, Gonzaga University Steven Zemke, Ph.D., has been involved in engineering design and teamwork for over thirty years as a professional engineer, university professor, and researcher. He is the current Chair of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington and teaches engineering design and teamwork courses. His two research foci are how students learn design and teamwork and how understanding of learning can be used to create more effective pedagogies. Prior to teaching Dr. Zemke was a professional product designer for over twenty years with emphasis on mechanical packaging of microwave circuitry

Using touchscreen devices from home, 45 high school juniors and seniorsenrolled in an educational application consisting of nine lessons on drawing orthographic andisometric figures. As part of their remote instruction during the COVID 19 pandemic,engineering students downloaded the application onto their cell phone or tablet and completed aseries of auto graded exercises that were assigned in their high school course.

Unfortunatelythe technology surrounding the gene enables farmers to grow their crops but not recover theseeds to be planted for the next growing season. The gene alters the crop so that the seeds cannot germinate, forcing farmers wishing to grow the crop to purchase new seeds every year inorder to continue growing the genetically engineered crop. This practice provides customers tothe companies, creating a “monopolists dream.”7 Instead of using the genetic modification of thecrop to produce an improved food supply, the gene increases the farmer’s dependence on theproducing company.BSE senior year: course implementationThis is a good opportunity for

Typically, this is due to students who retakethe class feeling more comfortable with the material and being able to successfully complete thecourse on a second attempt. The percentage of students progressing onto advanced courses wererelatively constant for the fall and spring semesters.

Theknowledge gained in a laboratory courses usually leaves a lasting impression on students asrelated to experiential learning concepts. However, from a practical point of view, there aremany factors that could hinder the effectiveness of the laboratory experience. Some of thesefactors are i) lack of familiarity of many students with procedure, ii) equipment availability andprocedure, and iii) lack of experience with objectives and the expected outcome of theexperiment.

To achieve true proficiency,subsequent classes should routinely exercise prior programming skills and techniques. This isespecially difficult since the current Matlab course is taken by most students in theirfreshman/sophomore year, while the required classes using Matlab are usually taken in lateryears. Students typically remember very little of Matlab and this leads to difficulties onhomework and class projects and necessitates significant amount of class time and office hoursfor reviewing programming concepts.
