Alongside her research, Dr. Ogle has been active in the development of engaged learning and has led two interdisciplinary undergraduate translational research and education courses - Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries (CEDC) and Clemson Engage. Both courses include trips to developing countries, international internships and sig- nificant fund-raising to support projects with community partners. As a result of her efforts, the CEDC program grew from 25 students to over 100 from 30 different departments and was recognized by the Institute for International Education (IIE) with the Andrew Heiskell Award.

The monthly credits wereprovided through Google Cloud Platform Education Grant. Each student was given $50 creditper month. The instructor/teaching assistant received $100 credit per month. In our labs, theapproximate cost of running a WordPress VM instance was $24.75/month. Our students wereinstructed to shut down their VMs after completing the labs. Therefore, the $50 credit wasenough for most students. The lab development was carried out on GCP athttps://console.cloud.google.com/.

This reduced workload and also reduced the amountof class time spent taking quizzes. 2) Weekly homework assignments were added back in as 10%of the grade, to motivate students to complete them. In Spring 2019 online homework wasassigned to help students prepare for quizzes but was not included in the course grade, and thusmany of the weaker students skipped it. These improvements were recommended not only by theinstructor but by a number of students in the class as well. 3) An open-ended design project wasadded for the Spring 2020 semester. Because the quizzes largely involved short calculations, aproject was needed to help students integrate the learning they received on a variety of topics andapply it to problem where there was no

reason, the Vibration course was designed to delivernotes in a traditional way (i.e. hand-written in real time) for all students. However, there was aninitial question on whether the notes produced should be made available to students. The concernwas whether students would bother taking their own notes if this was the case. However, separatestudies by Perry at the University of Memphis and Cunningham et. al at Rose-Hulman found nostatistical difference between test groups that for which instructor notes were and were not madeavailable.10, 11 In addition to the daily engagement with course material through lectures and home-work, a final project was introduced to engage students in higher level learning, i.e. evaluating andcreating in accordance

Students’ final weighted grade is determined by homework, online quizzes, classparticipation, final project, and three in-class tests. The most common course issue previouslywas the lack of enough practice time in class. With the flipped classroom innovation, there wasmore time to practice in class, however, how to motivate students to study online by themselvesand how to enhance their understanding in the class time was still a challenge. It is hoped that byearning gamification points through various online and classroom activities including onlineinteractive study, online quizzes, classroom teamwork, test practice problems, and individualcompetitions

adopted the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) tomeasure resilience in a student resilience project that we have embarked upon. Although theinstrument is a highly studied and cited resilience measure, we found no empirical study thatdocuments the validity of its use with engineering students.The CD-RISC is a 25-item resilience instrument that measures the resilience construct and itscognates. Although the literature identifies the CD-RISC as a reliable measure, efforts to replicatethe factorial structure in different samples have not been successful [15, 16]. Because resiliencescores are evaluated under different risk conditions and ethnic settings, the interpretation of factorscould be construed differently among various populations

Since South Korea is aging at the fastest rate among OECD countries, productivitygrowth is vital to maintain its economy. The South Korean government has stated that smartfactories will help maintain its productivity growth; the public and private sectors have set up aplan to increase the number of smart factories to 30,000 by 2025 [15].South Korea is one of the countries that is most exposed to risk from automation.
