in 2024. This camp is a two-week camp. During the first week, a group of HSTAteachers come to campus to learn about the activities with faculty, meet the mentors, and explorethe campus. The goal of this week is 1) to help teachers prepare to help teach the lesson plans ofthe camp to students, 2) build a database of activities that they can use in the future in theirclassrooms, 3) further their confidence in STEM. The second week students attend the campwhich is broken into three components: STEM activities, a team-building project, andexploration of the regional area.ChallengesRunning these summer programs requires year-round duties of a faculty member to prepare forthe summer months. Responsibilities for the organization of these camps fall

Starkalso created the Contextual Filters Model that provides an overview of the various contexts thatinfluence course planning for college faculty (Lattuca & Stark, 2011; Stark, 2000; Stark et al.,1988). A study by Lund and Stains examines unique environments and contexts of departmentsin influencing STEM faculty’s teaching practices and finds that disciplinary differences exist andhave shown potential associations to level of adoption of evidence-based instructional practices(2015). Another study shows similar findings where faculty’s teaching practices differ based onthe contexts they

. Test Plan and ResultsIn order to test the system, the ladder logic program was written and downloaded to thePLC. After a successful download, the PLC was reset and tested for correctness. This is avery simple process of flipping a switch on or off to simulate parts passing the sensor,etc. If the ladder logic program is not correct, the PLC will either not function at all, orthe results will not be correct. This makes it fairly easy to debug.The program worked exactly as planned in the end. A switch was thrown to simulate theproximity sensor counting. When the switch was thrown the programmed amount oftimes, the robot was set into motion. This is simulated by a light on the PLC lighting up.When the time elapsed for the robot to take the tray to

the first-year experience.Backward Design and the CAP modelThe backward design of curricular development starts with the basic idea of starting from the end, wherewe envision our students to be after the learning experience we are designing [4]. Its central premise isthat once the educational purposes (i.e., the learning outcomes) of a learning experience areconscientiously selected, the rest of the elements of the experience (i.e., the pedagogical activities, andcorresponding assessments) should be designed toward the achievement of those identified outcomes [5].Therefore, the three main stages of backward design are: (1) identifying desired results, (2) determiningacceptable evidence, and (3) planning learning experiences and instruction

The remote experiments, testing, and evaluations were done following a formal and methodic approach, instead of ad hoc practices. In general, this approach led to effective and efficient experiments, and also served as a model to think creatively and methodically for solving engineering problems and planning prototype development. Overall, the design and use of the test board proved instrumental in the successful remote delivery of our digital laboratory course such that all the previous in person course experiments were completed in the online course without any limitations and the course’s educational outcomes were

. However, in recent years, many of the manufacturing-related machines haveevolved to be non-hands-on. Consequently, more time is spend planning the process, for instancein CAD/CAM environments. The analysis of data is becoming more important in recent years aswell. Not just since the rise of Industry 4.0 is the number of sensors steadily increasing,generating an ever bigger amount of data. Along with this trend, the learning goals of laboratorycourses shift accordingly – from manual operation of machines towards process planning,observation and data analysis. This enables to use of so-called remote laboratories as part offlipped laboratory concepts, given their shifted focus of achievable learning outcomes [2], [6].Such remote laboratories are

Furthermore, this foundational knowledge must extend beyond traditionalacademic planning. Students need to explore the broader field of electrical and computerengineering with respect to the “big ideas” in the discipline, relevant career options, and areas ofresearch to build an understanding of the fields of electrical and computer engineering in the realworld.Additionally, the School of

All purchasescharged directly to the department were made by the department chair via the one departmentcredit card. These were then shipped to the department and distributed to the teams by the courseprofessor. While this assured accountability of university funds, it limited the times the studentscould receive parts and work on their tunnels. While shipping times are a constraint that is out ofthe control of the department, the plan is to revise the purchasing process in order to reduce thelag time and stress of all parties involved.

COVID-19 Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, we operated under two primary modalities: visiting localschools and hosting events on campus at the University of Michigan. The primary audience forboth types of outreach were middle school students. Though these formats varied in logisticalconsiderations such as space and equipment use, they shared key attributes of being highlyinteractive, employing standards-based lesson plans, and framing concepts to be relatable to“novice” audiences. A more thorough description of these modalities is described in AppendixA. With the onset of COVID-19 and the pivot to remote learning, we could no longer rely oneither of these models for our outreach activities, but instead sought to incorporate strengths ofboth
