Three additional students praised the use of HyFlex formatting inthe class they attended but noted that the format might not be appropriate for all courses,particularly those that utilize laboratory equipment, advanced courses, or courses involvinghands-on design projects. While this study provides some interesting preliminary evidence of student perceptionsand possible utility of HyFlex course format, it is important to remember that this is a pilot studywith a low sample size.

the first to do so. The specific implementation forms include: offering dedicated STEM courses, club-based teaching, focusing on science and technology competitions, project-based courses, open laboratory space-oriented, and diversified comprehensive courses[22]. From the gradually “captivating” development of theory and practice, we cannot help but raise the following question: under the unique institutional context in China, what exactly are the core connotations and the primary form represented by STEM education? What factors make it up? What is the relationship between these factors? Answering these questions has important implications for the in-depth promotion of STEM education in China and

In such cases, it was crucial toinvolve the coordination of the engineering program and the PMG program to engageprofessors and assist in developing these rubrics through workshops. The training provided by the MECEK laboratory on competence-based education inengineering courses and the experiences facilitated by the PMG program, in partnership withexperts from North American universities, were crucial in understanding tools and methodsfor competency evaluation, their application in the Brazilian context, and organizingworkshops conducted by the EWG to create rubrics
teachers’beliefs, in large part because they develop a systematic understanding of the nature of science andscientific investigations. Teacher experiences working with professional engineers engaged inempirical research in a laboratory setting are likely limited. Findings from studies investigatingthe outcomes of teachers engaged in research opportunities with scientists have reported researchexperiences help teachers understand the knowledge-generating process of science via immersionin the culture [8]. In addition to participating in a culture of science, teachers also reported learningabout new techniques central to the data collection process of a specific discipline, as well as howto enact “creative alteration” of experimental procedures [8
authorityfigure, who traditionally was male. Authority has been studied related to other issues likeclassroom and laboratory work, but reading/following directions is not central to these studies[42]. A third possible explanation is that female students who self-select into engineering arebetter students on average than male students, which would involve a subset from other studiesof first-year college students [43]. This third hypothesis could be examined using standardizedtest scores or high school grades or rank. Since most students in the MEB course are in theirsecond semester of their engineering education, only one semester of grade data is available fromtheir university transcripts.When focusing on higher education, few examples of

graduates [5].However, despite extensive research about how to promote change in undergraduate STEMeducation, systematic change has been limited [6], [7]. Many change initiatives and models thathave been utilized to study and promote change have failed to achieve the adoption of research-based instructional practices at universities [8], [9]. Similar trends in research have beenidentified within engineering education [10]. Thus, it is evident that alternative and more holisticways to understand and support change are needed.The COVID-19 pandemic created a real-world laboratory to explore what instructional practicesand strategies were changed and sustained when instructors were forced to use new instructionalmethods under uncertain situations

For each project, essential mechanical units were provided and thestudents were tasked with developing and testing a prototype unit or in a laboratory setting.Because of the limited time allotted to the project during the semester (approximately 6 weeks),the instructor gave the specific problem definition to the students, rather than having the studentsperform their own problem definition based upon a more generic needs statement.The objective of the water purification project was to develop a prototype device for on-demandpurification of

These course options may differ in focus (e.g.,a general math statistics course versus a statistics offered in mechanical engineering) or teachingstyle (a lecture-based thermodynamics course versus a course that also includes a laboratory). Insome cases students may be offered greater choices to select from a menu with different courses(e.g., select a course that satisfies a history requirement) or have a much more open choice suchas a technical elective. Free electives give students complete autonomy to select any collegecourse of interest, and may be
