laboratory experiences are less available, including extended school closuresdue to current circumstances or other uncontrollable events, such as natural disasters [7].However, the benefits of these lab kits to grade-school students could extend beyond abnormalcircumstances. They could be used to add increased variety and depth to homework assignments,allowing the educational benefits of lab science to be realized outside of the classroom and thetime and procedural restrictions of in-class labs. Drawing inspiration from the work of Pinnell etal. [8] on engineering challenges for students that utilized fixed sets of materials, the lab kitscould also be tailored to serve as a vehicle for STEM outreach that motivates students to becomemore interested

theimportance of power engineering education in the power engineering profession.A hands-on laboratory course is also crucial, along with a lecture-based course in power systemsengineering, as this delivery mode will better help the students to understand the smart gridconcepts. However, current curricula mostly include traditional topics for laboratory courses,such as electric power and machinery. The laboratory courses should also update along with theupdated lecture courses and cover smart grid technologies, i.e., renewable and green energyintegration, energy efficiency, energy storage. Authors in [15] propose a hands-on laboratorycourse consisting of three major components, (1) Power System Simulations performing on aminiature real-world power

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Work-in-Progress: Online Tutorials to Help Undergraduates Bridge the Gap Between General Writing and Engineering WritingAbstract Although engineering students are regularly called upon to write as engineers in designcourses, laboratory courses, and internships throughout their curriculum, many engineeringstudents do not formally learn to write as an engineer until their third or fourth year of study. Forthis reason, a gap exists between what engineering students know about general writing and howthey are expected to write as an engineer. As a first step to address this gap, this paper

Capstone courses and built projects help students learn to combineexperimental methods, mathematical and statistical modelling techniques, and computationalskills to study physical problems and processes. They also provide the experience of integratingdifferent areas of students’ education in order to develop the technological and critical thinkingskills necessary in today's workplace. The theoretical concepts covered in lectures arecomplimented by physical experimentation, data collection, and computer laboratory sessions.Many times, case studies are used to provide capstone project examples from available resourcesand to encourage

As part of the CE 113 course, students are introduced toprogramming processes in the associated laboratory meetings, using MATLAB [3]. Within thefirst half of the course, students are introduced to the introductory programming topics, includingfunctions, command window operations, graphics window operations, script and function fileswithin the editor window, if-statements, and loops with MATLAB [3]. By the eighth week ofthe course, students are introduced to writing programs to solve simple statics and mechanics ofmaterials problems, which develops into more complex coding by the second half of the course.The

of Reading Assignments in Environmental Engineering Education for Effective Learning and Greater Student Engagement in an Era of Innovative Pedagogy and Emerging Technologies1.0 IntroductionSince the dawn of education, educators have been looking for ways to make teachingeffective and it has been a never-ending pursuit. Engineering education is no exception tothis. There have been numerous pedagogical advances such as focusing on students' learningstyles, teaching aids, in-class assessments, and use of more hands-on activities and multi-media, which made education more effective. Most engineering majors, some more thanothers, have dedicated laboratories for hands-on learning of specific
