possible due to COVID-19.7. Future plansWe are repeating this exercise in Spring 2021. Engineering students submit an initial conceptpaper describing an initial design for the room, and a mid-project report that includes pictures ofthe SolidWorks model. These are both sent to the nursing students who provide feedback. Thefinal product is the SolidWorks model, a final report, pictures, and a video walkthrough of theER room. The report, pictures and walkthrough are sent to the nursing students. This year allstudents are designing emergency rooms, with about 32 students working with nursing, andabout 16 working independently. The use of the Vive for a VR walkthrough will probably beattempted in 2022.8. Research questionsWe plan to conduct this

Assessment and evaluation activities are important aspects of this work, butrequire significant attention to capture the range of activities undertaken by very small cohorts ofinterdisciplinary students and faculty. Our goal was to develop a “sustainable” evaluation plan given ourobservation that programs often begin with very ambitious assessment and data collection goals thatdiminish over time. This paper is a case study that describes the rationale for our assessment andevaluation choices, and select results from these activities.INTRODUCTIONThe National Science Foundation’s Research Traineeship Program (NRT) supports university efforts toexplore ways to equip master’s and doctoral degree students with the skills, knowledge and

For DE students, thechanges in course delivery were relatively small. For many F2F students, taking all coursesonline was neither expected nor planned when they came to this college. Both F2F and DEstudents were also facing additional challenges and stressors, physically, mentally, andfinancially. It is important to find a way to make the online transition as seamless as possible.3. STRATEGIES OF MOVING COURSES ONLINEIn the classes I

Additionally, it is planned toassess the effectiveness of these methods on enhancing student learning. This will be done 323 through the use of control and treatment groups as well as pre- and post-deployment of a concept inventory to allow for comparison of student concept retention between the groups.

In addition to the demand for implementation ofenergy conservation, Energy Managers are obligated to develop a future plan that alleviates riskthrough alternate energy sources, financial derivative, and overall management plan. Further,these managers must develop requested proposals, supervise the construction, measurement, andverification of the energy savings.

About a year after the formation of the day version a full-time faculty membertook over the evening cornerstone/intro course which resulted in more opportunity forcollaboration and sharing of resources between the versions.

, it has been difficult to prove the benefits of field trips to both the students and thefield trip hosts [13]. In order to reap the benefits of field trips, previous studies emphasize theimportance of preplanning [13-15]. When planning a good field trip, many instructors match theobjectives of the field trip to the topics that the students are learning in class [16-18]. Onecommon intended benefit of an engineering or technology field trip is to give students exposureto a specific industry and the subjects discussed in class [16], [17]. Field trips are also used inintroduction courses to give the students hands-on experience with the unfamiliar subject [18],[19].
