For each vector learning activity described earlier in Table 3, the authorscreated control and treatment groups using either random assignment or stratification based on agraded test administered in the week leading up to the activity. Groups of unequal size werenecessary due to the limited number of AR headsets available to the authors. Control andtreatment groups convened in separate locations on campus. Pre-activity assessments wereadministered at the start of the class session in which the activity was conducted. Students thenparticipated in their respective activity, which was followed by the post-activity assessment.Qualitative methodsQualitative data were gathered via observation and focus group interviews.

As Tekerek’s emphasizes, emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to identify andmanage one's own emotions and the emotions of others, including three critical skills: (1)emotional awareness, (2) emotional harnessing for thinking and problem-solving, and (3)effective emotional management [3]. Recent research shows that engineering students needmore than advanced technical skills to succeed in their field, with emotional intelligencesignificantly relating to cognitive capability and having marked effects on high scholasticachievement [4], [5]. In STEM mentoring relationships specifically, emotional intelligenceserves as a critical bridge between technical

, little is known about the expectations of QL for engineering students asthey begin their college engineering studies. This WIP aims to share the results of usingqualitative content analysis (QCA) to identify how QL appears in first-year engineering courses.These results are the initial step in developing an instrument to measure the QL of engineeringstudents using a Student Model within the evidence-centered designed framework.IntroductionThere is broad agreement that college students need more instruction in QL, as described in [1],[2], and many other studies. Additionally, many existing instruments measure the QL for thegeneral population of collegiate students, like the Heighten QLA [3], Collegiate LearningAssessment+ [4], and the GRE

Most of the sectionshave more than one instructor with several coming from disciplines outside of engineeringallowing experienced mentors to be paired with new faculty. The program does not have anextensive and uniform training to completely calibrate faculty across all the divisions. Like thestudents, our faculty learn as they are doing.The overall program employs two streams of quality control in addition to faculty mentoring.One is the placement of one graduate teaching assistant (GTA) in each division along with theinstructors. Each GTA mentors 3-4 divisions so they experience different instructors. Theprogram’s leadership staff trains and supervises the GTA’s and uses them as a method

As a result, it is hoped that the students will determine an effective collaborative learningapproach that informs each others’ areas of interest regarding international developmentsustainability, while building a knowledge base for better understanding the interrelationshipsamong these disciplines to evaluate long-term interactions between an engineered infrastructureand a recipient community.We emphasize that this course is not design-based, such as an Engineering Capstone project, nordoes it teach technical design. Instead, it focuses engineering minds on the non-engineeringinfluences that must be considered to produce a successful, sustainable engineering design for arecipient outside the designers’ own sociocultural experience.Course

For this reason, an interactive MR module on hydraulic gripper design and assemblyhas been developed as a proof-of-concept and incorporated into the MET:230 Fluid Power class,where a research study has been conducted to explore MR's effectiveness in teaching assemblyprocesses. The module is developed and deployed in an MR setting using the Microsoft-drivenplatform Mixed Reality Tool Kit (MRTK) for Unity via HoloLens 2. It offers a wide range ofcapabilities and functionalities, such as introducing students to the grippers’ basic componentsand subsystems, allowing them to visualize the internal structure of two different gripperdesigns, conduct assembly/disassembly procedures, and learn about the grippers

/structures to ensure better safety and reliability while mitigating the risk of failure.Despite the similarities, wherein both fields deal with the design and analysis of systems, thereare some critical differences in their focus and approach. SoS engineering is a broad disciplineencompassing various aspects of designing and managing complex systems. SoS engineeringmanages the product from the beginning (i.e., brainstorming and idea conception) to the end (i.e.,product obsolete and retirement) of the product lifecycle. Also, SoS considers technical and non-technical factors, including risk appetite assessment, cost improvement, and operational scheduledisruptions. Thus, SoS engineering takes a holistic and comprehensive approach to systemsdesign
