the merits of using algebrasystems, visualization and simulation tools in teaching undergraduate courses inengineering electromagnetics. A complex computer-assisted problem-based learningsystem is proposed and is underway to be developed to assist and enhance teaching andlearning of electromagnetics through the use of symbolic computation, multimedia, andvisualization. Electromagnetics forms the basis of all electrical engineering fromelectrostatics, electric machines, power electronics, microwave engineering to radiopropagation and antenna theory. Electromagnetics has long been considered to be one ofthe most difficult subjects by students, primarily for the following reasons: a)electromagnetic concepts are perceived to be abstract, b) the

materials, activity examples, andexercises 12 . Graduate students have been involved in developing further database functions, andthey can draw their thesis research topics related to those works 13 .As a reply to the demand for students with database skills, we integrated a materials database intoour freshman course this year, for students to have a chance to experience on their own how thedatabase can be exploited. To this end, we modified a new computational module on crystalvisualization that was introduced to our freshman course in 2019 14 . This module helps students tounderstand and learn the atomic structure of materials and projections on crystallographic planes.Students experienced the connection between theory and experiments by

ABET6.Our undergraduate program strives to produce engineers who are a step ahead of their peers andhave begun to look beyond entry-level jobs. Our primary goals are to improve the educationalprocess outside the classroom and to encourage students to take a more active role in their ownpersonal and curricular development. In order to connect student activities and abilities to theobjectives of our overall program, we established a set of “six tools” that we feel are essential forgraduates to become successful engineers. Further, we would like to implement a project thatencourages our students to make connections among their curricular options and between theirstudents and extracurricular pursuits. Another goal is to add to the department’s

This is the ‘scale-out’ portion of our project, aswe seek to expand the work and develop similar introductory courses in other

Through a grant from the National Science Foundation, three community colleges inCalifornia collaborated to develop resources and teaching strategies to enable small communitycollege engineering programs to support a comprehensive set of lower-division engineeringcourses that are delivered either completely online, or with limited face-to-face interactions. Thebiggest challenge in developing such strategies lies in designing and implementing courses thathave lab components.

Lacking a richness of stored information, the wiki was not their firstchoice when the TAs were looking for information or advice. As a tool for fostering theirprofessional development, the wiki component of the website plays a secondary role comparedwith staff meetings and personal contacts with faculty, staff, and experienced TAs.

applicability of student outcomes toPEOs, the mapping of PEOs to student outcomes not only fulfilled the ABETrequirement, but also, the calculation of Bloom’s levels relations provided directcomparison of PEOs to curricular student outcomes. This provided an effective meansfor evaluating whether PEOs were being appropriately reinforced in the classroom. Thetool also provided a rationale for reassessing the wording of the PEOs themselves.

latent concepts like self-efficacy.[7] The difficultyrelates to adequate sampling of the domain that the instrument is designed torepresent. This causes an issue of assuring representativeness of a particular item.Even so, content validity has been employed in previous studies looking atengineering-related self-efficacy. Baker, Krause, and Purzer [8] used contentvalidity effectively in the development of separate tinkering and technical self-efficacy scales. The two scales were constructed based on expert views andoptions of two open-ended questions about tinkering and technical skills. Expertanswers were used to represent the domain.Quade [9] also used content validation in the development of a computer scienceself-efficacy scale for first-year

They created detailed floor plans of the buildings using appropriate software CASE tools to provide visual information concerning entrances, elevators, area parking, departments and offices in each building. In addition, the corresponding times and distances between buildings were estimated. Parts of the project were accomplished in class, but most of the work was done outside the classroom and later in the computer lab. The results from the team project have been used in the development of two other comprehensive student projects assigned in another course, Readings and Projects in CS and ISs, as individual projects.
