Classroom,and, the focus of this research, Game-Based Learning (GBL). GBL has been defined many ways in the literature, but for this study, it will refer to anyapproach that uses a game (digital or hard copy) developed to produce specific educational learningoutcomes. This is slightly different from the term “Serious Games” which generally only refers todigital games where entertainment is not the primary objective [2]. The interest of academics in GBL stems from the fact that youth are playing an increasingnumber of games, with 97% playing at least one hour per day [3]. Games are also designed toprovide continual entertainment resulting in an engaging learning environment [4]. Additionally,the immersive experience provided by gameplay

For the RAD section, there were four additional questions regarding the use of rigidassignment deadlines (Q15 – Q18). In the SSP section there were an additional five questions,with the first 4 reworded from the RAD section (Q15 – Q18). The last question solicitedfeedback on the use of suggested deadlines (Q19). Survey questions are presented in theAppendix. Cronbach’s alpha [5] was used to assess the internal consistency of questions groups.During the analysis responses were recoded as necessary to reflect the fact that some questionswere worded in opposite directions to reduce

Student feedback indicated that students felt that the career assignment would be better in BE 1251 so that students compiled this information in their first semester to better prepare them for college even earlier. The increasing collaboration led to moving the career assignment to BE 1251; career information is carried

reach to other majors. Wedesigned a Minor is Sustainability with a new SUST prefix that is open to all UHD undergraduates. Weare proud of this innovative, cross-disciplinary curriculum as solving future issues with social andeconomic components will require majors outside of the environmental sciences.The Minor in Sustainability is 18 hours (6 courses). Three of these courses can be selected as part of thedegree plan of most students if they choose wisely from the list of course options. For these three coursesstudents must take one course from each of three course areas. The areas include 1) environmentalscience fundamentals, 2) social and ethical considerations and 3) technical and business applications. An important addition to the technical

tostudy other major events that have threatened the safety of students. For example, the 1918Spanish influenza pandemic strongly parallels the current coronavirus outbreak. Although notspecifically focused on institutions of higher education, a historical evaluation by Stern et al. [3]evaluated the benefits and tradeoffs that resulted from the closing of U.S. public schools duringthe pandemic of 1918. Stern noted that for the schools that did remain open, the key to successwas clear communication and transparency among health officials, school administrators, and thepublic.A more recent event that disrupted education in the United States was Hurricane Katrina, whichdevastated the Gulf Coast region in 2005.

Biosystems Engineering program at the Universityof Kentucky is organized into a two-semester sequence with each course accounting for twocredit hours (four credit hours total). Approximately 25-40 students enroll in the capstonesequence each year, so there are typically seven to ten teams consisting of three to four memberseach. The meeting pattern for the course is such that the students meet for a one-hour lectureperiod each week, then have individual team updates or design reviews (10-15 min per team)during a weekly two-hour lab meeting. Students are encouraged to use the lab period as adedicated work session each week since it should be a guaranteed time when all team membersare available, as well as additional times outside of class time
