At both institutions, the courses of interest are required junior-levelengineering classes that incorporate simulations into the classroom. The study began Fall 2015,and for that semester the class from the mid-atlantic university was chemical engineering courseon separations with a total of 29 students. The course from the western university was twosections of a required aerospace engineering class on orbital mechanics. These two sections hada total of 67 students which were split into sections of 33 and 34. Required junior-level courseswere chosen for this study since by this point in the curriculum students have had a

countriesthat are positioned as high in one dimension and low in the other. For example, whileinternational students in the U.S. cultural orientation could be high, a country that is high on thepower distance continuum could also be low on the uncertain avoidance continuum.SamplingThe sampling procedure for this study was nonprobability, convenience sampling. A non-probability, convenience sampling involves seeking volunteers from a specific population for thestudy and using those who are readily available as the sample [26]. This study met the samplingcriteria as it sought volunteers from the population of undergraduate engineering students at asingle Research 1 university in the Mid-Atlantic of the U.S. There was no random selection orrandom

Mid-AtlanticUniversity (MAU) accepts approximately 800 first-year engineering students annually, and has anenrollment of approximately 1200 students in its fall and spring Introductory Programming Class (IPC),taught in MATLAB. The IPC is currently under redesign through the process of Backward Design[1].The research around this redesign attempts to answer the following question: How can theimplementation of non-traditional

The main goal of the research was to explore whether undergraduatestudent participation in an interdisciplinary service-learning collaborative project resulted in anincrease in their teamwork effectiveness.ParticipantsSeventy-six undergraduate students were recruited to participate from two colleges: PreserviceTeacher Students (PST, N1=34) and Undergraduate Engineering Students (UES, N2=42) at aUniversity in the Mid-Atlantic region. Their participation was associated with courses they weretaking as part of their degree programs.

The results from this paperprovide insight into how students interpret Curiosity and can be used to develop materials aboutEM that might better resonate with first-year students. Future work will explore the remainingtwo “Cs”: Connections and Creating Value.IntroductionThis study involves integrating fortnightly reflective practice into a first-year engineering coursewhile simultaneously beginning to instill an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) (as defined by theKern Engineering Entrepreneurship Network (KEEN)) in the engineering students at a mid-size,Mid-Atlantic, public university.

The finalexamination has ten multiple choice problems so as to provide some relief from the requirementsof complete, professional, and correct presentations of three or four problems found on the mid-term examinations and to make it reasonable (with large sections) to meet the deadline for finalgrade submissions.Our university has conventional Fall and Winter Semesters with the third Semester broken intotwo (Spring and Summer) eight week terms. Semester length classes are taught during theSpring and Summer Terms by having each class meet for two consecutive hours on class days.Spring and Summer Term classes are usually smaller and the department providescorrespondingly fewer teaching assistance

One of the components of this study consists of understanding the first-year engineering experience.The purpose of this paper is to describe the first
significantemployee benefit. All of these positive factors contribute to the persistence and desirability ofonline courses. There are also challenges to online learning, and these challenges are whatmotivates the desire to increase engagement. Even more so, the past two and a half years havemotivated many universities to temporarily transition from traditional in-person instruction tomostly virtual instruction. This transition involved developing new approaches to pedagogy aswell as student assessment. During this same time period, there has been an unprecedented growthin student usage of online support materials and support services. This paper focuses on howVirginia Tech, a large mid-Atlantic university is developing a signals and systems course in online

Student responses acquired through focus groups and one-on-oneinterviews were examined to determine how included the students felt in their engineeringcollege and also the broader scientific community.A small group of non-calculus ready engineering students enrolled in a large land grantinstitution in the Mid-Atlantic region consented to participate in the study. The student cohortparticipated in an NSF S-STEM funded program aimed at fostering a sense of inclusion inengineering by
