PBL is known to reinforce learning of core concepts taught elsewhere in thecurriculum whilst also availing students’ various occasions for skills development through theapplication and often practical hands-on nature of the learning experience. They are, however,also important learning opportunities for students to create new knowledge, often in anenvironment that is student-led and supported by peer-learning.A core aspect of each of these four relatively young programs is the deliberate integration ofvalues which have

Class sizes andpedagogical choices such as project-based learning are frequently constrained by the number anddisciplinary background of available faculty instructors.Prior work by our group has presented a framework for balancing competing curricular andadministrative needs [1]. Over the past six years, through stakeholder feedback and formativeevaluation, we have developed and continually refined a large-enrollment (ca. 650 students) one-semester FYE course taught by one to two faculty members. This course features a mixture ofinteractive didactic content and two multi-week, open-ended design

This framework is designed to givestudents flexibility to figure out an approach that works best for them.

Here,we offer students the opportunity to learn how to determine their own success through theirchoices and effort.Throughout the different assessments, we used Canvas’s ‘essay’-type questions frequently.

Team success mustbe evaluated by measuring project outcomes, student engineering performance, the cooperativelearning experience and student satisfaction [4],[6]. This study provides a focus on the students’perceptions of their teamwork opportunities, their teammates’ engagement and their projectoutcomes, with respect to their team role and role execution. The goal is to determine how theiropportunities for assuming desired roles affect their attitudes towards collaboration, theirperception of team success, and their appreciation of the team experience. This study shouldprovide strategies to increase the effectiveness of the team collaboration experience

education curriculum provides graduateswith the foundation of knowledge and skills necessary to begin practice in their classrooms.However, it is also recognized that there will probably be a continuous expansion of knowledgeand an evolution of instructional practices over time. Hence, the first college degree should bejust the start of a career-long education process, where continuing teacher education becomes asignificant part of the life-long learning process for the teacher. The challenge for theprofessional development providers is to ensure that the nature, context, and programs keeps upwith the changing base of knowledge and practices required for the classroom teachers.Too many teachers still feel isolated in their classrooms.

Some of this is because many respondents were still in high school during thebeginning of the pandemic and began their higher education careers online. When students didmention professors during remote conditions their responses were often negative pointing out alack of perceived empathy with pandemic conditions or difficulty connecting with professors.Responses during in-person learning were more positive overall. However, students noted thatsome remote-era features are still at play. For example, one student remarked that“[u]nfortunately, there are still professors who post lectures online or utilize zoom

These conclusions drawn and strategies presented allowstudents to develop fundamental engineering skills early on in their education with the intent ofcarrying them throughout their studies. Furthermore, if students can experience a more rewarding andsuccessful time in Engineering Design I and II courses while gaining valuable experience, they willbe more confident in their abilities and choices not only in the classroom but in their careers as well.

Despite these differences in education exposure, prior scholars’ findingsshow that these student groups are generally exposed to similar engineering education,predominantly the United States education systems, for instance, ABET Standards [39], norms[39], cultures [38], and approaches [38]. These could diminish the equity of education andlearning experience between domestic and international students, for instance, in the efforts toadapt to the American higher education system's norms, cultures, and expectations [30].One of the reasons that international students have wanted to come to United States universitiesis to prepare for careers, either in the United States or in
