/case studies and the engineering lab was made to help students drawconnections between what they had just heard and what they were doing in their design projects.The semester was split such that the first third of the semester focused on rubber laboratorytesting, while the last two-thirds focused on an engineering design-build-test project.During the laboratory testing portion, students performed various strength tests on different typesof rubber. This included tensile tests and puncture tests on unmodified rubber, as well as tensiletests on rubber samples that had been heat aged and submerged in liquid. Students tested nitrile(Buna-N), neoprene, styrene-butadiene (SBR), and silicone rubber samples and recorded theirresults. Students then

at theundergraduate level: civil engineering and architecture. In contrast, at a global scale, there arethree majors related to the conception of infrastructure: architecture, civil engineering andconstruction engineering/management with more than 20 areas of specialization. In Ecuador,civil engineering students may share their faculty with other engineers, while architecturestudents may fall under the faculty of arts, history, and design.Throughout each major, there are different ways to develop activities that require group orindividual assignments. Knowing these methods is relevant to understand how collaborativework is fostered. In the first semesters of civil engineering at USFQ, in some activities and inalmost all laboratories
constraints were considered in designing the assembly line for classroompurposes: the available laboratory space and the number of students expected to register for coursesthat will utilize the facility. The assembly line was designed to have seven (7) stations based onthese factors. The line was designed to produce two models (Sports Car and Airplane) from aLEGO creator 3 in 1 product, making it a mixed-model production line. The item number for the 3LEGO product is 6288722, with 134 pieces. Figure 1 shows the seven stations mixed-modelassembly line and the two models produced on the line. Figure 1.

These strategies were found to be extremely useful in securingthe initial full-accreditation by ABET (in August of 2020) within five years of program inception,with the optimized use of limited resources of our small rural institution serving underrepresentedminority (URM; 77%, approximately 72% Hispanics) and academically underprepared students
]. Bakırcı & Karışan [8] found that math PSThad lower STEM awareness than science and primary PST teachers. Many teach how theylearned within traditional settings [9]. PSTs can feel intimidated and overwhelmed whenincorporating engineering design or STEM [10], and need more help creating interdisciplinaryideas when un-siloing STEM content [11]. Katehi et al. [4] suggest that for teachers to teachengineering confidently, they must either have a STEM background or partner with someonewho does.PST education programs have a variety of methods to integrate STEM and Engineering into theircourse work. Some have a specific university course where PSTs learn about STEM and visitSTEM laboratories within the university [12] [13]. Others have a design

addition, tracking student gestures during laboratory work and explanationscan also reveal when students are in transitional knowledge states and are highly receptive tonew instruction. In particular, discordant gestures indicate a students’ heightened readiness tolearn [21] and can signal opportunities for instructors to enhance the learning experience.Gestures also reveal the importance of eliciting and cultivating embodied learning experiencesfor students. Highly math-centric approaches to engineering education do little to engage thepowerful and flexible resources for grounding and embodied simulation that are available to alllearners.Finally, this study has several limitations. The sample of size of this pilot study is small and thestudents
syllabus isuniform with standardized lesson objectives. Teams of instructors within each academic term areresponsible for developing homework assignments, exams, laboratory exercises, design projects,and in-class problems under the supervision of a course director. The course director schedulesperiodic lesson conferences for the MC311 team to assess course progress and to map outupcoming activities. It is both efficient and effective to work together to provide the best learningexperience.Retraining ApproachThe road to mastery in any field of human endeavor assumes a unique path based on theindividual.

To promote inclusive practice, faculty utilized recorded lectures,online collaboration tools and instant messaging apps to provide multiple ways ofcommunication for students.

research was challenging for both faculty and students,as many conferences and journals are discipline-specific. One semester may not be sufficient tosubmit final research product for journal publication. Literature review papers may be more suitedto being completed in the one semester period. The two projects, which include laboratory-basedexperiments, required additional time beyond the course, and student teams may not have theability to complete them. During the spring 2021 semester, there was a lot of uncertainty aboutconferences modes (virtual, hybrid, or in person) and with conference deadlines six months ormore before the conference, these factors may have steered students away from selecting aconference paper as a product.
