student learning declined, remained stable, or improved in the process ofshifting to this remote laboratory paradigm.BackgroundFor simplicity, throughout this paper we will refer to the ERT course which offered access toFPGA hardware remotely as “remote offering” or "remote laboratory" and will refer to the in-hand access to that same hardware as “traditional offering” or "traditional laboratory".Courses in electrical and computer engineering often include a lab component that providesstudents with hands-on experience in system design, programming, and problem solving.Traditionally, students receive physical lab kits and get access to lab facilities to complete theirlab assignments. The transition to remote instruction due to COVID-19 urged a
understanding. Results from thepast 5 years will be presented to give a better understanding of how to appropriately use TLMs inDigital Systems and other similar courses.IntroductionThe University of Arkansas – Fort Smith (UAFS) is an open admission institution with strongties to local industry; it supports many technology related programs. UAFS in conjunction withthe University of Arkansas - Fayetteville (UAF) offers bachelor degrees in Electrical andMechanical Engineering. The Fort Smith campus is responsible for the first two years of thedegree and additional interactions with senior design students. One of the sophomore coursesregularly instructed by University of Arkansas – Fort Smith is Digital Systems. In order tocomply with the Arkansas
. Motivation for this study came from the informalobservation that during group work in introductory engineering courses it was generally theperson with prior programming experience who completed programming tasks, despite the tasksostensibly being designed to require only those skills taught in class. To be eligible forparticipation, subjects were required to use their own laptop and have their own project to workon. The rational for these restrictions were that we wanted to as much as possible recreate arealistic experience for the subjects despite them coming into a lab environment for the study.Additionally, asking participants to come with their own projects to work on alleviated certainchallenges seen in other problem-solving studies. For
students’ experiences in their programs, but theyoften lack training in how to provide essential psychosocial support to their doctoral advisees.This can result in negative graduate experiences, especially for underrepresented groups. Whileresearch into psychological safety in the corporate world has highlighted its importance, theimportance of psychological safety is less understood in academia, particularly in the context ofgraduate engineering education. This study seeks to understand how engineering faculty advisorsinfluence the psychological safety of doctoral students they advise and the impact ofpsychological safety on the student’s graduate experience. We use a mixed methods design andin-depth qualitative study to address the research aims

Engineering Education, 2013 The Influence of a Teaching Assistant Orientation on Teaching Assistant Perceptions of Self-EfficacyAbstractGraduate students at large, research-intensive institutions are often funded as teaching assistants(TAs) for undergraduate courses. Although content-specific training programs are beneficial forTA development, training in general pedagogical principals is also required given that most TAslack the pedagogical knowledge required to teach effectively. Thus, developing a sense of self-efficacy related to pedagogical principles is important for TA development. This is especiallyrelevant for international TAs who must become familiar with the American classroom whilealso learning how to
and Mental HealthAbstractMental health is a key attribute for success in graduate programs. However, previous studiesdemonstrate a growing mental health crisis in graduate education, which can contribute to issueswith productivity, departure, and well-being. Engineering students are not immune to this crisis,yet are one of the least likely disciplines to seek help for mental health.Despite this trend, there is limited literature available to provide evidence-based practices foraddressing the causes and persistence of mental health issues for engineering graduate students.To address this need and to begin advocating for systemic change, this project will explore howfaculty and student attitudes about mental health intersect with the

physics, they alsobelieved they were least “learnable.” Students also associated some key concepts aspects ofinnovation and entrepreneurship as being important to physics (e.g. technology, communication,creativity) but others (design, business) as being unimportant to physics and more closely relatedto other fields (e.g. business or engineering) [23].This finding is significant for two reasons. The first is that design and business concepts (e.g. IP,funding sources, creating a value proposition, and project management) are routinely employedby even the most “pure” research academic in physics - even more so the vast majority ofphysicists who are employed in the private sector. The second is that it reveals a system ofboundaries dividing the

At thegraduate level, foreign students typically filled teaching assistant and research assistantpositions, providing necessary classroom and laboratory support for faculty members.Graduate students from abroad have been particularly important in engineering andscience, at a time when too few American students chose to enter these difficult fields ofstudy. And the foreign graduates of master’s and doctoral programs in engineering andscience have provided a necessary and desirable flow of employees to American firms –particularly those in the high tech

training, several courses havebeen designed to directly prepare the student for the industrial experience.One of these is a course in software engineering wherein students are assembled into projectteams of five members and given traditional industrial projects to complete. The students for thiscourse were middlers (students between traditional sophomore and junior years) and have limitedprogramming experience although all have taken at least one programming course (generallyC++ and often Visual Basic). The limited experience forces the team to rely more heavily on themore technically astute members and is typical of what might be found in an industrial settingwhere a project that is outside the group’s technical comfort zone may have to completed
