that, while there is someup front time required to convert existing labs, it can cause less time to be spent later andtherefore may be worthwhile for instructors, independent of the advantages to students.Finally, an additional advantage is that it could be easier to understand for someone who is notfamiliar with the lab at all. When student work is being gathered for accreditation purposes, sucha lab could be easier for evaluators to read and understand what the students were being requiredto do as well as how they performed on the task.The major disadvantage seen by the instructors was simply the time required to convert apreviously existing lab to this format. Given the advantages to both faculty and students, thisstudy suggests that all

Intersectionality has gained recent traction in engineering education research as a theoryand means to center the lived experiences of multiply marginalized students in engineering.Rooted in critical post-Civil Rights Era scholarship, intersectionality developed alongside criticalrace theory to further theorizations of multiply marginalized people’s, particularly Blackwomen’s, experiences of oppression and push for radical liberation [1], [6], [7]. However, as ithas entered mainstream academic parlance, some intersectionality scholars have argued that ithas been used, misused, coopted, and

The first course which I developed was “Introduction to Aerospace EngineeringI” which included course content on aerodynamics with some fundamental flight dynamics.The basis for the project discussed in this paper grew from some initial first year PBL softwareexplorations with a MATLAB® [3] Vortex Panel Code where the students described theaerodynamic characteristics such as coefficient of lift and drag for various airfoils in the“Introduction to Aerospace Engineering I” course. The type of analysis that was done with thecode was typical of what would have been found using an experimental wind tunnel to find thelift-drag polar for an airfoil. Knowing that these were simply simulations, the students wereasked to

This is especiallynoteworthy for pre-tenure or other faculty in positions where course evaluations are of highimportance. While online quizzing reduces the time required for grading, it may introduceavenues for potential academic dishonesty and has spawned research efforts to investigatemethods to minimize ‘cheating’ in online course offerings [10], [11].

Many educators continue to devote attention to how to structure classes to teachmathematics engineering students (e.g. Venable, McConnell and Stiller8 ,Aroshas, Verner andBerman9 ; McKenna, McMartin and Agogino10 ).At the same time, however, there is a prevalent belief among practicing engineers that themathematics they learned in college is not applicable to their daily work.

The instructor then reads through the student answersbefore class and tailors the classroom experience based on student understanding.
