Also, students had the opportunity to clarifydoubts about different engineering programs offered at the CoE, learn about typical tasksperformed by different engineering branches, learn about research laboratories, manufacturing,and service facilities; and use math and science concepts in the solution of engineeringproblems.A. Course DeliveryThe course was offered as one weekly meeting of fifty minutes for fifteen weeks per semester(1 credit hour). The topics covered in the course included: Introduction to Engineering; TeamBuilding in Engineering; The Engineering Design Process; Ethics in Engineering Design; andseven lectures, one on each of the academic departments in the CoE.

However, statistically significant interactions in our complexmodel might indicate that the escape room exercise enhanced prior laboratory work recollection,something that should be explored in future research with a broader sample.While there is no statistical significance that can be seen in the students’ final exam grades, thereis still value in executing the escape room as a course review exercise, which is demonstratedthrough student feedback. Looking at the word clouds shown in Figure 5, multiple studentsmentioned team aspects. 80% of students who participated in the escape room either agreed orstrongly agreed that the escape room required teamwork to be completed.

In this extensive survey, student motivation (42% ofrespondents) was identified as the most significant factor that contributed to course difficulties.Remote learning was present long before the pandemic. Bourne et. al. [5] provide examples ofonline engineering programs and courses dating back to the early 1990s. They identified thedevelopment of meaningful laboratory experiences as one of the major hurdles to onlineengineering education. Park et. al. discussed the challenges associated with delivery of online labcourses in engineering programs, the core part of the undergraduate engineering curriculums andmandated for accredited programs [6], and reflected on the emotional toll of online learningduring the pandemic for students.

At Purdue University, 128 countries are represented bythe 2,369 IGES in the College of Engineering; this is among a total of 4,992 graduate students inengineering at our institution [4]. There are 52 African students, 814 East Asian or from thePacific, 75 from Europe or Eurasia, 111 from the Near East, 1,161 from South or Central Asia,and 156 from the Western Hemisphere.Although there is a large number of IGES, these students face many barriers that domesticgraduate students do not typically share. For instance, non-native English speakers mayexperience language barriers in the classroom or laboratory. Studies have shown thatinternational students usually read well, but their

Dr. Priddy is the PI of the Computational Mechanics and Materials Laboratory (CMML) at MSU. The primary research focus of CMML is the finite element modeling of complex phenomena (e.g., ad- ditive manufacturing) and advanced material modeling of various material classes (e.g., metals) for the purpose of translating knowledge from research-based simulations to a tractable format for the larger en- gineering
enrollment course. Research should expand Hartman’s experiences withmore scholarship to understand how these influence faculty assessment decisions, such as usingtests, which our findings will begin to address. Another form of course context is the type of courses that influence the faculty’s coursedecisions. In engineering curricula, courses are typically in the form of introductory courses,fundamental engineering courses, laboratory courses, and capstone courses (Lord & Chen, 2015;Sheppard et al., 2009). Stark (2000) has argued that instructors of introductory courses tend toshape their goals of the course based on nature of the disciplines, and subsequently their courseplanning.

. Second,engineering researchers can narrowly isolate experimental variables and follow uniform andwidely-accepted laboratory testing standards. The results from engineering research are well-defined and replicable, and proposed models can be validated. Unlike engineering research,EER typically includes a broad range of uncontrollable confounding variables and a lack ofspecificity and guidance in the selection of appropriate theoretical frameworks and analyticalmethods [5,6].Since engineering faculty are often the initiators of EER studies, it is logical that faculty whoalready teach engineering courses and conduct engineering research may be inclined to pursueEER opportunities.

The major obstacles that hinder students are [10]: • Students need to work full-time or part-time to be able to continue and finish their education. • Students had many courses and most of the courses require laboratory time and lots of homework. • Unpaid or poorly paid internships • Lack of transportation between work and school limited students on campus jobs, not internshipsABET criterion 5 is” a minimum of 30 semester credit hours (or equivalent) of a combination ofcollege-level mathematics and basic sciences with experimental experience appropriate to theprogram

These workshops will be piloted at the fiveinstitutions involved with this project and assessment of the workshops will be accomplishedsurveying the faculty who attend the workshops. From the assessment the workshops will beimproved for future offerings.References[1] Holstein, W. K., “Research and Development,” Britannica.

Students recognize that the department’s grading structure does not inhibit collaboration and informal peer tutoring, rather it is encouraged.
