c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Transforming a Freshman Electrical Engineering Lab Course to Improve Access to Place Bound StudentsAbstractThis paper discusses the transformation of an introductory electrical engineering lab course intoan interactive hybrid teaching model, a combination of face-to-face and online instruction, toexpand access to Electrical and Computer Engineering to place-bound students. The modifiedcourse will include inter-campus collaborative hands-on laboratory and team project experiences.This has the potential to transform the educational experience of the often isolated place-boundstudents in rural communities, building their social capital and connecting them to a larger

In this paper we summarize themilestones, lessons learned, and preliminary research findings for the NSF IUSE project award#2121412 titled “Enhancing Equity and Access Via Digitally-mediated Collaborative LearningExperiences”. As part of this project, we have developed tools and pedagogies for synchronouscomputer-supported collaborative learning activities that can be used in online and in-personclasses. More specifically, we will describe 1) the computer-based tools that facilitate groupassignments and distribution of tasks; 2) how the tool has been adopted by several courses indifferent institutions and 3) how

The participating students were attending full time,although some were also working, and one of the focus groups consisted entirely of communitycollege transfer students.

, as we increase engineering students’ exposure to entrepreneurship, we are alsoincreasing their exposure to failure very early in their careers. With this exposure, it is unknownwhether sufficient preparation and education around project/venture failure is occurring toproperly equip entrepreneurially minded engineering students to learn and grow fromentrepreneurial failure. In fact, previous work has shown that little is done to help studentsprepare for and respond to entrepreneurial failure beyond some isolated and relatively cursoryclassroom activities [9]. It’s also not clear that these relatively young entrepreneurs define andperceive failure in the same context as is traditionally described in entrepreneurial literature.The purpose of
