application-based environment where they are able to see theircode take shape on the Micro:bit. Another aspect of this course is to expose students to theMakerspace on campus and get them to actively use the facility to design and make workingprototypes. This is done by running multiple pieces of training such as 3D Printing, Introductionto Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Laser Engraving, and Cutting during class time in theMakerspace. Another important facet of this course is introducing students to data analysis anddata visualization applied to real-world datasets using Python, specifically Python libraries suchas Numpy, Matplotlib, and Pandas. This helps students gain hands-on experience inimplementing and utilizing data science tools and eventually

Cost-Benefit Analysis to Compare Stormwater Management Strategies The feedback from students on the guest lecture (Table 1) wasoverwhelmingly positive (n=13/13). Many students expressed their admiration forthe intelligence and knowledge, highlighting the ability to deliver detailed andinteresting information about stormwater management. The students appreciatedthe real-life applications of stormwater management showcased and found thecontent about designing green infrastructure and different types of GIsparticularly engaging. Furthermore, the summaries uploaded by the students hadmore real-world practical applications as

education community, especially for instructors who have recently started teaching acourse with a laboratory or large design project.IntroductionLaboratory experiences are a form of experiential learning and a common component ofundergraduate STEM education. They provide valuable experiences for students, who benefit byconnecting the theories learned in class to practice in the laboratory. In the laboratory, studentsalso have opportunities for design, problem solving, and exposure to real-world issues that arenot usually present in traditional hand-written homework assignments [1]. However, to operateeffective laboratories, engineering departments and colleges must address challenges such asbudget constraints, space limitations, class size, and

In thiswork three mini-projects were developed that cover three of the main topics taught in the course.By conducting these projects, I found that several of the students benefited and saw an increasein their MATLAB programming skills. Throughout the semester I found that the first mini-project had the most programming questions while the third mini-project had fewer MATLABquestions because the students became more proficient and confident in using

Poster presentations are usuallyassigned in addition to a final report in engineering design courses and are expected to enhancestudents’ presentation skills (Davis and Wilcock, 2003; Sibley et al., 2012).Tranquillo and Cavanagh (2007) argue that short assignments such as posters allow the studentsto think about the content instead of solely focusing on writing a long lab report, which they referto as “busy work”.

The adoption of a 0–4 grade scale, in alignment with standards-based grading,is aimed at emphasizing success, simplicity, and reduced susceptibility to error andvariance. While this approach offered insights into grading based on standards,challenges arose in computing final grades, leading to a hybrid approach.Equitable grading is based on inspiring students to learn and promoting a growth mindset.Bias

In STEM/STEAM fields, both professionals andstudents must keep up with the fast pace of innovation, making information literacy essential toprofessional growth. Source evaluation instruction in students’ disciplines can help studentsidentify the information sources most applicable to their research. Moreover, reading credible,current publications helps students learn the discourse of their discipline [1]. However, thecomplex range of sources and ways of searching available to

Hybridcourses blend the benefits of face-to-face interaction with the flexibility of online learning,allowing students to engage in discussions, collaborate on projects, and participate in real-timeactivities. Fully online courses, on the other hand, offer students the convenience of learningfrom anywhere at any time but require strong self-discipline and time management skills
