Engineering courses based on instructors’ experiences andpost-hoc reviews of students’ evaluations. Several students reported a lack of quality internetconnection to follow course announcements, watch the video lectures, interact with theirclassmates or course instructor, and work on assignments. Other students exhibited a lack ofdigital literacy despite having access to both quality internet access and computers. Digitalliteracy widely misidentified and often referred to as device literacy- is the ability to obtain,assess, and generate information using information and communication technologies [1]. Beingdigitally literate requires the possession of both cognitive and technical skills. Based on thisdefinition, we observed many students who

Students had mixedexperiences with using simulations and online programs in place of lab activities. They ran intotechnical issues with some of the software, and did not like that it felt

Thefour-factor model was used to create the main discipline interests (see Table 2 for factorloadings): technology/computing (computer engineering, electrical, computer science, andinformation technology), biochem (agricultural, biological, chemical, and environmentalengineering), systems & structures (civil, construction, and industrial engineering), and physics& mechanics (physics and aerospace and mechanical engineering).

engineering fields is that the courses are theory-based, which areperceived by students as simply being “boring”. Today’s engineering students must have fullaccess to emerging technologies to be fully prepared to contribute to their respective fields.Computer animation of complex behavior of engineering components and systems willundoubtedly help students understanding. This paper presents the initial development of Web-based structural engineering virtualexperiments (VE) for structural engineering courses, in general, and partially restrained steelconnections (PRC), in particular. This was done by developing procedures to link finite elementcodes for mesh preprocessor of PRC to the Web, including their interactive and three-dimensional

An important topicwithin engineering is ethics, including macroethical issues such as the environmental and societalimpacts of engineering and technology. This research therefore examined if and how engineeringethics are being implemented in high school STEM education, seeking to understand teacherpractices and perspectives. While exploring these perspectives, an emergent goal of the researchbecame to determine whether teacher’s beliefs about their incorporation of ethics in their STEM-based courses matched the evidence they provided. This qualitative research was conducted byinterviewing 14 high school STEM teachers in

learnersatisfaction3. Social factors such as interpersonal interaction and social integration contributed tomore than 60% of learner satisfaction4. Feeling of isolation due to lack of interaction with peersor faculty and lack of prompt feedback have been long been identified as difficulties of onlinelearning. Students’ personal factors, for example, prior knowledge of technology or the subjectmatter affected their learning online5. Considering these factors, the author of this study hasmade several changes in an upper-level engineering course offered in Fall 2020.The objective of this study is to find if a 400-level engineering course, Engineering Hydraulics,can be taught as effectively as in F2F class.

Curricula to Engender Inclusive Professional Identities in StudentsIntroductionTo identify and solve the wicked problems [1] our society faces, science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) enterprises need a heterogeneous constellation ofperspectives, mindsets, and expertise. Diverse teams are appealing because of their documentedcapacity to outperform groups selected based only on ability when facing difficult challenges [2].However, organizational theorists note that equipping people with the skills necessary to worktogether productively on teams composed of diverse members remains a challenge [3].Additionally, the culture of engineering and computer science, in particular, is oftenunwelcoming toward those with

However, support services(e. g., technology support, instructional design staff, teaching and learning center, etc.) variedacross institutions, making it difficult for instructors to get assistance.
