All lecture notes,homework, projects, and labs are posted prior to the start of class in multiple formats. Thetextbook is presented online in the TopHat engagement tool and includes videos, sampleproblems, and example data to provide multiple routes to learning the material. This course doesnot have exams as the grades are determined by the homework, in-class work, lab reports, and aterm project done with their lab group.In Fall 2020, in response to the pandemic, the course was taught in a hybrid mode whichcontinued through Spring 2021.

Theproject was first described in the syllabus as worth 10% of their overall grade and later outlinedin more detail with a class handout. To give added incentive, each project was subject to extracredit for demonstrating above and beyond effort and completeness. As well, students were firsttasked with self-selecting into groups of three or less and submitting a project description forapproval.II.

Students were also shown that the course website could be browsed wirelessly with aPalm or downloaded for offline viewing. One class during the semester was set aside for conducting a one hour hands-on lab usinghandheld computers. This lab was conducted midway through the semester.

In one of Knowles’last works on the subject, he discussed eight steps to implementing andragogy in practice [15].These steps involve preparing the learner, creating the proper learning environment, involvinglearners in diagnosing their needs and developing appropriate objectives and plans, to name afew. Overall, these steps describe a much more collaborative learning model different fromtraditional teacher-centric instructional design at the undergraduate level. Where once a major isselected, many courses are prescribed and within those courses the objectives, syllabus, andassessment tools are determined solely by the professor and not in conjunction with the students.To determine the effectiveness of

The course syllabus comprises topicsmainly on machining and CNC. At Drexel University (DU), all the students in theEngineering Technology Program learn the basics of machining, Computer Aided Designand Manufacturing (CAD/CAM), dimensioning and tolerancing, and statistical processmeasurement in a CNC course. In machining process planning, selection of machine toolsand process tolerances is critical as they directly affect the part quality and the machiningtime. An optimum process

With new multimedia and storage technology, manyinstructional lessons are being shifted to the three-dimensional realm of computer learning,utilizing not only text and graphics, but also video, audio, animation, and interactivity. Not onlydoes this technology allow for an enhanced learning environment, but also extends educationalopportunities to previously underserved populations.

The Ethics Across the Curriculum (EAC) program at theRochester Institute of Technology (RIT) was designed to bring together faculty from diversedisciplines across the university, who would then spend time examining their syllabi, and seeinghow ethical considerations could be made explicit or naturally introduced as an integral part ofthe course, not as

These projects also consider the course syllabus and practical skillsrequired for students, like problem-solving and hands-on skills.For example, the sophomore year at SDIM involves five project-based courses: Design Thinkingand Engineering, Electronic engineering and Analog Circuits, Material Engineering, RapidPrototyping, 3D Print, and Mechanical Engineering.

In general, however, the matching apparatuses areexpansive, not only to buy but to maintain them as well. As a consequence, only a fewuniversities can afford it. Besides, it is non-sense that all (or the most) universities to own thesimilar instruments in a small island country like Taiwan. Therefore, the first goal of the programis to encourage those universities or labs which have similar and expansive equipment are willingto share their facilities with the near-by universities.

-19 has affected all aspects of life, including how we travel. As faculty membersresponsible for teaching infrastructure courses across four universities, the authors collaboratedon creating a teaching module addressing this critical issue. The module focuses on the impactsof COVID-19 on different transportation systems from various stakeholder perspectives. Themodule was implemented in two universities (n = 25): Southern Methodist University (SMU)and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech, NMT) in fall 2020and will be implemented again at other schools in fall 2021. This paper presents the resultsobtained during the first implementation of the COVID-19 teaching module during the fallsemester of 2020 and addresses how
