IntroductionA common theme across university-level engineering courses is the overlooking of strategiesstudents use to learn material in favor of technical material coverage [1], [2], [3]. Causes for thisimbalance include educators’ beliefs that there is limited class time to teach an abundance ofnecessary information and that reflection, as an example of a learning strategy that engineeringeducators could develop, is better suited for humanities courses, not engineering [3]. As anexample, Ndethiu et al. [2] showed that engineering educators did not play a role in third

transitioning from industry to academia, based upon the recent experiences of surveyedfaculty who have completed this transition successfully. This preliminary work is intended toseek feedback that will be helpful for expanding this work to a more extensive survey of facultythat fit this category. The most obvious challenge is the adjustment to teaching rather thanworking in an engineering production, design, or consulting environment for industry. However,the information presented here includes a myriad of challenges beyond teaching, includingdeveloping an academic research program through direction of graduate work, and satisfying thevarious professional development, service, and research requirements expected of universityprofessors [1, 2].The three

Finally, we discuss lessons learned and howwe have continued to update this format in future semesters with more ability to meet in-person.Class formatOur overarching strategy in moving to the virtual format was to capitalize on the advantages ofthe online format, when possible, especially to ensure student interaction and engagement.

Numerous authors and researchers have documented the need and benefits ofengaging students beyond the “traditional” lecture approach to improve learning in theclassroom. Lowman [1] in Mastering the Techniques of Teaching states: “Listening andthinking activities are the primary activities by which students learn during class, yet studentslearn most from what they see.” Similarly, Freeman and Walsh [2] identify engaging multipleintelligences, including spatial intelligence, as one of “ten brain-based

Traditionally, control usingPLCs is not taught in a ECE undergraduate or graduate curriculum. However, an electrical and/ormechanical engineer needs these skills to work in a variety of industries. Typical ECEcurriculum includes control theory, analog and digital electronics but seldom include courses inPLCs and integrating them with different equipment. This missing link led to the development ofPLC and industrial instrumentation related courses in remote learning and technology programs[7]-[10

simple answer “you are going to use it in college” [1]. It’s important thatstudents understand that they are not learning a set of individual topics in the class. They aredeveloping the academic competencies that allow them to go beyond the singularity of thetopic and connect it to a global picture of knowledge.The narrative in which teachers present the applications of their class activities is highlyrelevant. Siew et al., [2] proposes that an important factor of the reduction of STEM interestis the method in which teachers approach the topics in class. Students leave the classroomwith a perception that the STEM topics are too hard, too boring and not worth the effort.Over the last years many educational tendencies, such as Competencies Based

I went into thecourse looking to see where any problems would occur. For this thermodynamics course, the topics covered started with heat transfer and transfermechanisms, then moved to the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, introducing steamtables along the way. Next, the class covered entropy and isentropic processes. While coveringthese topics, methods used included traditional lectures, in-class examples

Precollege programs are the main way higher education institutions work to inspire youngpeople to pursue engineering education and ultimately a career in the sciences. Many precollegeprogram options use on-campus “camps” or other strategies to bring youth onto the campus toexperience STEM curriculum and to connect with faculty, staff, and students.

obtained a satisfactory result in the standardized mathematics test administered by thatinstitution [1]. As a result, some students willing to accomplish their dream of becomingengineers are part of that group. However, their lack of a strong background in mathematics isone of the obstacles they face during their first year. This situation is not an exception in GalileoUniversity. We typically obtain low pass rates in the first mathematics course required forengineering majors. Therefore, offering remedial mathematics courses for first-year engineeringstudents is a must. The objective of such remedial courses is to build up the students’ skills andcompetencies required to succeed in regular college classes [2].The problem above is even more
