. The data science pipeline which wepresent has four major stages: data preprocessing, exploratory factor analysis, visualization, andfeature engineering. Our study revealed some trends and clusters within and across course units.Analysis results show the differences and similarities within the course units and help tracklearner behavior. A few differences related to gender were found, but prior experience in acourse taught using the flipped classroom model did not show a significant difference.Exploratory factor analysis identified two factors from the whole data: class activities and exams(factor 1) and homeworks and lesson assignments (factor 2). The discovered factors were foundto cluster in two groups within the course units: Unit 1 to 7
digital video has made video production arelatively affordable, manageable, and accessible tool in secondary and post-secondaryhumanities classrooms in the last decade, its use in engineering and science courses has beenquite limited to date.Searches of engineering education related databases such as ASEE, IEEE and ACM DigitalLibraries return hundreds of articles on digital signal processing of video as well as algorithmsfor storage and optimization of video, but very few (if any) articles have yet been publishedabout courses requiring the creative use of video technology for communication of engineeringand technology concepts in a student video project.Presentation of video content as an instructional aid in the classroom is commonplace, but

traditionalinstructor-centered approach to teaching the class, the instructor presents new concepts, derivesimportant equations related to the concepts, and then presents a collection of illustrative sampleproblems that are solved by the instructor in detail. Additional examples are given as in-classexercises, or assigned as homework problems. Periodic assessment of student learning is done inthe form of quizzes and tests given during the duration of the semester. Success in this courseusing this approach has been limited, as Circuits has traditionally been an engineering course thathas high attrition rates.2.2.

c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Turning Mesh Analysis Inside OutAbstractElementary linear circuit analysis is a core competency for electrical and many other engineers.Two of the standard approaches to systematic analysis of linear circuits are nodal and meshanalysis, the latter being limited to planar circuits. Nodal and mesh analysis are related byduality and should therefore be fully symmetrical with each other. Here, the usual textbookapproach to mesh analysis is argued to be deficient in that it obscures this fundamental dualityand symmetry, and may thereby impede the development of intuition and the understanding ofthe nature of “mesh currents.” In particular, the usual distinction between

online tests need further consideration whentransitioning programming courses to a fully online mode. We think that the synchronouspresence of the instructors or the TAs in online exams might help.Components found to be more usefulFor both courses, students found the course Piazza forum more helpful after the transition. Thiswas expected, as online forums like Piazza are known to be the students’ resort when it comes toseeking quick help from instructors, TAs, or classmates. This might relate to the finding that F2Flectures for both courses and in-person office hours for the CS2 course were reported more usefulthan the online office hours. After the online transition and the cancellation of F2F lectures andoffice hours, it was expected that

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The programs in Electrical Engineering Technology and Mechanical EngineeringTechnology at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown have required courses in rotatingelectrical machines. The EET program also has a required electrical power systems course. Anobjective of the Engineering Technology program is to have a laboratory associated with everytechnical course. It is the faculty's opinion that the practical experience

INTRODUCTIONThe four-year undergraduate electrical engineering program at UAF continues to satisfy theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accreditation requirements.Electrical engineering courses begin in the second semester of the program with an introductionto circuit analysis and characteristics of primarily passive devices. The third and fourthsemesters each include a four-credit course with a weekly three-hour laboratory coveringnetwork analysis, analog and digital electronics, and an introduction to energy conversion. Thefifth and sixth semesters include, as required courses, three-credit courses in circuit theory andsignal analysis, two four-credit courses in physical

Dr. Michael Cronin, Professor,Speech Communication at Radford University in Virginia states that “Burnout is a loss of will,motivation, idealism, moral purpose or commitment at work.”3 People may have a measureddegree of disconnection from their job brought on by constant work overload.

COIL helps to overcome boundaries in the educational community [1]. Inaddition, COIL places less financial burden on the students compared to programs such as studyabroad. However, it requires technological investments that most higher education institutionsalready have as part of their distance or e-learning tools.In this study, a group of (12 out of 27) engineering technology student in a project managementcourse from the University of Dayton collaborated asynchronously in a COIL project with peers(11 materials science and engineering students in an environmental engineering course) from
digitalelectronic devices are traditionally covered in separate courses1. The course projects and contentin these subjects are often offered independently without coordination across these courses, whichoften lead to students’ misperceiving these two subjects as completely different disciplines1. Inreal-life applications, mixed-signal circuits that combine both analog and digital components arebecoming increasing popular and are often inevitable. It is important to bridge the gap betweenthese two subjects.Recently, some Engineering programs have experimented to introduce a single course that coversboth analog and digital fundamentals to meet the needs of multidisciplinary curricula. For instance,for introductory level courses, the school of Engineering and

One way that this needfor energy curricula is being addressed is through programs in energy storage for stationary andvehicular applications2-5.The School of Engineering at Grand Valley State University is preparing students to compete forjobs in the advanced energy storage (AES) field by developing a three-course certificate inadvanced energy6. To complete this certificate, students may choose three of the following fourcourses: 1) Electrochemistry, 2) Alternative Energy Systems and Applications, 3) Materials forEnergy Storage, and 4) Electric/Hybrid Vehicle Battery Systems. This certificate is available toundergraduate engineering students earning a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E
