work or home stress weresuddenly thrown into a new balancing act where work and home constraints were now happeningat the same time. Teaching from home became the new norm. However, many had never usedthe internet for instruction before. Additionally, their lack of pedagogical understanding ofonline design, facilitation and instruction left many at a loss for best practices.Much of the difficulty may be able to be attributed to the short window of planning andorganizing that needed to occur in March 2020. Then once entrenched in those emergencymeasures, instructors may not have felt it necessary, nor had the time, to modify instructionaltechniques during the spring of the 2020 school year.In hindsight the rapid transition in instruction during

being an art than a science, although one must have knowledge of construction methods and materials to work successfully. Architectural engineering combines all aspects of the building design and construction, involving mechanical, electrical and structural and other notions of mathematical precision. It is a field that uses far more technology than its predecessor. Architecture focuses more on the aesthetic design and the functional and spatial layout of buildings as opposed to the engineering that architectural engineering incorporates. Architectural engineers apply engineering principles to the construction, planning and design of buildings and other structures. Architecture has been closely associated with engineering in the history of the

After studying these topics it would be a natural extension of the class to look atthe performance of an actual gas turbine engine.Several options exist to give the students a laboratory experience with gas turbines. The simplestoption, and perhaps the most costly, would be the purchase of a commercial gas turbine testsystem. These can be purchased from companies such as Turbine Technologies, LTD2 ,Armfield, Inc.3 , and G. Cussons, LTD4 . Prices range from $30,000 to well over $100,000

Many institutions have opted to cancel in-personclasses, including labs, and have mandated a pivot to online instruction to help control the spreadof the virus. Researchers have studied online education for decades and research shows thateffective online learning results from a planned instructional design using a systematic model fordevelopment [1].

the full spectrum of teaching activity. Some protocols are designed to observe a specific pedagogy in practice. The goal of this project is not to research the effectiveness of one particular pedagogy, it is to research the effectiveness of the space and tools designed to enable the instructor’s teaching plan. If a protocol is too heavily based on observing an expected pedagogy, important observations might go untracked. Active learning classrooms should support a variety of teaching perspectives and pedagogies and be designed in a way that encourages the use of a broad spectrum of learning activities, so the instructor has the flexibility to pick the best teaching approach for their intended goals

The selected signal is modulated by hardware, and the signal is presented at a test point for display via oscilloscope. A simple 555 timer and cascading filter network were chosen for the frequency generation module. The design process, circuit schematic, program code, and theory of operation were included in the project. The project demonstrates that a student interested in wireless communication can construct a simple circuit to measure and test the fundamental elements of RF generation and modulation. Student plans to develop additional modules to demonstrate amplitude shift keying (ASK) and binary phase shift
