Moorhead, Minnesota 56560 ABSTRACT Bold new graduate programs have been established in recent years inBrazil in an effort to reduce national dependence on foreign education.Over a dozen institutions now offer quality graduate programs in Elec-trical Engineering at the Master's level. Ambitious doctoral programs inElectrical Engineering exist at four major graduate schools. The gradu-ate programs at both levels at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP)have been exceptionally successful in terms of the quality of instructionoffered as well as the quantity of graduates produced. Results can beseen in the implantation of technological competence for the benefit oflocal industries and in terms of the

In our experience, consistent student-instructor interaction was critical for keeping the student engaged. For a short duration camp, it isharder to build student-student interactions, although that can be facilitated with platforms that © American Society for Engineering Education, 2021 2021 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference Proceedings | Paper ID 35153enable teamwork. Finally, availability and familiarity with technology should be taken into account,with choice of widely available software and provision of detailed instructions of using it to coverfor environments where technology is not widely used, yet

information for active classroom design.IntroductionActive learning, and spaces purpose-built for active learning pedagogies, are becomingincreasingly prevalent in STEM fields, and engineering in particular. One method to learn moreabout the utilization of active learning pedagogies is to observe teaching and learning in real timeusing a protocol that describes the interaction between pedagogy, space, and technology [1]. Theuse of observation to provide information on teaching practices is a well documented concept[2], [3], [4]. Teaching and Learning Centers have a long history of offering classroomobservations and these are frequently used to provide formative and summative feedback toinstructors, teaching teams, and academic leaders [4].
