Specific engineeringproblems were initially identified by student teams and project work typically occurred duringlab periods or outside of class.3.2 Input from Project-Based-Learning Faculty CohortFive faculty from Civil and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, ComputerScience, Mathematics, and Statistics attended the Worcester Polytechnical Institute workshop onProject Based Learning in June 2019 [9]. In this institute, faculty learned the benefits of project-based approaches and strategies for developing and scaffolding interdisciplinary projects.

model developed by the authors thatencourages students to learn and solve complex problems pertinent to current challenges facing society. Since its beginnings, the IBL model has evolved to improve upon course aspects and processes from previous course iterations [1]–[11]. IBL is currently implemented into a cardiovascular engineering course within four institutions across the United States. This model strives to emphasize freedom and responsibility to students through self-directed learning. In the course, students identify relevant societal problems, form diverse multidisciplinary, multi- institutional teams, and work collaboratively towards innovative solutions. IBL uses an online learning management system (LMS) that was designed and

To determine the effectiveness of usingthe IIS alongside Webb’s DoK as an assessment tool, multiple instructors from the institutionsinvolved reviewed student learning outcomes. The instructor reviews were then assessed tocompute inter-rater agreement scores, with instances producing the strongest agreements anddisagreements evaluated and results discussed. A post-course student survey was alsoadministered to gain insights of how the metrics were implemented for the students, of which,the results were quantified and assessed.IntroductionIn a world that is constantly advancing and facing new challenges, engineers must continuallyadapt and widen their skills to

These platforms offer quick feedback, code-review, andgrading. These platforms have been shown to improve student’s learning experience [5].Although the online labs cannot afford physical engagement with hardware due to logisticchallenges, they offer some detailed understanding of emulating hardware. Therefore, with slightmodification to the course syllabus, online classrooms can provide several learning opportunitiesfor kinesthetic learners. The activities may be designed to realize the same course objectives,while developing a slightly different skill set among students. KLAs are expected to

Students whodemonstrated full mastery before the deadlines stated in the syllabus received a grade of‘C’ for the course. A buffet of optional assessments were used to assign grades tostudents above a “C”. These optional assessments included the performance of portionsof policy analysis on case studies, and reporting the results using the Pechu Kucha format(i.e., available online at: https

From an instructional perspective, the course design typically is offeredas a face-to-face class meeting combined with a video-conferencing system (whereby the classmeeting is recorded); this provides students the option to attend in person, participate online, or 1engage with the recorded content outside the class meeting [2].

A corresponding summary has yet to be established for online instruction. Therefore, we explore the following research questions: RQ1: What barriers do instructors expect to experience when adopting active learning in online instruction? RQ2: How do the barriers instructors expect to experience when adopting active learning in online instruction differ from those for in-person instruction?
