,we decided to modify it in a manner that allows more room for an active-learning experience.Baumgartner [4] recommended a laboratory-alternating approach that allowed for more frequentexposure to high-level concepts. This model was deemed most useful where the linkage betweenunderlying theories and practical applications must be taught linearly, in other words, the conceptscontinuously build upon each other [4]. The original model consists of a cycle of mini-lectures andmini laboratory tasks. We decided to modify this model with in-class exercises replacing the labtasks and, instead, having a singular, independent laboratory session. 5Flipped

While regular research group meetings were a regularfeature of all the REU host laboratories, two remote REU students (Kiara and Saanvi) did notparticipate in these research meetings. Kiara was a unique case as she participated remotely fromKorea and the time difference precluded her participation. In both cases, the REU students metweekly with their PI and mentor rather than engaging with the full research group. Table 3 sharesthe results of the weekly

From a pedagogical perspective, this collaborative project was able to fuse traditionalclassroom-based basic teaching and learning of concepts with an applications-based activity in airquality engineering courses that are not set up as laboratory courses. The techniques that arediscussed in this paper are ones that can be translated to other courses

IncorporatingUD, disability, and accessibility concepts into engineering courses is important in order toprepare tomorrow’s engineers to take into consideration the needs of a diverse set of users.Additionally, including these topics can serve to increase the participation of students withdisabilities and other underrepresented groups in the engineering classroom [2].The importance of preparing students to engage in UD and consider accessibility in their designwork is gaining recognition. Efforts to incorporate UD into engineering education includeengineering design and laboratory projects [3,4].

This enabled a greater engagement of the academiccommunity with the Teaching and Learning Center, enabling other departments to understandthe relevance of the center. In addition to providing consultancy, advice, and holdingworkshops, the center uses scientific methodology to prove that the methods work. In thisway, in addition to supporting the university community, they generate scientific knowledge.This developed knowledge is essential to convey confidence.

The main benefits reported were positive changes in student behavior,including preparation and better use of time during labs by both the students and instructors.Although they focus on a non-engineering discipline, the classes use a hands-on lab. As such, thestudies’ conclusions may be pertinent for engineering disciplines with similar lab requirements.Vielma et al.[7] performed a study of best practices during COVID-19 stay-at-home instructionsand found that students’ preference is towards a flipped classroom model.
