projects are central to our teaching pedagogy. In moving to ERT, we had manyquestions centering on retaining our pedagogy in a completely online environment. Thisdilemma required us to become collaborative learners ourselves, demonstrating anentrepreneurial mindset [2]. Specifically, we took risks to explore ways to create an onlinestructure to enable students to reach course learning objectives. Within our own discoveryprocess, we developed stronger collegial relationships and applied our learning not just to theclassroom, but to our service and scholarship work. Moving online in ERT changed the way welived out our culture and provided new collaboration tools that benefited all aspects of our workas faculty. These benefits can extend beyond the
the TBL Classroom OnlineThe in-person active learning classroom is a great learning space. The active learning classroomshave tables that seat up to 6 students with an instructor station located somewhere within theroom. Consider this the “corporate classroom,” i.e. a space where the instructor can interact withall the students verbally via a microphone and visually via information projected to large screensmounted on the room walls and on an LCD screen located at each table. Consider the table of 5-6students the “team space,” i.e. a space where a small group of students can work together, shareideas, ask questions, explain concepts, and show each other their work. One advantage of thisactive learning classroom design is that during active

necessary for one’s life to gowell. While there may be disagreement on what those precise conditions are, some basicmaterial needs can surely be agreed upon by all, including food, shelter, clean water, clothes, andhealthcare. In the United States, all these material needs cost money. Hence, to have loweconomic welfare is to be unable to afford the basic material goods that are necessary to haveone’s life go well.With this understanding of welfare, it is now possible to see how holding safety paramount canconflict with holding welfare paramount. To hold safety paramount can come at a substantialcost. If the cost of an engineering project that holds safety paramount is so high that it affects theclient’s economic welfare, then it is indeed not

In order for future engineers to produce efficientfunctional texts, they must acquire specific features of academic training in their undergraduateeducation that mirrors the demands of professional engineering career paths [7]. Research alsoproposes that students are lacking in projects that enhance their communication and teamworkskills [8]. This highlights the importance of the role of engineering educators as they are requiredto make careful selections of teaching material that both develops the student’s general writingskills and provides students with relevant practical experience in project-based learning andopportunities to work and write together as a team.The Technical Writing and Experimental Design course at the University of

As a result, the patterns of disadvantagedocumented here may be conservative estimates of the patterns in engineering education morebroadly.The ASEE-DIS asked students a range of questions about their experiences with engineeringpeers and professors, their thoughts about the engineering profession, and their future careerplans.

follow the K-12 engineering education principles byutilizing the project-based learning (PBL) approach. The PBL is introduced by Kilpartick andthis method is used in education by Dewey. This method is based on designing or creatingproduct, solving problem, investigating, and developing an answer (J Dewey, 1980; J Dewey,2008; Kilpatrick, 1918). The PBL approach improves group work skills and collaboration whilekeeping students more engaged in learning by keeping them motivated as the key element of thisstrategy (Harun, Yusof, Jamaludin, & Hassan, 2012; Huang, 2010). The fundamental norms of agroup of students working together are communication and collaboration skills as well as anintrinsic motivation to become an effective group (Blumenfeld

However, since faculty abilities and interests varywidely, it was not uncommon for some faculty who were moderately or heavily involved inteaching to also produce some significant research results. Natural curiosity, student interests,capstone projects, or monetary necessity might have been the driving motivations. Many facultymembers and administrators at such institutions were aware of the advantages of producingresearch results simply by observing the work of their peers at larger, research-orienteduniversities. As the years went by, the standards of these institutions were admired andgradually were put in place, at least partially, at
