American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Work in Progress: Review of teaching strategies towards development of a framework for online teamworkAbstract:Teamwork and leadership (T&L) skills are highly valued skills in industries allover the world. These graduate attributes significantly influence studentemployability and improve chances of early career growth. Coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic has pushed the higher education sector to convert teaching deliveryfrom face to face (f2f) to online abruptly. Teamwork activities are traditionallyassociated with f2f engagement between students, peers, and faculty. Hence,cultivating teamwork and

The scientific method,math and humanities taught in early education are a prerequisite to the critical holistic systemsthinking skills which should be incorporated into the university curricula and then grown thougha practitioner’s work experience over his/her career. However, currently systems thinking iswoefully lacking in undergraduate educations. The INCOSE 2025 SE Vision states that systemsengineering education must be advanced such that, “systems thinking is formally introduced inearly education, systems engineering is a part of every engineer’s curriculum, and systemsengineering at the university level is grounded in

]. Research-based teaching practices. (RBTPs)encompass a long list of instructional practices that have been shown through research to be effectivein improving student achievement, engagement and persistence in STEM fields. These RBTPs include“the use of cooperative learning; problem-based learning; peer-led team learning; process-oriented,guided inquiry learning; and project-based learning over lecture-based teaching” [15]. Endeavors tofind solutions to complex societal problems often require collaboration between industry andacademia. This can be further formalized and integrated into the engineering classroom to providenew ideas for industry, incubate entrepreneurial interests in students, and provide a guaranteedpathway to an engineering career

All of this indicates a critical need forcreating inclusive learning and workspaces. Diversity impacts not only the industry’s culture, buthow it can serve its clients and stakeholders through its products or services. There is clearevidence in structural engineering of a business case for diversity as it cultivates creativity andinnovation [3], yet DEI often remains a missing piece in fields of higher education related to thebuilt environment.Current State of CurriculaAt the authors’ institution, the College of Architecture & Environmental

Company Reputation/Longevity: To equip students with a measurement tool that they will use throughout their academic career and after, the mobile studio lab instrumentation needs to be robust and of high quality for long-term reliability. It is imperative to choose a company that can supply the volume of devices required for students year-after-year, and has a stature that makes it likely the company will exist for the foreseeable future. This latter aspect is critical to ensure adequate technical support is available and to ensure the selected mobile platform will be available for future students. 6. Measurement

I had to admit that myteaching was inadequate and provided little benefit to my students, especially in teaching coursesoutside my area of expertise. I realized that to stay relevant in my career and give value to mystudents; I had to improve. I had to learn how to be a better instructor for the sake of my studentsand career.ChangesThe SET results from my first semester of teaching motivated me to prioritize instructioneducation.

The UC Davis BME introductory machiningand manufacturing course has traditionally employed a hands-on approach to teach students thenecessary skills needed to apply to the prototyping of their senior design projects. However, dueto prohibitions on in-person instruction, the BME machining course underwent significantredesign to enable an entirely

How does this view impact yourstudents? Have students been provided with enough feedback to improve their skills andjudgment? One might realize their course assessment seems a bit weak. Is that because onlycourse grades have been used to assess the program? Are you taking an honest look at yourdegree program or do you equate your program assessment with everything ABET?As we understand it, this is the unfortunate
