where some students do not have the internetbandwidth or equipment to do this effectively. As a result, the main method of challenging anypotential issues with academic integrity is to randomize the problems.In an in-person class, all students would be provided the same problems with the same numbersbut potentially in a different order along with randomized seating. However, for the online exam,students received the same problem but with variations to the loading locations and values. Thiswould still test students on the same objectives at the same level of difficulty but would deterstudents from trying to direct copy. As students were required to submit hand calculations, theinstructor was reviewed them for any unusual responses or signs of

Every course is assigned a dedicated groupof peer mentors who assist instructors and students during lectures and hold separate mentoringsessions every week. The curriculum for the Computing Applications minor (aka PINC minor) consists of thefollowing five courses, and the recommended course sequence is as follows: Fall (Year 1, Semester 1) ● CSc 306: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Computer Programming Spring (Year 1, Semester 2) ● CSc 219: Data Structures and Algorithms Fall (Year 2, Semester 3) ● CSc 308: An Interdisciplinary

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Exploration elective: Students from all Disciplines Explore Engineering and SciencesAbstractUniversities face the challenges of an integrated, globalized world and new competenciesrequired in the job market. In recent years, our institution, a large private multi-campus Mexicanuniversity, has been preparing for these new challenges by migrating its educational model froma traditional lecture modality to challenge-based learning, emphasizing competencies instead ofeducational objectives. Students take the
ethical training and data acumen of data scientists, integrating program assessment methodsinto the curriculum processes from design to operation, and continuing to innovate based onemerging needs in industry and application areas.Based on an understanding of the needs of industry within the state of Arkansas and the growingimportance of multi-disciplinary research that addresses high impact societal issues, theuniversity decided to invest in the development of a multi-college, multi-disciplinary,undergraduate program in data science. In the next section, we discuss the process fordeveloping the program, the program’s desired outcomes, and the resulting curriculum structureand operating methods.Program Development and DescriptionIn this section

Although sustainability can be a standalone course, there are somepractical ways to thoroughly introduce sustainability (environmental, social, economic) in aconstruction engineering course. For example, including in the course a module withconstruction case studies, where students are asked to follow the principles of Envision [12]and/or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) [13] and adopt the moresustainable construction solutions.Building a Construction CourseIn this section, general guidelines are presented for building an undergraduate constructioncourse for civil engineers, when the curriculum does not allow for

Arduino has beenwidely used for teaching junior and senior level controls [3]-[9] and microprocessor courses [10],computer engineering capstone projects [11], and communication systems courses [12].Arduino has also been widely used in lower-division courses. For freshman engineering students,Arduino was used as a platform to teach programming, design, and measurement [13]. In thiswork, the authors transited the Living with the LAB curriculum, which used the Boe-Bot mobilerobotics and the Basic Stamp microcontroller, to the Arduino platform.

takes excessive faculty members time to preparethe assessment. I think I think exam integrity is a big, big challenge, for engineering for the engineering curriculum. - PeterIn order to minimize cheating, some of the faculty members experimented using video proctoringduring assessment, either using software such as LockDown browser, ProctorU, Impendus ormonitoring students using synchronous Zoom meetings. In some cases, this has resulted instudents’ push back, with faculty members feeling under pressure about their assessmentstrategies. And they were saying like why I'm only using this because many other faculty are giving take home exam and I'm the only one who does like who tortures them…– HannaFaculty
objectives that are unique and personalizedwhile also contributing to their team’s innovation project. With such diversity of student work,applying a single grading rubric is impractical. Another problem occurs in evaluating theinnovation itself. How can instructors consistently rank the novelty and value of such diversestudent work? To tackle these problems, a grading scheme that involves multiple expertassessments of both the value and the impact of a student’s innovation needed to be developed.This work presents and describes the development of the Innovative Impact Scale and how it hasbeen integrated alongside Webb’s Depth of Knowledge levels as metrics to assess the innovativelearning outcomes of students enrolled in an IBL course.

. Another benefit to academic institutions is that they will achieve bettermetrics for having students graduate on time, as mentioned in the article by Perez et al. [2].Efficient advising optimizes the time to graduate, thus improving universities' graduation timemetrics. An adequate and effective advising process is crucial for a program to provide not onlycurricular guidance to the students but also improve the retention of the program in general.With academic advising being such an integral part of higher education, it is important to findways that can streamline the process and make the process the most efficient possible. Academicadvising programs and apps are helping to solve this. There are many benefits from usingacademic advising programs
