accreditationvirtual-site visit compared to a physical on-site visit. IntroductionIn 2009, the ABET’s Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) started a process to review andrevised Criterion 3-Student Outcomes (a-k) of the general accreditation criteria which was developedin late 1990s and implemented in 2000. After an extensive review process, in 2015 the EACrecommended changes to both Criterion 3-Student Outcomes and Criterion 5-Curriculum1-3. Thechanges, included: 1. expansion of definition of terminologies used in the general criteria, 2. changing student outcomes a through k into student outcomes 1 through 7, and 3. clarifying the statements in criterion 5 by stating that it requires a minimum of 30

Furtheradvancement in miniaturization, automation, lightweight, and artificial intelligence technologies are atthe forefront of current research for long-term usability [1-2]. Manufacturing robots as a pedagogicalpractice supports student learning in different entities of the engineering field. Prior to the COVID-19pandemic, limited studies explored the impact of remotely teaching robotics on pedagogy for replacingor supplementing theoretical courses and traditional hands-on laboratories. Assessment of remoteteaching on student performance has revealed online labs as effective learning environments [3-4]. Thispaper reports a robotic design project framework

It had been developed as part of anEntrepreneurially Minded (EM) activity, however, this paper is not focused on the EM orientedaspect of the activity [1]. The activity was to be used in Fall 2020, but due to how COVID-19disrupted the classroom experience, it was not provided to students during Fall 2020. Withincreasingly familiarity of how to operate a classroom in-person during COVID-19 in a safemanner and following university guidelines, the activity was revived for Spring 2021 but thistime with input from a senior undergraduate electrical

Thiscan often put students in the position of searching for the “right ethical response,” rather than applying their personalethic toward reasoning through various contingencies and trade-offs to determine their best path to solution in aparticular moment. Drawing on the contemporary learning theory of situated learning [1][2], playful learning mayenable instructors to create assignments that enable students to break free of the typical student mindset of findingthe “right” answer, and use various game mechanics to induce them to act more as themselves, as they wouldon-the-fly within a real engineering project context, drawing on personal reasoning and justifications, rather thansimply right/wrong answers.
