: Evaluating Approaches to Problem DevelopmentIntroduction: Inter-institutional collaboration in higher education contextsUniversity students around the world face significant challenges in affording learning materials,including textbooks and ancillary resources such as online homework systems. Recent researchindicates that commercial homework systems can cost students $52-$105 CAD per course [1].Since homework problems are central to learning many core engineering science topics, such asclassical mechanics, there is a substantial opportunity to reduce student costs and makeengineering degrees more accessible. Additionally, open educational resources (OER) allowinstructors to customize problems to suit their courses or pedagogical goals. For example

These sessions were intentionally spaced roughlyone month apart to gradually introduce students to resources over time (as to not overwhelmthem) and to provide a space for their home support network to connect into their onboardingprocess. This process is an important piece of establishing a line of trust with their student’s newnetwork of support.

Collaboration with the Social Sciences and HumanitiesIntroductionEducators have long recognized the need to integrate social sciences, arts, humanities, andphysical sciences to solve such major human problems as environmental degradation, climatechange, rural poverty, and global pandemics.[1] Many colleges and universities with engineeringprograms, for example, have established courses that introduce technical students to the socialsciences and humanities for building skills that range from language to problem-solving andcreative thinking. [2] The significance of global challenges, while always present, became evenmore pronounced in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which shut down entiresocieties, halted travel, and

Exposure to the fine arts has beenencouraged to specifically address this problem since at least the 1950s [1]. It is, for instance, atthe origin of MIT’s Committee for the Study of the Visual Arts, established in 1972: “As MITpresident, [Jerome B.] Wiesner transformed the Institute, recognizing that being the best inscience and engineering was not enough–that tomorrow’s leaders also need to integrate the artsand humanities into their thinking about engineering, science, technology and policy” [2

Further, the adventof the Next Generation Science Standards [2] has positioned engineering experience as a meansto broaden participation in STEM writ large and has brought pre-college engineering moreexplicitly to the national consciousness [3].

Both also suffer from “cookie-cutter” type approaches, which stiflestudents from experiencing true engineering design methodologies.

It is challenging to maintain the samelevel of hands-on lab experience, and yet lab experience is essential for many courses andperhaps the most effective pedagogy to help students learn. There are three alternatives totraditional labs: (1) purely virtual simulations, via an app or software, an online platform, or avirtual environment; (2) remote labs to run experiments on actual hardware hosted off-site viainternet and parallel access; and (3) individual lab kits so that each student can

Does the fraction of students completed extraproblems and the number of extra problems successfully completed change over the course ofthe semester? 3.
