Interactions are oftenfacilitated through online discussion boards, Zoom, and other online facilitators. These facilitatorsoffer sparse interactions, which lead to feelings of isolation and a lack of motivation. Students inonline courses drop out for a variety of reasons including lack of time, course difficulty, lack ofsupport, etc. These factors provide larger dropout rates for online courses compared to traditionalcourses.This study will specifically highlight how interpersonal interactions affect engagement in onlineengineering courses and answers the following research question, ‘How do undergraduateengineering students enrolled in online

Beyond demonstrating that a subtlesexism is manifest in male engineers’ talk, our interest remained in: (a) situating sucharticulations in the career socialization and mentoring literature, (b) providing a more nuancedapproach to understanding how male engineers

Prince‟s definition of active learning emphasizes the instructor‟s rolein the classroom. Active Learning refers to techniques where students get involved more actively in the process of learningthan just simply listen to a lecture.

cases, there is a list ofrequired student outcomes, the so-called “a’ through “k” lists. Although they are different for the twocommissions, there are many similarities, particularly in what are commonly referred to as the “softskills.” These include teamwork, communications skills, global perspectives, ethics, life-long learning,and contemporary issues. Often the faculty would like to leave many of these to the students’humanities and social science courses. However, at many schools there is a wide variety of electivesfor students in those areas and it is impossible to guarantee that they will receive exposure to all of the ato k items. Thus, it is the author’s contention that the technical courses must cover these topics.The author teaches a

perceived usefulness, ease of use, andeffectiveness of an online engineering educational tool on a diverse population of engineeringstudents through the lens of the Technology Acceptance Model (Bagozzi, Davis, & Warshaw,1992; Davis, 1989, 1993). Specifically, this work focused on determining if students’ perceptionsof the tool varied as a function of gender and race; and whether this population of studentsexpected aspects of their ethnicity or culture to be incorporated into the game. Towards achievingthis goal, a Mixed-Method Sequential Exploratory Research Design Method (Creswell & PlanoClark, 2018) was proposed and approved by the primary Institutional Review Board of the firstauthor and a cede of that IRB from the institution (at the

Higher content knowledge among TAs has been positively correlated to higher,end-of-semester content knowledge among the students that these TAs taught [19]. Students whoperceived these same TAs to be more supportive also reported that they had learned morecontent [19]. While most studies of TAs have been conducted at large institutions where TAs areused in significant numbers, these positive impacts also extend to smaller institutions.

There are no prerequisites forthe redesigned course (nor were there for the predecessor course) and students will engage inseveral individual and group learning activities throughout the term. Our motivation for writingthis paper about the redesign of Principles was to investigate how through a better designedcourse we can potentially influence more students, particularly engineers, toward developing orenhancing their entrepreneurial mindset and becoming more entrepreneurial in whatever theychose to do. Better design was assumed to mean a course more aligned with curriculum designmodels known to produce superior learning results in undergraduate students.

Withincooperative activities, individuals seek outcomes that are beneficial to them and also benefitall other group members.

The positive interpersonalrelationships promoted through cooperative learning are regarded by most as crucial totoday’s learning communities. They increase the
