This intentionaldesign includes the development of learning materials,instructional strategies, and assessments that align with boththe face-to-face and online components. In contrast,emergency remote teaching, as experienced during theCOVID-19 pandemic, differs from carefully planned blendedlearning environments because it often involves a reactiveresponse to unforeseen circumstances, leading to a temporaryreliance on online tools and platforms without thecomprehensive planning and instructional design associated Figure 1

Finding none, we designed our workshop basedon research conducted on ways to engage two or more groups. Our initial planning discussionssurfaced our main tenet in the workshop design. We wanted to center and focus on the teacherperspectives and experiences. For researchers, we wanted them to better understand the needs ofthe teachers while they were designing their future research projects.2.1 GoalsWe started our development of workshop activities by creating goals for the participants first andthen designing activities that would achieve those goals.

Applicants camefrom seven of the eleven areas of engineering offered as graduate majors at MSU. As part of theapplication students were asked to provide basic contact information along with a briefparagraph indicating which
insights into how educatorscan design learning environments using making to support engineering students to (re) negotiatetheir relationships with engineering. Our research questions include: 1. How did the activities in the course support Sarah’s (re)negotiation of her relationships with engineering? 2. How can educators support engineering students’ (re)negotiation of their disciplinary relationships?Our plan is to first interpret the mechanisms of Sarah’s shifting relationships with engineering andunderstand the role that making plays in the mechanism. Our second step is to zoom into detailedmoments in the course where she made (re)negotiations to understand what components ofmaking contributed to those (re)negotiations. Our third

Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL)COIL is a pedagogical modality that uses digital technology and online communication tools toconnect universities and specific courses in different world locations [22], [23]. Thiscost-effective approach engages students in a virtual international exchange to increasecross-cultural learning [24]. “COILing” a course involves a partnership between two facultymembers in different countries willing to collaborate and engage students throughinstructors-developed planned teaching activities [25]. For this implementation, chemicalengineering (ChE) students will work in a COIL experience to complete a five-weekcross-cultural project with ChE collaborators from

From this work, it was found that anxiety was an underlying factor thatcould determine a student’s overall performance in an interview. It was also concluded that asstudents become more exposed to technical interview practices their anxiety decreases, while inturn their overall performance increases.3. MethodThe objective of the interactive whiteboard problem solving study is to examine the students’ability to conduct critical thinking, verbally communicate their ideas, and create solutions to agiven problem.

An invitation letter in some cases may not be required but will certainly make your casestronger. The reference letters you submit with the application must present a strong case of yourachievements and capabilities to prove that whatever you are proposing in your project you arecapable of achieving your targets.

theuniversity applies to evaluate the partnership. Instead, PU3 described a “gut gauge” in which theuniversity considers the project, and the industry and tries to mitigate any possible conflicts. PU3asks the industry about their previous partnerships with the university, if those exist, and alsowhat that industry’s plan is for the project over the next several years. If there is a publicperception risk that may impact the university’s reputation, the partnership is evaluated at ahigher administrative level on campus to check for and mitigate any concerns. PU3 also stressedthat the partnership has to align with the university’s research agenda and mission. Overall, theassessment is subjective, with no standard set of guidelines created or used.PRU1 is

The nature of ET programs having more application-based lab coursesthan traditional engineering may be an influencing factor in these differences.Research [5], [6] seeks to gain an understanding of why there is a higher percentage ofURM students in ET programs than in traditional engineering. These studies look atprevious research and search for insight into the needs of students that are often in theminority. Data indicate that incoming ET URM students are more likely coming fromunder-privileged or underserved urban or rural high schools. It is recommended thatadditional

Over its planned six‐year duration, this project will fund scholarships to thirty‐sixunique full‐time students with financial need who are pursuing bachelor’s degrees in engineeringor engineering technology. The project aims to cultivate skills in entrepreneurial thinking amongundergraduates in engineering and engineering technology by involving a cohort of studentsacross academic years in an intensive learning community and bringing their technology‐oriented product ideas from concept to market

With it, students are allowedto consider any problem from the start of the United States' involvement in WWII to the end ofWWII, particularly with the development and use of the atomic bomb. In the assignment, a listof topics is provided for students to consider, including the development of the atomic bomb,Hunter-Killer groups, time of air operations, aircraft repair planning and operations, aircraft paintschemes, submarine operations, and battle planning and strength of military forces. These topicsrelate to course

Some of the key milestonesfor the conventional implementation of the course are: • The premise of the project is a product based on need from market analysis. • Completion of design specification document early on that specifies the tasks to be completed, such as a software requirements document. • In class, students often give formal presentations to discuss progress. Though students drive the activity, it is still teacher centric. Students play a passive role listening to instructor feedback based on the presentation. • Due to the passive mechanic of soliciting feedback from the instructor after presentations (and seeking their approval) the instructor is essentially operating as

Thus, female students could have less time for schoolwork than malestudents.To confirm our belief, we plan to conduct another survey to better understand the impact ofgender roles and social implications on female students’ confidence in their academicperformance. Also, we plan to continue to collect the data in early programming courses as weapproach the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, we will compare them with the current data.In addition, we plan to organize a female CS student support group to share their experiences.ConclusionBased on the data and the survey result, we believe that the academic performance of femalestudents is comparable to that of male students’ performance.

However, recent studies have highlighted majorissues in the ABC technique which include the high initial cost of ABC, lack of standardization,inexperienced contractors, and inefficacy of traditional project delivery methods [1].
