, the objectivesremained the same. However, because the second-year students had previous introduction totopics including AutoCAD, Excel, and ArcGIS in their first year, there was a concern that thefirst-year students would not be able to grasp the course content as easily as the second-yearstudents. To compensate for this, the Fundamentals course was expanded from 3-credits to 4-credits with an additional 75 minutes (1 hr 15 min) per week of in-class time for a total of 315minutes (5 hr 15 min). When offered in the first-year, three weekly class meetings were 50minutes each and offered on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule with the remaining 165minutes (2 hr 45 min) reserved for a weekly laboratory session.Additional content that exposes

The coding interviews provided an opportunity for each student to meetindividually with a Teaching Assistant (TA) or Instructor to discuss the core programmingconcepts of the course in the context of code that the student wrote for a previous assignment.The TAs were trained to keep the interviews as an informal discussion focused on the codingconstructs implemented in the student’s code with primary goals as follows: • To ensure each student is developing fundamental programming skills and to flag those

More specifically, this program provided three main objectives,including: (1) providing transdisciplinary engineering design experiences relevant to cutting edgetechnical development for teachers; (2) developing teacher-driven lesson plans that could beimplemented in the classroom, and (3) disseminating results and developed materials to helpteachers in the region and beyond.In this RET site program, teachers rotated to four different research laboratories with a 1.5-to-3-week duration in each at the University of Central Florida (UCF) campus under the guidance offaculty mentors, graduate students and, in some cases, even undergraduate NSF REUparticipants [4].

The transition to remote learning was particularly difficult for many of the hands-on experiential learning and laboratory courses that are integral parts of an engineeringeducation. Very few engineering programs in the United States offer purely remote learningenvironments for engineering students, and so this kind of teaching and learning was new forboth faculty, rapidly adjusting their curriculum in a short amount of time, and for the studentswho had to quickly adapt their learning styles [1]. In addition, most students across the countryleft their campuses and returned home to complete the spring 2020 semester from afar, leading tofewer interactions with their peers, faculty, and staff for

Engineering faculty have many responsibilities, including, but not limited to: teaching a heavy course load, laboratory research, writing publications, applying for funding, attending conferences, managing laboratory materials and safety, mentoring students, networking with industry, and professional development. Therefore, professors’ time is often limited, and professors may not see the value in adjusting a preexisting course. 5. Engineering education is often based on precedent; it is slow to accept change, especially relative to liberal arts

PIV Background PIV is a proven [11], minimally intrusive, flow visualization and measurement techniquewhich employs a digital imager, a high power laser, laser sheet optics, and a fluid of interestseeded using neutrally buoyant “seeding” particles (Figure 1). In many ways, PIV is uniquelysuited for education in that it allows qualitative and quantitative observation of actual flows inreal time. However, laboratory grade PIV systems are traditionally expensive and requireexperienced users for safe and accurate measurement of flow fields. The high cost of these PIVsystems stems from the individual costs of high
