The context for peer review of an oral presentation is the assignment of a“slecture,” a term coined by the professor to refer to a student online lecture. These lectures arebased on topics in the course teaching material; students are allowed to choose one whichinterests them. They can also choose the medium of instruction for the slecture—text, video of astudent explaining at the blackboard, video of a hand on paper with audio, or a PowerPointpresentation with audio. These options help students who may feel uncomfortable speaking andappearing in a video. The completed slectures are posted on a free and publically accessiblewebsite called Project Rhea (www.projectrhea.org).Thus, two characteristics

This club gives me an opportunity to get hands onexperience in design and manufacturing before I would have in classes and gain experience” asan underclassman. “Delivering the products, in the face of all the [COVID-related] challengeswe faced, has been very rewarding.”A junior electrical engineering student appreciated the “eye opening” (problem finding) aspect ofthe team’s mission. “I've enjoyed getting experience working on real-world engineeringproblems, as well as finding projects from the surrounding community.”As an all-volunteer team, they clearly take pride in
education, as well as in graduate-level courses [5]. Moreover, PBL has been usedin different fields of study, including the humanities [6] social sciences [7] natural sciences [8]formal sciences [9], and applied sciences [10]. In regard to PBL in STEM education, PBL can beunderstood as an educational approach such that students learn and develop deeper STEM skillsby working in teams on meaningful real-world engineering design projects [11]. Theseengineering design projects may have different goals, such as creating products or services,solving a problem, or answering a research question [4]. In a typical STEM based PBL course,students are challenged to learn by getting their hands dirty by discovering the necessary skillsand materials to accomplish
results obtained from thestandalone equipment instead of figuring out how to troubleshoot the circuits. In addition, studentsprefer in-person sessions because of the tutor (TA) engagement and feedback, as stated in Table4.References[1] A. J. Magana, C. Vieira, and M.

This hasbeen attributed to the ability of simulations to allow students to act as their own investigators dueto their dynamic and interactive representation of physical systems or phenomena. Students can,at their own pace, develop and test their own models in order to develop an understanding of thephysical system in a way unique to each student’s learning process [13]-[18]. This versatilityallows simulations to cater to a wide range of individuals, especially those who find “hands-on”activities more effective than lectures and reading material.

The story of polyethylene garbage bags has been used as a structure around which toorganize a course on numerical methods applied to chemical engineering problems. Startingwith natural gas, a series of problems is posed that must be solved if one is to eventually end upwith a garbage bag.The course begins with a theme, written about some aspect of polyethylene: raw materials,production methods, uses, business trends, recycling, etc. These themes are then put on
undergraduate engineering curriculum is extremely challenging, largely due to thecomplexity of the processes and concepts it introduces. One good way to handle this complexityand assist students in learning about the development of engineered products is by providingenhanced visualization of the processes and concepts involved. This has been recognizedrecently by several researchers who are attempting to harness state-of-the-art virtual realityexperiences to improve the quality of engineering education. This has prompted one group towrite, "Virtual reality has grown up. Once an exotic field of computer sciences, it is now animportant topic for the engineers of tomorrow."1The engineering research and development of a virtual reality flight simulator

delivering the lectures, assigning homework, and interacting withstudents.2.1.1 Preparing the Course Structure and TopicsPreparing the course structure and lecture topics was one of the most rewarding aspects ofteaching for me. The Introduction to Mechanical Engineering course has been traditionallytaught as an overview of the topics covered in mechanical engineering. When I decided to teachthis course, along with Dr. Wood, we met with Dr. Schmidt and borrowed his notes to examinethe topics covered during the semester. The first thing I noticed was the lack of hands-onlectures. I am a strong believer in making the course entertaining so that the students will becaptivated by the material, instead of the traditional lecturing styles3,6. In particular
