Department of Electrical Engineering The University of Texas at Tyler, Tyler, Texas. AbstractWith current technology advancements, the primary focus on today’s engineering problems is inautomating the systems. This can start from a simple automated temperature monitoring system ina home environment to advance Industrial automation using drones and robots in real-time. Theseadvancements have been a major drive for job opportunities and have opened doors forinterdisciplinary research across all domains of Engineering. Due to the huge scope of theproblems in the current modern world, Engineering solutions are becoming increasingly software-driven. Hence there is a high demand for

unique. Transitioning to a virtual environment created a rare opportunity to expand our reach tomany more exceptional U.S. students from around the world. In response, the program was reorganized andreimagined to create a full virtual SEES internship experience for the top 50% of student applicants. The 60 originalstudents from previous years grew to a total of 333 high school sophomores and juniors from 45 US states, 1territory, and 2 from oversees.Once confirmation was received, we placed the original 60 students into projects based on their top 3 choices of theoriginal project strands. The other 273 were placed into the 4 new COVID strands and the GLOBE MosquitoMapper project. The original projects worked with Scientists and Engineers

instructional strategy to improve student engagement. This paperdiscusses the pedagogy of implementing PBL in the online and hybrid models in the EENG 3306Electronics course for teaching the concepts of diode circuit models, voltage regulation, andrectifier circuits. Problem-based learning (PBL) is an educational method that is based on research in thecognitive sciences on how we learn [15]. It is an instructional approach that originated in the healthsciences curriculum in the 1950s [16]. The intensive medical education was presented as real-world problems that promoted independent learning with reduced lecture time. Howard Barrowsfrom McMaster University in Canada, who was involved in the early stages of PBL development,defines it as a

There is also a weekly online quiz which reinforces keyconcepts as well as requires students to rework example problems from the online lessons (withdifferent variables) or a similar problem.Rather than having all 40 students meet for two weekly classroom sessions, two equal sizedgroups (based alphabetically on the students’ last name) meet once a week.

since 1990. WTAMU currently has four ABET-accredited engineering programs (civil, electrical, environmental, and mechanical) and an engineeringtechnology program, all contained within the College of Engineering (CoE).Both the civil and environmental engineering programs feature mathematics, natural sciences (chemistry,physics, biology, and/or geology), and required engineering coursework prescribed by ABET EACstandards. Each program requires a one-semester capstone course called Senior Design that serves to usethese required subjects to design an engineered system that meets real-world requirements. During the Fall2019 and Spring 2020 semesters, the civil and environmental engineering capstone consisted of a largeproject that is described in

AbstractEngineering students are being asked to work on real-world projects and need to access accurate costinformation for their design projects. In the case of chemical engineering and related disciplines,capstone courses often require designing industrial processes or a chemical plant involving bulkchemical prices for both feedstocks and products. A lot of chemical pricing information wasavailable in trade magazines; however, bulk chemical prices are increasingly difficult to locate asproducers of that information have reduced the availability and further monetized the informationover the last 15 years. The resulting information sources containing chemical prices often cannot beacquired by academic libraries due to cost or licensing terms. In cases where
