With reference to software systems, theterm ‘usability’ has been broadly used to include execution time, performance, user satisfactionand ease of learning [5]. While older literature focused on software attributes, recent literatureincludes student and teacher user interaction, perceived usefulness

The section-by-section learningobjectives were previously reported [5]. At the end of this course, students should be able to: • Conduct uncertainty analysis • Perform basic statistical treatment of experimental data • Distinguish between signals and systems • Analyze signals in time and frequency domains • Describe the effects of noise and filters on measured signals • Apply digital computational tools to solve measurement problems • Design

Faculty have been attending training courses hosted by various organizationson different subjects since the beginning of the project. For example, over the past years, theCenter of Faculty Development and the College of Science and Engineering Project Center atSeattle University have led training sessions on topics related to inclusive pedagogy, buildingrelationship-rich classroom experiences, and combating implicit bias. During the pandemic, theCenter for Digital Leaning and Innovation at Seattle University provided training for faculty toeffectively move our courses online.

Also, a larger number of students self-funded their projects(faster part delivery times straight to their homes). The survival stage for this semester was shortsince the university required concurrent f2f and online teaching methods. This resulted in somesmall changes to the course syllabus. Pedagogical changes balancing f2f and synchronous onlinemodes were implemented delineating the adaption stage. It didn’t take long to take the fulladvantage of students’ technological freedom, almost 24-7 availability of the instructor, and quickpurchasing options of self-funding. Again, as in the

Some professional skills thatare acquired through these ABET accredited courses are: the abilities to design a technology-based product orservice, to address a real-world problem, and to communicate effectively. The forced transition to online educationdue to the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the fact that higher education students need more self-regulatedlearning (SRL) skills to engage in effective time management, prioritize their tasks, watch lectures, and completeassignments. Most literature concerning self-regulated learning has not acknowledged the underpinnings of howdesign pedagogy and the studio culture can play significant roles in achieving these important skills in engineeringdesign.

Process: The goal under this RED task is to create anovel teaching evaluation process that engages all stakeholders (including industry & students).The new process will be based on developing training materials to prepare students on how toeffectively evaluate teaching and teaching portfolios, and it is intended to become an integralpart of the faculty promotion process. The training will include the fundamental elements ofdesigning a course and delivering content; the initial plans call for the students to observeinstructors in the classroom, review the course syllabus, and other course materials, and preparea report. A similar approach will be developed for TFAB industry members who will also beinvited to evaluate faculty teaching

In our implementation of a flipped class, traditional lectures are replaced with20~40 minute instructional videos that incorporate course content, laboratory demonstrations,and how-to tutorials. Students view and take notes on these materials outside of class, and takean online “Prep Quiz” that provides feedback on their basic understanding before coming toclass.

-578-4221AbstractActive learning in any field of study is a time-demanding approach to engaging students inproblem-solving and other activities in face-to-face class settings and online environments. Theorigin of learning is rooted in the activity, which is doing something to find out about specifictopics. Active learning constitutes a natural pair in any education, especially in engineering andmanagement. Engineering and management students are trained to design and construct solutionsto problems in the real world. This paper presents the perceptions and attitudes of students whoparticipated in active learning activities of civil/environmental engineering and constructionmanagement courses in fall 2021.

These chunks are then crafted into a series of mini-projects, usually between four and eight, that are offered as team-based or solo assignments. It isimportant to note that a series of mini-projects is not simply a collection of discrete learningunits, but rather a scaffolded learning platform that is flexible enough to accommodate theindividual needs and desires of students.

The books were authored for the web andthus primarily exist online only (they can be printed, but are not optimized for paper). Each bookwas written in a similar style in terms of organization, coverage, depth, and style. The books usean interactive approach in which each topic is taught using minimal text, animations, andlearning questions. The key observation we make here is that, although some variability existsamong the three books, that variability is substantially less than for nearly any other collection oftop-selling books in those three languages.In addition to the core material, these textbooks each include integrated coding homeworkproblems.
