Jenson and Raisor linked their classroom onthe main campus of the university to a classroom at a remote location. A 50 minute connectionwas made three times a week for 15 weeks, resulting in interactive web-based lectures for theremote location. Students from both locations were required to complete 19 laboratory exercisesusing Pro/Engineer, however, the software was only resident at the main campus. Students at theremote

Through laboratory demonstrations, interactive multimedialectures, and hands-on activities, girls meet positive role models (both female and male) and getto think about the possibilities they have for careers in the technical fields.Many Career Day participants and their parents expressed a need for a multiple-day programheld over the summer--a kind of engineering day camp for girls to get more information andexperience with engineering, and to form relationships with female engineer role models.Undergraduate members of the Society of Women Engineers at Northwestern Universitytherefore went about designing

To the contrary, we content that a combination of abundance and easyaccess does not automatically improve teaching or enhance learning. The almost hypnoticappeal that digital resources have for students and the availability of computer laboratories inmost schools may make for a situation in which new media can be used for surface engagementor as quickly-implemented filler on days when the lesson plan has run dry.PRISM was designed to

The course was traditionally graded based on a weighted average of homeworkscores, laboratory scores, midterm exam scores, and the final exam score. Students would haveonly been aware of their performance on a course concept by identifying the concept(s) involvedwith a homework or exam problem and comparing their score to the standard institutionalgrading scale.After the introduction of SBG in Spring 2020, the lecture style was intentionally not changed,except for adaptations due to the COVID pandemic.

World War II. The need for militarydevelopment and space exploration during the Cold War era fueled a marked shift in the natureof engineering degrees with a heavy engineering science component [1], [2]. As the engineeringprograms became more science-heavy, ET programs started being established to prepareprofessionals who were trained in specific domains of technology and could fill the need for“skilled crafts and the highly scientific professions” (Smith and Lipsett, 1956, as cited in [1]).As a result, one significant aspect of the ET degree is its emphasis on practical and laboratory-based instruction and relatively less focus on advanced mathematics. As a report by the NationalAcademy of Engineering notes, “the pedigree of ET is rooted in
