these projects will help other educators develop ROS-based simulation projects as part of a course or a stand-alone course for teaching robotics.IntroductionThe Robot Operating System (ROS) has gained wide currency for creating working robotic sys-tems, initially in the laboratory and then in industry. The primary programming environment forthose working on ROS includes C++, Python, or Java. MathWorks recently released its RoboticsSystems Toolbox and ROS Toolbox. Using MATLAB to interact with robotic simulators (suchas Gazebo) and physical ROS-compatible robots (such as TurtleBot) becomes a new option. Theexisting toolboxes in MATLAB enable the development and verification of robotic control algo-rithms more quickly. Though it is

VDCIntroductionThe construction management curriculum is a blend of courses requiring hands-on laboratories,software tools, theoretical lectures, and deeper learning on project management tools. Thesetools and techniques constantly upgrade with newer technologies, computing breakthroughs, andintensifications. The American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) establishes studentlearning outcomes (slos) to standardize construction education at 2-year, 4-year, and master'sdegree programs at different institutions. While ACCE focuses more on the core concepts andtheories through its accreditation requirements, it is essential to understand that technologicaladvancements have been pivotal in managing

education as it can limit the engagement orinvolvement of an educator with the students [11]. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed educators to conduct emergency remote teaching, withhands-on laboratory and skills-based workshops disrupted. The inability among educators toshift to online learning and create meaningful learning in their courses, along with the lack ofavailable remote or online laboratories and simulated technology-based skills training, exposedthe stark gap between engineering education requirements in the 21st century and what HEIscurrently have. Therefore, well-designed and planned pathways to transformation must beadequately studied to bridge the gap in engineering education to transform educatorseffectively in a sustainable

This was critical during pandemic conditions as no access to campuses or laboratories was allowed. The use of commercial software also allowed different loading conditions to be set in their models, especially for the wind loading combinations. During the first three phases, students were taken step by step by their professors and instructors into the different topics of a structural analysis, as this was their first course on hyperstatic structures. During this stage, students were given some problems oriented or related to the problems they would solve during the solution of the challenge, as a way of training. In phase 4, as indicated in Fig

Unfortunately, a portion of the study cohort had their undergraduate educational plansdisrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Students enrolled in the two-quarter capstone designproject in Spring 2020 were not permitted to access laboratory equipment on campus or travel tosponsor companies. Thus, they relied on computational tools to complete their projects.MethodsThis study surveyed students enrolled in a Materials Kinetics course in either Winter 2018 or2019.

In order to scale a learning environment to accommodate tens or hundreds of students,more general protocols are needed to keep track of progress through learning outcomes. The spacebetween scale and individualization of education is ripe for creative solutions.6 ConclusionIn this paper, we have reported on the effect of different late policies on student outcomes andattitudes for a computer programming laboratory course.

Instructorsreported some resistance to change methods and as predicted, it happened.Despite having some resistance to change, in this case the instructors were opened to learningabout new teaching methods adapted to the reality and time at which the world is advancing.Whenever a new educational framework is designed, there will always be a new challenge tomeet, in this case how to adapt the laboratories to this modality. Today it is believed that the onlyway to teach the laboratory class is 100% face-to-face, but there will be a way to plan certainactivities to be done synchronously and others asynchronously.In closing, using the class as an example of the topic was pleasantly surprising.

The purpose of this exploratorystudy is to understand the motivation the academics had to engage with students and invest timeand resources in creating research projects not attached to students' grades or credits. Weconducted interviews with academics to understand why they decided to engage with theresearch projects. Our results suggest that the most important thing was to develop student-teacher engagement, which had an implication later on in their classrooms. Similarly, they saw itas a mentoring opportunity and as a way to improve their time-management skills.IntroductionStudent motivation and engagement

For example, suppose that a program wishes to teach students how to design laboratoryexperiments. The program could teach this in one particular laboratory course. Or the programcould offer two or three laboratory courses that focus on different particular subdisciplines in thefield, and teach students in each of these courses how to design experiments.
