A BasicNeeds Satisfaction Scale survey was given at the end of the semester, which measures thesatisfaction of three fundamental psychological needs of autonomy, relatedness and competence.An additional set of survey questions on student’s experience and perception of virtual and in-person learning was also given at the end of the semester. Survey results reveal that although nosignificant difference is observed between virtual and in-person students’ perceived basic needssatisfaction, in-person learners show slightly higher motivation compared to virtual learners, andstudents overwhelmingly prefer in-person over virtual learning.IntroductionProject-based first-year

The Action Technologies® workflow model was used assuring the customer’sconditions of satisfaction would be met. This novel module allowed students to learn the four key stepsof: preparation, negotiation, performance and acceptance.

The achievement of each of the 11 SYEN student outcomes (SOs) is tobe demonstrated by a primary core course and often by one supporting course. The assessment ofeach SO is based on quantitative performance measures that directly assess the SO. Assessmentmethodology is based on the student work, such as assignments, exams, projects, presentations,laboratory experiments, etc. Samples of student work supporting assessment of SOs are retainedand placed in the course binders maintained in the department office.The student outcomes are assessed as per

The evolution of modern technologies (mobile devices, Internet of Things, cloudcomputing, etc.) keeps bringing in challenges in system engineering education. Hands-onpractices may not be sufficient enough to educate engineering students to face the unknownand fast-paced competitions. Imagination should also be considered as one of the keycapabilities for the students to develop in system engineering education.

Project-basedlearning involves assignments that call for students to produce something, such as a process orproduct design. The culmination of the project is normally a written or oral report summarizingwhat was done and what the outcome was. Dym, et al. say that project-based learning hasproduced many innovations in design pedagogy in engineering education.11 Research suggeststhat these kinds of courses appear to improve retention, student satisfaction, diversity, andstudent learning. In problem-based learning, students, usually working in teams, are confrontedwith an ill-structured open ended real-world problem to solve, and take the lead in defining theproblem
