challengebecame when one of the learning community’s faculty members was removed from teaching thiscourse to teach another course outside of the learning community based on other program needsfor that semester. This difficulty was managed by bringing in another faculty member from theprogram who effectively delivered the course for the learning community’s initial offering.After the first year of implementing the themed-learning community (TLC), “Designers in theMaking,” the initial faculty team reviewed course content and reflected on goals and outcomes.All concurred that the format would remain as originally developed to be used again for fall of2019 and 2020.

for the week.The rest of the time was spent with the students performing introductory tasks in the online sketchingenvironment. They took turns sharing their screens and assisting each other with the virtual sketching tasks.These class interactions accounted for a small amount of the course grade. The majority of the grade wasassociated with completing the online training modules described previously. Short reflections were alsoa required part of the course. The students read articles or watched videos related to visualization orvisualization training, and then wrote 200 – 300 words about their reactions.

We willdesign this lab to showcase the advantages and disadvantages of each data model. For example,students can work on a scenario in which data entities are highly connected.

. However, the shortcoming of themodel [1] is that uniform inflow is introduced at the inlet. If the uniform flow is considered, a largeregion needs to be modeled on the upstream side of the building to develop the logarithmic velocityprofile before the flow approaches the building. This would increase the computational time andsubsequently the computational cost. Hence, to optimize, a logarithmic velocity profile can beselected for the inlet, which saves both computational time and cost and at the same time resemblesa closer reflection to real-world atmospheric flows.1.6. Standard Wall FunctionFurthermore, the velocity gradient close to the wall is very high near the ground due to groundfriction. Therefore, to solve flow correctly, we need to

largeengineering class may involve students with these learning styles, and more, which requiresinnovative methods to teach them. Learning styles of engineering students and teaching styles ofengineering professors are often incompatible [36]. Most engineering classes encourage studentsto be passive. Students do not experiment actively or reflect which disables them to learneffectively. Active learning serves as an alternate to lectures [37]. The proof of what is beingtaught in class is in the fabrication and implementation of hands on experiences. BenjaminFranklin said, “Tell me, and I forget. Teach me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I learn.”Hands-on engineering learning happens naturally in industry settings. Internships and co-opscomplement the

NETI has been attended by 992 professors from 216 different schools. The NETI hasmotivated many of its participants to adopt or increase their use of proven teaching strategiesknown to correlate with improved student learning; made them more student-centered, scholarly,and reflective in their teaching practice; and induced many of them to engage in instructionaldevelopment and educational scholarship.13 SDSU has sent several faculty members to NETIover the last few years, an indicator of College of Engineering support for

And even those that discuss the general microcontroller structure, they do so very spar-ingly without planting the necessary seeds to make the topic understandable to students. This ineffect is reflected in how the class ends up being taught in many schools, see for example 7–12 . Assuch students are forced to learn on type of microcontroller as if it is the only one in the market.These student tend to get stuck when required to decide for themselves which microcontroller touse in a particular design, or when required to work with a different type of a microcontroller.Their knowledge tend to

This style of instruction does not accurately reflect anengineer’s job requirements, which often include multi-disciplinary problem-solving andworking in groups. Under recent ABET guidance, there has been an increased push for project-based learning that integrates complex, group problem-solving to better align with employer’sneeds2. There is a large body of research related to how to best select individuals for
