efforts.7. SummaryThe online offering of the introduction to mechanical engineering during the coronavirus pandemicis considered successful, as the assessments show comparable results to previous offering in atraditional face-to-face format. The student’s feedback, provided in their course evaluation,indicates appreciation for the online class. After the successful completion of this online class,some improvements in the materials and communication with the students will be implementedfor at least one more online semester. However, the online lectures and their corresponding quizzesare likely to continue for this class because they are considered highly effective, as compared tolive lectures with recorded attendance. Simulation work can continue

Team-based, designactivities and projects making use of computer simulations have been important instruments toassess these CLOs (see ‘Results’).This paper includes a description of the

The materials provided werethe same for each team of students and contained two identical disposable film cameras,along with other items. Each team was required to design and build a mechanical timer(from the set of given parts) which would autonomously trigger the camera shutter withoutany additional input from the users. This timer would then be taken aloft by a set of heliumballoons of differing sizes which they could “purchase” using points on testing day.

. Introduction to Mechanical Engineering is a course thatintroduces mechanical and civil engineering students to the engineering college education andprofession. The challenge-based instruction (CBI) curriculum developed for Introduction toMechanical Engineering includes challenges, lecture and handout materials, hands-on activities,and assessment tools. CBI is a form of inquiry based learning which can be thought of asteaching backwards strategy. When implementing CBI, a challenge is presented first, and thesupporting theory required to solve the challenge is presented second. CBI was built around theHow People Learn (HPL) framework for effective learning environments and is realized andanchored by the STAR Legacy Cycle, as developed and fostered by

overall approach to this work was tothus create an active environment for students within the course, which had an enrollment of 145students for the Fall 2016 semester. The rationale to this approach was that by providing studentswith hands-on experiences working with mechanical engineering problems and computationalsoftware, the understanding of course content will improve [11,12] whereby improving retention[13]. While some immediate test and survey data were acquired and are shown in this work, it isimportant to note that the true impact on retention is not currently recognizable and will requirefuture analysis.In-Class SessionsClass sessions were varied throughout the semester and the week, as they typically includedlectured course material

In addition, mechanics-relatedprojects are intended to help students see how material in PHYS 218 Mechanics can be appliedto engineering projects. One question that arises is how well students who were enrolled in theSTEPS curriculum performed in ENGR 221 relative to the students who were not enrolled in theSTEPS curriculum.
