The learning activities could vary fromconstruction or industry site visits, lab practices, experiential learning, role-model activities,among others [37]–[41]. In general, the learning activities throughout this course aimed toprovide students with the opportunity to have hands-on experience with laboratories, connectwith the industry through site visits and role playing, understand the application of their theorylessons and their involvement with academic student chapters to connect with upper-levelstudents—tutoring and mentorship.ResultsThe following sections presents the outcome of the course design

work represents learningtools for IoT concepts that were intended for a traditional (non-remote) course. Although at thetime of its publication the laboratory was not yet implemented, its content shows hands-onexercises for the laboratory. Jones describes the design of a hardware kit and laboratoryexercises to offer students hands-on experiences with embedded systems as well as IoT [6].Remote learning was not targeted in this application. In their 2021 survey paper on IoT ineducation, Ronoh et al. recommend that IoT courses should have practical skills as one of thelearning outcomes, which can be successfully achieved via problem-based learning (PBL) [7].The authors’ findings support that IoT is conducive to cooperative learning, and can

The datacollection of this study was conducted in the 2021-2022 academic school year, consisting ofthree measures: interviews, surveys, and observations. Differentiated interviews were conductedwith both professors and students in the Engineering School including questions regarding classand lab experience, curiosity, uncertainty, and motivation.

Program at Texas Woman's University AbstractWomen remain sorely under-represented in mathematics, computer science, and thephysical sciences. As a result, researchers have attempted to profile female students thatchoose these majors and to explain why others do not. Several studies suggest that maledomination of classrooms and laboratories and the lack of female role models contributeto the disparity. At Texas Woman’s University, a majority of faculty members arefemale, as are over 90% of students. Using a data set that contains information about allcurrent Texas Woman's University undergraduates, the authors have a unique opportunityto explore other variables that often differ

forms of interdependence. These views of how expertise operates in team5settings treat expertise as something that is both easily identifiable within individuals and roles,and something that can be applied discretely to a particular task or problem. Indeed, over timedisciplines, professions and roles become affiliated with particular forms of expertise and assertjurisdiction over particular tasks and work roles (Abbott, 1988). However, these frameworks regarding the utilization of expertise in group settings relyupon assumptions about the practice of expert work that may not match how individuals operatein STEM laboratory settings. These perspectives start from a common fundamental assumptionthat experts know and/or have the tacit

A survey ofthe courses offered in the ECE curriculum by the four year universities in Virginia list no coursesin PLC based control. However, there are numerous reports on innovative approached to teachPLC in engineering technology programs [11-12]. To offset these missing skills in ECEgraduates, a capstone project as a pilot course was introduced in this work. The PLC basedcontrol can effectively be taught in a hands-on laboratory setting which is the focus of this paper.. Hardware and software integration using PLCs, and active lab-based learning is more effectivein these types of courses for engineering students [13], [14].Use of industrial robots in manufacturing
