Teamwork has increasingly gained the interest of educators as an effective pedagogical toolfor the preparation of students for the “real-world” (Gantasala, 2016). Collaborative assignmentsand projects, which invariably involve teamwork are considered high impact practices (HIPs) inhigher education (Adrade et al, 2020). High impact practices engage students in purposeful,interactive learning aimed at developing skills such as communication, problem solving,teamwork, critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, and information literacy (Kuh, 2008). Pastresearch shows that students who participate in HIP, including those who are historicallyunderserved by higher education, improve their performance, and have higher persistence andgraduation rates

Students might keep a weekly journal ofreflections, e.g. regarding campus activities in which they have participated or academicdifficulties they have encountered and overcome [4]. Ambitious programs ask each student tocreate a portfolio of work (including narrated audio/video reflections) which helps him/her toidentify as an engineer [10].Most published literature recommends that a large portion of first-year students’ grades be basedon projects -- generally team efforts [5, 6, 10, 18, 20–23].

Design (SoftDes), is not a traditionalone: many topics typical of a CS1 course are left out to make room for project work and skillslikely to be used in practice, such as version control and data science tools. However, retentionrates and student perceptions of SoftDes say little about how students view the course in thecontext of their overalll education, or how these skills are useful in their future studies,internships, or jobs. Despite this, SoftDes is designed to better equip students with computingskills, whatever they may end up doing, and traditional metrics do not capture the success of thecourse in that goal.In the summer of 2020, we undertook a major redesign of SoftDes in preparation for the Fall 2020semester.

Student perspectives guide us inimproving the integration of character education within engineering education. Key facets thatare essential to this integration are the project-based learning environment that cuts across thecurriculum from year one to year four and other innovative pedagogies (e.g., use of mastery-based learning approaches, flipped classrooms environments, case-based learning, andcollaborative learning).Table 2 presents some of the engineering courses and their associated primary virtues targeted.Courses with targeted virtues means that engineering faculty took intentional steps to introduceand talk about

Such efforts have beendocumented in literature, including developing new lab tools, incorporating project-basedlearning, and proposing new course assessment methodologies and educational interventions.Adopting a student-centric lens, we propose a new methodology for early ECE courseassessment called CARE, referring to the intersecting areas of the most Challenging AndRewarding Experiences that students have had in line with the main course

This simulator is developed over the course ofa semester by coupling the active learning techniques of the flipped classroom model and project-based learning. In the course, students watch videos prior to class to learn about modeling andimplementation techniques. In the class, students work with instructors and teaching assistants tobuild a simulator in a

UniversityAbstract Amidst concerns of climate change, pollution, and a rapid increase in oil prices, hybrid cars have become more favorable than traditional fuel cars. However, purchasing a new hybrid car is an expensive endeavor. The purpose of our project was to design a combination device that can be installed in an old gas car to give it the advantages of a hybrid. Companies such as Toyota and Tesla are using similar technical principles, but the essence of our approach is the development of a device compatible with older vehicles. This allows customers who previously owned the vehicle to enjoy the same performance improvements and fuel economy as an expensive hybrid at a lower price. The core idea of the design is regenerative braking, which
