Programming & CircuitryA large part of conventional ENGR 111 course curriculum is focused on the essentialfundamental engineering skills of programming and circuitry. Conversion of related classactivities to remote instruction was exponentially simplified due to the existence of another free,online platform known as Tinkercad (www.Tinkercad.com). The entire Tinkercad site includespowerful simulation software for a variety of purposes, such as 3D modeling and Arduinoprogramming. The circuit environment allows for design, programming, and simulation.Tinkercad has a simulation workspace and a component library that is based on existing Arduinokits. This allows for the creation of a variety of circuits that range from simple to complex. Inmost

A survey was used to investigate the utility value and efficacy of approximately700 undergraduate students in their first year of engineering studies at both a large publicinstitution and a small private institution. Data is analyzed for variations in baseline motivationbased on the students’ intended major. This analysis also considers known confounding factorssuch as gender, race, and prior experience with programming.

the biomedical and related engineering disciplines. Whenappropriately scaled to the middle and high school levels [1,2], biomechanics can integrateconcepts from courses that many students and educators view as disconnected, such as physicsand biology [3]. Biomechanics also provides alternative, inclusive examples to the classicalmechanics applications (e.g., automotive, aerospace) found in K12 secondary science andunderclassmen engineering curricula [2]. Given that undergraduate bioscience programs havemet gender parity while engineering as a whole falls far short of this goal [4], biomechanicsexposure at the middle and high school levels may also serve as a means to recruit talentedwomen from the biosciences into the engineering pipeline [5
construction-related programs in the United States – the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) and the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) do not require acapstone course in accredited programs. However, several learning outcomes of ABET andACCE can be directly matched to capstone courses in construction, especially those related tocommunication, teamwork, and professional roles and responsibilities of graduates [6], [7].Therefore, assessment of student learning outcomes specific to accreditation requirements can befacilitated by the use of an integrative capstone experience.In fact, researchers surveying engineering programs have indicated that engineering capstonesusually include several skills that can be easily

Their findings suggested thatperceptions of inclusion and engineering identity are related to student mental health.Specifically, they found that measures of inclusion such as ”Department Caring” and”Department Pride” were negatively correlated with stress, anxiety, and depression.With this research we approach the question of how these effects may be different in engineeringand computer science programs that are structured as entirely cohort-based, project-basedlearning experiences.
