However, researchers have criticized traditionalevaluation metrics are not suitable for MOOC environments. The purpose of this paper is topresent an evaluation framework for large online graduate level engineering courses. Thisframework addresses this need with a comprehensive evaluation plan of practices and outcomesin MOOCs. Modified from Guskey’s (2000) professional development evaluation process, thisframework examines learners’ satisfaction and value alongside performance, as well aspedagogies to support learning, application of content, and integration of the course with long-term institutional goals.

This led to the bandmembers wanting to provide teachers with more real-life material to share with their students.When the band crossed paths with an engineering professor, that desire became more plausibleand the idea for OK Go Sandbox began to take form.

equations of motion for a fluid. Thesecan be expressed in variable form for an incompressible Newtonian fluid as:𝜌( 𝑉⃑ + 𝑉⃑ ⋅ ∇𝑉⃑ ) = −∇𝑃 + 𝜌𝑔⃑ + 𝜇∇ 𝑉⃑ (1)These equations are 2nd order, non-linear differential equations, which is conceptuallyoverwhelming. Even when these equations are simplified, it is difficult to translate themathematical expression into a mental picture of the physical reality. This is true even for manyfaculty who have worked with these equations over the course of a career. Alternate analysismethods that are taught, such as integral analysis, are useful engineering tools but they too oftenremain just equations, with mysterious variables and meaning to the

It has been nearly 20 years since Polytechnique Montréal introduced inits academic curriculum a mandatory and credited IL course for graduate students. This coursewas created and updated with guidance from the Association of College & Research Library(ACRL), most notably the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education [3]and the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education [4].The main objectives of this paper are to describe the evolution of the course and to discuss thefactors that have contributed to its success.

theworkplace. However, engineering students struggle in transitioning into full-time work [10]–[13]. When asked why they were struggling, students expressed that they did not expect thevariety or complexity of the problems they were facing as engineers [10]. They felt unprepared[10] and that previous work experience was the only way to build the skills necessary to solvethese problems [13]. This struggle to transition into full-time work could be related to thedifferences in what knowledge, skills, or abilities are valued in an engineering curriculum overindustry [10], [12], [13]. To combat this struggle, academia can provide students opportunitiesfor work or work-like experiences throughout the curriculum.One such way to provide work experiences to

-Dimensional learning which highlights how science learning takes place through theholistic and integrated learning of disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, andcross-cutting concepts [1]. Within these three dimensions, the science and engineering practiceshave been a focal point for pre-college science curriculum and instructional reform because oftheir emphasis on learning the ways scientists and engineers conduct their professional work [2].With an emphasis on what it means to do scientific inquiry and engineering design, the scienceand engineering practices place the learning of science knowledge in relation to the work ofscience and engineering. The use of engineering design-based tasks offers one pedagogical approach

My class sessions include a lecture the first half of class followed by hands-on in-class exercises using the material covered in the lecture. The lecture itself contains manyexamples of sample code that students copy and paste (thus avoiding typing errors) and run inparallel with the lecture. The lecture requires that students try different inputs to the programsand make small modifications to see the effect of the changes. This

for manystudents. Especially as experiential learning becomes increasingly prevalent in curriculum designand further emphasized as an important educational tool, engineering technology is beginning togain traction as both a career path and a field of study, particularly among those seeking to spendless time in the classroom. For instance, in 2014, there were over 34,000 students who graduatedwith 2-year engineering technology degrees, versus 4,409 students who graduated with 2-yearengineering degrees, even though the number of graduates with 4-year engineering degreesremained substantially higher than those with 4-year engineering technology degrees [1].As this growth continues, it is increasingly evident that more research needs to be done

wasconducted as a part of an experiential learning portion of an undergraduate engineering lab in arequired computer-integrated manufacturing course for two engineering programs, mechatronicsand industrial engineering. In the lab, students designed and implemented digital logic-basedcontrols for a typical manufacturing operation. The students participating in the lab experimentswere seniors majoring in mechatronics and/or industrial engineering. The mechatronics studentshad previous experiences with building digital circuits while their fellow students from industrialengineering did not. First, the students were divided into pairs where each industrial engineeringstudent was paired with a mechatronics student. As the students were creating and
determining the frequency of communication types, it was foundthat students learned more about these forms of communication during their internship than theydid from their college curriculum. While this result highlighted a key benefit of completing anindustrial internship, it also indicated a gap between the communication skills taught in theclassroom and those required of a career in industry.To begin to address this gap, a workshop was developed to teach students key communicationskills that are required for success in industry. All students completing an internship during theSpring 2020 semester were invited to participate, but attendance was voluntary. Skillshighlighted through the workshop include: audience analysis (how to correctly

The goal of such programs isto integrate engineering content in math and science classes to improve student performance,while simultaneously increasing student interest and engineering awareness [9, 21, 22].However, most approaches focus on teaching the engineering design process in math and scienceclasses (mostly science) [11, 12, 18, 23, 24], rather than teaching math and science in the contextof engineering.
