Brooks, Benton-Kupper, andSlayton concluded that assessment of capstone performance is on the reflection and contributionby each team member [5]. These ideas for a capstone class are the foundation for the ECE SeniorDesign course sequence at Missouri S&T (Senior Design is a two-semester sequence in whichthe first semester focuses on the design and organization of the project and the second semesterimplements the concept).Typically, each team is allowed to pick their project independently and no two teams could dothe same project. However, in Fall 2023 the instructor introduced a slight wrinkle in that teamswere allowed to select a coil gun project in which they

A web-native, interactive textbookcalled a zyBook is used for the course. Specific steps used to integrate Kahoot into this class arelisted below: 1. ENGR 1412 is a two-hour course with a one-hour lecture followed by a 2-hour lab (can be on different days). 2. Multiple lecture sections and labs are offered. 3. Overall class size is 200 – 400 students per semester. 4. Before lecture, students complete Participation Activities (PA) and Challenge Activities (CA) in the zyBook. These include interactive questions, animations, and short homework-type problems. 5. For the first half

3. Figure 3 Example of construction progress in time-lapse [8]Facility management with DroneFacility management is a crucial task that involves inspecting and assessing the condition ofstructures and other elements in a building. With the increasing use of drones in facilitymanagement, conducting inspections in areas with limited physical access has become easier. Anotable example of this is AkitaBox, a commercial platform that uses drone technology fromPrecisionHawk to provide remote sensing and data processing services. This platform combinesbuilding management software with drones to create a 'Smart Package' that eliminates the needfor manual inspections of the exterior of a complex [5].

instructional strategies [3,4,5,6,7,8]. Although previous studieshave identified various PD approaches for new GTAs, there remains a gap in the literature withrespect to GTAs’ understanding of their role and agency in executing what they consider to beeffective strategies for teaching and learning. Kajfez and Matusovich [9] conducted a study onGTAs in large first-year engineering programs and identified three teaching identity profiles:strong, transitional, and weak. These profiles are linked to their self-assessment of identity as ateacher (measured on a likert scale) and are correlated with their future career goals. While wehave not asked the GTAs to explicitly rate their identity as teachers, many of them aspire tobecome professors and future

TAs are expected to fill a variety of roles: they directly instruct students indiscussions, labs, and lectures, host office hours, and complete a large portion of the formativeand summative assessment for their students [2]. While the value of these educators is evident,training is resource-intensive and there are no standardized models of training.

Our objective was to observe howstudents' presence in the classroom affects their academic outcomes. We utilized 15-weekattendance data, students' exam grades, and lab grades to investigate the relationship betweenattendance and performance across three semesters.

However,this study in particular had a less conventional – and arguably in-effective – way of assessingstudents' connection to the affective domain [14]. Instead of asking students to qualitativelydescribe their experience and opinions or demonstrate whether they agree or disagree with aqualitative statement about their learning experience, this study had instructors assess students'connection to the affective domain [14]. For example, the instructor assessed students disciplineawareness in relationship to things such as attendance, participation, and cooperation [14].

According tothese scales, a system that achieves a score in the range of 40-60 is comparable in usability tomost of successful commercial software products. However, these subscales are defined forusability analysis for general software.
