Neurodiverse Students in the Distance Learning EnvironmentAbstractOne of the first large courses that engineering students encounter is Statics, which teachesvarious foundation topics and rigorous assessment schemes. Statics is an important course in thatit gives the student the necessary foundation to further succeed in their education and careers.Re-designs of the Statics course have been proposed to accommodate neurodiverse students,with the prospect that increasing diversity and promoting creative problem-solving skills has thepotential to be beneficial for the Civil Engineering (CE) profession. The objective of this paper isto report a re-design procedure of the Statics course to accommodate neurodiverse students andimprove

At Olin, he served on the committee that designed the inaugural curriculum for the institution, and has played leadership roles in strategic planning, as Chair of the Engineering program, and as Associate Dean for Academic Programs and Curricular Innovation. Somerville’s interest in engineering education focuses largely on facilitating change processes and on the application of collaborative design techniques to curriculum revision; in this capacity he has worked closely with a variety of institutions, both nationally and internationally.

Investigation of Team Conflicts in a Large-Enrollment Introductory Engineering CourseIntroductionTeam-based projects are widely used in introductory engineering courses to support thedevelopment of collaboration and communication skills and engage the novice engineer in higherlevels of thinking. Conflicts within student teams are common, especially in the first year, wherestudents frequently have had limited experience working on substantial projects that requirecontribution from all team members. Ohland et al. have developed a robust peer evaluationsystem (Comprehensive Assessment of Team Member Effectiveness: CATME by PurdueUniversity) that is widely used in engineering programs—including our institution—to collectquantitative

Toprovide faculty with an efficient and effective mechanism for gathering and evaluating programdata, Lipscomb University has developed a syllabus-based ABET assessment and evaluationtool.

For example, one commonly suggested approach is to useportfolios of student work 17,13 . However, especially for large engineering programs that graduatemore than a handful of students each year, the sheer volume of data collected via portfolios canbe enormous. While e-portfolios might simplify the task of storing large volumes of data, sinceelectronic storage space continues to become cheaper, and software can help with the organizationof the materials, the task of assessing the information collected and arriving at possible improve

Compared to course structures with multiple smaller, faculty-led sections, our modelis more financially and logistically feasible in that it represents a partial-to-full workload for amore limited number of faculty members [1].The success of the large-enrollment FYE course that our group has developed is predicated oninstructional support from cadre of near-peer undergraduate teaching assistants, called peerleaders.

This was expressed as an experience of lack of organization, poorinstructors, or the need for “more instructors” so that one could get his graded work backin a more timely fashion.Researchers sometimes speak of a “hierarchy” of categories within the outcome space.When studying students who were given texts to read, Marton and Booth noticed thatsome learners focused on the “sign”, e.g., the text that is read, or the problems that aregiven.

Because troubleshooting existing processes is quite different than designinga new device or process,2 the follow-on design activity would ideally entail an advanced phase ofthe same project that involves troubleshooting flaws in their first design activity. In addition, thismultiyear design project would allow for the assessment of teamwork and communicationsthroughout the students' engineering program, not just during the last semester – which isessential for student development
