Connections, and Demonstrate Value Creation for First Year Engineering StudentsIntroductionThe Rowan University engineering curriculum includes an interdisciplinary first year sequence,Freshmen Engineering Clinic I and II (FEC I and II), which is required for students in allengineering disciplines. Each course has one 75-minute “unlecture” period and one 165-minute“laboratory” period each week. Instructional objectives for the sequence include generalengineering skills such as engineering communication, collection and presentation of data, basicstatistics, dimensional analysis and unit conversions, etc. During the 2018-2019 academic year,FEC I and II were each offered in 17 sections of approximately 20 students each. Each section ofFEC II, which

Some instructors will havestudents build a transformer during the course [6], which is a non-rotating machine. Others havehad the students build a simple dc motor [7] to demonstrate the application of the basicelectromagnetic principles to yield rotational motion. But a practical rotating electrical machineis complex to construct, given the need for bearings, insulation, balancing for vibration, anddesign for appropriate cooling.Second, the laboratory materials required to demonstrate the operation and machinecharacteristics can be prohibitively expensive, with some systems costing over one hundredthousand dollars to

Benson, Andrew Danowitz, Paul Hummel, and Joseph Callenes-Sloan Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cal Poly San Luis ObispoAbstractMany undergraduate engineering courses include laboratory work where students are asked towork in pairs or groups to complete assignments. Group work can offer many benefits includingimproved communication and team work skills, appreciation and respect for others, and evenincreased individual performance. However, group work may also present drawbacks includingostracism, unequal work distribution (some group members not ‘pulling their own weight’) anddecreased individual performance. When creating groups, instructors are faced with decidingwhether to allow students to form their own groups or to

Social support must also beprovided by faculty, and further assistance can be provided by peer mentors.Method of ImplementationThe implementation of the PFE course series involves merging professional principles,experiential learning activities, and academic assignments. Faculty members, industryrepresentatives, university administrators, community members, graduate and undergraduatepeers, and the PFE students themselves all play significant roles in the implementation of thecourse. The format for the course is a cooperative learning style. Students are introduced toconcepts during guest lectures, workshops, and laboratory tours, and are required to exploreideas relating to those concepts through assignments and projects.

reflect on their learnings with the aim of improving theirprogramming skills and the quality of their programs.Introductory programming courses have historically high attrition rates because often studentsare not sufficiently and dynamically engaged with programming tasks. In fact, failure rates of 30to 50% have been reported in literature [1]. Beginners frequently feel frustrated and disenchantedwith the subject since the challenges of learning programming appear to be too overwhelming toovercome. While laboratory components of these courses help students with getting feedbackand encouragement in the face of programming challenges, practice and motivation beyond thelab environment remain uncertain. Therefore, it is necessary to explore

over the Internet, computer-based learning increasingly happen in students’ personalspaces (e.g., homes, apartments), as opposed to public learning spaces (e.g., laboratories,libraries). In these personal spaces, it is difficult for students to get help from classmates orteaching assistants (TAs) when encountering problems. As a result, collaborative learning isdifficult and rare. This is especially true for urban universities such as Georgia State Universitywhere a significant portion of students are part-time students and/or commute. To address thisissue, we intend to broaden the concept of “virtual computer lab” to include general computer-based learning happening in “virtual space,” which is any location where people can meet

class, it can be difficult to employ a writing-based approach. This difficulty arises in large part because these approaches are often seen astime-consuming when it comes to grading. And, these types of classes are already filled with agreat deal of homework assignments that primarily focus on problem solving. These homeworkassignments often serve as the primary mechanism outside of exams and quizzes to assessstudent learning. Many of these introductory courses also include a laboratory component. Theassessment of the laboratory component typically involves a written laboratory report. Becausethe introductory classes often have a reasonably large number of students in them, it may bechallenging to think about adding a writing component to these
