. This design made it easy for students to take the contentlearned in the module and immediately utilize a real-world application for it, exercising theirnew knowledge on their own research data. Since the document was shared with the twoinstructors via Google Drive we were able to check in on the students’ understandingperiodically throughout the course and provide feedback via the “Comment” feature. We chosethis form of assessment because it allowed us to gauge student understanding in an organic waythat would seem relevant to the students, rather than quiz-style assessment that we feared wouldbe viewed as busy work.The second prong of our assessment plan is to measure the long-term impact of the course via anonline survey that we will send

Page 22.900.13Another issue is that while some instruction is necessary if the students are to be successful,it needs to be done in a way that minimizes the impact on the time given to technical topicsand avoids repeating the same (nontechnical) instruction in multiple courses. The third issueis assessment, which we hope to address through the use of rubrics. While some rubrics areassignment specific, there are some generic ones that can be defined for common types ofassignments that can then be tailored as needed.The instructor supports are being designed and developed based on the experience ofpiloting the first set of communication-based assignments.

IntroductionThe integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into education offers transformativepotential, especially in crafting and applying grading rubrics for engineering courses. Thesecourses, with their complex assessment demands, ranging from technical proficiency to creativeproblem-solving, stand to gain from GenAI’s scalability, consistency, and efficiency. However,this potential comes with challenges, including preserving academic integrity and aligning withsound pedagogical principles. As educators adopt GenAI, they must balance its benefits withcareful attention to rubric quality and responsible

this paper, we present ourstudy of the performance of students in two partially flipped electrical and computer engineering (ECE)classes, where we compare students’ performance in the flipped modules to those in the non-flippedmodules. This comparison enabled us to evaluate the potential impact of flipped instruction on studentlearning within a single course offering. Also, we studied the students’ perspectives on flipped learning andthe activities conducted during class time.The elements of flipped classroom generally include (a) an exposure to the content prior to the classmeeting, (e.g., video lectures), (b) a motivator for students to prepare for class, (e.g., pre-class oraccountability quizzes), (c) a method to assess student

Building self-efficacy (self-perceived ability to successfully engage in a task) 2. Encouraging idea generation 3. Instructing and assessing creativity 4. Rewarding creative ideas and productsWe enacted in a design class the above four approaches to promoting the development ofcreative thinking.

Thus, course-level scaffolding can ensureno student falls through the cracks due to self-regulation difficulties. The scarcity of peer engagement in online STEM courses also shaped learners’ experiences. In line withDillenbourg et al.’s emphasis on structured peer interaction for active learning [8], the participants found virtualclassrooms isolating and not conducive to teamwork or community.

One opportunity is toleverage research on design processes in classrooms as design is taught. This paper presentsstudent work from two instances of a small seminar course in which empirically-based designprocess timelines were used as the basis of teaching undergraduate engineering students aboutdesign processes. Design process timelines are graphical representations that display how anindividual allocates time across a set of design activities as they engage in a design process.These

On co-op terms, students typicallywork for an engineering company and can earn enough to fund their school terms. Despite this,students in first and second year engineering must usually attend classes, labs, and tutorials forthe majority of the day. This leaves little time for students to explore concepts learned in classoutside of lecture hours, and in larger classes it is increasingly difficult to actively engagestudents.
