Students participate in grading the presentations of their peers, thus acquiring important skills in grasping material quickly, as well as in objective and fair judgment. 5. Several lectures/discussions on ethics in science and engineering in the beginning of the fall semester are appreciated by students as important and interesting experience which many of them encounter for the first time.

Report writing has also been improved by using peer review and revision to target poorgrammar and spelling as well as technical issues.7 Electronic lab notebooks have been used toimprove the ability of students to analyze their data and keep track of design decisions, whichcould be particularly helpful for experimental design activities.8 Lab reports have been written ingroups, or even during lab, in order to improve both the mechanics of report writing and thequality of the results through peer interaction and modeling from the instructor.9 The majority ofthese methods concentrate heavily on the writing aspect of lab reports, but tend to spend

We hope this will pro- vide more motivation when they are taking fundamental courses. - Some freshmen worked ahead of the EGR 101 schedule to learn topics such as dimensioning and assembly drawings in order to satisfy the demands of the juniors. - In a few cases the juniors helped the freshmen use materials other than plastic

It was an online class setting, thus the breakout rooms from themeeting platform (e.g., ZOOM©) were utilized for group discussion. The first day of the projectwas spent understanding and discussing the problem among the group members. The studentswere asked to write a note of their discussions and ideas. It was recommended to take a role foreach group member to distribute their responsibilities – team leader, programmer, reporter, andpresenter.

and design has proven significantly more challenging thanintegrating writing and design. Even when public speaking deliverables are directly tiedto a design project, students often feel that the presentation is an afterthought. Indeed, inmany cases the design is completed (or a significant milestone is reached) before thepresentation is prepared. Thus, public speaking is often associated with design, but not asan integral part of designing. In this course, students give several mid-semesterpresentations as part of an ongoing design project, where they are given feedback byengineering faculty and their peers. As a result of this feedback, many students havecome to realize that this form of communication is an important part of
