Knowledgeabout the rhetorical features of engineering lab reports helped them to clarify what defines well-written lab reports in engineering.The U/GTAs suggested improvements to the training workshop process as well as its contents.First, the workshops need to be offered early in the semester, so they can begin their labs withgood preparation. The first workshop on instructors’ expectations and knowledge of writing needto be offered in the first week of the semester while the 2 nd workshop related to feedback shouldbe given around the 3rd week when they have one or two lab reports on hands. For the trainingcontents, they wanted to see more examples of well-written and poorly-written lab reports

Fall 2020 data, the Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science(CECS) had a total of 1,526 undergraduate students. The College of Engineering, which hoststhe CECS Department, reported 19.9% female, 42,56% Hispanic, 45.18% underrepresentedminorities, and 33.81% first-generation students. We hypothesize that the gender, race, minoritystatus, and first-generation rates at the Department level are similar to those at the College level.The class: We are presenting the case study of a 200-level engineering class “Computer LogicDesign I,” with a typical enrollment of 29-46 students.

same ABET Accreditation category as ours -“Engineering (Bachelor of Science)”A review of the projects reported in the literature associated with first-year engineering designcourses reveals fairly good consensus on several elements. Not surprisingly, most design projectsprovide a problem statement for the students to start with (i.e. they are not tasked withidentifying a need) [2-16, 18-19, 21-26]. Providing a problem statement addresses studentinexperience with the EDP. On the other hand, the few projects that require students to identify aneed naturally focus on entrepreneurship [1-2, 5, 17, 20]. All projects reported in the literaturerequire students to work in groups to complete the design process. Certainly, this provides ameans for

If problems are done by hand at this point,it would be difficult for a student to solve a problem with just one element. Meanwhile, a tutorialusing the commercial software may involve thousands of 2D or 3D solid elements and display asmooth contour display for the results [1] [2] [3]. Also, in commercial software, much of what isapplied to the FEA model (e.g., constraints, loads, and material properties) is done to thegeometry instead of the finite element mesh. This has the advantage of automatically updatingthis information when the model is remeshed and can be quite user friendly. However, adrawback for students learning

, there was relatively little hands-on training intwo of the latter stages of the engineering design process – that is, prototyping, testing. In fact,students in the control year sought out facilities and materials on their own, generally did nothave access to a machine shop, and were not required to spend any particular amount of time onthe prototyping or testing steps. Further, no iteration of the design process was expected orrequired. These features are anecdotally typical of undergraduate design courses.Intervention yearThe subsequent year, the class was taught in an immersive, project-based manner.

I generally enjoy those lectures, but I find that students are so disengaged, like, automatically when you start talking about ethics. It's not all of them
