delivering such information. 5.1.3 | Need for improving hands-on experiences of studentsHands-on experiences were considered to be an important part of college life. They were perceivedto contribute to better MHW as they provided students to see the practical real-world applicationsof their courses. Students wanted improvement in the laboratory like providing more state-of-the-art laboratory equipment. The study participants were of the view that they should be able toengage in research work to gain practical hands-on experiences. For example, one of theparticipants said the following. “The college of engineering should have more research opportunities available for students in professors’ labs. There might be many such opportunities available
curriculum: at Tufts, students take the course(ES 4) in the fall semester of sophomore year and it forms part of their core conception of whatelectrical and computer engineering is. In general, their courses up to this point have been genericacross engineering, and many students see the course as a way to confirm whether an electrical orcomputer engineering major is right for them. As a result, we have both an opportunity and anobligation to inspire and motivate students in addition to helping them develop prerequisite skillsfor other courses.Digital logic labsAs at most universities, our offering of the course has a substantial laboratory component, wherestudents put in the hard (and rewarding) work of translating pencil-and-paper logic designs

accumulated knowledge may not favor just superposing theadditional knowledge to previous acquired knowledge. Furthermore, just adding security onexciting embedded systems is almost impossible. Therefore, there is a need for structural designof curriculum, which focuses security concepts on embedded systems design.This curriculum recognizes several challenges for effective undergraduate education of securityconcepts in Embedded Systems. These challenges include laboratory existing tools, classroom,and laboratory activities, and teaching large numbers of students from diverse backgrounds. Infact, we, like many embedded systems instructors, have noticed an increase in students’ interest inembedded systems design from various disciplines, especially

, Clarkson students and CCE educational staff periodically visit the cafeteriasto coach students on proper food waste management procedures.Curriculum development and instruction. The cafeteria food waste program offers an excellentopportunity for students to engage in place-based learning experiences that use the school as aliving laboratory [23]. Project-based educational experiences have been developed tocomplement the cafeteria food waste program, so that students can learn the science behindresource recovery and anaerobic digestion. Evidence has shown that project-based and place-based learning experiences enhance student motivation, engagement, and learning [24]. Open-ended projects challenge students to operate at the higher levels of Bloom’s

In some cases, these are included in coursework in ways where there may not be anatural fit in a typical lecture or lecture/laboratory course, or that appear to be contrived.Teamwork may consist of students put into groups based on proximity, with minimal instructionin how to effectively operate as a team; while this is indeed working within a group, it isarguably not effective teamwork [7]-[9].

It is interesting to consider, then, if—and by what degree—license studentsare affected by the flipped classroom format, especially as compared with their non-license engineeringstudent counterparts (“interns”).This paper aims to quantify the effects that the flipped classroom format has on license students. Thepaper achieves this by performing a difference-in-differences (DiD) [4] analysis on the students’ finalcourse letter grades in a recently flipped course in signals and systems, specifically ENGR 383 Signalsand Systems—a junior-level electrical engineering course taken by license and

Since it is evident thathuman decision making is integral to the overall safety of plant operations as poor decisions canimpede the effectiveness of other safety barriers, it is necessary to ensure appropriate training isprovided to students before they enter the workforce.

, the objectivesremained the same. However, because the second-year students had previous introduction totopics including AutoCAD, Excel, and ArcGIS in their first year, there was a concern that thefirst-year students would not be able to grasp the course content as easily as the second-yearstudents. To compensate for this, the Fundamentals course was expanded from 3-credits to 4-credits with an additional 75 minutes (1 hr 15 min) per week of in-class time for a total of 315minutes (5 hr 15 min). When offered in the first-year, three weekly class meetings were 50minutes each and offered on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule with the remaining 165minutes (2 hr 45 min) reserved for a weekly laboratory session.Additional content that exposes

The coding interviews provided an opportunity for each student to meetindividually with a Teaching Assistant (TA) or Instructor to discuss the core programmingconcepts of the course in the context of code that the student wrote for a previous assignment.The TAs were trained to keep the interviews as an informal discussion focused on the codingconstructs implemented in the student’s code with primary goals as follows: • To ensure each student is developing fundamental programming skills and to flag those

The transition to remote learning was particularly difficult for many of the hands-on experiential learning and laboratory courses that are integral parts of an engineeringeducation. Very few engineering programs in the United States offer purely remote learningenvironments for engineering students, and so this kind of teaching and learning was new forboth faculty, rapidly adjusting their curriculum in a short amount of time, and for the studentswho had to quickly adapt their learning styles [1]. In addition, most students across the countryleft their campuses and returned home to complete the spring 2020 semester from afar, leading tofewer interactions with their peers, faculty, and staff for
