, Attitudes, and Perceptions of Oral Engineering ExamsIntroductionWhile it is commonly known that verbal communication and presentation skills are highlydesirable by employers, many engineering students’ technical learning is assessed primarilythrough written examination means. In the department of Integrated Engineering (IE) atMinnesota State University, Mankato, verbal exams are a fundamental formative and summativeassessment method of checking students’ understanding [1]. While the goals for verbalexamination are common throughout the program, this paper aims to compile the individualphilosophies, approaches, attitudes, and perceptions of faculty within the department who giveverbal examinations on a regular basis

To supportthe movement towards creating better teaching faculty and its goals to improve STEMundergraduate education, proposed and was approved to develop a certification to theundergraduate population. Distinguishing itself from the graduate level, it was named CIRTLundergraduate associate certificate. To earn this certification the students must complete thefollowing seminar classes: ● Engineering 396 (ENES 396): Fundamentals of Teaching Fellow Scholarship ● Engineering 397 (ENES 397): Advanced Topics of Teaching Fellow ScholarshipBoth seminar classes

Its primary goal is to familiarize students with modeling techniques76 based on system accounting principles and equations, thereby preparing them for advanced77 disciplinary-specific courses. The course specifically focuses on the system accounting principles78 and equations related to four key quantities: mass, charge, energy, and momentum. In addition to79 introducing these fundamental concepts

person is evaluating the deliverables in technical understanding (though thereare exceptions for unique assessments like fundamental principle exams), so there can be roomfor bias in the instructor’s evaluation. Some of the ways instructors may combat this is by havingstudents evaluate themselves or one another in addition to the instructor’s evaluation, allowre-doing of work (which could also align with growth mindset), giving plenty of thoroughqualitative feedback, both spoken and written, and having a lot of low-stakes deliverables versusjust a few to combat one bad or biased grade. Many instructors also choose to use rubrics here toallow for constant and structured reminder guides in grading.Grading for Growth MindsetCompared to the

the program names contribute to some of these challenges,leading to questions about whether rebranding to a different name might be beneficial. Otherstudies have explored renaming motivations and results in geography [13], agronomy [14],writing programs [15], vocational education [16], and institutions [17], [18]. There is a generalconsensus that names are powerful, and changes often reveal tensions with the health and/oridentity of programs. Frazier et al. [13, p. 13] notes: “Do name changes reflect an expandedmission… or other goals such as addressing low enrollment, shifting student interests, or thedesire to project a fresh identity or realign with a new academic emphasis?” There may also beconcern about name recognition or conveying the

Allowing students the opportunity toreflect on their learning through assigned reflection prompts or writing assignments is also usefulin courses like this and can also reveal student growth and mindset shifts over the duration of thecourse.

This approach introduces thesecritical topics to all graduating engineers, broadening the impacts across the overall engineering field.Hence, we implemented project-based learning (PBL) based on the framework proposed by Engineeringfor One Planet (EOP) for several undergraduate classes and one graduate class at the University of Texasat Tyler. EOP, started by the Lemelson Foundation and VentureWell, is an initiative to transform engineeringeducation to reflect the importance of sustainability in engineering education[5]. The goal of EOP is toensure all future engineers across various disciplines learn the fundamental principles of social andenvironmental sustainability. Thus

traditional lecture style that is used in most engineering courses has several difficulties thataffect the processes of teaching and learning. Although many students can be efficiently taught asignificant amount of knowledge using this method, its one-way nature encourages passive andsuperficial learning and does not stimulate students' motivation, confidence, or excitement. As aresult, graduates of traditional lecture models frequently lack the fundamental abilities neededfor success in the workplace [1], [2]. The goal of engineering education research is to pinpointthe information and abilities that aspiring engineers must gain both in the classroom and in theircareer.Students' learning and engagement in a classroom environment may be enhanced by

and is considered a fundamental sub-ject in an undergraduate and postgraduate robotics curriculum. Furthermore, project-based learninghas shown significant benefits in engineering domains, specifically in interdisciplinary fields such asrobotics which require hands-on experience to master the discipline adequately. However, designinga project-based learning experience to teach control theory in a hands-on setting can be challenging,due to the rigor of mathematical concepts involved in the subject. Moreover, access to reliable hard-ware required for a robotics control lab, including the robots, sensors, interfaces, and measurementinstruments, may not be feasible in developing countries and even many academic institutions in theUS.

advanced classes?Background Over the past two decades, there has been a growing body of research dedicated to examining thelandscape of UREs. These studies highlight a broad spectrum, exploring not only the nature of theseexperiences but also the multiple benefits they grant to their participants [1], [2], [3], [4], [6], [9]. Thefocal points of these studies span from explaining the different UREs to understanding their impact ondiverse aspects of student learning and future goals. Exploring the outcomes, researchers have found thatUREs facilitate students’ development of fundamental research skills (e.g., data analysis,problem-solving, and critical thinking) [6], [10] [6], [10], [11]. One notable aspect of UREs is that the
