interaction. A half-open-endedproblem is particularly suitable for materials science labs where students are often required toaddress engineering problems from a materials aspect. Not only does it require students tointegrate knowledge and experience from different courses to understand real-world problems,but it also demands the use of multiple characterization technologies to comprehend a material.Specifically, conversation with chat GPT is allowed and encouraged in this stage of the lab.The materials science lab is materials-based, and the materials of faculty research are chosenfor lab modification. One of the primary distinctions lies in the evolution of the lab's objectives. Instead ofsolely focusing on familiarizing students with
BSIE students. A total of 56 studentsenrolled. The classroom capacity was 50. So the author opened up an online version for thosethat wished not to risk the pandemic. Fortunately, seven students enrolled in the online version.This allowed every in person student to attend every lecture. In contrast, many other fall 2020classes had schedules where students could only attend lecture once a week. The classroom had technology, so the author would present his work on a piece of paper thatwas then projected to two screens for the in person students to view. At the same time, videoequipment captured this screen for the online students. The faculty’s voice was recorded, but anystudent’s comments were not. The faculty member tried to repeat the

. INTRODUCTIONIt is frequently necessary to provide an analytical model of an engineering process or systembased on the results of testing such systems. This need may arise in designing a control systemfor such a process or in providing a summary description of test results. In some practical cases,the process is of such complexity that the equations describing the process are either notavailable or else are too unwieldy to be useful. In less complicated cases, such as described here,the equations may be readily obtained but either the parameters are unknown or else there is aneed for an experimental check on the parameter estimates obtained by approximations.The three cases reported here arose from three separate undergraduate engineering courses
major. This can make a student feel distantfrom their chosen major, and potentially lead to a lack of retention. Interaction with professorsfrom a student’s chosen major in the initial semesters of higher education might be advantageousin getting them involved and integrated into the program they have chosen. A report by thePresident’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology published in 2012, suggested thatthe first two years of college are the most critical to the retention and recruitment of STEMmajors [1]. Often curriculums have introductory courses for each program, and these aretypically taught wholly or in part by professors who are experts in a student’s field of study.However, there is often only a brief amount of time in courses

Engineering Education, 2025 Problem-Based and Project-Based Robotics Engineering Program: An Integrated ApproachIntroductionRobotics engineering (RE) is an interdisciplinary field that integrates competencies from themechanical engineering (ME), electrical engineering (EE) and computer engineering (CE)disciplines. Industry is seeking engineers capable of simultaneously considering the mechanics,electronics, and computing aspects of robotics or system design. Also, robotics is widely used inactivities at the elementary and secondary school levels, and students aiming to pursue a careerin robotics are interested in receiving training in all three aspects and their integration, ratherthan being limited to choosing just

This impacts their recruitment, retention, and futurecareer paths. Women often face issues such as lowered sense of self-efficacy, poorer groupexperiences, and less stable support networks. The goal of this multi-semester study was to findthe factors that help recruit and retain women engineering

the time the University System of Georgia went into lockdown due to the COVID-19 virus. The students had already begun the final project so supplychain issues were not a factor. The biggest issue was communication with students. Fortunately,the University System of Georgia had been phasing into use a system referred to as D2L(or Desire2Learn) for distance learning education. The transition from face-to-face to distancelearning went quite smoothly and occurred just after Spring Break. The issue of being onlinewas the speed of communication. The inherent asynchronous nature of distance learning slowedcommunication down considerably. The following semester, Summer 2020, however, wasanother matter.In Summer semester 2020, the University System of
