I did have a master’sdegree in electrical and computer engineering, but admittedly, I entered the course a bit dauntedat the idea of teaching the subject that had become distant. Consequently, I spent the latter part ofthe summer reacquainting myself with these concepts that had once been so accessible.Yet, in some regard, my ongoing research bore relevance in course preparation. Myinvestigations have highlighted how engineering students exist in our programs and courses aswhole persons that are crystallizing what it means for them to be an engineer in relation to whothey are as persons17.

survey consisted of 42 items that asked students about their reasonsfor choosing engineering, their confidence in their abilities to become engineers, and theiropenness to experiences that would help them become engineers of 2020.Because the goal of this survey was to answer research questions that were specific to this studyand population, it was necessary to create a new instrument, rather than use an existing one8.Some of the steps outlined by Creswell8 and adapted from Benson and Clark9 were followed: 1. The purpose of the instrument and the target population were identified. 2. The literature was reviewed to learn about other studies that had related research questions, and these studies were used to inform the item creation

A troubling fact is, after instruction,students often emerge from our classes with serious misconceptions [2 - 6]. Rebello [7] suggests that the essential goal of education is the transfer of learning.Research in the field of Physics Education continues to provide educators with a window throughwhich an understanding of how students learn physics can be developed.

One approach has been toform “symbiotic” partnership between industry and academia through senior capstone projects. Page 24.948.2The capstone course has evolved over the years from “made up” projects devised by faculty toindustry-sponsored projects where companies provide “real” problems, along with expertise andfinancial support. In fact, design courses, in general, have emerged as a means for students to beexposed to some flavor of what engineers actually do; and also, could learn the basic elements

To gather information from students whodecided to dropout, meetings with the students or with the advisors (when meeting the studentwas not advisable) occurred. This step provided a benchmark to start ideating about crafting thecourse.The second step was to conduct charrette meetings with professors from all fields of knowledgein the civil engineering department to develop the course objectives, the course content, and thedesired student experience. Eleven professors (6 are Alumni and 5 are not Alumni) participatedin the charrette meetings.

Video Length for Studying Machine Learning in a Flipped ClassroomAbstractIn recent years, the flipped classroom has emerged as an increasingly popular teaching method inhigher education, as it is seen as an effective way to promote active learning among students.Nevertheless, a crucial factor that has not been studied in-depth is students' preference for thelength of videos in the flipped classroom. Although a few studies have considered the designprocess of videos and students' preferences for video length in a flipped classroom, there arevarying recommendations and a lack of data-driven analysis on how many and how long the videosshould be.

Energy is a foundational concept and is taught in manydifferent contexts, both within engineering and more broadly in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM). As we reviewed this literature, three major questions emerged:how do we define energy? (ontology), how do students conceptualize energy? (epistemology),and how do we teach energy? (pedagogy).An Ontological Question: How do we define energy?Energy
