, what they do know, andhow they know it. A corollary of this is that once students realize they don’t know something, Page 23.1328.4they are more receptive to instruction and are “primed” to learn. This motivation is difficult tomeasure, but appears repeatedly in student attitude surveys we have collected. These twoexamples of student comments reflect some of these ideas: • “It's good to be able to formulate an answer right away to see if you understand it. Without it, when a professor is teaching something new, you think you know how to do it until you try to work on it later and realize there was an aspect you needed clarification

The major difference was cost. For universities withlimited budgets, the research and development of scale models makes perfect sense. Thisdiscovery, by itself, made the project worthwhile for both the students and faculty involved.Conclusions, Reflections, and the FutureThe use of scale models recreating ancient technologies has been added to the Technology inWorld Civilization course. The use of scale models has impacted the students learning process inthree ways. First, students take an active part in the construction process requiring trial and errorattempts to

A lack of hard deadlines and late-submission consequences was also assumed by many students. Despite repeated reminders, a lot of students forgot to submit the model files they used in the lab. The solution was to grade late submissions much more harshly; it is fine if a student needs more time to complete a report, but the quality of the submission must reflect this extra time spent. 3) It is important to clearly specify expectations in a grading rubric

Some faculty have completely banned AI use in theircourses, while others embrace AI as a new learning tool [6].The emergence of AI is prompting civil engineering faculty to reflect on whether we shouldadjust our educational approaches. For civil engineering faculty at accredited institutions, wemust look to ABET for guidance [9]. While the current guidelines do not address specific toolsand methodologies, it seems reasonable to expect that AI may become part of standard practiceused to solve engineering problems (addressing ABET Student Outcome 1). The application ofAI may also be useful in developing engineering designs that are holistic and meet a variety ofpublic needs (addressing ABET Student Outcome 2). Communication

Engineering as a heterogeneous practice should be aware of its entangled social justiceissues and work with the communities when creating designs [11], [18], [19].Engineering education is moving towards perceiving engineering as a sociotechnical field notonly because of the shifting ideology described above but also because the movement can betterengage students’ identities, hence broadening participation in engineering [8], [20].

Starting in Fall 2023, 13 activities wereintroduced to improve the course.

In future iterations of this work, we could ask studentsquestions such as: In your view, what does it look like to have a classroom community? Is havinga sense of community important to you in your graduate courses? Why or why not?It could also be helpful to explain to the students the purpose of the focus group beforehand.Students seemed to be expecting to give feedback in a manner similar to a course evaluation andanswer questions

According to Renshaw and Bolognino (2016) [6], academic efficacy encompasseselements of both cognitive and behavioral well-being. However, their analysis suggests that itpredominantly reflects behavioral well-being rather than cognitive well-being. This implies thatacademic efficacy is more closely associated with the persistent pursuit of goals anddetermination rather than solely cognitive abilities or beliefs about one's capabilities.3.

The lab modules provided students with practical experience in using IoT technologiessuch as MQTT, ThingSpeak, and Simulink to design and control mechatronic systems. Themodules covered a range of topics, including motor control, feedback control, and systemmodeling and simulation. The course provided students with a strong foundation in thetheoretical concepts of mechatronics, which were then reinforced through the hands-on labmodules. The success of the course is reflected in the positive feedback from students, whoappreciated the practical skills gained through the lab modules. Moving forward, the course willevolve to meet the changing needs of students and industry
