Proceedings of the 2003 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Annual Conference The University of Texas at Arlington Copyright 2003, American Society for Engineering Educationenable engineering educators to couple structural engineering courses with their respective VE,which would enhance problem-based learning. For example, the effect of variation of structure’sparameters on overall structural system performance can easily be studied with the aid ofVE.This was done by

Thedepartment has established a set of specific learning objectives to support the mission and thegoals of the department and meet the requirements of ABET accreditation under the EngineeringCriteria 2000 (EC-2000). The objectives have been reviewed and approved by the majorconstituencies of the department. A process for systematic evaluation and updating of thedepartment’s undergraduate educational objectives and outcome is in place. The faculty of theMechanical Engineering Department and the College Accreditation Committee conduct theseevaluations. The Accreditation Committee has developed
engineering, there were concerns about how social distancing, especially in laboratory exercises,would affect accreditation. The engineering and technology accrediting board, ABET, issued informationrelatively early about changes due to COVID-19. ABET determined short-term changes due to COVIDwould not need to be reported (ABET, 2020). In addition to concerns about having in-person classes andlab exercises, another concern expressed was how to communicate online in ways that are as effectiveas in person. Universities were prompted to provide additional faculty support for teaching and someeven identified some “hacks” that could be used for a graphical interface (University of Nevada Reno,2020). Other lessons learned include better ways to grade

During the present crisis of COVID-19 and in the post-COVID-19scenario thereafter in engineering education, when online instructions are rapidly replacing in-presencelectures at the undergraduate level, mastery learning is even more important in order to avoidprofessional limitations, and in the long run of lifelong learning, professional obsolescence.Key words: concentration, COVID-19, online instructions and lab experiments, academic counselling vs.mentoring.IntroductionIn one of the Indian epics, Mahabharata [1], the master archer, Drona, was teaching

averaged61 graduates per year over the past 40 years. The CEE curricula are summarized in the Un-dergraduate Catalog as programs that “emphasize practical applications of engineering withsufficient theory so that an individual can grow with the future as new materials, methods, anddesigns develop.” The vast majority of graduates enter professional practice. Students whopursue graduate school directly upon graduation are recruited by a number of schools andhave been very successful. The department faculty is a relatively young, dedicated, and col-legial group that is regarded as exemplary throughout the university in terms of teaching ef-fectiveness and in professional development.The existing curriculum at UWP is typical of conventional CEE
strategies in the statics classroom. Currently, Dr. Cutler works as an assessment and instructional support specialist with the Leonhard Center for the Enhance- ment of Engineering Education at Penn State.

institutions ofhigher education throughout the U.S. have experienced additional demands necessitated by themove to online platforms for all teaching and administrative work, as well as strains placed onresearch agendas as laboratories have been closed, fieldwork has been limited, and in-personcontact has been curtailed. At the time of this writing, many universities have remainedshuttered, relying on remote instruction and administration; others have adopted hybrid models.Of those that attempted to fully open for in-person instruction in fall of 2020, many had to asquickly shut down again and send students home, as outbreaks have followed openings [41, 42,43, 44].The economic impacts of the pandemic on the U.S. are many and range in severity.
