in the first year [20]. However, this approach alsopresents challenges. Such projects are common in low-enrollment courses at liberal artsinstitutions and increasingly in K12 settings [21-24], and occasionally in low enrollment first-year programs [8]. However, they are seldom used in large enrollment courses common at publicuniversities [25]. Such projects require a great deal of oversight and effort from faculty involved,and engaging a large number of students meaningfully can be challenging. Yet the benefits ofservice and community-engaged learning are clear, with positive impacts on academic and sociallearning, as well as citizenship [26]. We sought to incorporate aspects of community-engagedlearning into a large-enrollment first year

The COVID-19pandemic’s impact on degree completion patterns presents a significant confounding factor. Whileenrollment numbers recovered to pre-pandemic levels during the implementation of this course,the pandemic may have influenced student willingness to engage with interdisciplinary content,particularly during online and asynchronous instruction periods.These effects extend beyond what enrollment data alone can capture. Additionally, while the stu-dent feedback was collected anonymously

Therefore, exploring how AI-powered tools likeChatGPT can enhance student motivation and performance remains a significant area of interest.This study examined ChatGPT 4.0’s image processing capabilities in solving Mechanics problems.Existing research

Duringthe activity, they engaged in a discussion about decomposition and the definition and merits ofbiodegradable substances. Students planted watermelon and bean seeds, and discussed theresponsibility involved in caring for their plants for the duration of the week. Later, studentsdiscussed the resources needed by people, animals, and plants. They explored the idea of limitedresources, including how resources become limited and the impact of that limitation.

Prior to Term 1, ME 250 required limited electromechanicalelements for student design projects. The course now serves as a platform in which toincorporate mechatronics to the curriculum, with the goal of introducing undergraduate studentsto robotics and coding early in their education, and with learning outcomes that include retentionand a meaningful appreciation of robotics principles.

Based on existing research, we expect threekey factors to influence ideation flexibility: 1) problem framing (the way a problem and itsconstraints are “set”); 2) the use of ideation tools; and 3) ideation teaming (interactions withothers during ideation). Our research investigates the impacts of these key factors on engineeringideation flexibility and correlates them with students’ cognitive styles. Our aim is to createguidelines and methods that will help engineers increase that flexibility by learning how todeliberately engage in ideation using different approaches.

Studentswrite and implement narratives using computer programming to develop a narrative-driven videogame prototype. They use Alice, a three-dimensional animation software (www.alice.org).9,10The LC emphasizes the importance of connecting courses in the major and those in generaleducation.

The quantitative and qualitative evaluations revealed that students who tookthis module achieved better outcomes in LO1 and LO2 (understanding biases in ML) than LO3(taking actions to prevent/reduce biases in ML).To address this limitation, we reflected on the lecture portion of the module. Our current casestudies strongly focused on conveying real-life impact of bias in ML but are relatively lacking inBME-specific case studies and guidelines. In our next iteration, we will integrate more BME-specific discussions with a stronger focus on

The advantages of technology use in teaching, such as time flexibility, accessibility and convenience, are evident. As we expect a light at the end of tunnel for the pandemic, it is of tremendous interest to know how digital learning will impact post-pandemic classroom instruction. In this paper, the effect of digital learning on civil engineering classroom instructions during the pandemic time are studied, and surveys were conducted in three civil engineering courses over the four consecutive semesters from Spring 2020

The first twointerventions were aimed at creating a community and encouraging cooperation among thestudents, a proven good practice in education (Chickering and Gamson, 1987).

growing as online learning proliferates [9]. During COVID-19 we saw a surge inthe use of remote proctoring as restrictions were in place that prevented in-person testing [10],[11]. This surge in users, both on the student and faculty end, has highlighted concerns about theapplication of remote proctoring. One of these concerns is the effect of remote proctoring onstudents [10], [12]. There is work that indicates this form of assessment increases negativeemotions experienced by students such as testing anxiety [10], [12] which may impact students’performance. As such, our goal is to increase the trustworthiness of remote exams while alsocreating a more comfortable testing environment for students.Remote proctoring services discourage cheating
