the previousdedicated classrooms and laboratories. The primary disadvantage of the lab-classroom is therequirement to schedule the ensemble as one unit. An integrated, easy to use multimediacapability is much more effective than the previous patchwork of independent monitors anddisplays. The “classroom-of-the-future” experiment was very useful at assessing candidatemedia technologies. In particular, it was determined that large, flat panel displays were not yetcost effective and had too narrow a viewing range for effective use. The renovated teachingcapabilities certainly outweigh the considerable burden of planning and executing the renovation.Our students enjoy the flexibility of the new lab-classrooms and the mobility of chairs withcasters

An ongoing system of faculty evaluation can provide opportunities for facultymembers to request/receive peer feedback. Experienced faculty members might performin-class observations and hold feedback sessions to assist their faculty peers in furtherdeveloping and enhancing their teaching skills. A Peer Evaluation Program along withthe Administrative Review process and student feedbacks pinpoint the strengths andweaknesses of each faculty member.

devising plans for improvement.Students need to examine their own learning and thinking processes, practice learning fromfailure, and embrace continuous improvement. Such skills are essential in professional practice,but young people are often reluctant to use these opportunities for learning. I searched for a wayto encourage these traits and developed an exercise where students explicitly practice theseprocesses. They conduct the exercise after each of two major exams in my courses.The process consists of three parts. First, students correct their exam. Second, they conduct a“failure analysis” of their mistakes to examine why they made them. Finally, students create an“avoidance strategy” to minimize the likelihood of repeating the same (or a

Enhance skills related to engineering design methodology, including modeling, simulation and parametric trade studies. Simulate the mechanical engineering product development process. Illustrate the interaction between competing technical and non-technical issues and the role of compromise, constraints and merit. Provide exposure to various phases of the design process, from definition of requirements to product realization.

The core facultycame from Mechanical and Civil Engineering backgrounds, and had foci in the structural andfluids areas of Biomedical Engineering. In evaluating the existing programs, it was felt that thenew program had many aspects in common with Mechanical Engineering, especially as relatedto mechanics of materials, structures, and fluids. Although electrical engineering topics arecritical to a biomedical engineering program and would play an important role in the newprogram, this was not planned as a primary focus of our program.The third issue in our philosophy was the direction we felt our graduates might take upongraduation

In these formats, cases can be highlyinteractive and exciting.Student Centered Activities Student centered teaching should be at the core of any effective classroom. Themain idea behind the practice is that learning is most meaningful when topics are relevantto the students’ lives, needs, and interests and when the students themselves are activelyengaged in creating, understanding, and connecting to knowledge. Armstrong, et.al., 1show that students will have a higher motivation to learn when they feel they have a realstake in their own learning. In student centered teaching, the planning, teaching

In theintervening five years, outreach campaign was implemented to inform students and parentsabout the importance of studying mathematics and science. The follow-up survey found thatthe disparity between students’ expectations for their future careers and their current patternsof enrollment in mathematics and science remained unchanged. While favorable attitudestowards and interest in mathematics increased, especially amongst minority students, 50% ofall responding students still planned to take only the minimum mathematics required for highschool graduation.The NACME studies15 indicate that Outreach initiatives alone may not be enough to changemany students’ choices.

As an instructor, I was able to see whichparts of the lecture that students were understanding, and which areas required additional timeand attention. Student engagement improved through the use of Nearpod. Nearpod is an exampleof using gamification and technology to improve the student classroom experience. I plan toutilize Nearpod in all my future Computer Science classes. Future research could be done todetermine the optimal number of times during the semester to utilize the tool.

Both STEM and non-STEM students had highperceived self-regulation (M=4.43; SD = .57) and co-regulation (M=4.23; SD = .65). Thissuggests that when students participate in inquiry-based learning in either STEM or non-STEM,they will have high metacognition because of the strategies that help them plan, monitor, andregulate their learning process to accomplish goal setting, self-monitoring, and self-evaluation.When we examined the

Some of the challenges in the program were in sustaining engagement by students due totheir location over two campuses and their responsibilities and workloads of their graduatestudies. Thus, finding a common time was not possible so creating access through varyingdays/times and modalities was necessary. In addition, there were also challenges due to thepandemic affecting in-person event planning and the strain many students felt at that time.
