Futuredirections for integrating PBL in these courses include adding one more project that allowsstudents to design from scratch in Logic Circuits, and assessing whether the students who havebenefited from PBL will continue to be successful in their future courses.References:[1] Shekar, A.

Anatmosphere of hard work and collaboration among students was created. Energy Engineering and Energy Efficiency were finally the selected research areas. Allpartner companies agreed that under this umbrella they were able to accommodate manydifferent engineering projects, ranging from those heavily oriented to electrical power systemsanalysis in presence of large nonlinear loads, like Electrical Arc Furnaces for the steel makingindustry, to combustion in large steam power plants.

Inthis course, students are required to identify suffering of others (others includes the humanspecies as well as other species), design a response to the suffering and carry that action out. Theproject must involve at least 15 hours of service. Alternatively, students can explore issuesassociated with the use of animals in the research laboratory through service at the FarmSanctuary in Watkins Glen. The relevance for this project’s inclusion is based on the fact that avast majority of the new devices and drugs are first tested on a wide range of animal species.One will very often hear reference to “porcine” and “bovine” animal models in the

TTE REU was designed as an intervention for students so thatthey would have an opportunity to build their confidence and knowledge in science andengineering with the goal that this intervention would lead to more students transferring to abachelor program. As discussed by S. Artis4, TTE REU brings students from communitycolleges around the state of California to the University of California, Berkeley to complete a9 week summer research internship. The first week of the internship has the students goingthrough a “laboratory bootcamp” where the students learn lab safety, ethics

Mornings were spent doing lessons on content area knowledge andexplaining techniques, and afternoons had hands-on training and laboratory activities.

college is for the instructor to talk informally with groups duringa three hour design laboratory period that is held once per week. However, the course instructorsin chemical engineering have selected the dedicated meeting approach described above ratherthan this alternate approach, because it guarantees a completely devoted time period for eachteam with the instructor. Thus, the practice of a regular checkup espoused by Davis [2] isaccomplished. In the laboratory checkup scenario described above, not all teams may getindividual time with the instructor each week. The preferred approach is more time consumingfor the instructors, however it is worthwhile, since it better ensures the success of all teams ineach course offering. The effectiveness

Laboratory I” (EE 081) course adopted a version of “Specifications Grading”, as outlinedin Linda Nelson’s book of the same title [1], in Fall 2018. Though the main goal of this teachingand grading intervention was to raise the quality of student writing, it was anticipated that this typeof grading would bring secondary benefits. These include instilling good writing habits in generalfor follow up lab courses as well as provide more transparency and consistency in grading. Theprinciples of specifications grading are detailed in Section 2 of this paper alongside the adaptationsmade for this introductory electrical engineering lab course. The results of the intervention are laidout in Section 3, from both a student and instructor perspective. Section 4
