Theinstructor served as the facilitator and mentor for all the projects.4. Benefits and Challenges of Industry ProjectsThe main benefit to the students is the exposure to real life problems and applying what theylearn in class to solve them. Students also improve their communication and teamwork skills.The faculty advisor benefits from the industry projects through collaborating and networkingwith local industry, using real life examples to illustrate course topics, preparing students forcareers in engineering, and potential research and publication

The blendedlearning system combines “the best of both worlds” although Graham, Allen & Ure [9] foundmost people chose blended learning for three reasons: (1) improved pedagogy, (2) increasedaccess/flexibility, and (3) increased cost effectiveness.Course OverviewThis paper discusses the instructional components of an engineering course using a hybrid/blended model at Utah State University. The course examined is ENGR 2270 – ComputerEngineering Drafting. The course is required for all engineering students majoring in civilengineering, environmental engineering and biological engineering. The course givesengineering students background experience in drafting theory and applications through themedium of computer aided drafting. The

The three courses are taught sequentiallyin the sophomore, junior, and senior years. MEL prepares students for their professional careersby providing a more realistic, professional experience through integrating discipline specificcomponents into complete systems and building subject matter depth through a multiple-coursesequence. The sequence allows experiments to move beyond basic theory verification toreorganizing knowledge and connecting concepts from several courses.Independent evaluators concluded that MEL

Given the past experiences of the committee, the two-day activity required morethan a convening of multiple perspectives and content experts. The challenges that thus far hadhindered the ad-hoc committee’s progress in the SET review can be viewed through thedimensions of complex social systems: structural, attitudinal (e.g., beliefs, values, fears), andtransactional (e.g., interactions, relationships) (Omidyar Group, 2018).The structural

However, a completely different perspective in terms of fighting social stigmatization amongstudents, using application-based projects was presented by K. Koutrouba et al. [6]. They held the application-based projects responsible for the successful acquisition of skills such as persistence, willingness,cooperativeness, creativity and self-starters, while the student’s personal experiences, traits, needs, interestsand objectives were

A summary of the fatigue and related fracturemechanics content included in some popular Mechanics of Materials and Aerospace Structurestextbooks is included in Table A1 in Appendix A. It can be seen in Table A1 that the coverageof fatigue is cursory in typical Mechanics of Materials texts. Most aerospace structures textsinclude some coverage of fatigue topics, but still at an elementary level.A detailed, quantitative analysis of fatigue, requiring significant experience in techniques ofelasticity and study of the subject of fracture mechanics, is beyond the scope of undergraduatestudents and rightly finds a place among graduate studies in Aerospace Engineering.

positively relatedto students’ achievement. Students with a high level of engineering self-efficacy try to learn newskills, which when mastered can then increase their belief in their abilities [14]. Generalengineering self-efficacy has been found to be a strong predictor for GPA [15]. Problem-basedlearning (PBL) research has found that engineering self-efficacy can be improved through aproject-based course like capstone [16, 17]. However, engineering self-efficacy is dependent onthe engineering experience [18].2.

Starting with the spring 2020 semester, a number of chemical engineering laboratory experiences were moved partially or completely remote through a variety of approaches including simulation, remote work, and experiments at home with either local or packaged

For immediate implementation of heutagogicalapproaches, workforce development, continuing education, and massive open onlinecourses (MOOCs) can be the logical starting point, where the primary reason forattendance is generally interest in the topic and perceived utility of the information(Krupinski, Lopez, Lyman, Barker, & Weinstein (2004)[22], not necessarily credentialing.These learners are better suited and prepared for making decisions on what
