is a key component of CEL and can be challenging toimplement [1].CEL has been shown to be highly impactful in shaping educational experiences of students inuniversity [2], [3]. However, it can also be resource intensive, necessarily taking time and effortto cultivate community partners and establish strong relationships. These strong relationships areimportant to ensure the project will benefit all stakeholders in a meaningful way. Ensuring this isoccurring can be difficult and there is a rich literature on critical service learning which examinesthese challenges [4]–[6].Both University of British Columbia (UBC) Campuses have undertaken studies on experientiallearning, including CEL [7], [8].

perspectives of STEMuniversity education and career paths [1] – [3].This paper describes the development of a new engineering outreach program, Engineering 11,by the School of Engineering, University of British Columbia, Okanagan (UBCO) throughcollaboration with the Central Okanagan School District (SD 23). UBCO Engineering 11consists of several modules covering a wide range of engineering disciplines and subjects, suchas civil, environmental, mechanical, biomedical and electrical engineering, and engineeringethics, aiming to provide senior high school students an opportunity to explore the manydisciplines of engineering and career pathways. The course is designed to be taughtcollaboratively by a physics teacher of SD 23 and faculty and graduate

Additionally,clinical studies have shown significant improvement in human health recovery with the assisted VRmotor trainings [6]. Virtual environments can serve as a mediator between the human operator and therobotic arms to improve perception of the equipment. In this study we explore the effectiveness of a VRsimulated Fanuc robotic arm as a remote learning tool. We replicated the existing robotics laboratory inthe VR environment to provide realistic experience to the students in the

results from a survey conducted among the total population of 510 students from year 1 toyear 4 undergraduate students in three different universities. The students responded to aquestionnaire examining the factors that motivate them to work hard on their studies. Motivation,concentration, and learning are highly complex aspects of a student’s behavior. The relationshipbetween student concentration in a class and learning has been a prominent research topic ineducational studies.BackgroundMotivation is an important key to a student’s success [1-3]. Therefore, every learning-orientedentity aims to investigate the factors that affect the motivation of students to concentrate andlearn better. Many researchers have been widely studied motivational

classes unprepared for the open-ended, team-based workexpected. While students have learned to solve a variety of engineering problems within specificdisciplines, they have not learned to follow an engineering process to identify and formulate areal-world problem and to apply their disparate problem-solving skills to that problem.The engineering process comprises six well-established steps: 1. Define the problem to be solved to ensure a common understanding and to avoid later scope creep. 2. Specify system-level requirements following the SMART model: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-constrained. 3. Conduct trade studies to identify the concept that best meets the requirements. Brainstorm a range of potential

Understanding of Rigid Body KinematicsIntroduction Rigid body kinematics is the study of the motion of non-deforming objects. In atraditional American university or college, students are taught this subject of dynamics primarilythrough one-sided lectures, with a large emphasis on descriptive mathematics [1]. Feedback frompanels, blue-ribbon commissions, and the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technologysuggests that these methods of instruction lack efficacy in engineering education [3]. Studieshave shown that students study harder and develop greater skills with the material when they areinterested in the subject matter and believe there is a reason to understand the concepts [3].Cognitive studies have also shown that people often learn

Halting college is broadlyunderstood to impose irreversible mental, financial, and time losses to students [2].To date, numerous reasons have been identified to explain why students choose to halt theireducation; they include: financial problems, lack of interest in studies, lagged behind in studyprogression, and inadequate information and guidance [3]. In many cases, the reasoning is relatedto academic performance; however, the determination to

Even thoughengineering products have consequences on society and the environment, engineering coursesseldom provide students with a deep understanding of the complex societal and environmentaldimensions of engineering practice [1], [3].

. Results of theseanalyses are shared.IntroductionThe typical learning experience of students reinforce their perceptions of the teachers asauthority figures. The students thus strive in general to respond to their teachers’ questions withanswers that they think the teacher is looking for. Thus, in their understanding, a question or aproblem has either a right answer or a wrong answer. This binary world view of the students andtheir subsequent transition to a more nuanced understanding, was studied by Perry [1]. Heidentified nine positions of a young adult’s understanding of the world, dividing it into fourmajor grouping of dualism, multiplicity, relativity and commitment. Dualism is the belief thatevery problem is solvable, and the correct answer

According to ABET [3,4], Data science draws on knowledge, skills and abilities from computing, mathematics, and statistics, allapplied in the context of domains that make use of data. The pervasive reach and multi-disciplinary nature of datascience causes special challenges in uniting traditionally separate disciplines into a coherent approach that produces ethical and well-trained practitioners.
