Society for Engineering Education, 2021 GIFTS: Assessment Activities in Teaching First-year Engineering MechanicsAssessment activities play a significant role in teaching first-year engineering mechanics courses toensure that accreditation standards are met. Traditionally, for in-person lecture-based course delivery,assessments involved a mix of problem-solving assignments, lab reports, and examinations. In terms ofexams, they were often delivered in a time restricted in-person invigilated setting to uphold academicintegrity and ensure that assessments demonstrate course learning outcomes. With the accelerated moveto online delivery of lecture material during the Covid pandemic many instructors were required torapidly transform to an

He graduated from the University of Yaounde 1 in Cameroon and then completed a Certificate in Teaching Engineering in Higher Education at Villanova University. Dr. Kwuimy is interested in vibration analysis and in the use of nonlinear dynamics tools to improve the early detection of fault in complex nonlinear systems. In the latest, his focus is on engineering systems (gear systems, bearings) and biological systems (vibration in human-arm, human diseases). In vibration analysis, his focus is on the conversion of mechanical vibration into electrical energy (energy harvesting). A key interest of Dr. Kwuimy is the development of active tools/methods

Havingover 80% of our engineering college’s incoming freshmen declare mechanical, aerospace,electrical, computer or industrial engineering as their intended major, it seemed logical toprovide these students with a hands-on, project-based learning assignment that emphasizes howembedded computer systems control the physical operations in most machines/devices that areused today. Students in the remaining engineering majors, although not ‘required’ to take aprogramming course, are strongly encouraged to include a programming course relevant to theirmajor and as such, they should benefit from the knowledge and concepts gained from workingwith the TI-RSLK robot as well.
