We developed a low-cost,modified fidget spinner that introduces students to blood separation principles. On each arm of thespinner, there exists a see-through chamber filled with fluid and microbeads at various ratios,which simulates the effect of hematocrit, or red blood cell fraction, on settling velocities andterminal position—phenomena that are utilized to enhance blood separation efficiencies. Due toCOVID-19, we plan to implement this device by mailing fidget spinner kits with a complementaryworksheet to the students to conduct observational experiments at home in the spring

With the full implementations, the research team will be able toanalyze each element's impact, redesign and enact again.During the Fall 2020 semester, the project team reached out to industry mentors, and manyindustry mentors graciously agreed to volunteer for the project. Even though other mentors werewilling to volunteer for the project, the project team chose two industry mentors to work onindustry-relevant problem designs due to time constraints.

Thefurther reflection questions in the survey indicated that the students were able to understand EMconcepts, make actionable and effective plans to apply EM both in their upcoming courses orside projects, and their future career as engineers.IntroductionGamification is an interactive way to promote active learning, especially in an online classroom.It has been tried in a variety of scenarios in engineering education and otherwise [1-3].

By describing in detail ourprocess, we aim to provide a flexible guide by which other units might adapt and develop similarprograms to help faculty enhance their teaching. We show that program success—as far as wecan see it in these early stages—is characterized by a focus on understanding stakeholder—especially instructor—needs around teaching, embracing a process that distributes power andleadership throughout planning and decision-making, investing organizational support throughtime and money, and assessing progress and goals regularly.To do this, we first situate our peer review of teaching program within the broader context of ourdepartment’s formation and existing models for evaluation of teaching.

[1], some teaching activities in the online environmenthave “the potentials to cultivate deeper learning experiences, but they can fail to do so ifactivities are not designed and implemented properly.” The rapid switch to online instruction inMarch 2020 did not allow faculty members to train, plan and reflect upon the best teachingmodes for online instruction, unless they had previously taught an online class. Therefore, aswith many other researchers, we consider the Spring semester to be an example of remotelearning rather than planned online learning [3].In October 2020, the Chronicle of Higher Education conducted a survey among faculty membersin US institutions to gain

To measure this, we plan to survey both instructors and theirstudents, before and after the workshop. To prepare for our RCT, we developed surveyinstruments, assessed pilot offerings of our workshop, and investigated student resistance toactive learning in classes of workshop participants.
