This survey focused on examining the impacts of the mid-spring switch to onlineinstruction and the anticipated impacts of continued online instruction. Figure 1 presents theseinstructor perceptions in two graphs (n= 15). The questions presented in this figure were asked using aslider along a continuum from “Much Worse” to “Much Better”.

The engineers learned through multiplevenues, including such as learning by themselves and learning from their mentors. Thisstudy will provide practical suggestions for improving engineering education in bothChina and other similar contexts.Introduction Previous studies have indicated that engineering graduates still do not fully reachthe requirement of the industry whether from a global or domestic perspective [1],[2],[3]. Therefore, it has become a challenge for universities to enrich the industrialexperience of engineering students in the process of school education

framework are the blocking factor and the delayfactor. The blocking factor of a course refers to the number of courses inaccessible to a studentwho fails the course in question. The delay factor of a course is the longest prerequisite chainflowing through it. When added together, the two metrics form the course’s cruciality. Ademonstration of the calculation for the blocking factor and delay factor is given in Figure 1. Tocharacterize the overall curriculum's complexity, we can sum the crucialities together to form anaggregate measure called the structural complexity. Previous research has shown that structuralcomplexity correlates well with FTIC student graduation rates [5] but does not for transferstudents [6], suggesting that the current metric

Male and female stereotypes lead to reverse gender outcomes in STEM fields.IntroductionAlthough women are the minority in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) fields and degree programs in most countries throughout the world, reversed genderstereotyping is evident in countries such as Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Sweden, and Iran,where women outnumber men in education and STEM fields. In fact, the 2020 report of theNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine states that Kuwaiti femalesexperience no gender-related academic barriers, with females comprising 60%–80% of collegestudents in STEM programs and 81.7% of governmental STEM jobs [1].

One method to learn moreabout the utilization of active learning pedagogies is to observe teaching and learning in real timeusing a protocol that describes the interaction between pedagogy, space, and technology [1]. Theuse of observation to provide information on teaching practices is a well documented concept[2], [3], [4]. Teaching and Learning Centers have a long history of offering classroomobservations and these are frequently used to provide formative and summative feedback toinstructors, teaching teams, and academic leaders [4].

IntroductionGiven clear evidence of disparities in educational attainment, much importance has been placedon increasing use of inclusive teaching to help close this so-called achievement gap [1]–[4]. Inscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines, deliberate inclusive practicemay reduce the “leaving” phenomenon where those underrepresented amongst STEM majorssuch as women and minoritized racial groups would otherwise fail to complete their STEMdegree program [5]–[7]. For example, active learning has been shown to improve learning gainsand reduce failure rates especially among underrepresented minority (URM) students [2].Similarly, current recommendations

This early exposure is also useful in understanding connectionsbetween coursework related to mathematics, science, and liberal arts. For example, a pilot studyfound that students who were introduced to neuroscience in the context of health sciencespossessed an increased knowledge and awareness of the growing concerns related to mentalhealth issues [2]. Another study found that students who pursued higher education in STEMreported having an early personal connection to their field through a family member or friendwith a career in STEM [3].

Many studies have pointed to the importance of communication skill for engineers [1-9],but at the same time, many other studies have pointed to a gap in the preparation of engineers topresent their work. For instance, at Ohio State University, a survey of 2,100 engineering alumni[1] ranked the importance of communicating orally as 4.30 (out of 5) but rated their preparationin the skills as only 3.26.

An advantage of the Big Five inventorycompared to assessments like the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator [8], is that the Big Fiveinventory places individuals on a continuum of personality traits rather than in distinctcategories. Personality components included in the Big Five inventory include Extraversion,Agreeableness, Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism.

For their senior projects, students apply thebackground and skills accumulated through coursework in researching a problem, for whichthen a solution is investigated, designed and implemented. A significant part of the knowledgeand skills needed for the projects are straightforward learning from the actual courses taken inthe program, but often new skills are needed, specific to the project topic selected, and studentsneed to apply their learning skills in researching a new subject, or getting familiar with a newpiece of hardware or software platform
