This narrow emphasis fuelsasocial, apolitical, and apathetic attitudes in engineering, which is glaringly incompatible withthe real-world complexity of engineering activities amidst the increasingly multi-ethnic nature ofthe nation [3]. These deficiencies have informed leaders in engineering education to call foralternative instructional approaches to prepare engineering learners to undertake engineeringactivities with broadened awareness of (and motivation to resolve) societal inequities [2] [4] [5].Engineering educators can adopt ill-structured

Students will work in interdisciplinary teams to (1)understand the physics and the computational theory relevant to quantum computing, (2) developcomputer code that simulates a quantum computer, (3) understand the relevance and importanceof existing quantum computing algorithms, and (4) appreciate the need for future research inquantum computing. Our approach is informed in part by our experience working with a pair ofundergraduate students this past summer on the development of a Python-based quantumcomputer simulator. This experience showed that building a simulator was an effective way toteach the theory underlying quantum computing. Building a simulator also provides an excellentfoundation upon which to explore student-accessible

[1].What unifies these challenges is that they are all data-driven and requires design thinking.Design thinking is imperative in solving 21st century engineering problems, regardless of thetype of engineer involved [2]–[4]. Thus, it is important that students are engaged in theengineering design process, in hopes that they will have a smooth transition from school to theworkforce[5]. The design process provides a framework for scoping problems consideringconstraints, brainstorming possible solutions, selecting among the best options, prototypingsolutions, iteratively testing, and effectively communicating outcomes, which will all be helpfulto undergraduate engineering students when entering the workforce [2], [6].While the design process is

Information literacy is considered such animportant part of the discipline itself that that the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET), the official U.S. accreditor for post-secondary engineering and computerscience programs, has made it a part of their standards that all American engineering programsmust follow if they are to obtain and maintain their credentials: Criterion 3.7: [Students must have] an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies. [1]The most common way for engineers to acquire new knowledge is by conducting research.Although considered "soft skills", the ability to formulate a research question

As it stands, only approximately 55% ofthe students who enroll in engineering programs persist to graduation [1], [2]. Research hasrevealed that persistence is based on a wide variety of predictors from pre-college mathpreparation [3] to engineering school climate [4], engineering identity [5] and more. Severalholistic models have been proposed over the years that have attempted to organize the factors[6]–[8], and these models have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of persistenceand attrition for different student groups.One key indicator of

teams has been an important topic in business and education for many years[1], [2]. Intellectual conflict can prevent teams from making coherent and efficient decisions.However, directed constructively, it can also be a great source of creativity and innovation inengineering design [3], [4]. Constructive controversy is a method developed to systematicallyexpose intellectual conflict among team members and create a collaborative atmosphere fosteringdifferent perspectives.Constructive controversy is implemented in multiple ways. One of the most commonimplementations consists of dividing the team into two or multiple sub-teams. For a designproblem, each sub-team proposes a design solution and presents their design to the other sub-team.The second

lessons learned are being used to inform further changes in content and lab-to-lab knowledge recall.1 IntroductionThe act of taking a measurement is ubiquitous in engineering practice and in the collection ofexperimental data. With measurement comes uncertainty – the variability of the difference betweenthe measurement taken and its true value. The ability to analyze and make sense of large volumesof experimental data is critical to prepare engineering graduates for the modern workplace. Thetopics of error, precision, and uncertainty are frequently introduced in Physics and Chemistrycourses [1], [2], [3].

While the recent pandemic isnot the cause of these violations of the honor code, it has contributed to an increase, based onpublished research by Peled et al. [9]. Fewer face-to-face interactions with more computer useopens up more possibilities and opportunities of academic dishonesty.While there are different rules and principles when deciding what defines a violation to academicdishonesty, Amigud and Lancaster [1] studied how creating a strong idea of what constitutescheating can determine proposed solutions.

In part this isdue to ABET’s requirement of a culminating design experience following the shift to EC-2000about two decades ago [3].

. 1 1. INTRODUCTIONSince the COVID-19 pandemic began, most colleges, schools, and even businesses shifted to someforms of online communication. The colleges and schools adopted online education (synchronousand asynchronous) to reduce the impact of this pandemic on the students and instructors. Onlineeducation creates a simple and quick way of communication between the students themselves andwith their instructors. In addition to this, there is no need for the physical classroom space to givethe lecture. But there are some drawbacks for online education, such as lack of socialcommunication, which has a great role in the stress relief the students might have. In this paper,we compare the performance of the students between during the Covid-19
