and build excellent senior capstone projects even in thetime of physical isolation assuming that inexpensive rapid prototyping machines are available andappropriate pedagogical tools are implemented.1. Introduction Senior capstone projects are crucial components of most engineering curricula. They areoften used for assessing many student learning outcomes (SLOs) for accreditation purposes,recruiting of new students, and retaining the current students. These projects represent hands-onstudent-team efforts in engineering design and often require substantial laboratory andmanufacturing support using well-equipped machine shops and qualified staff. This workcompares three senior design project sets from three consecutive years (pre

benefits easily explain the reason behind the growing incorporation ofglobal elements to engineering education in institutions around the world. However, the numberof study abroad students from the engineering field still lag that of other disciplines, such asbusiness, and liberal arts. As shown in Figure 1, in the United States, only 4% of all study abroadstudents in 2019/2020 are engineering students, whereas business and management studentsmake up 21% of the numbers (Institute of International Education, 2020). There are considerablereasons for this: academic rigor, administration hurdles, the need for separate bilateralagreements with each partner institution, the loss of institutional knowledge when a faculty oradministrator leaves the

Efforts to broaden participation in engineering haveachieved modest progress as students, especially those from historically marginalized groups,lack structured support towards academic success [1]. First-year, team-based design coursespresent a unique opportunity to foster inclusion through active, collaborative learningexperiences [2, 3].Undergraduate teaching assistants (UGTAs) often play an important role in building communitywithin first-year courses. UGTAs promote student engagement, serve as peer mentors, andimprove students’ perception of a course. Through their work, UGTAs build their own technicalskills, practice effective communication, and gain leadership experience [4-6]. UGTAs oftenreceive training on technical knowledge

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has impacted education in different aspects. Several studies reported thechallenges with online teaching before and during the pandemic [1]–[5]. With the transition toremote instruction to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, many instructors and students expressedthat their experience has degraded compared to the regular face-to-face class meetings. Thestudents' attention spans in remote classrooms were lower than ever before. In addition, manystudents expressed that they feel that they no

Introduction We live and work in a global environment that presents many new and universalchallenges for engineers and, as engineering educators, it is not sufficient to prepare students toonly understand the fundamentals of technical skills. We must also prepare them to workeffectively in global environments and across different cultures (Warnock et al., 2008, Stablein etal., 2022). With increasing awareness of the importance of undergraduate students to have globalexperiences and, in part, as a result of the global pandemic, the opportunity for CollaborativeOnline International Learning (COIL), though it has been around for 15 years, has recentlygained traction. COIL provides a pedagogical method to deepen the global

Class sizes andpedagogical choices such as project-based learning are frequently constrained by the number anddisciplinary background of available faculty instructors.Prior work by our group has presented a framework for balancing competing curricular andadministrative needs [1]. Over the past six years, through stakeholder feedback and formativeevaluation, we have developed and continually refined a large-enrollment (ca. 650 students) one-semester FYE course taught by one to two faculty members.

The number ofnew faculty with disabilities is also expected to increase because greater numbers of individualswith disabilities are graduating with PhDs in STEM and are thus potential candidates for joiningthe professoriate [1]–[3].

the course.IntroductionAt the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, most higher education institutions realizedthat face-to-face learning was suddenly untenable and unreliable causing them to consider up tofifteen alternative modes of instruction and content delivery for their students over the remainderof the 2020-2021 academic year [1]. One appealing and flexible alternative is known as hybridflexible, or the Hyflex course format.Hyflex is an instructional format that combines face-to-face and online learning. This approachwas first developed in 2005 at San Francisco State University [2]. In this model of learning, everyclass session and learning activity that is offered face-to-face in a campus classroom is alsooffered

Students “develop computational thinking when they approach a new sit-uation with an awareness of the many ways that computers can help them visualize systems andsolve problems” [1]. In this program, students are exposed to the use of a computer to effectivelyprogram a useful tool for public safety. “The use of digital tools to test and compare solutions toan engineering design problem” [2] is demonstrated as students use Python coding to program thetraffic lights and as the instructor is able to provide real-time feedback to the students in a remoteenvironment.In our course, students were provided technical documents and were instructed on how to bestfind information in them in order to complete

requiring technical electives be taken. To consider this issue, a review of ABETCriterion 5 on the curricular requirements established by ABET for accreditation is helpful [1].Currently, ABET requires an engineering program to have 30 credits of math and basic science,45 credits of engineering topics, and a sufficient number of credits to meet a university’s generaleducation requirement. This last number will vary, but as an illustration consider it to be 21credits. This means that for a program which requires 120 credits for graduation, there are 24credits which the program can use at its discretion. In reality, most programs will use more than45 credits in engineering topics; in many cases, the program believes that more knowledge isrequired for

It is well established that several factors areassociated with attracting and retaining students in the STEM fields, including an affinitywith the discipline, a sense of belonging, interest in the field, self-efficacy, and prioreducational experiences, among others [1, 2]. One indicator of academic progressioncommonly used in educational management is the student retention rate. Academicprogression reflects the ability of the educational institution to achieve the retention of itsstudents. High retention rates imply good institutional management, low dropout rates, and,consequently, positive economic benefits for the families of students and the State itself [3,4].Beyond
