6 Post 18.17 4.03 26 98. Discussion and Future WorkAlthough the U.S. has new national science standards, limited studies have investigated theimplementation of the NGSS’ SEPs. Our study is vital to STEM educators and PD providers as itoutlines the challenges and success of implementing a robotics curriculum for science and mathteachers, along with the investigation of teachers’ self-efficacy. As evidenced below, the PDworkshop allowed participants to complete open-ended robot design projects by learning fromtheir engineering instructors while performing collaborative hands-on activities and overcominganxiety, all of which

Experience using ePortfoliosAbstractIntroductionEmployers nowadays focus less on academic achievement and more on personal attributes,experience, and skills. Engineering educators must also contend with the need to involvestudents at cognitive and emotional levels in authentic, meaningful, and immersive learningexperiences amidst a full curriculum. Electronic portfolios (or ePortfolios), combined with aseries of mini projects, have the capability to uniquely address all these needs.ePortfolios have been shown to be effective for supporting student learning by serving as apowerful vehicle for students to display their individual competencies while also allowingfaculty to provide personalized assessment. Due to the personalized nature of ePortfolios

procedural knowledge and retain important information (Butler &Roediger, 2007; Roediger et al., 2011). However, opponents argued tests can discourage learningas students tend to go with pattern matching or memorization as a way to prepare for tests (Case& Marshall, 2004; Marton & Säljö, 1976). Frequent testing also led to students focusing on fearof failure as motivation for the course (Tan, 1992; Vaessen et al., 2017). These arguments shouldbe considered while we discuss test usage in engineering classrooms as there could be otherways to complement tests to enrich the assessment design and experiences in fundamentalengineering courses.

With theexplosive proliferation of embedded systems, and the IoT, controlling complex actuators andsensors in real time is increasingly feasible. Many engineering applications generate vastamounts of data, and deep learning algorithms are effective at recognizing patterns andextracting meaningful insights from these large datasets [5]. Thus, an appreciation of deeplearning methods will contribute to better engineering decision-making processes [6]. Inaddition, deep learning enables better automation, optimization, and control [7].
