Other researchers have found thatthere is a positive relationship between a feature’s perceived ease of use and instructor intentionto continue its use as a useful tool in assisting course delivery [11].Recent research has also shown a difference in LMS use in lower-level courses as compared toupper-level courses before and after a disruption. Findings indicated that the lower-level coursescontinued their LMS use while upper-level courses typically returned to pre-pandemic in-personinstructional modes [16]. This difference could be an effect of a decrease in student engagementduring the pandemic due to asynchronous and synchronous video recordings being used in placeof face-to-face learning [17]. When in-person learning
student-centered activitieswere carefully designed as they are integral to the success of the flipped model [15]. Thedistribution of class time use is shown in Figure 1.Figure 1 – Distribution of class time use in the flipped offeringThe framework of project-based learning makes has an inherent synergy with the flipped. Bycombining both elements in one course, the benefits of each approach can accrue while softeningthe drawbacks. The project-based component of the course acts as a motivational andaccountability tool as the students become invested in solving the presented design problems. Italso transforms the student-teacher interactions into ones more focused on the students’ needs [11]which can be addressed in class due to the extra classroom

practice”— overthe years has come to take on a variety of meanings, with many researchers noting the term hasbeen significantly diluted over the years from its original meaning. Learning community as it isused here is simply a: “[group] of people engaged in intellectual interaction for the purpose oflearning”; a community that is a pragmatic and effective means of educating students as thesestudents get “involved in thinking, questioning, and actively seeking knowledge” (Cross, 1998,p. 9). Both faculty-to-student and peer-to-peer mentorship on academic and professional writinghave been an integral focus of these scientific learning communities, whose aims largely centeraround providing a supportive, sustainable network for both professional and

Moreover, Wing suggests thatcomputational thinking “complements and combines mathematical and engineering thinking…ascomputer science inherently draws on engineering thinking, given that we build systems thatinteract with the real world” [7]. To date, there has been a growing focus to includecomputational thinking in K–12 curriculum, especially through the teaching of computer scienceand coding skills [8]–[12].However, there is a gap in the literature regarding how to effectively integrate computationalthinking and engineering design into K-12 education.

During this time, therewere two paths being pursued in parallel.The first path was to identify what type of curriculum would be
construction course, capstone design, and aprofessional issues course. Being introduced to leadership ideas early in the undergraduatecurriculum, which are reinforced in later courses, may be a good strategy to motivate studentsand encourage their interest around leadership topics. A number of students also identifiedinternships and other co-curricular activities as contributing to their leadership skills (e.g. ROTC,professional society president, sports activities). Instructors may want to consider the tenets ofEVT when integrating leadership education into the curriculum, explaining the utility value ofthese skills in the workforce and using metacognition to have students reflect on their ownleadership experiences so that they build self-efficacy
