One study done at a large public university in Spain examined ChemE Caras an application of Learning-by-Doing (LbD), a type of active learning that seeks to havestudents learn from their experience with hands-on projects, and found that ChemE Carparticipation achieved the same goals and purposes of implementing LbD in the classroom (13).A similar mechatronics-oriented competition in which students build low cost self-driving carssimilarly developed undergraduates’ skills for working in teams in hands-on situations (15
Active Reserve, National Guard, and civilian components.This student-centered program with NCO mentorship is not only a unique educationalexperience, but a valuable leadership laboratory. The FERL course provides essentialbackground knowledge that integrated into the overall curriculum, as described by Jenkins, et al[3]. The goal of this paper is describe how the FERL program has been integrated throughoutthe civil engineering program at the USAFA, and to potentially serve as a model for otherinstitutions interested in establishing a similar type program.One way in which FERL breaks the mold of traditional education is through its unique "constructfirst-design later" approach. Traditional education consists of classroom lectures and labsfollowed
interrelatedness1-7. More specifically,concept maps enable students to internalize the information they have learned, identify the keyconcepts, and document relationships between these key concepts by drawing physicalconnections between them1, 2, 5. Through concept mapping, the focus of the classroom shifts fromtraditional lecture to an active learning environment2, 7. Concept maps encourage students to beconscious of their learning style2, 7 and to determine which aspects of the material are difficultfor them1-3. Further, concept mapping has shown to be effective in increasing studentengagement and learning in many studies1, 2, 3, 6 as well as lead to more efficient use of classroomtime by more clearly understanding topics students need to be clarified7

Ideally,every engineering student would develop not only technical competence within their disciplines,but also the self-directed lifelong learning skills and attitudes required for success in the future,regardless of their initial level of preparation for the collegiate learning environment.References[1] J.

There is a lack of research inthis area which focuses on engineering based courses in the summer versus regular semesters.3. Differences in Course Implementation (Semester vs. Summer)In general, students were registered for a significantly more number of course credits overregular semesters (typically ~12-16 credits, implying about 4-5 courses and labs) as compared tosummer session registrations (typically ~3-6 credits, implying about 1-2 courses). In spite of this,students seemed to be generally more relaxed over the longer duration semesters (~15-weeks)when compared to the shorter duration (one-third the duration) summer sessions (~5-weeks)though they were

Three questions are aboutpossible negative impact on students’ availability during the class time or on their timecommitment, or about possible technical difficulty for taking lessons online. Followed are 15Likert-scale questions on the use of tools, instructional materials, and hands-on learningactivities. We found that 1) there is no statistically significant difference between the studentperformance in the online section and that in the face-to-face sections, 2) among three surveyedchallenges, students’ time commitment to this online course was most negatively impacted bypandemic-related situations, and 3) student feedbacks
humankind unique, both individually and as a species, remains unclear. Advances in neuroscience and computer science, as well as ethics, generate questions about the nature of intelligence, consciousness, and personhood and the rights and protections associated with being human. In this course students tackle classic readings from Descartes to modern ruminations on artificial intelligence, examine our relation to our creations and pets, and the way our various identities affect how our personhood is perceived and protected.Some basic information from the course syllabus is described below.Broad Topics covered 1. Basic neuroscience 2. Distinctions between humans and nonhumans 3. Emotional connection and dependencies between
