While most ofthe trips are out of country trips, there are a few in-country or in-state. Table 1 shows the studentenrollment in these trips between 2015 and 2019. Of the students (N=88) who participated in servicelearning courses, 53.4% (47) were female. The number also show that in 5 of the 7 courses femalestudents outnumber male students.

]. Figure 1. Procedure of the LEED Lab ProgramA number of prior studies have addressed the importance of a collaborative project and studentinteraction to prepare for future career paths ([5], [9]-[11]). Dewey also introduced the concept of“learning by doing” that several higher educational institutions have actively adopted for theircourse curricula, along with project-based learning (PBL) and service-learning [12]. By taking a“learning by doing” course, students are able to acquire technical knowledge about the subject aswell as practical experience by demonstrating their knowledge and interacting with projectstakeholders such as other students, university staff, and people in their community. Thus, studentshave the opportunity to apply

One of the key outcomes of TEC333 is that students can apply appropriate datumreference frames to designs. Students are asked to demonstrate their understanding of the datumreference frame concepts in several ways throughout the course on a pretest, tests, onlinequizzes, modeling & drawing assignments, measuring assignments, and the final exam. Specificexamples include labeling a datum reference frame origin on a given drawing, sketching datumfeature symbols on a drawing given

In general, they like traditional presentations,but not as excited as we thought about Powerpoint presentations. Surprisingly mostof them prefer not to read texbooks.

Test AnxietyAbstract Test anxiety is a prevalent psychological issue among higher-education students,particularly those seeking degrees in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics) [1]. Test anxiety is an adverse emotional reaction when faced with a testingcircumstance or comparable evaluative atmosphere. Numerous studies on the impact of testanxiety on STEM students' academic performance have been undertaken. Understanding thecomplex link between test anxiety and academic achievement is critical for developing evidence-based solutions to help students succeed in STEM fields. Despite substantial research on collegestudents' test anxiety, there are major gaps in the literature, particularly in the context ofengineering

They develop the ability to debug, seek and find information they need, and the abilityto understand and reverse-engineer poorly written documentation. The students’ feedback andtheir final project presentation indicate that they have pride in their project accomplishments andhave gained confidence in their engineering abilities.References: 1.

Contemporary workforce requirements change the old stereotype of an engineer as a highlyknowledgeable and technically qualified but introverted specialist. Professional skills that aretransferable to any workplace are displacing technical knowledge at the top of the list of employers’requirements for engineers. Today, engineers are expected to work in multidisciplinary teams,effectively communicate with diverse audiences and stakeholders, and understand the societal impactof engineering decisions [6-7].
