among engineering undergraduate students, EEI aims to assist students tobegin consciously developing their emotional intelligence, and to be more fully prepared for theirprofessional and personal lives. One of our main goals is to help students to bring awareness oftheir own emotions to their life experiences, and to develop the skills to recognize and work withthe emotions of others.As current research on emotional intelligence (EI) has demonstrated, EI is a significant indicatorof personal and professional success. Further, both industry and academia recognize that the bestengineering students will have well-developed inter- and intrapersonal skills in addition to theirtechnical skills.

deficiency in education, where the knowledge necessary for an engineer iscompromised. Allied with this fact, the evaluations of these students are also traditional,based on tests and descriptive evaluations. In Brazil, this scenario is prevalent because theresources designated to public universities for investments and improvements in teaching andlearning are limited.From traditional teaching methodologies, the development of professional skills can also becompromised [11]. The student needs to work in a team and work with structured problems inthe literature [12]. Other consequences observed in the literature are the unpreparedness ofthe future professional, school dropout [13], and lack of student commitment and cooperation[14].There are different

Dr. Larkin conducts ed- ucational research and has published widely on topics related to the assessment of student learning in introductory physics and engineering courses.

This minimalteacher involvement goes against current educational research which states that, “effectiveteachers not only make students feel good about school and learning, but also that [effectiveteacher guidance] actually results in increased student achievement.”13 Rand Education goes sofar as to assert that among school-related factors, teachers matter most.14 Furthermore, becauseMOOCs provide self directed work, it does open the door for plagiarism and possible cheating.These issues have an effect on the acceptance of this form of education. This market acceptancewill be further discussed in the next section when looking at how MOOCs need to evolve as asystem.IV. MOOCs and System

RECOMMENDATIONS TO FURTHER ROBOTICS ENGINEERING EDUCATIONTo further Robotics Engineering education, we recommend the following: • Robotics Engineering should soon become a recognized branch of engineering. • Development of a set of robotics-specific criteria by ABET, following identification of a lead and cooperating societies from among ASME, CSAB, IEEE, and possibly others. • Enhanced robotics and mechatronics education community-building activities, including IEEE Robotics & Automation

Since the freshman writing course schedules large group eveningsessions for Wednesdays at 7pm, two large group engineering speakers were scheduledfor evenings not used by the Writing program. To allow students to concentrate on examsand final projects for their other courses, the seminar course meets only during the first12 weeks of each semester.

However, renewable energy has a great potential for multi-disciplinary projects,both at undergraduate and graduate levels. Such projects can involve electrical, mechanical,civil, and chemical engineering aspects while still being accessible to undergraduate students.Design and development of renewable energy projects allow students to work on projects thatcan be relevant to current leading edge research and technologies. The development, content andstructure of an alternative energy course as part of this effort to embed renewable energy into ourcurriculum are also presented.

The reason for introduction of the debates was not to improve overall course grades,which were in the 83% to 85% overall for those two semesters, but in the hopes of improvingstudent participation, motivation for learning the materials, and understanding

Collaborative, cooperative, and problem-based learning are among the mostthoroughly discussed active learning methods2–5.The Engage Engineering project utilizes problem-based learning as one of “three research-basedstrategies to improve student day-to-day classroom and educational experience,” referred to asE3s or Everyday Examples in Engineering1. Motivated by the idea that students learn better whenthey are comfortable with the context and meaning of the teaching examples used in lessons, theEveryday Examples in Engineering project uses objects that students are familiar with (iPods,sausages, bicycles, etc.) to teach fundamental engineering concepts6-7
development for engineers is an essential part of career advancement and caninclude a wide variety of learning opportunities, ranging from asynchronous short courses tocomprehensive synchronous in-person courses. Adult learning theory supports the positiveinfluence of student engagement, but this engagement may be different from universityclassroom settings. There is an abundance of literature that indicates student engagement in thelearning experience is important for student learning and other important educational outcomes.There is also evidence that the adoption of engaging teaching practices in professionaldevelopment settings is limited. Much of the research on adoption is done in K-16 settings,which fails to address the impact among a

Additionally, when students are asked to write short-answer responses to explain their reasoning to concept questions, it has been observed toimprove student performance, engagement, and prepare students for group discussion [15], [16].These responses provide instructors and researchers with a wealth of information regardingstudent thinking [17].

Through this work, weaddressed the following research questions, What kind of interventions were conducted incircuits education and what impact did these interventions have on student performance? anddiscussed findings based on the coding schemes.Class Modes and COVID-19We expect that the main reason for 69% of the interventions identified to be conducted for in-person classrooms compared to online and hybrid classrooms is the dates of the articles electedto study: 2014 to 2023.
