In addition, the first session introduced thestudents to the Internet. Although successive sessions did not need this mini-module, theresearch component of the session was retained. The students were asked to group themselvesin teams of not more than four students (preferably not from the same high school). Then overthe next three weeks of the camp, each group was to submit their “surfing the net” scavengerhunt findings. The scavenger hunt consisted of 20 trivial questions about engineering andengineering management. D i s t r i b u
one “course” per semester, and they have daily contact with their problem group and afaculty member or guide. Since the early 1970’s, this PBL approach has been successful inmedical education at many institutions. There are very few engineering programs that have fullyimplemented a similar model. Are we hampered from adopting more PBL teaching models inEngineering programs because of our fundamental conceptual model of what is an engineeringeducation, and, ultimately, what is an engineer? The System ParadigmWithin the existing structure at most engineering schools, students recognize that each coursecarries equal weight towards their degree, and each course gives them an independent grade thatis equal in value towards their degree and for

. Thewires were categorized according to length and function. Where before, the studentswere always searching for the right type and length of wires, the wires were now easy tofind. As an added benefit, the wires were always returned to where they belonged, andthe students developed a sense of responsibility for taking care of the lab. As a matter offact, the morale and attitude of the students improved. The students did not have anymore equipment available than before the re-organization, but now it could be easilyfound.Then there was the matter of getting rid of some of the old equipment that was in the lab.There was reason to believe that certain items were just stored in there. There was a1950’s vintage overhead projector. Someone had donated

hour long standardlength recorded lectures a week. The instructors of courses observed which topics the studentswere struggling with and developed micro-lectures to cover those topics.Literature ReviewThe idea of micro-learning and presenting the content in micro-units was first introduced in 1980as “micro-teaching” (Hug, T., 2005). Research conducted by (Shail, M. S., 2019) indicates thatmicro-learning prevents learners from being overloaded with information and can improve theirretention capacity. Due to the limitation of the working memory of learners, micro-learningrequires minimal effort from individuals to master the content, and it provides dense and yetfocused topics in fun and engaging fashion (Jomah, et al, 2016).

Due to rising concerns, a team of facultyand staff formed together in the summer of 2023 to identify the problem(s) and work towardplausible solutions that could improve overall culture in the department. This team dedicatedthemselves to the “Engineering a Culture Overall” (ECO) initiative, which is an effort focusedon improving the culture in the department by focusing on accessibility, diversity, equity, andinclusion (ADEI). In the Fall of 2023, undergraduate students joined the ECO team with theintention of amplifying the student voice to help enact change that would benefit the

Therefore, the initial designwas dependent on a “script overseer” such as a graduate teaching assistant with programingexperience, to run the applications via accessing the source code. For data mining to occur, theapplication necessitates access to the Canvas LMS. This means that the user would have to inputa bearer access token, and URL course specific values to the source code. In addition to this, theuser would have to manually open the matrix of questions to tag each question with skill(s).There were two main concerns with this, first, the user would have to feel comfortable withmodifying Python programming language
