Thermodynamics CourseAbstractCan online labs improve student learning in comparison to hands-on labs? Do they have space inour curriculum for online and in-person lab offerings? Can some of the lessons learned apply toin-person lab offerings? Can online labs improve the sense of inclusion and belonging?These questions are addressed in the paper. The paper describes the five labs conducted 100%online in a 3rd-year Introduction to Thermodynamics course in a mid-size comprehensiveuniversity’s mechanical engineering program. The course comprises 200 minutes of lectures and125 minutes of labs per week in a 10-week term. The lectures are offered in a flipped format;lectures are pre-recorded, and class periods are used for problem-solving and

, the first-named author proposed a syllabus thatopened with the following line: “What does it mean to be an engineer?” Students would beexplicitly encouraged, both in the new syllabus and during class, to find their own answers to thisquestion in light of an eclectic mix of readings, videos, case studies, lectures by guest speakers,self-reflection exercises, and other activities intended to bring engineering’s past, present, andfuture to life. Kicking off the course was an overview of US engineering history from the 19thcentury on through the present day. After learning about the roots of the “pure” science vs.“applied” technology dichotomy, students then learned how engineers redefined themselves asprofessionals while negotiating a balance

Research has shown that faculty interested in pedagogical transformation areoften overwhelmed by the many tools, frameworks, and theories available [13]. One of theobjectives of this paper is to remove this burden on faculty and instructors by providing themwith an organized checklist of inclusive teaching practices stemming from variedframeworks, along with some easy-to-use resources, strategies, and examples, all in a singleresource. Further, our inclusive course design checklist is organized around the variouscomponents of teaching (e.g., writing the syllabus, selecting/training TAs, etc.) so it is (wehope) more pragmatic, accessible, and implementation-ready to educators, all the

worked as a team to develop a syllabus that could be adopted by other instructors.The syllabus includes recorded video lectures of some of the graduate mentoring topics. This would allowother faculty members to easily adapt them for their classes. In addition, we developed reflective promptsfor students to think about weekly and in-class activities to supplement the course development.Another important aspect of this course is the use of labor based grading. This method was developed byDr. Asao Inoue [32] as a way to make grading less colonial. We have now tested this method in theCURE and M-CURE course and found it to be well aligned with the goals of the course, since it providesa structured method for organizing resubmission of student

Moreover, theconcepts covered in an extra-credit pop-quiz can be outside the typical structure of quizzesoffered since the quiz does not pose any threat to their grade in the course. Additional assignments outside of scheduled class time is another option for extra credit;however, student opinion and completion of these assignments are extremely low

This concernties to a broader challenge within the OSU BME curriculum that does not prepare studentsfor the level of programming required. In the future, the industry partner will aim toinclude programming booth camps to ensure the students are prepared to handle thesechallenges.The future plan for this course is to become an official course.

First, increasing theprominence of the TC in the syllabus/course and the grading weight of the assignment mightreduce the number of non-respondents on the reflections. Currently, the reflection is a smallportion of a much larger holistic grade, so there’s little apparent penalty for not putting effortinto completing it.

Rutherford, University of DelawareAustin Cory Bart ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Work-in-progress: Exploring the computer science curriculum from undergraduate students’ perspectives Abstract—With large attrition rates among computer science (CS) majors, it is clearthat CS undergraduates face challenges completing their degrees. Although much researchhas tested various teaching strategies and how course outcomes are associated with drop-out rate, little attention has been paid to using a bottom-up, student-centered, qualitativeapproach with a large sample to understand how to improve required CS courses andcurricula. In the present study, we investigated CS college students
