. The planned hands-on activities were either cancelled or replaced with videos when it ispossible. During April - June 2021, UBCO Engineering 11 was offered to the second cohort ofgrades 11/12 students from KSS primarily in the online mode. No UBCO lab visits were possible forthe second cohort due to COVID.Table 1: UBCO Engineering 11 course modules Labs or in-class Instruction Module Instructor(s) hands-on activities hours

... Figure 1. Image from Student 1’s response ...In the image above the red cord represents the sweep in the xy plane that allows us to form the plane with the z axis. It's important to make sure that the vector is found by moving "down" from the z axis rather than "up" from our projection in the xy plane.Student 2 made direct connections between the physical model and an abstract symbolicrepresentation of the relationships. Going back to the example vector, we can use the following equations above to get the unit vector. Figure 2. Image from Student 2’s response So why exactly is the unit vector so useful? One of the characteristics of a unit vector is that when you multiply it with a

For example, Kalaian et al.’s [5]meta-analysis identified that across 18 studies, formal small group settings enhance student’sabilities to succeed academically—especially among first-year engineering students (d = 0.84).Studying students’ online social media interactions, Su and Huang [6] found that students whofrequently use social media for academic

Moreover, the proposed holisticengineering design education prevailing over the restricted use of key technical macro-thematicfactors, allow for the design of equitable and inclusive solutions through the consideration of thediverse influences associated with the project. This is an especially critical feature given that keytechnical macro-thematic factors used for traditional engineering design may be developed basedon specific group(s) of our society. Therefore, not accounting for the uniqueness and diversity thatlocal-thematic may impose, and even demand, from the respective solution, e.g., Smart Gridprojects for a high- and low- income regions significantly differ on its design features

proposal to move on. In line86, Speaker 1 begins the utterance by acknowledging a previous statement, hence the Affirmationcode, and continues to guide the group by reviewing ideas that they have generated thus far. Line87 then offers a new idea, so we coded this line as Ideation. Then, in line 88, Speaker 2 attemptsto provide some direction to the group, yielding another Facilitation code. Further, Speaker 1’scomment offers Support for Speaker 2’s idea and so this utterance was double coded to capturethe dual function of the particular speech act. Such kinds of facilitation can be helpful to keepgroup conversation moving and productive during periods of inactivity. Discussion, Implications, and Future WorkThe codebook

Additionally, tethered VR equipmentsuch as Oculus Rift S and HTC Vive are significantly more expensive compared to Oculus Quest.Moreover, Abtahi et al [8] discussed that the head mounted display, compared to desktop VR providesusers higher sense of spatial presence and immersion.Virtual reality interfaces provide intuitive immersive experiences for mapping a user’s motion actionsand observations, hence develop muscle memory. Additionally, non-expert users of robotic arms aremore efficient [9] with VR interface compared to the keyboards that are typically provided with
vehicles of expression thathave supported the rise of employee activism (Yamada, 1998). Forums and community groupshave been set up in many companies to provide employees with the opportunity to speak theirmind on issues of importance. Google has historically been known for a culture of openness andtransparency which has been identified as a generating source for the rise of employee activismwithin the company. Google’s slightly longer history with protest has offered inspiration toemployees at other companies, and in fact Google walkout organizers have offered theirknowledge to leaders in other companies.BibliographyAlexander, J., Jarratt, S. & Welch, N.

Shakurnia et al. found learningbenefits for students who created 60 multiple choice questions covering different topics over thelength of the term, which is closer to the experience of the OER students than the coursestudents. OER students overall reported that their understanding of mechanics increasedfollowing their work term.Course students seemed to stick with topics they were comfortable with (e.g. Work-Energy), andwere not required to revise and correct their problems.
